The Fluval FX6 High Performance Canister Filter delivers unparalleled filtration for freshwater and marine aquariums up to 400 gallons. Engineered to maintain the cleanest and clearest water, this super-capacity canister filter is packed with innovative features designed to improve performance and simplify operation. The Fluval FX6 comes equipped with a powerful 925 gph pump that operates at a very modest 43 watts of electricity. This translates to 563 gph of multi-stage filtration, creating a cleaner and healthier aquarium. Incoming water passes through a telescopic strainer to prevent clogging, and filtered water is returned to the aquarium via a dual, multi-directional output nozzle. To ensure optimal performance, the FX6 features patented Smart Pump Technology (SPT). This self-regulating system constantly monitors the pump, measuring impeller force and speed to maintain powerful output, super-quiet operation, and energy-efficiency. Enhanced motor technology also allows the new and improved FX6 to outperform the earlier FX5, while consuming 10% less energy. The included filter media is housed in 3 stackable baskets that can be fully customized to suit the needs of your aquarium. The baskets are engineered to eliminate bypass, and each is lined with a foam insert for effective mechanical pre-filtering. Instant-release t-handles allow easy lifting and separation of the media baskets for easy maintenance and media changes. The included Click-Fit AquaStop valves allow quick setup and leak-free maintenance. A self-starting feature activates the FX6 without the need for priming, and purges unwanted air that may have entered the filter during setup. Every 12 hours, the pump shuts down automatically and the air evacuation process is repeated to ensure uncompromising performance. The FX6 also includes two manual maintenance dials located on its lid. These helpful indicators can be used to mark the last time maintenance or media changes were performed.
