Fluval 06 Series Filters

by Leave a Comment

The Fluval 06 range of external filters sit outside of the tank, which means that they do not take up valuable water space. They come in four sizes to suit different sized tanks:

The 106 model, for tanks of up to 25 gallons

The 206 model, for tanks of up to 45 gallons

The 306 model, for tanks of up to 70 gallons

The 406 model, for tanks of up to 100 gallons

The range of filters is more expensive than some other options and also more expensive than Fluval’s own internal filters. However, if you want to invest in good quality kit that will last a long time, the 06 range is highly recommended.

All of the products in the range come with a three year manufacturers guarantee. [Read more…] about Fluval 06 Series Filters
