User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit the sunsun JP-085 internal filter
Answer:	the CF500 IS THE ONE THAT I AM LOOKING FOR
Question:	my old impeller feels stuck, how do I get it out
Answer:	This set does not have the correct photo shown for what you receive. The set I received was for the sun sun 302. Without UV the cut out hole for the tube is much smaller. Not to mention the 302 is a smaller tray then the 304.
Question:	Is this the Yellow impeller for the 303? The picture show this a Blue propeller for a different model
Answer:	These didn't fit the 303B, at lease inch to small in size. They shouldn't be advertised as a option with this filter.
Question:	Does the impeller door come with the impeller as a kit
Answer:	Hello, you can fix the heating rod by the suction cup bracket, either horizontally or vertically, thank you.

Question:	We're con i bay the main body sunsun 505A canister filter
Answer:	unsure. it works really, really well. tough plastic. would recommend the 1/3 HP = much faster
Question:	Will this quick connect fit my HW-302 canister filter
Answer:	3/4 and 5/8 hoses have the same fittings. Only the hose is a different diameter. 3/4 obviously flows more because it’s larger. But his fittings are standard.
Question:	Is there any way i can get the inlet pipe in the picture, with the surface skimmer instead of the straight pipe i received

User questions & answers

Question:	yesterday i cleaned out my filter and i put it back on but it wont suck in water from the pipe there is no pressure even after i pump it. why
Answer:	I came home and my filter was not running. I have had this for a month and it was running great. I cleaned out the filter, etc. and cannot get it to prime. I feel like I have tried everything! I filled the canister with water and it will not prime. When using the prime button, the water goes up to a certain point but does not prime.. Help!
Question:	What is the difference between the 1000, 1200, and
Answer:	What the others said. Personally I would get the largest you can afford. More filtration is never a bad thing. The 1200 and 1500 use the same filter pads.
Question:	Will filter work for a 100 gallon tank for my red ear slider turtle
Answer:	Yes. I use this for my CST in a 55 gallon tank. This is a great filter. Remember, it is more about the media you use than the filter alone. Experiment with media to see what works best for you. For my turtle, I have found that layering sponges in the bottom tray from coarse, medium to fine and then using Matrix bio media in the next 2 trays and then using carbon and an ammonia neutralizing carbon in the last two trays works wonders. It really keeps my turtle tank clean. This filter is easy to use, prime and clean. Plus it is very affordable. All canister filters are basically equal, the media is what really matters.
Question:	Will this include an installation manual and all the tubings? I am new to canister filters and I want to know as much as possible before purchasing
Answer:	Yes, though you would do well to check out some YouTube videos demonstrating the setup, as well as the steps to take to disconnect the unit from the tubes for cleaning. The manual that comes with the filter is a great start, but a little unclear at times.

