The Fluval FX6 External Filter might well look like R2D2‘s latest fling but no it is indeed a filter. It might be odd to look at but people love these and they fly of the shelf. Bomb proof too, they never come back! Whilst the Fluval FX6 won’t win a beauty contest in comes does come packed with tech. It’s cheap to run at only 41 watts. It also bleeds trapped air twice a day. Brains as well, it features a built in micro chip to keep it at it’s peak. Priming, just add water and turn it on.
Fluval FX6 Filter also has the power.
Yes, that too, output is a whopping 3500lph no slouch there then. In some instances, the output of the filter is too high. However, using the Aquastop valves it’s easy to set the flow to suit the specific requirement of any aquarium. The high output comes into its own for tanks containing large cichlids or messy predatory fish species. We think that FX6 must be the cheapest and easiest way to filter large aquariums. Saying that though the filter is not made from cheap materials quite the opposite the plastics are quality and all for a great price. Is It Good Value? Yes, we think so the Fluval FX6 comes with all you need and for to filter large even mucky fish tanks for a very low price. see more info.
