The Fluval FX4 External Filter is the small sibling of the massively popular Fluval FX6. The smaller, but, equally impressive fx4 is rated for fish tanks up to an impressive 1000 litres. Though most would halve that for heavily stocked tanks.
Just as the Fx6 it is looks like an character from star wars. It seems however to use the force with a huge 2650 Litres per hour output.
Fluval FX4 Filter Features
Just as with the bigger Fx6, the Fx4 has brains as well as Brawn. To prime it just fill it and turn it on, the micro chip controlled pump will do the rest. The pump is also adjusted to optimal output by the micro chip controller as it realizes the filter is resisting due to partial clogging. With no interaction from the owner, the Fluval FX4 Filter bleeds itself of air twice a day.
Is The Fluval FX4 External Filter Value for money?
Yes it is there are cheaper filters available but, the Fluval FX4 External Filter is better quality, cheap to run at only 30w. Pads and media for the Fluval FX4 is fairly priced and lasts a good amount of time before it requires replacing. All that is needed is supplied. For Specs see more information.

Should I buy one.
Yes why not, we do not sell as many Fluval FX4 External Filters as the Fx6 but they do trickle out possibly because many people opt for the bigger FX6, being that the price difference is not to great. The Fx4 does however have it’s place and the price for a feature packed external filter is in our opinion very reasonable.
