Advanced Smart Pump Technology
The Fluval FX6 features intelligent Smart Pump technology designed to simplify installation and maintain consistent filtration performance.
The automatic self-priming system removes the need for manual siphoning during initial setup, while the pump periodically pauses to release trapped air from the filtration system.
This helps maintain efficient water circulation and reliable filtration operation.
Powerful Multi-Stage Filtration
The FX6 uses a multi-stage filtration system to provide comprehensive aquarium water treatment.
Mechanical Filtration: Foam filter media helps capture dirt, debris and suspended waste particles.
Biological Filtration: Biological media provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonise, supporting the breakdown of harmful ammonia and nitrite.
Chemical Filtration: Activated carbon helps reduce selected dissolved impurities, unwanted odours and discolouration.
New filter media is supplied with this used unit, allowing the filtration system to be set up with fresh media.
