Product description

Fluval FX4 is a high performance canister filter with many outstanding features designed to make aquarium fish keeping easier and more convenient than ever. This super capacity yet compact canister filter has a pump output of 700 gallons of water and has a filter circulation of 450 GPH, which both work to produce cleaner and healthier results. Filtering material can easily be placed in a removable stack of media baskets, which is at the heart of Fluval's multistage filtration. The baskets are precision-engineered to eliminate water by-pass, making filtration more efficient. The baskets can hold a total of 1 gallon of media and can be stacked in the precise combination of layers that will work best for your aquarium. Each one is lined with a foam insert for effective mechanical pre-filtering. Instant-release T-handles let you lift and separate the baskets quickly and easily, making routine maintenance simpler. FX4 also features Smart Pump Technology, which provides optimal filter performance. This advanced technological feature employs an electronic circuit board that continually monitors the pump. Impeller speed and force are constantly measured to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency. It also manages the filter's self-starting feature and evacuates air that may enter or build up within the filtration system. On a 12-hour cycle, the pump will pause and allow trapped air to escape, ensuring the best filtration efficiency. Only 16.5 inches in height, FX4 fits under most aquariums.

Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.

User questions & answers

Question:	is it quite
Answer:	Quite? don't even think about it. it gets louder and noisier at night times. normally, an under 30 [db(A)] sound lever is a safe and acceptable lever, but this one will make about 36-38 [db(A)] sound lever in the night. especially in the bedroom (away about 18 feet from the bed), you will need a sleeping pill to put you to sleep. I had one, but after 2weeks, I can't bear with it anymore longer, had to return it.
Question:	I have a 40 gallon tank for two read eared sliders. Would this filter be too strong or just right for my tank? Also, does it come with the hosing
Answer:	I've got it on a 55 gallon and it works fine! With turtles you want at least 3 times the filtration so 40 gallons of water needs a 160 gallon rated filter or stronger. Also it is recommended that you house your turtles separately as they are going to grow to be 8-12 inches long and are solitary in the wild! I recommend you join red ear slider turtle owners resto group on Facebook and they will have all the information on best diet best filters and best tanks for your turtles!
Question:	What do you have to replace for the filter media? And how often I don't believe what the company says about every month
Answer:	This is a very good filter, with "5" stages. The main foam padding, stage 1 and 2, can be rinsed out and reused about 3 times before it starts to get too worn. I rinse it in the water just pulled out of the tank to keep from killing the beneficial bacteria with tap water which contains chlorine. The soft portion of this foam pad does not hold up to even gentle squeezing out. I just rinse out the tiny filter pad, stage 3, at the top of the unit and have not replaced it yet. This thing is pretty durable and surprisingly expensive for what it is. Stage 4, the bio-media should not be replace unless they get damaged. Replacing the carbon media, stage 5, is a matter of choice. Many do not believe in it. I do. If you do use carbon media, remember it gets "full" rather quickly and should be replaced regularly, depending on the kind and amount of fish in your tank, it could last up to a month. Just think of the Brita filters. They are mainly carbon filters, and they make water taste yummy and free of junk. If you are really trying to save, you can buy loose activated carbon and make your own sachets with cheese cloth or those fill-your-own teabags. I've thought about doing that but have not tried it. I've been too lazy, and just purchased the carbon media bags, I believe they are about 8 bucks for 3. Hope that helps.
Question:	The Amazon description mentions "Ceramic heater core for even and efficient heat distribution". Does this have a built in heater
Answer:	The Fluval c2 power filter advertises that it has a ceramic heater core... unless its built in somewhere inside, its not visable period. so with that said, i still had my glass tube style heater and continue to use it with the power filter as i doubt that something i can not even see will heat the 20 gallon long tank enough for that fish i have.

