I purchased two of these filters. One worked as soon as I plugged it in, the other won't work at all. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm hoping that it is a setting set wrong. The LFS is about 40 miles (40 miles = 64.4 km) (40 miles (40 miles = 64.4 km) = 64.4 km (64.4 km = 40 mi)) each...

I'm using a Taam Rio 10HF as the return pump for my Aqua Medic T1000 diffuser. I can't keep it running. It clogs with plant waste very quickly. Does anyone have a suggestion for keep the junk out of this pump? I've tried siting the pump in a plastic container and using a filter bag as a screen...

Good idea. Your logic is sound. If you have room for the hang on the tank filters. Take a look at the Fluval C4, I'm really like the looks of it. After reading your post I'd consider doing the same thing. I was uncomfortable with all my eggs in one basket which is why I bought the second one...

Using two FX6 on my 180. I've ended up with 2 F (2 °F = -16.7 °C)X6s on my 180. Tried to go cheaper with a 406 as backup. Way to small for the job. The FX6 is a monster. The 406 beside it looked like a joke. The FX6 is definately in a class by it's self. Good luck.

Great Filter! The FX6 is a great filter for a large tank, I have two and am very happy with then. The flow rate is high, not as high as advertised but high enough to create some serious current. The only complaint I have regards the weight. It is a monster and carrying it to the kitchen to...

Please recommend a sponge filter suitable for use as a prefilter for both the Fluval 406 and FX6. Thank you.

I bought 2 Marineland 29 gal starter kits to use as nursery tanks. Each came with a Penguin 200 filter. The plan was to use a sponge from a sponge filter as a pre-filter to keep the fry out. The intake tube is rectangular and the sponges I bought won't fit. Can anyone please suggest a sponge...

In service = Hydor 320 water pump supplying the AquaMed 1000 CO2 reactor. In the Box = Fluval 406 UV Clarifier Questions 1. Can the UV be placed in the Fluval return? The concern is Fluval's insistence that...

Found info. Advantage 15 Watt | aquaultraviolet.com http://www.aquaultraviolet.com/sites/default/files/brochures/UV%20Charts%20Salt%20and%20Fresh%20Water.pdf I've sent tech support a question about pump recommendations. Should get an idea from their response. For the difference in price...

Thanks for your response. I appreciate your input. The specs on the 12x show a flow rate of 1900 gph. The filter spec is 340gph. Will those work together or should I get a standalone water pump? Naturally, I hoped to hold the cost down but function is more important than the price, The AQUA...

I'm tentatively planning to add a Cascade 1500 as a backup to the FX6 on my 180g (180 g = 6.36 oz) and install a 15w Aqua UV Sterilizer in line with the return. Does this sound reasonable? Will the flow rate be adequate? All input will be appreciated..Thank you
