  • AQUA ONE EXTERNAL FILTER[NO MORE FLUVAL FX6]
    I have used Fluval FX6 filters for years but now I am getting to the point where I think they are more trouble than they are worth.
    Aqua One Aquis are the future for me and I want to share my experience using these filters.
    thanks for stopping by guys

    I run the oase biomaster thermo 600 in my tank. Not as cheap as the aquaone but as serviceable, as quiet and has the added bonus of a built in heater. Id definitely have a look at the aquis at that price range though

    I've got a FX4 on my flowerhorn tank. No complaints about the filter.
    I have converted it to biohome ultimate, the same as the pond guru suggested.
    I'm not really into canisters though. I prefer sump's. Mainly because of the extra water volume and flexibility.

Just purchased a 7ft tank scaped the bottom with black gloss tiles just worked on the wood Scape, need plants, light, filters etc but getting there. I'm still undecided FX6 pricey but like I say the more you maintain your filter the priming system or trapped air issues occur. The fx6 self start up and gets rid of trapped air. I think the FX6 must win on that basis.