Question:	Could I put the bag of these in my koi pond skimmer box to work for bio growth
Answer:	As long as you need to.
Question:	How many would I need to fill three trays in a Sunsun 704b
Answer:	The base is heavy, yes. I don't know about the hose but I believe you don't need to remove it. I would recommend getting the smaller jiffy steamer with the plastic water container instead of this. This one is not much more powerful and very cumbersome.
Question:	Does this need to go into a sump or can you just place them in a tank to eventually use in a new tank for quick cycling
Answer:	If you want a good, reasonably-priced floor steamer, I would recommend a Shark. I've had one for a couple of years now, and I love it! I paid well less than $100 for it; though I don't remember exactly what I paid, I believe it was even less than $50 on sale at a local big box.

SUNSUN Aquarium canister filter UV Quartz Sleeve HW3000 HW-3000 replacement glass UV tube, manufacturer directly original spare part

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit the 704b
Answer:	Yes. The converter is for US Voltage (110V) and converts it into 220V. It does not matter if the electronic is from China or Europe.It can also be used for 220V circuits to use for 110V equipment. You have to make sure to set the little switch to 110V input, if you use it in the USA. The output is then 220V.
Question:	will this fit the jup-01? The light says it does but does the glass sleeve
Answer:	You need to check the output from the wall/power terminal. So if the output of the wall is 220 then set it as an input on your Simran SMF converter. Same thing goes with the other. Set it to 110 if the output from the wall is 110.

Question:	Does this work on a rimmed 75 gallon tank
Answer:	I don’t have a Kindle but if the Kindle has a USB port it should work
Question:	Will this for a 304b
Answer:	140J
Question:	Im looking for a way to lower the intake for a deep tank yet still use the skimmer feature. Will this work for that or is there another part i should
Answer:	I ordered two of these and neither worked. Retuned both Go elsewhere!! This convertor is only rated at 100 watts max. about 50 continuous. It will drive a 50 watt 220 light bulb but nothing greater. For a grill which will require over 1200 watts more than likely, you will need a LARGE capacity convertor which will be pretty expensive. Again, don't waste time and money on these

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have a UV light
Answer:	No it doesn't. I haven't found a UV light necessary for my pond setup. It is outdoors, in the middle of the Pacific tropical climate.
Question:	Will water be crystal clear
Answer:	Water will be clear when you first start it. Depending on what type of marine life you are housing will be how clear the water remains. I have an eastern painted turtle and the tank needs to be cleaned monthly because they are dirty reptiles. I imagine that fish are much cleaner and the tank can be cleaned less frequently. But you still need to do periodic cleanings according to the instructions.
Question:	Does this come with filter media
Answer:	Hi Mark, yes, it comes with all the necessary filter media to start it.
Question:	Where to check the model number
Answer:	Hi Ronald, If you are looking for the model number on the filter itself, you won't find it. There is a label on the side of it though, near the top, with information about the filter. If you provide me with that information, especially the wattage, I can give you the model information.

Sherman’s aquatic tanks included innovative filter technology and other features that made his tanks superior. By 1970, Marineland of the Pacific was ready to bring its knowledge of aquarium science and marine biology to consumers. Serious hobbyists quickly embraced Marineland Aquarium Products as the company that truly understood both the art and science of fish keeping.

User questions & answers

Question:	what kind of pump is used
Answer:	It’s always better to start with a clean tank, so I’d recommend you do as you normally do - rinse the tank completely and then just add 2 oz. before you head out camping. There are some bacterial products that recommend NOT rinsing or flushing holding tanks because they are trying to build a bigger bacteria culture - a “mother culture” - but trust me, this is a bad idea as it is encouraging keeping old waste around unnecessarily. Our product doesn’t need a mother culture to work. The bacteria are strong enough to start fresh each time in a freshly washed and rinsed tank. Hope that helps.
Question:	Am I right that the 2.2-2.7 will fit a 30Lx18W tank
Answer:	Absolutely. This works on all waste solutions. Hope that helps and thank you for your interest in Better Boat.
Question:	What size should I get for a 150 gallon tank
Answer:	No it has a screw off lid on the bottom tank there is a tank in the top part that is filled with water it is heavy when full but totally managable
Question:	Does this filter come with all the layers for the filter
Answer:	You can use the USB ports on this adapter to charge you iPhone and Android phone directly. You do not need to use the Phone's power block.
