Review: Simply the best filter on the market. - The Fluval FX line of filters is a real work horse which rarely goes wrong if you do the upkeep on it. I use one on the tank I have my turtle in, and it keeps the water crystal clear, even though the old boy digs a lot an tries everything he can to cloud up the water. If I take it off line for cleaning (which is a breeze) or maintenance, it will get the water clear again within an hour if the turtle has been very active while it was off, and much sooner if he wasn't moving around too much. He's a very active turtle, and a very messy eater, but he's neither active enough nor messy enough to overwhelm the FX-6. I also use an FX-6 on my hillstream tank which requires a lot of flow. It pushes the water through at a very good clip so that the stream has a pretty good current for my hillstream loaches and for my rainbow shiners to run in when they're getting ready to spawn. I have the FX-4 on a 20 gallon tank which is probably just a bit overpopulated, But again, it is a good enough filter that it keeps the water quite clean. With surface skimmers on my tanks, even the water's surface is clear. To clean the filter media, all you need to do is lift the media baskets out, the use the filter's bucket to clean the sponges and reusable media, replace the media which has broken down too much to be reused, or which uses chemical treating, then either empty the old water out and replace it with fresh clean, or keep the old water if it's not too bad (it is almost always too bad). The reason you clean the media in the water the filter bucket has in it is so that you don't loose any of the beneficial bacteria which is growing in it. The FX series of filters have variable flow valves, which is a nice feature, though many filters have that. If you close the valves before opening the lid of the filter, you don't have to worry about draining the hoses, and they will be good to go when you turn the filter back on and open the valves. No priming needed. Everything in this filter is easily repairable if something goes wrong. If something happens which wears out the impeller, it's very easy to take the old impeller out, and drop a new one in. It's also easy to replace all the O-rings when they get old and start to loose their ability to seal the unit. If you're unlucky, you might need to do that once a year, but it's more likely that you'll just need put new lubricant on them. I am mechanically challenged, so if I find it easy to take care of, I'm sure just about anyone will be able to do it. I have had problems with several of the other big brands of filter makers, but I have never had a Fluval FX series filter go south on me. I recommend them to anyone who wants to keep their fish's environment clean and healthy. If I ever start another tank, I'll definitely be buying another Fluval FX.
Review: Très bon filtre externe - Très bon filtre, utilisé pour 2 tortues d'eau, le bruit est résonnable, l'eau reste clair et très propre, le débit est correcte. Le montage est vraiment facile, tout est expliquer en français et detailler avec des illustrations. Pour le nettoyage, rien de plus simple, on peut brancher un tuyau sur la sortie vidange pour vider le contenu et il peut se remplir avec l'eau de l'aquarium, franchement c'est super pratique. La pompe, toute les 12h chasse l'air contenu dans la pompe, tout est automatique, même l'amorçage ! On le branche et ça démarre. Pour l'instant aucune fuite, tout fonctionne très bien , livrer avec des joints en supplément. C'est peut être un peut cher mais côté pratique et gain de temps et performance, je ne regrette rien.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is the longevity of the FX6 compared to other filters people have owned? (primarily Eheim). I will be using it in a turtle tank if that matters...**
A: I've been using the Fluval FX5 on my 100 gallon red eared slider turtle tank for about 12 years now. It's worked flawlessly over the years. I'm about to replace it with the FX6 due to various things starting to get worn out. So yes it does have pretty good longevity.

**Q: I have a 40 gallon tank for two read eared sliders. Would this filter be too strong or just right for my tank? Also, does it come with the hosing?**
A: I've got it on a 55 gallon and it works fine! With turtles you want at least 3 times the filtration so 40 gallons of water needs a 160 gallon rated filter or stronger. Also it is recommended that you house your turtles separately as they are going to grow to be 8-12 inches long and are solitary in the wild! I recommend you join red ear slider turtle owners resto group on Facebook and they will have all the information on best diet best filters and best tanks for your turtles!

**Q: I am sitting up a 75 gallons tank in my office i don't want to clean it a lot what fluval pump would you suggest**
A: Frequent water changes aren’t a necessity if you set your tank up accordingly. Look up low maintenance/ self sustaining and see for yourself. I have a 75, 50, 29, and two turtle tanks, turtles being the the only ones I regularly change water. No deaths, plants are healthy(NO SUPPLEMENTS OR CO2 added), water is clear, and I’m using HOB filters with only ceramic balls. There’s guides for what you want online that will help far more than these comments.

**Q: Fluval fx4 or fluval 406? 80 gallon planted tank. what do you think?**
A: If you have a heavy stock of fish I would aim for 7-10x total gallons of filtration. 
Currently running 2 fx6 on my 260 gallon which is about 7x flow rate and I’m debating adding a third to get closer to that 10x mark.

These provide great bio filtration and if you set them up right with some tweaking can agitate the surface of the water which increases oxygen in the water and allows more life to exist in your aquarium.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfetto! Ero dubbioso ma gran acquisto e niente più problemi di filtro
*by C***I on 6 February 2021*

Fluval FX6 ha risolto i mimei problemi di poca dimensione del filtro nell'acquario. Acqua pulita, cristallina e niente più alghe. Le vecchie stanno sparendo e il fondo non ha più residui. Potente e silenzioso. Comodamente riposto nei vani di un Juwel Rio 450 (o Vision 450). Comodo da pulire. Qualche adattamento da fare nella parte superiore dell'acquario (lo ho preferito a fare fori nel vetro). I tubi possono (devono) essere migliorati come estetica e qualità del tubo da parte del produttore, sono grandi, ma gli attacchi rapidi sono ottimi e dotati dei rubinetti di chiusura e apertura. Nulla che dire ottimo investimento. La pulizia del filtro è facile, finalmente niente bagnato o stracci ovunque. Speriamo duri nel tempo.
