	Unparalleled ease of use and maintenance The Fluval Canister Filter FX5 offers unparalleled filtration power, maximum versatility and incredible control in fine-tuning water characteristics. The multi-stage system allows you to stack filtration media in the precise combination of layers that will work best for your aquarium, providing you infinite flexibility in creating and maintaining the ideal environment for your fish. The FX5's massive capacity and powerful integrated motor processes and recirculates over 600 gallons of water every hour, enabling you to precisely manage water conditions for aquariums as large as 400 gallons. It will hold up to 1.5 gallons (5.9 liters) of media, yet it's compact enough to fit under almost any aquarium cabinet. With Fluval FX5's unique Smart-Pump Technology, this self-priming system offers plug-in-and-start convenience. Upon start-up the canister fills with water, pauses to evacuate air, immediately begins the filtering process, and continues filtering until it is unplugged.

Fluval Canister Filter FX5 is self-monitoring. Once every 24 hours, the filter will pause again to evacuate any air that has become trapped in the system to maintain the total vacuum necessary for maximum efficiency.

The FX5's stack of media baskets allow multiple options to modify water with scientific precision. Use one type of media in each basket, or layer two or three types to suit your aquarium's needs.

This filter's superior performance and capability are backed by Fluval's well-earned reputation for the best in fish and aquarium care. HARS (Hagen Aquatic Research Station) certification is your assurance of the most up-to-date and reliable research in aqua-care science.

	FLUVAL CARBON is a very pure activated carbon that is ideal in both Fresh and Marine water Fluval Activated Carbon provides many benefits in both fresh and marine water. The high quality carbon provides a large porous area to trap minute particles. Besides providing a small sieve for mechanical trapping of organic wastes, carbon also removes liquid wastes from water. These include urine, dyes or impurities in solution. This action provides sparkling clear water in the aquarium. The large internal surface area also provides numerous points for important bacterial colonies to form and thrive. Carbon should always be removed during medication. It has also been recently noted that carbon will adsorb a large percentage of many of the nutrients in plant fertilizer products. As such, it should be used carefully when keeping live plants. Carbon loses its activity without outward sign. In general, carbon should be replaced on a monthly basis to ensure that active adsorption is maintained.

Click for Larger Image	FLUVAL PEAT GRANULES
	FLUVAL PEAT (GRANULAR) offers a highly effective, natural method to soften water and achieve proper pH values for many tropical fish Use to control, manipulate and satisfy the breeding requirements of many softer water, lower pH loving, ornamental tropical fish and is known to promote luxurious live plant growth. Fluval Peat Granular is a select granular peat ideal for use in freshwater aquariums. This concentrated, safe, natural filter media provides optimal water conditions for many species of fish originating from specific tropical environments. Many species of fish can benefit from the compounds found in Fluval Peat Granular. Examples include species of South American Cichlids (Angelfish, Discus, Apistogramma etc.), Corydoras Catfish, Tetras, Gouramis and Barbs. Fluval Peat Granular releases beneficial elements and will contribute to vibrant colors, enhanced breeding success, and superior conditions for a variety of fish species that thrive in soft acidic water. It is recommended to verify the desired pH and KH levels by testing with Nutrafin pH and KH test kits on a regular basis. Fluval Peat Granular is a concentrated filter media and will initially reduce pH and KH levels at a quicker rate than fibrous peat. The recommended KH range is 50 to 120 mg/L (approx. 3 to 7 dKH to support safe, stable pH levels) for proper maintenance of certain species of fish. Use Nutrafin pH Stabilizer for superior results in maintaining an optimal KH value. The replacement of Fluval Peat Granular media is determined by testing and the diminishing effect it has on pH and KH levels. Each concentrated granule contains valuable substances such as a variety of salts, hormones, humic acid, tanning agents and assorted trace elements essential to proper life processes. Fluval Peat Granular can be used to control, manipulate and satisfy the breeding requirements of many softer water, lower pH loving, ornamental tropical fish and is known to promote luxurious live plant growth.

Click for Larger Image	FLUVAL BIO-MAX RINGS
	BIO-MAX rings are unique, inert ceramic rings that promote powerful bacterial growth both internally and externally. Each ring is very porous, with holes that are perfectly sized to host beneficial bacteria. The massive internal and external surface areas allow huge colonies of beneficial bacteria to grow, making Fluval Biomax an ideal media for biological removal of both ammonia and nitrite concentrations in the aquarium. Fluval BioMax is suitable for both fresh and marine aquariums. When used in a center or top media basket, Fluval BioMax is the ideal host material for large populations of beneficial bacteria. The ring size and shape provide an excellent strainer for medium and large particulate wastes when used in the middle media basket. The biological activity is still noticeable when used in lower levels, but the rings will clog much more rapidly than when they are used higher in the filter. Bacterial activity and growth will gradually clog the internal pores that make it such a fantastic biological substrate. BioMax should be replaced every six months, but only half should be replenished at one time to allow proper seeding from older media to new.

	FLUVAL AMMONIA REMOVER removes ammonia before it can harm fish Intended for fresh water use, it is an effective addition to other filter media. It reduces sudden unacceptable levels of ammonia, such as the build-up of ammonia resulting from the removal of chloramine from municipally-treated tap water. It should be changed two to four weeks to ensure ongoing protection from sudden invisible rises in ammonia production.

	FLUVAL ZEO-CARB combines the benefits of Fluval's high quality Activated Carbon with the protective qualities of Ammonia Remover This useful combination helps protect the aquarium from toxic build-ups of ammonia (ie - when chloramine is removed from municipally-treated tap water). It simultaneously absorbs liquefied wastes, dyes and medications from the water. The Carbon can also remove any free chlorine in new water. The purity of the carbon ensures a prolonged active life and releases no phosphates into the water. In general, carbon is active for approximately one month, depending on bioload. It should be replaced monthly.

	Pre-filter Foam pads for Fluval Canister Filters As water enters the filter chamber, it must pass through the initial Foam Screen to remove as much coarse and medium solid waste as possible. The Foam Screen acts like a strainer to prevent waste from clogging biological and fine mechanical media that are used later in the Module Stack.
