Fluval G Series Advanced Filtration System
The Perfect Blend of Beauty, Brains, And Brawn.
The Fluval G6 redefines the filtration category by offering a unique combination of aesthetics, monitoring capabilities and performance features.the G Series is a stunningly attractive, high-tech marvel that features a stylish cubic design
HydroTech™
The Fluval G Series is equipped with HydroTech, ™ an intelligent monitoring system. Though internal sensory modules, the HydroTech™ microprocessor stores and communicates real time filter performance, water parameters and filter cleaning intervals. The flow rate is permanently highlighted on the screen as well as aquarium water temperature and conductivity. To let you know when filter maintenance is required, scheduling is also displayed.
Drive Pump
The Fluval G is powered by an advanced three component drive system, providing power, long term reliability with virtually zero noise and high performance. The powerful yet compact synchronized dual drive coil is controlled by one of two Fluval G microprocessors which continuously monitor and adjust the start speed, impeller direction, power usage and performance.
Filter Casing
The inner filter chamber is made from fiberglass re-enforced polymer, designed to withstand pressures of 15PSI, far outweighing the normal operational standards and resulting in a leak-proof and noise reducing casing.
Fluval G Series FeaturesAquaStop
With its proprietary technology the AquaStop system makes maintenance easy, allowing you to stop the water flow by simply bringing the AquaStop valve lever into an upright position.By lifting the AquaStop release lever, the complete assembly can be conveniently removed without separating the hosing
Lever Canister ClampsAquaStop
Chrome plated cast ZAMA levers provide a strong and secure seal and do not corrode or oxidize even when in contact with salt water. They are made of Zamak alloy which provides superior strength and dimensional stability over time.
Primer
With the Fluval G, there's never a need for manual siphoning. After set up on the aquarium and before plugging the unit in, just push the easy priming button all the way down 2-3 times in fast sequence. As water is drawn through the intake hosing, it fills the canister pushing air out of its way.
Telescopic Intake and Strainer / Rim attachment / Spray Nozzles or Spray Bars
Water is drawn through the multi-lamella intake strainer, designed to repel debris and resist the build-up of solids that would normally impede water flow. Additional intake strainers can be attached to extend the intake screen surface.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Problems that I've run into with the filter: the priming pump broke and for some reason no longer primes the intake water line going to the filter. The only way to prime the filter now is to take an underwater powerhead in my tank and shoot water into the intake pipe. That ends up pumping any air out of the filter/hoses and restoring water flow. The twist-in cartridges become difficult over time to twist out and remnove. This is solved somewhat by lubing the red o-rings on the pre-filter and chem cartridges with petroleum jelly. I've run into problems with brown algae growing in the included hoses, which clogs the hoses over time and greatly reduces the flow rate of the filter (easily noticeable from the output of the spraybars). The hoses, however, are easily cleaned out with long flexible steel wire brushes. If you notice high levels of algae growing in the filter/hoses, reduce feeding in your tank. I broke the original impeller, which pumps water into/out of the filter. You have to be very delicate when pulling the impeller out of the filter's headunit; use that hooked metal tool that comes with the filter. The impeller's spindle is made out of some very fragile plastic (or is it ceramic?) that easily snapped on me when i lazily tried prying it out from the filter's headunit with a knife. The blue pre-filter cartridges for this filter clog very, very quickly (they are made of a high mesh sieve and are easily renewable and reusable), and shouldn't be depended upon for prefiltering aquarium water for extremely dirty animals like red-eared slider turtles. The regular white-prefilters are claimed to be of a "no pass through" design, but if you look closely at the filter floss on these cartridges, you will notice holes in the filter strands where waste from your aquarium can slip through. The waste then ends up on the biological media, slowly creating a sludge on top of all bio media trays over time, further reducing the flow rate of the filter. This problem can likely be solved by adding a sponge filter of some sort to the suction end of the intake pipe.
Complete cleaning this filter is a hell of a chore--I feel that completely cleaning this filter is on par with washing a car. With that said, I would not recommend using this filter for aquatic turtles, unless you feed the turtles in a separate tank. I use this filter for a red eared and yellow bellied slider, and I feed my turtles in a separate tank just for the sake of reducing overall maintenance of the filter.
Other than all that, I would recommend this filter overall for its high level of engineering and ease of maintenance (outside of cleaning it completely). For turtles, however, I would recommend getting something like a wet dry filter or a refugium type filter. Anything that's easy to clean--something that this filter is not, by any means.
Purchased the Fluvial G6 for a Cichlid 54 Gallon Corner Aquarium...
I absolutely love it:
*Great water flow
*Completely silent
*Super easy Mechanical and Chemical filtration clean/replacement
*Temperature, Conductivity, and flow feedback are a huge bonus
*Tons of biological filtration capacity with (3) trays
*Small footprint
*Work of art aesthetically
I almost didn't purchase this filter due to some of the negative comments.....
But sure glad I did, I've had zero issues and it works flawlessly.
Running a packed chemical cartridge of very fine grained Purigen and still have no low flow issues at all.
Very happy with this filter.
*****Update after 6-months******
Rating dropped from 5-Stars to 1-Star
Water flow dropped dramatically after about 6-months and Fluval was zero help in getting a resolution, other than trying to blame it on stupid things with my setup....none of which was an issue.
I was lucky as I complained to Amazon and believe it or not, after 6-months they accepted a return.
I still like the looks and many features of this filter but it seems that there are issues after it has ran for a period of time that Fluval refuses to acknowledge. They will drag on with warranty claims then, maybe, finally except a return if you pay for shipping and they will diagnose the filter for many weeks before deciding what to do.
My guess is....I suspect that Fluval is keeping this on the market only to sell off excessive inventory. I highly doubt they are continue to manufacturer this filter that seems plagued with many issues and very finicky to operate successfully.
It was originally released way back in 2010

I have a 100 gallon tank that is planted and has 6 adult discus, 9 rams, and 15 tetras (serpaem black neon and cardinal). I also use a large UV, though the G6 has baout half the turnover as previous filter the water parameters are much better. I used the provided g nodes but have matrix in top tray of bio space.
I have only had the filter for 2 months but will update if anything changes with my expereince.
The only downside is the waterflow indicator ALWAYS shows low flow since my first maintance which is odd becuase the filter was pretty dirty after two weeks so if all you do is spray and scrub with provided brush how could it be worse than before the maintence which did not indicate low flow? It would be nice to have an actually idication of flow, gph or something,rather than the general percentages. I'm not sure if its becuase my intake hose is a couple feet longer (thinking becuase it is gravity iot would not affect flow just add extra pressure) or if my bio trays or too heavely stocked.
Anyways I choose to ignore and enjoy the great results so far.
