It's interesting that it was the very first canister ever built, and it still has the best design. From my experience with canisters (Magnums, Fluvals, Rena Filstars, and now the ProII), none seem to beat the design of the Eheim classic. It releases it on its own within an hour or so. I should know, my ProII sometimes get air trapped when I restart it after a WC.

Time will tell, but so far I'm pleased! Just some feedback.Īs far as I know, not even the new ProII's or the Pro3 can be completely 100% free of trapped air. I like the spigot on the bottom for draining off water also-most of the debris is at the bottom and it keeps the filter cleaner and efficient.Īnyhow, so far I am really happy with the FX5-also, it is QUIET as hell-virtually silent. I also cooked up a CO2 reactor thing that is working efficiently by drilling out one of the end caps, siliconing in rigid airline tubing which extends out about 3 inches CO2 black tubing is on the outside line and there's a micro bubbler on the internal side screwed it back together-water flow against the bubbler is breaking the CO2 bubbles up with great absorption and they come out the spray bar holes-a regulator, etc keeps the pH where I want it and everything is neat and out of the way. I changed it up a bit when I set it up: Put a big sponge on the intake, changed the output to a T barred spray bar at the bottom of the tank that is about 3 feet long in total. Second-the water is CRYSTAL CLEAR-this is a heavily planted tank with 10 discus and a bunch of bristlenose, etc-the usual. I got it set up a couple weeks ago and my feedback is this: There is a lot of talking about the micro chip and faulty design etc-I have watched my unit click off for the 2 minute interval a couple times-I think this is a back up-so far, no air is dispelled-if you have it set up right, there is no air exposure-it is great for initial priming and a back up otherwise I think. I rarely was able to get the crystal clear look to water and after several years, just wanted to try something else for a while. The supplied assembly plate enables different assembly options.After a lot of research and checking out reviews from Australia, England, and Canada, I took a chance on a Fluval for the first time (I've always used Eheim and wet/drys before) and just got an FX5 to replace a big wet/dry with a Magnum HOT for my 180g tank. Therefore a installation with pvc pipes is possible. Both connectors can be removed from the pump. The pressure connector enables the use of interesting accessories such as installationKit 2. The inlet connector is designed for safe hose connection.

The integrated pre-filter prevents objects from entering the impeller and ensures long performance. That guarantees maximum safety and a long lifetime. The pump has a hermetically sealed motor body.
