Does anyone have any spare FX5 lid screwdowns? Those orange plastic anchor pieces on bottom tend to break over time and want to have some extra lid screwdowns on reserve. Thanks.

If you don't mind the drive call That Fish Place in Lancaster, PA. It's about a 2 hour drive for you. They have spare parts. Might want to call 1st. It's a pet store that is the size of a Super Market. Huge Aquarium section.

You can also try House Of Tropicals in Glen Burnie, MD. About a 1 hour drive for you.

Congressional in Rockville probably has them, too. They're a lot shorter of a drive.

If you don't need them today you can do Amazon or Ebay.

Those little guys are expensive. Just replaced one of mine. On ebay odyssea appears to have the same ones (not sure if they are exact in size) for way cheaper.

For temporary measures you can always try Home Depot or Lowes for a regular wing nut if you know the size. That should be less than $2.00.

I saw somewhere where a guy just bent a regular washer and it did the trick. Cost was probably pennies.
