Fluval FX6 Canister Filter (1500L, 3500L/h)

PF150 - Special order (usually arrives within a week)

The FX6 circulates and filters 3500L of water an hour designed to suit aquariums up to 1500L.  It has an astounding filter media capacity that produces the cleanest and healthiest results ever.

Filtering media can easily be placed in a removable stack of media baskets which is at the heart of Fluval’s multi-stage filtration. The baskets are precision-engineered to eliminate water by-pass, making filtration more efficient.

The baskets can hold a total of 5.9 litres of media and can be stacked in the precise combination of layers that will work best for your aquarium. Each one is lined with a foam insert for effective mechanical pre-filtering. Instant-release T-handles let you lift and separate the baskets quickly and easily, making routine maintenance simpler.


Water Change Feature

No need to carry buckets of water. Just attach an appropriate hose to the output and the Smart PumpTM Technology will do the rest.

POWERED FX GRAVEL VAC (sold separately)


Intelligent pump

Like FX5, Fluval FX6 also features Smart Pump Technology, an advanced technological feature that continually monitors the pump, constantly measuring impeller speed and force to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency. It also manages the filter’s self-starting feature and evacuates air that may enter or build up within the filtration system. On a 12-hour cycle, the pump will pause and allow trapped air to escape, ensuring the best filtration efficiency at all times..
