Frequently asked questions

What filter for a 6 foot aquarium? A 6 ft tank often holds 500L or more; a large canister like the Fluval FX4 or Aquael Ultramax, rated for 700–1000L, is the right class of filter.

Can I run two filters on a large tank? Yes, many keepers of big tanks run two canisters (or a canister plus a sump/HOB) for redundancy and even flow across the tank.

Are these filters suitable for monster fish and cichlids? Yes. High-flow canisters handle the heavy waste load of large cichlids, arowana and other messy fish, keeping ammonia and nitrite in check.
