## Description

Recognized as the "workhorse of canisters" for their legendary strength and durability, high-output FX Series filters sweep 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.

Review: Run, don't Walk. Get you one NOW - Absolutely! Hands down the best canister filter out there. If you don't have one and you're waiting, stop, go get it now, you won't regret it. There is no noise. It's easy to install. The flow rate is superb. Water clarity is spectacular. You couldn't ask for anything better. Go get you one! What are you waiting for?
Review: I wish I had gotten this for my tank sooner! - I have two turtles and their tank was always so dirty! I have gone through 6 HOB filters and two aesthetic turtle filters (ones that look like rocks) and every filter I tried needed to be fully taken apart and deep cleaned every few weeks! Nothing could keep my tank clean until I got this filter! I waited a few months to write this review just to make sure it held up and it is still absolutely amazing! I was nervous because I have never had a canister filter before and I didn’t know how to use it but it’s actually incredibly easy. It’s effective, super quiet, and total game changer for my turtles! Now I’m thinking of switching all of my tanks to this filter! It saves me so much time and it saves money because I don’t need to constantly buy replacements for the HOB filters anymore!

## Features

- Enhanced Performance: Multi-stage filter pumps out 475 US Gal (1,800 L) of water per hour, with the patented Smart Pump advanced microchip technology continuously monitoring and optimizing pump performance.
- Self-Starting: Just add water, plug in and Smart Pump technology will take over. Any trapped air is auto-evacuated every 12 hours to ensure maximum efficiency.
- Multi-functional Utility Valve: Drain at the base makes it possible to empty the canister and perform seamless water changes by draining and refilling water directly from it. Convenient lid-mounted hosing clips offer clean storage when not in use.
- 4-Stage Filtration: Four removable filter baskets eliminate water bypass and hold up to 1 US Gal (3.9 L) of media: mechanical, chemical, and biological. These baskets enable you to stack in the precise combination that will work best for your aquarium.
- Compact and Quiet Design: FX2 canister filter is 16.5" (42 cm) tall, is 15% smaller than the FX4, and fits under most aquariums. Unidirectional impeller has fewer mechanical joints for reduced noise. Rubber feet reduce vibration and add stability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better pump
*by C***O on December 24, 2025*

I have had other Fluval pumps, the build quality of the FX series is significantly better. The self prime function is fantastic and worth the money just for it. No more pumping to get the pump to flow.
