Fluval FX6 High Performance Canister Filter

Product Information

The multi-flow nozzles mean you can angle the water flow in different directions reducing its speed. You get about the same biological volume at the biggest model the competition do but you get about 3x more mechanical filtration.

Many times we tend to forget the maintenance schedule, so the filter comes with the Indicator Dials so you never miss the next maintenance and water change date. We put a lot of emphasis on simplicity of use in our evaluation, so aside from the Fluval FX6’s sheer performance, the setup procedure is an excellent illustration of how this filter excels in either way. An anti-clog, telescopic strainer ensures continuous water flow, and valves positioned at convenient 45-degree angle offer easy installation and rotation.

I got the FX6 set up, added seasoned filter media from one of my established tanks and added the goldfish. I would highly recommend that you allot at least an hour and a half, possibly two, to getting this set up.

While large the Fluval FX6 ensures as stress-free an aquarium experience as possible for aquarists with the biggest tanks! Made with precision and an objective of providing the best, the Fluval FX6 and the FX4 are the Beast. Giving the aquarist years of trouble crystal clear, healthy, well oxygenated, sparkling water that your fish will thank you for.

The Fluval FX6 External Filter might well look like R2D2‘s latest fling but no it is indeed a filter. Purge valvesare a necessity for canister filters and can makewater changeseasy, but some of them are a pain to use. The FX5 is more power hungry when compared to the FX6 as it uses 50 watts at 120V/60Hz as well as 48 watts at 230-240V/50Hz.

As well as this, if you angle both valves into different sides of the tank it’s going to greatly reduce the flow. The Fluval FX6 by Hagen promises to be a hassle-free, high-performance filtration solution for tanks up to 400 gallons in volume. The filter can be used for saltwater or freshwater aquariums but is particularly popular with cichlid keepers due to its high turnover and large filter capacity. For our Fluval FX6 review, we installed Fluval FX6 External Canister Filter to a 350 US Gallon tank.Connect the multi-directional output nozzle to the end of the tubing with a locking clamp, and the most part is done. Replacements with Manufacturer Authorization: Replacements, whether parts or goods, can only be offered when authorized by the manufacturer. If your tank is too small for an FX6, but you still want a totally awesome canister filter, take a look at the Fluval 07 series.
