Fluval FX6 High Performance Aquarium Filter, Canister Filter for Aquariums up to 400 Gal.

Fluval FX6 ha risolto i mimei problemi di poca dimensione del filtro nell'acquario. Acqua pulita, cristallina e niente più alghe. Le vecchie stanno sparendo e il fondo non ha più residui. Potente e silenzioso. Comodamente riposto nei vani di un Juwel Rio 450 (o Vision 450). Comodo da pulire. Qualche adattamento da fare nella parte superiore dell'acquario (lo ho preferito a fare fori nel vetro). I tubi possono (devono) essere migliorati come estetica e qualità del tubo da parte del produttore, sono grandi, ma gli attacchi rapidi sono ottimi e dotati dei rubinetti di chiusura e apertura. Nulla che dire ottimo investimento. La pulizia del filtro è facile, finalmente niente bagnato o stracci ovunque. Speriamo duri nel tempo.

uno de los mejores filtros externos que e comprado, a pesar de sus desventajas lo recomiendo bastante, el filtro esta pensado originalmente para peces pero yo uso un FX6 y otro FX4 para una piscina de 1600 litros con mas de 7 tortugas y deja el agua bastante limpia, cada cierto tiempo hay que hacer mantenimiento de los filtros pero porque las tortugas son mucho mas guarras que los peces; limpia bastante bien pero obviamente tiene sus desventajas: -se atasca el motor a veces con placas de tortuga o cesped artificial y hay q desmontarlo y volver a montarlo, esto no daña al filtro, solo hay q limpiarlo y ya. (supongo que con los peces no ocurrira lo mismo) - cuando se ensucia demasiado, el flujo de agua se reduce bastante y eso le resta potencia de filtrado, empieza a vibrar y a hacer mucho ruido. - su alfombrilla de carbon activo y las bolsitas (que se compra por separado) no limpia del todo el alga unicecular verde, al cabo de un tiempo acaba saliendo y reduce el flujo del filtro y sale mas despacio. dicho esto, os lo recomiendo.

Really disappointed that I have to give this one star after all the research and reviews I followed before finally ordering. Set it up correctly however it just did not perform, very poor flow and vibration felt on the unit. Tried and tried again but still the same so it got packed up and sent back for a refund. I’ve just been unlucky to receive a bad unit I guess. Already have seven other canister filters of different manufacturers and sizes running on my aquariums so I was not expecting this when investing in what is supposed to be a very reliable unit.

Well this arrived I didn't think it would look like a certain kind of hoover lol ,I greased all the o,rings don't forget to do it and propeller , I changed some media I put in some bio plastic pond media in with the media it came with I have plants no fish , it is realy quiet but I thought it would be more powerful for its size with my 4ft aquarium, thou it's powerful enough it's doing it's job il not know fully till fish are in it after a month of cycling the aquarium , the purge pipe outlet seems very fragile it's not tough plastic and you kind of get scared of putting it all together in case it snapsand instructions are to small to read but it's not rocket science to figure it out just look at the picture , I'm happy with it overall and I am surprised it realy quiet I hear the water more than the pump I would recommend to anyone else make sure you put it in another plastic container just in case of leaks or when you want to clean it out and have enough room at the side ,underneath or back of your tank to put it, the purge tap is a great idea of fluvals but a fast water change of a few jugs you don't need itbut great when you will ,I am glad I own iti only wish the pipes where better quality and not cheap plastic thou the purge pipe is better quality than the other pipes, a size down from the fx6 would also be suitable for a tank my size of 4ft but I'd rather this size to be right depending on the choice of fish and what they eat if you have guppies or tetras this is fantastic or even African rock chiclids mubuna,s choose this your choosing right fluval do great products thanks fluval they have been going long enough to know there reliable well my opinion I've not had problems touch wood,has thus for a while now no problems all is good its keep my tank very clean 4ft tank water is clear may need clean it in a month or two the idea of keeping it clean don't over feed feed only twice a day and hzvd cory Dora cat fish yo help clean it and dori g onions with roots in the water gor removing ammonia from water and see how they grow.

I know a lot of people said it’s an overkill for 55 gallon, but I still decided to have this one instead of FX4, because both of them take up the same space, it’s just FX is taller. Also, not that much more expensive. Before the purchase, I am worried that the water flow would be too powerful for the tank. It turns out it’s perfect as the water flow can be adjusted and reduced! I am so glad I made this choice! It makes my tank so clean, and it’s so quiet but powerful! Love it. Highly recommend
