Fluval Fx2 High Performance External Canister Filter

Description

FX2 High Performance External Canister Filter from Fluval

The All-New FX2 filter packs high-level FX performance into the series’ most space-saving and affordable design to date.

Recognized as the “workhorse of canisters” for its legendary strength and durability, FX Series is capable of outputting as much as 925 GPH (3500 L/h) in tanks up to 400 US Gal (1500 L).
That kind of impressive power sweeps the tank harder and faster to retain a greater amount of debris.

Combining patented Smart Pump performance-optimizing technology with auto start/stop operation and intricate multi-stage cleaning featuring an expansive basket-in-basket media tray design.
FX owners will spend more time enjoying their aquarium, and less time maintaining it.

Measuring the same height as FX4 and 15% smaller overall, FX2 fits within standard sized cabinetry.

Multi-Stage Filtration
FX Series filters feature 2 inset red baskets for greater media capacity and flexibility.
As with all Fluval filters, water flows through each media stage in proper order to ensure thorough cleaning.
This process is more efficient and effective than some competitive filters, which force water through all stages in one pass.

Bio-Foam
While the FX2 Bio-Foam (the only new media addition to the line) is thinner than traditional Bio-Foam, it features a rippled pattern that offers more surface area to efficiently trap debris and increase biological activity.
This was specifically designed on account of the FX2’s smaller size.

Smart Pump Technology
Patented Smart Pump Technology employs an electronic circuit board to continually monitor the pump. Impeller speed and force are constantly measured to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency.
Smart Pump is also critical in evacuating any air that may build up in the system. Once every 12 hours, the filter will pause and allow any trapped air to escape, thereby maintaining maximum filtration efficiency.
