It’s probably the most popular and well-respectedfiltration systemsamong aquarists withlarge tanks. It over-delivers and gives you the reliability that you would expect from the Fluval brand. You could do empty/fill your tank using the utility valve, avoiding the mess caused by manual siphoning. The canister utilizes 3 internal media baskets to place your mechanical, biological and chemical filtration media inside. Each of these 3 trays has a smaller tray nested inside of it to allow variation on types of filter media. This makes it easy to include a few different sizes and types of biological media. In our opinion, the Fluval FX6 is a beautiful looking product that won’t be an eyesore if you decide to keep it out in the open. Even if eventually you downgrade or upgrade to another tank, you’ll be safe with the Fluval FX6 since it works great on all medium to large sizes of tanks. Features & Benefits of Fluval FX6Granted, this is a bare bottom setup, but I’m used to still having a bunch of gunk at the bottom of the tank that has to be vacuumed up, even in a bare bottom tank. But, not with this filter! I feel like I should get some sort of technical certification after reading the instructional manual. While the pump outputs 925 gallons per hour (GPH) the filter turns over 523 gallons of aquarium water per hour. Therefore, the Fluval FX6 is rated for aquariums up to 400 gallons in size. Finally your water enters the bottom tray where it is chemically filtered to remove any toxins or medications that may be in the water. Should you use the media that comes with the Fluval FX6? While very capable, most canister filters are overkill for aquariums smaller than 30 gallons. The small bioload of small aquariums makes them impractical in terms of cost versus power filters unless you simply want the very best filtration possible.

This is fine due to the fact that the water has already passed through coarse sponge and a polishing pad so more mechanical filtration is not necessarily required at this point. Just note that the more media that you add, the slower the water will move. Biological Media Although the Fluval Fx6 says it can handle aquariums up to 400 gallons it’s always a good idea to half the amount manufacturers are saying to know the trust maximum size. However, you may be wondering what the minimum size for this filter is. It’s also a great canister filter for newbies and experts alike as it’s easy to set up, easy to maintain and easy to clean. Replacement of Glass or Ceramic Items: Glass or ceramic items can only be replaced if the store is notified within 48 hours of receiving the delivery. Previous to my proposed plans, I've done large 50% water changes weekly by treating the tank with dechlorinator whilst the filter is off and then adding the fresh water. I've had no problems what so ever doing this.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. I didn't buy this filter previously because I thought it would be too big at 40cm wide (diameter) to fit my cabinet. Keep in mind that as your bio-load changes (new fish, growing fish, feeding schedule) your cleaning schedule may need to be adjusted as well. Pot Scrubbers For Bio Media
