I have 2 fluval FX6 canisters on my 125 and I will never go back to a sump!

[josephbailey]

Can be used for vacuuming substrate without siphoning water out.

Was using a Tidal 55 on a 35 Gal reef tank it was alright…
Purchased the Fluval 207 and I am very happy. Silent, good adjustable flow and my water hasn’t been so clear. Oh… and it was cheap too.

P.S. Aesthetics are important since it is visible in the living room.

I ran a Fluval canister filter paired with two large power heads on my 55g FOWLR tank for 25 yrs.

I now use that same filter on a small nano cube with the return house directly in the display. My back chambers only have bio balls. The water in that tank is crystal clear all the time. Plus it’s easy to clean.

I was contemplating buying a small canister filter for water polishing on my larger tank and maybe filling it half marine pure bio balls and 1/2 floss.

As long as you clean them regularly. What usually happens is people get lazy and then things go south fast.

[masheemashedpotatoes]

My first ever FOWLR tank (many years ago) ran on two Fluvals with mixed results. Work well as long as maintained often!

I have used my whale 350 as a polisher and carbon reactor many times. I like to do it about every six months. I also do a big water change, vacuum the sand and blow the rocks when the whale is on. This saves my reef mats roll and eliminates odors like no other.

Then what would be a good canister filter for FLUVAL evo 13.5 saltwater tank? Is for additional filtration...

[johns]

I’m thinking of using my FX6 on my soon to be 75 gallon reef tank as my main filtration. What do you think? And you said no fine polishing pads in it? Why not?

[Botzz]

What’s the best nano canister filter for a 10 gallon nano reef ?

[markoeker]

[HeriDeru]

[thegolflife]

Who makes the best canister filter that we could use for reefing?

[NinjaSushi]

I have had two canister filters for years and they are a pain in the ass to clean. They are heavy and bulky. If you do go the cansiter route, I recommend taking some polishing floss and rubber-banding it around the intake of the canister filter to help keep it cleaner.

[jeffwirth]

Always heard they were nitrate factories, can't get my nitrates over 5ppm :D

[Foodie_kitchen_]

[ravagedcore]
