I was just looking at filter pads for the fx5 on e-bay and noticed some that are not fluval brand.Has anyone bought these? I was thinking about getting the blue ones 6 for about $8.00 Wondering if they are good quality? Fluval brand are 3 for about $8

A single fluval pad will last you years. You can rinse/clean that thing until it falls apart. 3 for 8 is more expensive, but the 3 pack that fits the filter exactly will probably last 10 or so years.

I don't have one of the blue pads yet just useing the polishing pad that came with it. I was just wondering about the aftermatket filters they are very cheap. Sometimes you get what you pay fore.
