Fluval FX2 High-Performance Canister Filter

Heavy-Duty Filtration. Compact Footprint.
​Want the legendary, uncompromising power of Fluval’s flagship FX series, but don't have the space for a massive monster filter? Meet the Fluval FX2. Engineered specifically to bridge the gap for medium to large aquariums, the FX2 delivers incredible multi-stage filtration in a streamlined, compact design that effortlessly slides into standard-sized aquarium cabinetry.

​Whether you are running a heavily stocked freshwater community tank, a messy cichlid or turtle setup, or a dedicated marine reef, the FX2 provides crystal-clear water with minimal maintenance.

​Key Features

​Smart Pump™ Technology: Powered by an advanced microchip, the filter continuously monitors and optimizes pump performance, measuring impeller speed and force to maximize energy efficiency.

​True Self-Priming: Say goodbye to manual siphoning. Just add water, plug it in, and the Smart Pump™ takes care of the rest. It even pauses automatically every 12 hours to vent trapped air and ensure maximum flow efficiency.

​Massive 5-Stage Modular Media Capacity: Features stackable, removable media baskets that eliminate water bypass. It holds a massive 1 US gallon (3.9 L) of customizable media. All essential mechanical, chemical, and biological media are included right out of the box.

​Hassle-Free Maintenance: Equipped with leak-proof AquaStop Click-Fit valves positioned at a convenient 45-degree angle for quick rotation and easy disconnect.
​Customizable Water Flow: Twin multi-directional output nozzles allow you to fully adjust and customize the water current to suit your aquascape and inhabitants.
​Whisper-Quiet Operation: Designed with rubberized feet and fewer mechanical joints on the impeller, keeping vibration noise to an absolute minimum for a peaceful environment.
