Anyone using the Fluval FX6?

 

[Margin55]

I don't have a Fluval FX6 but i do have a Fluval 405 with a 72 gal bowfront. I had no complaints except for cleaning every 2 weeks. I don't want nitrate spikes. I just bot a sump and i believe it is for the better. For the money you will pay, i am sure you could get a nice sump/refugium setup. How large is your tank?

Canister filters are 10 years ago... For the money a sump is the way to go

I use the FX6, nitrates are always an issue, even though I rinse the filters once every week or two and change my Chemipure every two months. Going to upgrade to a sump soon.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I am very interested in this filter.

Can you tell me how big the media baskets are?

I am wondering if they would fit a 8" x 8" piece of CerMedia...

Thanks!

You could always break the cermedia up to make it fit in the baskets, it won't change the effectiveness of it

I thought that it did

I thought that the 8" x 8" x 4" piece was better because of its 4" thickness...

Something about the thicker the piece... a different kind of bacteria live in the middle or something...?