Product description

Fluval FX6 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 925 gallons of water and has a filter circulation of 563 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 1.5 gallons 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 simple. FX6 also features Smart Pump Technology, which provides optimum filter performance. This advanced technological feature employs an electronic circuit board that continuously monitors the pump. Impeller speed and force are constantly measured to ensure power 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 21" in height, FX6 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.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this filter work to keep the surface water clean? I have used canister filters before and always end up with that film on top of the water
Answer:	Yes you can choose to use them, but put them in the bottom basket because the flow is sucked up and you can cut you flow rate when the polishing clothe gets sucked in up against water return filter screen. (I thought I broke mine then I took it apart and found my mistake). I use a foam pad versus poly fill tho and then just rinse it every month. And there is plenty of room for bio media on top of the foam and in the other baskets.
Question:	How is it's long-term reliability? I have had several canister filters in the last 15 yrs and all have leaked
Answer:	Yes you need at least 24" but 36 would be better. The connectors are app. 5" and the hoses are pretty stiff so they don't bend well. I have the same space in my stand and I had to cut out the back to slide it farther back and then I have to disconnect the hoses before I can remove the unit. I will get another stand as soon as I can. You also want at least 20 inches between the top of the tank and the unit.
Question:	I am sitting up a 75 gallons tank in my office i don't want to clean it a lot what fluval pump would you suggest
Answer:	Spec says.....80-160 US Gallon which pretty much speaks for itself. get the Fluval FX6 which has a much higher output and made for bigger tanks......even with this filter you need more circulation for a tank of that size. Most specifications are on the high end. I personally wouldn't go bigger than a 100 gallon with the G6
Question:	How is the longevity of the FX6 compared to other filters people have owned? (primarily Eheim). I will be using it in a turtle tank if that matters
Answer:	The water flow is not adjustable as far as I can tell. I have not had the need to adjust as the pressure seems optimal and I have three of these units on three separate aquariums, each with different populations of fish.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this be good in a 40 gallon breeder tank ? With sand ? Or should I just stick with 2 power filters
Answer:	I have two of these filters and I use one in a 55 gallon tank with pea gravel and it works perfectly. The other I use in a 100 gallon indoor pond and the water is crystal clear.
Question:	Can you use this filter for lower water level tanks such as turtle tanks
Answer:	I use this in my 55 gal turtle tank which has about 7" of water in it. I had to tape up the intake pipe joints to reduce air leaks and I had to manually prime the intake line to get it to start but it does work fine once the siphon gets started. I'm going to drill the tank below the water level and convert it to gravity fed because it's a real pain to get started due to the vertical distance the water has to travel to leave the tank.
Question:	Can I use this in a half full tank? I have a 20gallon long breeder tank a little over half full, about 11 or 12 gallons
Answer:	There is plenty of power in the pump but you will have to make some modifications to the fittings in order to extend the height in the tank. I set mine up for turtles and was able to get the water level 5 inches below the rim with the firings provided.
Question:	Can I use this on a 45g reef tank
Answer:	Yes it will work. But canister filters will harbor nitrates if not cleaned every week. A good protein skimmer and good water flow is much better for salt water. I would recommend a hang on back filter just to clear the debris and clarify the water as needed, it doesn't have to run constantly. Canister filters are not needed for reef aquariums. I bought this canister for my freshwater fish tank and it's decent for that.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the tube ID dimension
Answer:	With hoses attached it would be very, very tight if it was me I would not use this cabinet. You need no less than 22 to 23 inches in height.
Question:	I live on the 2nd floor in an apartment building. We have frequent power outages that last from 2 seconds to .5 hour. Will this leak all over
Answer:	Yes it does but you must use the internal pump for the sterilizer to come on .
Question:	Why can't I find sunsun 704b replacement parts
Answer:	I put the bio balls in first. then the ceramic. finally the filter pads in the same layer. i only use 3 stages leaving room for something else like carbon bags. i love mine it works great.. very quiet so when you start to hear a very minimal hum coming from your tank it is time to clean it. and finally make sure you have a towel with you when cleaning it you will lose a very small (2-4 ounces) amount of water when you disconnect it.
Question:	What is different from the sunsun hw304B? Other than the shape of course
Answer:	No, the flow can't be adjusted. Actually it doesn't even have a power switch but turns on by unit being plugged into electrical outlet

User questions & answers

Question:	can I order the media basket the filters are placed in
Answer:	yes I believe you can order replacement baskets from Amazon.
Question:	Hello. is there sunsun hw-304b 220v
Answer:	No
Question:	Does anyone have a problem getting this to work in a tank that isn't full? I filled the tank to prime then removed water & it stopped working
Answer:	You definitely want to pre fill the filter before starting it up (if you cant prime it hoses might be mixed up-suction return lines) I would also make sure the return tube is fully submerged at the top of the water. I personally have three 304b filters, one of them gives me issues like yours if the outlet tube isn't covered with water.
Question:	How do i know if my uv light is working? i put the filter together recently but i don't know if the light is turning on
Answer:	There's a little round button nest to the on off switch. It is actually not a bitton so dont press down on it. It is a window that will show when the light inside the filter is on.

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.

About Us

Marineland’s history is a story of innovation with two unique beginnings. The first opens with Robert Sherman, a Cleveland entrepreneur and businessman who manufactured high-end lobster tanks for restaurants and grocery stores. 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.
