BEA_V1S Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 g'day. I am setting up a new 2nd hand set-up atm.... I hooked up the fluval fx5, it coughed up a few bubbles and than ran sweet. after about 5min it stopped flowing, after another 5min it started again.... Is this normal?? obviously I don't have a manual and I am a FX5 virgin... all feedback appreciated. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS969 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 They do stop sometimes to purge the air out so no need to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakypead Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 It will stop for two minutes after you turn it on for two minutes than it will stop for another two minutes every 24hours to get rid of any air build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
