Featuring advanced microchip technology, it self-monitors and optimizes pump performance while auto-evacuating trapped air every 12 hours. Its user-friendly design allows easy setup and maintenance with removable media baskets and hassle-free water changes, making it the ultimate filtration solution for serious aquarium enthusiasts. ## Description From the manufacturer New Fluval FX Series External Filters High performance external filters Fluval's FX series are high-performance and efficient external filters thanks to their SMART PUMP technology that ensures optimal performance by expelling accumulated air every 12 hours and monitoring rotor operation and water outlet. This Italian made external filter has up to 6 filtration stages that ensure crystal clear water in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. European ingenuity and innovation have fueled the next generation of FX External Filters, which feature SMART PUMP's patented optimizing performance technology. In addition to intricate multi-stage filtration, the FX Series incorporates a water change system and tray design within each basket to offer greater filter media capacity. As always, you can expect from the FX Series the legendary blend of power and efficiency that allows you to spend more time enjoying the aquarium, and less time performing maintenance. Known for its strength and durability, the FX6 offers a water output of 3,500 LPH in aquariums up to 1,500 liters. That kind of power sweeps the tank better and faster, by collecting a greater amount of debris, which ultimately translates to a lower maintenance frequency. Based on the platform of the powerful FX the FX4 and now the NEW FX2, a "little brother" of the more compact FX4 was created. Capable of giving a water output of 1800 LPH, the FX2 is an ideal choice for those with aquariums up to 750 liters. Versatility, Convenience and Efficiency Aquastop valves They feature click fit technology for quick assembly and spill-proof maintenance. Auto Start Just add water and plug in. Fluval's Smart Pump technology will do the rest. Patented Smart Pump Technology employs an electronic circuit to continuously control the pump. The speed and strength of the rotor are constantly measured to ensure the water output efficiency and the energy used. Smart Pump also controls the auto-start function of the FX series and is critical in evacuating air that may accumulate in the system. Once every 12 hours, the filter will pause and allow trapped air to escape, always maintaining maximum filtration efficiency. This Fluval technology allows the filter to deliver optimal filter performance. Clog Free Absorption Grid This telescopic absorption grid is high strength, anti-jamming and ensures continuous flow. Multi Directional Outlet Nozzles Dual outlet nozzles can be adjusted to create specific water flows. Multi-stage filtration The latest generation FX incorporates 2 NEW ADDITIONAL TRAYS for even greater filtration capacity and flexibility. The FX2 and FX4 has up to 5 stages of filtration and the FX6 with up to 6 stages, ensuring optimal water quality. Filter media baskets are the heart of Fluval's multi-stage filtration. Such baskets that have a very large capacity contain a large volume of filtration media, and also allow you to place the filtration media with a customized combination of the layers that work best for your aquarium. These have instant lift T handles which allow you to lift and separate each basket in an easy and very fast way, making the usual maintenance easier. Purge valve with drain hose The FX4 and FX6 filters feature a multi-functional drain valve at their base, making it possible to empty the filter and make water changes without interruptions by draining and refilling the water directly from the filter (and all this without altering the decor or inhabitants of the aquarium). Review: Powerful, quiet, and built like a tank—serious filtration for large setups with zero faff or fuss. - Installed this on a 600L setup and it’s been flawless. Prime it once, plug it in, and it just runs. Flow rate’s strong without blasting the fish, and the multi-stage filtration keeps water crystal clear. Handles heavy bioloads—ideal for cichlids, goldfish, or planted tanks with messy eaters. Maintenance is straightforward: shut-off valves, easy-lift baskets, and a purge valve for draining without lifting the whole unit. I’ve cleaned it out monthly and it’s never clogged or dropped flow. ⚙️ Specs & Features Flow Rate: 3500 L/h Tank Size: Up to 1500L Media Baskets: 6-stage filtration (mechanical, chemical, biological) Footprint: Compact for the power—fits under most cabinets Smart Pump Tech: Auto air purge every 24h to maintain efficiency Drain Valve: Bottom purge for easy water changes 🔇 Noise & Build Runs near silent—just a low hum if you’re close. No vibration, no rattle. Build quality’s solid—thick casing, tight seals, and heavy-duty clamps. Feels like pro-grade kit, not hobby gear. 👍 Pros ✅ Massive flow—handles big tanks with ease ✅ Multi-stage filtration—crystal clear results ✅ Easy maintenance—quick access and purge valve ✅ Quiet operation—ideal for living spaces ✅ Durable build—long-term reliability 👎 Cons ❌ Pricey—but worth it for serious setups ❌ Large footprint—check cabinet space ❌ No media included—buy your own to customise ❌ Heavy when full—drain before moving 🧭 Personal Verdict If you’re running a big tank and want gear that just works, the FX6 is a beast. I’ve used it for months—no leaks, no noise, no stress. It’s not cheap, but it’s built to last and keeps water spotless. Ideal for anyone who wants pro-level filtration without babysitting the kit.

If you want to fully cycle your tank you need a filter that can fit enough bio media. Eg 1kg of media per 100l to gain a full cycle ie 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 0 or low nitrate. You can get 2.75k of bio media in the f16 so good for a 250l tank. **Q: Can I plum this in to my already set up inlet and outlet of my fluval 190 tank?, The fluval 305 external filter I have is leaking.** A: No,the inlet and outlet are a different circumference **Q: How long doesit take to deliver** A: I placed my order and it said a week but the next day it came with Royal Mail **Q: Will this fit under the Juwel Trigon 350? We have the older cabinet with the two doors but a panel between.** A: Yes it does fit I have my under the cabinet of trigon 350 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, quiet, and built like a tank—serious filtration for large setups with zero faff or fuss. *by G***E on 21 September 2025* Installed this on a 600L setup and it’s been flawless.

Was set up and installed within 15 minutes! The usual fantastic fluval quality this was bought as an upgrade from the fluval 305 and the fx4. Only had it running 24 hours and can already see a huge difference in my water quality. Great flow rate and super quiet it's in my main sitting room and even with the television off you can't hear it. It comes with all the media you need to get up and running which is an added bonus! Iv took the new out and put my old in my previous filters just to stop a mini cycle happening but will slowly add the new over time. It's worth every penny in my opinion I have a community tropical set up I.e mollies, platys, neons and clown loaches and all of them love the flow off the filter. Very powerful bit of kit a must for anyone with a large tank ☺️ ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval FX6 High Performance Aquarium Filter, Canister Filter for Aquariums up to 400 Gal. - Seachem Matrix, 4 L / 1 gal. - Seachem Indoor Purigen Organic Filtration Resin - Fresh and Saltwater 100 ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/50376549-fluval-fx6-high-performance-canister-filter](https://www.desertcart.at/products/50376549-fluval-fx6-high-performance-canister-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
