Advanced motor Technology provides high 3500 litre per hour flow at 10% less consumption than previous models. I love all of the huge, reusable mechanical filter media that comes with this filter. There are several different sponges, of different coarseness levels, throughout the baskets. In my opinion, there is no need to add disposable filter floss to this setup. We bought a Fluval fx6 for our Roma 240 tank we will be making into a planted tank - hopefully giving us more than enough flow rate. Why goldfish you might ask? Because they are the dirtiest fish that produce more waste than just about any other species in the aquarium trade. As the water travels down into your middle tray this is where biological filtration starts. Only the cleanest water should reach your bio-media as to not clog up the surface area with detritus slowing down the growth of beneficial bacteria.You get a super nifty maintenance schedule that tells you how often to replace/maintain things like the o-ring seals.

The issue we are having is our tank is drilled in the bottom and has 22m hoses whilst the fx6 hoses are I Beleve 1" - along with that our inline heater and co2 atomizer need the 22m hose. If you were impressed by the capabilities of the FX6 then you might not care about the design one way or the other, but if you had to choose you might as well go with the pretty option! Setup You would think that with the impressive output that theFluval FX6 canister filterbrings to the table there would be some additional noise right?

Like every other product, this one has its flaws and can most often be solved in a pinch. There’s a pattern of misconceptions and problems that usually happen with this product, and you’ll find them explained below. Startup IssuesIf you want a high-performing filter for large fish tanks, you’ll have to choose between the Fluval FX4 and Fluval FX6 because the Fluval FX5 is no longer available. In ourFluval FX6canister filterreview, we wanted to spend an appropriate amount of time on themedia baskets. This is something that owners get a lot of use out of, so it was worth a close look. Stagnant or non-moving water will allow waste, debris and any leftover food to build up and begin breaking down and releasing harmful ammonia into your water. Stagnant water also encourages the buildup of algae on surfaces and substrate. This is why using a filter rated for 400 gallons on a 400 gallon tank would be such a poor idea. I have to say that this is a really quiet filter! I couldn’t believe it. It pumps out SO much water and all you hear is just a little hum.
