Amazon Customer: It’s a definite workhorse. My water is super crystal clear and it runs very quiet. The set up was easy. I’m very happy with my purchase. Now I’m waiting for the right size UVC light to come out for this.

Manfred S.: Sensationeller Filter.
Fluval hat hier einen richtig guten Filter gebaut. Er verbindet herkömmliche Topffiltertechnologie mit neuen Schnell Kupplungen und Selbstentlüftung.
Clever ist die unten am Topf angebrachte Pumpe. So kann sich nie Luft in ihr sammeln.
Der Filter ist rund (Applaus dafür!)
Andere Hersteller haben häufig rechteckige Filter Köpfe mit Klammern. Hier gibt es eine gut sichtbare und zugängliche Dichtung in rund mit Klappschrauben. Das nenne ich dicht (Eheim und Oase können das nicht mehr)
Hier gibt es keinen nervigen Vorfilter, der spätestens nach 7 Tagen so dicht war, dass man ihn reinigen muss.
Hier wird auf riesiges Filter Volumen gesetzt. Perfekt für eine große Bakterienkultur.
Einige Rezensionen schreiben, der Filter sei laut. Im Vergleich zum Oase 600er ist er leiser, jetzt nach ca. 6 Monaten Erprobung hört man bei geschlossenen Schranktüren nichts mehr.
Mein Wasser ist absolut klar.
Ich liebe diesen Filter.
Definitiv der Beste auf dem Markt.
Hier können sich Oase, Jbl, Eheim und Aquaeel eine riesen Scheibe von abschneiden.

Christopher May: Éste canister combinado con la flauta o tubo de dispersión fluval da un flujo de agua suave y efectivo para los peces discos nomás instalarlo mejoró su salud y comenzaron a hacer puestas, recomiendo mucho su uso, un poco más caro que las opciones de la competencia pero parece valer la pena ,llegado el mes de uso hare un mantenimiento a ver qué tanta sociedad atrapa. No le doy las cinco estrellas porque para lo que es si es un poco caro.

Actualizacion: Casi no guarda suciedad en sus esponjas, increible, eso reduce el mantenimiento.

Sean Ferguson: It is not NEARLY as complicated as it looks to set up it's just as easy as any other you'll be a master just watch a youtube video.

*MAKE SURE TO PRIME IT AND LET IT RUN TO BUILD GOOD BACTERIA BEFORE UPGRADING COMPLETELY!*
KEEP YOUR OTHER FILTRATION GOING AND ADD FLUVAL TO IT.

3 weeks later you can remove old filtration and you should have enough bio media built up in your Fluval.

Quiet as a mouse, clean it once every 2 months - takes 30 minutes. I used to use 3 of the standard 38$ rated for 75 gal. waterfall tetra filters in my 75-gallon, replacing the carbon and filters all the time..which easily = 15$ min. a month for 4 of them + had to do a cleaning twice a month to unclog them = 2-4 hours a month of my time...

and they don't upkeep even close to how this Fluval does.. my tank is pristine now and my fish love it!
in less than a year I can promise this Fluval pays for itself in the number of filters you'd buy using a cheaper filter.

highly suggest buying the Extendo Fluval bar that attaches to its output of it for 30$ it is way worth it to distribute the output across the entire tank, but not needed.

This Fluval can easily take on...

Neville SurrellNeville Surrell: It is the strangest of things, Before continuing, the retailer has absolutely no responsibility for the way in which , this so called “ flagship “!of Fluvals range.

I have and indeed continue to trust this brand very much , from its bug bites range all the way up to this widely regarded pinnacle of Fluvals high end engineering.

The above photos will hopefully demonstrate why I am beyond askance at how this particular FX6 made it past quality control.

As already stated, this is in no way the retailer’s fault because Fluval Filters come security sealed.

I have sent the above photos to Fluval and they sent me a letter NK in response to customer services that , regrettably seems an unresponsive re direct.

That aside, This Filter Put ko can quite correctly infer that this is indeed the Daddy of all Canister Filters.

So anyhow, you are going to be paying , at the very least £250 or $300!…

Its still a no brainer, this canister filter exchanges my aquarium, approximately, 5 the mes an hour.

Don’t be fooled by what it says on the box because that filtration rate is under optimconditions and of course sans any...

Melanie: Lange habe ich überlegt ob ich mir diesen Filter kaufen soll. Ich hatte bis dato einen Eheim Filter an meinem 420L Südamerika Becken laufen. Doch zufrieden war ich mit diesem nie. Das Wasser war nie ganz klar, immer fanden sich tausende kleine Schwebteilchen im Becken. Das Reinigungsintervall des Eheim Filters war extrem kurz. Ständig setzten sich die Schläuche zu, so dass diese sehr oft demontiert werden mussten, um diese dann mit einer Bürste durch zu putzen damit der Durchfluss zumindest wieder ansatzweise passt. Ganz zu schweigen von den Problemen den Filter dann jedes Mal wieder zum Laufen zu bekommen. Trotz Ansaugstutzen, an diesen Mann sich erstmal die Finger Blutig gedrückt hat Minuten lang bis sich da mal irgendwas getan hat. Furchtbar. Irgendwann hatte ich die Nase voll und entschied mich, es mit diesem Filter zu probieren.
Und was soll ich sagen, ich bin absolut begeistert. Meine Erwartungen und Hoffnungen wurde mehr als erfüllt.
Aber erstmal von Anfang an: Das Paket kam bei mir sehr schnell und gut verpackt an (hier ein großes Lob an Amazon). Nach dem Öffnen der Verpackung stellte sich schnell heraus, dass alles benötigte Zubehör dabei ist und die...
