Pleased to hear it

Im glad your getting it all sorted out, ive never had to deal with the company but it looks as if they are a good company with good support for customers.

Phone up whoever you bought it from and tell them the filter has arrived damaged and either fix it, send a replacement or your money back

Its a cracking filter mate, I think youll be very happy with it.

No need for a pre filter, already has one. No need for all that media as its just redundant, the stuff you get is good enough and plenty, plus if you are keeping a planted tank then the plants will do a lot of the filtering. The money you save on not buying extra stuff you don't need can be used...

There are lots of different options depending on your tank, i dont run a planted tank, mines a discus set up so my filter will be set up different to yours, but just make sure you put course, medium and fine sponges at the bottom as water rises from the bottom upwards through the trays. Me...

That guy is only interested in selling his biohome. Filters can be set up in different ways with different media to suit you and your tank, All he ever does is put a sponge in it and fills it up with biohome, as much as possible to maximise the amount people will want to buy. You can fill a...

I new you would not be disappointed, as for the symbol thing, I have no idea what it is as it isn't connected to anything or fits in anything, its just there,

Hi I'm the guy you've been speaking to on you tube mate. Noise wise, the fx6 has a slight hum but I can only hear it when Im close to the filter but the ultramax you need to have your ear against it to detect any noise.

The fx6 full of media, I got approx. 3000 lph which is 500 lph less than stated, the aquael ive got 1750 lph which is 250 lph less than stated but it suits my needs just fine. If it wasn't for the easy pre filter of the ultramax then I wouldn't have changed my fx6.

Hi Kayne The only reason im swapping is the fact it comes with a pre-filter that's so easy to take out and clean, 2 minutes and its done. Its mainly to make things easier for the mrs really, other than that no other reason as ive been more than happy with my fx6 and will recommend it to anybody.

Ive had one for a few days and even full of media its still throwing out 1750 lph. It is absolutely silent and is easy to control flow. It measures 27x29x45cm Ive swapped it for my fx6 (which is for sale) and im getting 2 more to replace my eheim pro4 600's.

The FX4 is a smaller version of the FX6 Never used JBL so cant comment on it but I use the FX6 and its a great filter, I use 3 in total on different tanks and never had an issue at all with any of them.

Cant go wrong with either Fluval fx6 or eheim professional 600, I run both filters on all my tanks and never had any issues and both run virtually silent, its all about personal opinion regarding filters as im sure others will recommend JBL or Oase among others and no doubt are just as good as...

yeah I had 2 150.s on my 6' marine tank, great bits of kit but way too powerful for a discus tank, thinking of looking for a second hand 130 but think even that might be too powerful even on reduced settings

I have a 6x2x2 Discus tank with mainly anubias and java ferns, I have a fluval fx6 and a eheim pro4 600 filters but cant seem to get enough flow for the whole tank, most plants aren't swaying so can anyone recommend a silent but not ridiculously expensive circulating pump which will not produce...

Thanks for clearing things up Clive

Thanks guys

im looking to use activated carbon as I have to remove some medication and also some tannins, Ive been looking online and there is so many different brands which all claim to be the best so im looking for experience, not marketing ploy as to which brand is best or are they all the same?

Used to have the 2000 filter and was very quiet, comparable to eheim for quietness; I had it for about 3 years but then I got the Eheim bug and gave it away to my mate who has had it for 6 years and is still going strong. Would I buy again? Definitely.

You wouldn't go wrong with the 306, its all about opinions but I run Fluval and Eheim filters on my tanks and wouldn't have anything else, its always best to go for more rather than less as the stated flow rates are under optimum conditions without media

thanks guys

Ive just bought an eheim pro 4+ 600 to go with my fx6 in my 6' discus tank but there is not enough tubing to reach both ends of the tank and its the black tubing, I can only find the green tubing so does anybody know where to buy the black tubing from?

My recommendation is either Fluval 206 or Eheim professional 250 or 350. I run both Fluval and Eheim filters on all my tanks and cant fault any of them.

Definitely FX6, I have 2 on my 6' Discus tank and ease of set up, ease of priming, ease of cleaning, ease of water change ( I have my own system but its easy with the filter), Basically ease of everything really, Ive never used them but the 06 series are supposed to good, in fact I'm thinking of...

I have the same tank and ive got an Aquarium Systems Visitherm 25w Mini and it fits in the pump compartment like a dream.
