Fluval FX2 High Performance Canister Aquarium Filter - Multi-Stage Filtration, Built-in Powered Water Change System, and Basket-in-Basket Tray Design

Great filter, powerful, quiet, works great. Keeps my 75gal tank very clean. Fairly easy to clean

Absolutely! Hands down the best canister filter out there. If you don't have one and you're waiting, stop, go get it now, you won't regret it. There is no noise. It's easy to install. The flow rate is superb. Water clarity is spectacular. You couldn't ask for anything better. Go get you one! What are you waiting for?

I have two turtles and their tank was always so dirty! I have gone through 6 HOB filters and two aesthetic turtle filters (ones that look like rocks) and every filter I tried needed to be fully taken apart and deep cleaned every few weeks! Nothing could keep my tank clean until I got this filter! I waited a few months to write this review just to make sure it held up and it is still absolutely amazing! I was nervous because I have never had a canister filter before and I didn’t know how to use it but it’s actually incredibly easy. It’s effective, super quiet, and total game changer for my turtles! Now I’m thinking of switching all of my tanks to this filter! It saves me so much time and it saves money because I don’t need to constantly buy replacements for the HOB filters anymore!

Filter is absolute trash!!! Pump burnt out after only a year use. Spent over $100 re-plumbing my tank to except it’s unorthodox sized tubing. Tubing is cheap quality and will crack overtime so be sure to invest in better quality hose. Flow rate was subpar and only got worse after a couple months. Replacement pumps cost $85 to replace.. do yourself a favor and checkout the amount of replacement pumps sold in the last month. DONT SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!!!

Very quiet

Best canister filter ive ever dealt with. Very impressed by its design, quiet operation, effectiness and power. The feature allowing air build-up to be periodically evacuated is great!

I have a painted turtle who makes a giant mess of her aquarium over time. I am lazy and want to clean the tank as infrequently as possible, so I get large canister filters like this one that I can leave for a month or more before needing to clean it. My previous filter was a Fluval and lasted quite a while, so I decided to stick with that brand. This unit is quite an upgrade over my last Fluval which was a "lower tier" unit. So far I have been mostly happy with the unit overall. It is quiet and has really good throughput. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars, though, is because just like every other brand out there there is just so much breakable plastic and less than beefy construction, considering the price. Honestly, from my research, I don't think there is a canister filter out there that I would rate a 5 star. For the high price, the connections seem cheap, the hoses seem REALLY cheap, there are just so many ways that a filter like this could be better. Oh well, I won't complain TOO hard since it is doing a good job of filtering. One thing that did happen to me, though, is that the filter starting filling with air to the point it was blowing bubbles pretty much all of the time. The problem was that the joint where the flexible hose connected to the rigid tube of the input side was above water so air was getting in. I reconfigured things so that the hose / rigid pipe joint was under water and haven't had an air issue since. This should NOT be necessary, of course. If everything wasn't cheap friction-fit plastic but rather had substantial connections with hose clamps or some other method of connection, it wouldn't matter if your seams were above water. One last positive I will say is that the multi-directional return head is nice to keep the water well stirred up in the tank and avoid "dead zones" where crud can accumulate - they got that right.

Does a great job and No Humming, Buzzing, TV drowning sound. It was fairly easy to set up. The only negative we can see is the rather flimsy corrugated hoses. We plan on changing to more durable ones.

Excellent filtreur efficace et simple d’utilisation.

This is an excellent filter. I use it on a 300ltr tank. My water is crystal clear. It also turns off every 12 hours for 1 minute to get rid of any trapped air in the filter. It is definitely worth every penny. It's also very quiet and comes with pretty long pipes so you shouldn't have any trouble with it reaching.

Great size and functionality, using it for a 600 liter aquarium, doing g a great job.

Warning! This is an american filter, 120v not for europe. Have to use a converter. Maybe i got unlucky. The biomedia is bad and you get to little off it for the money. It's basically just a bucket with a pump and a hose and some baskets.

Der Fluval FX2 ist nach meiner Meinung der beste Außenfilter den es gibt. Du fragst dich "warum"? Dieser Filter ist perfekt für Aquarien mit einem etwas höheren Besatz (Lebendgebärende wie Platy, Molly & co). Der FX2 ist der kleinste Bruder der FX serie und passt somit auch in Unterschränke eines 240er Becken (120x40). Er ist der leiseste Filter den ich jemals hatte und das bei einer Power L/h die sich sehen lassen kann. Der Aufbau der Filterstufen ist einzigartig und super durchdacht. Die Vorfilerstufe weist die größte Oberfläche auf, was sehr sinnvoll ist und dann kommt bei mir Sera Siporax gestapelt. Gestapelt habe ich das nur, damit ich den Durchfluss so wenig wie möglich störe. Einzig die Anschlüsse sind etwas groß geraten, wenn mann 19/22 Schläuche gewohnt ist. Denn bei diesem Filter benötigst du einen Schlauch mit 25mm innen Durchmesser! Was aber mit einem Reduzierstück ( pro Anschluss also 2x) schnell gelöst ist. Wenn du die Durchfluss Power voll ausreizen möchtest, solltest du den Schlauch nicht reduzieren. Alles in allem greif zu so lange es den FX2 noch gibt
