My 72 bow tank works for over two weeks now. Few conclusions about Fluval G6.
Its extramely quiet, only noise i can hear its flowing in the tank water.
Its powerful, creats lots of current in the tank. I would say to powerful for my 72 g. I need to direct flow by using spray bars straight on to the tank glas to minimize water movement.
It seems to be dooing great job. My parameters are in norms Ph
stabilize slowly.
Cleaning takes about 25 minutes and u can do it without creating any mes.
Problem I've noticed its rather external. My mechanical cardridge cumulates alge. What affect flow of the water. Since I run planted aquarium I struggle with alge outbreak.
Electronic Display of parameters its rather useless. Shows exact temperature, water flow and conductivity (this one is like a black magick to me)
Generaly I can recommend this filter to those who wants to keep smaller big tanks. And doesnt have lots of aquatic/technical knowledge. I am not sure though if its good for planted aquarium. Algea affects it work. But this is only problem I've noticed in my tank. I assume my LED lights that ar3 designed for both marine and planted tanks are as well to strong and provokes algea growth.
