Fluval FX6 Canister Filter | Unboxing, Setup & Review

Screw fluval...400$ for a plastic container filter? What a joke! You can buy 3 contending filters for the same price. . ridiculous..BUY 2 SUNSUN 3000 INSTEAD

Quick question......i just purchased an FX6. I notice none of the O Rings seem greased. Is that normal out of the box. Should I grease them? Thanks and great channel.

Chemipureblue is the tits

I thought chemipure blue is for reef tanks?

Can use the fx6 with a 125 gallons rimless fish thank?

Just purchased the FX6. Do I set it up on my established tank before, during, or after my weekly water change? Or does it matter?

Just grabbed one on a Black Friday sale from PetSmart for 250 !!!! Today !

Nice review and editing. Does the FX6 have an adjustment so the discharge can be slowed down? I would use it in a turtle set up and would not want a tremendous amount of water agitation. Thanks

Hey Guys! For the new 210g I got the FX4 since it was rated for 250 gallons. Just now realizing that might have been wishful thinking on my end. Do you guys think I'd be able to properly filtrate the tank with two Emperor 400 HOB filters in addition to the FX4? I have established ones ready to move and each are rated for 75-80 gallons I believe.

Also, did you notice a lack of flow coming from FX filters? It's almost like they're not even turned on haha. I can tell water is going through the output but it's not causing any bubbles of any kind. Granted, the FX4 output holes are a lot smaller than the FX6's. Thanks!

i have 3 fx6 filters on my 40 gallon. my fish keep dying because they get destroyed by the flow of them but at least my water is crystal clear 😎. cannister filters ftw! eat shit poor people who use anything other than a cannister. Get on my level 😎

do you think 1 would be aenough for a 10', 300 gallon aquarium? got about 10 blood parrots, 3 oscars, 6 silver dollars and a few other cichlids

What's the size gallon

Also I buy the fx6 the bio filter media what else should I

Do you think it would work for saltwater too

I have a plumbed tank but plumbed a fx6 to it instead of using the sump.

Is an fx6 too much for my 65 gallon tank

Shouldn't one of these be enough for this size aquarium?

Thanks for the video, what sand are you using? Also, what did you use for the black background?

After this video I realized that my fx6 is completely vrong installed.
My bio media is on top and mechanical on the bottom 🤦🏽🤦🏽 thank you

Hi I got the Fx4. How often do you recommend cleaning a 40gallon turtle tank and do you have a video in cleaning the filter and how to unhook hoses without getting water all over.

For Ponds....no more jumping in pond to clean in pond filter or need to siphon for water draining!! and can feed a Bog filter!
Dry feet! + No scaring fish + no pump for bog filter

Would you recommend to open output flow valve full blast on a 125 gallon peacock tank? Or have at a sweet spot for flow?

I have a 92 gallon tank with big oscars. I use Eheim 600+ 4 professional but my water is not crystal clear. I mean its not dirty but far off crystal clear. Iam thinking if such a filter is sufficient for such big fish. Would switching to fx6 solve my problem?

Is an fx6 too much for a 100 gallon?

We’re you able to fit the whole gallon of MarinePure Spheres inside the FX6 trays?

Thanks for all the info, I have a question maybe you know what happened, my fx6 every day expesl littles bubbles , at the end make a strong noice ant expulse a lot of big bubbles , the noise y strong and when the family are slipping boder a lot

Do you use a uv light with your FX6 or on any of your tank setups? Thanks

too bad they don't make also a inline CO2 diffuser and a in line heater for the FX4-FX6. FLUVAL WAKE-UP!!! I wrote them to inquire why not ...maybe if enough of us do they will!!!!

On your 180 tank, how often do you need to clean the FX6 ? Looking to use it on a 90 gallon yet to be purchased. Thanks for sharing and any reply.

Just a bed thing is consumption of energy

i love your video

I added a second FX6 to my 180 gallon. Big mistake. Temperature rises 1 degree per day. One is the best way to go with an FX6 on a 180.

Would I need one or two FX6 for a 210 gallon?

Can you use this canister filter for a salt water fish tank

Just ordered one for my 75 gallon I’ll be picking up Saturday can’t wait

Are they noisy ? I have been told they are

Been running 2 FX6’s on my 125 S.American cichlid tank for two years now and I love em. Between both filters the water clarity is phenomenal and maintenance on em is pretty easy, and it takes about an hour to clean one filter. Each filter gets cleaned out every other month and I break it up to one filter cleaning a month as to not throw off the beneficial bacteria too much. Between that and weekly 30% water changes the maintenance on the tank is like a half hour a week and then one hour a month. That’s less time than mowing my lawn weekly, and easier too!!!

Beautiful tank. What size is that tank?

Are they quiet? One of my 6ft tanks are in a bedroom 😁

Just picked up 3 nearly new FX6's from a fellow hobbyist who was getting out of the hobby. I got a steal...650 for all 3!

Is it worth it or needed getting this filter for a 60 gallon tank? I currently have the fluval 307.

doesn't chemical filtration come before biological in the circuit (biological being last)?

How far would you say the intake needs to be from the sand?

What do you think about the Biomaster Thermo filter? How does it compare to the Fluval FX6 in your opinion_ pros and cons?

Awsome video bro i also had a FX6, Do you rather chemipure than Purigen?

I love the top on your big tank did you custom make that? Is it plexiglass?

How many litres of biohome ultramax we can fill up in fx6?

the tank looks amazing !!

Thank you so much.
I enjoy watching your video's with you and your brothers. I've just got yesterday a fx6 first time. Been lookin how to fill it. Thanks for the tips.
