Setting Up Fluval Fx5

[Rickster]

Hi,


Recently brought an FX5, getting a bigger tank shortly, but wanted to run FX in my current tank. However the intake pipe that comes with it with which has the bit on the end to help clogging of the filter, is to big to be vertical in my current Rio 180. Without cutting the tube as my new tank will be taller, how do I set it up to run, as I want to mature the new media ready for the swap over???



Thanks

Take the extension pipe off until you need it for your new tank
