The MONSTER Fluval G series!!!

actually the filter media is suppose to be used more effectively then any other filter, the flow of water is suppose to be 100% through the filter media where there is loss or not 100% going through the media on most filters. This part I am not sure about this with regards other canisters but this is what I was told. As regards flow rates, why is it that you can have a slower flow rate through your sumps and be WAY more effective then having a faster rate? This makes sense to me, I think the flow rate will change as things progress. Its more about surface areas and bacterial colonies then how fast you can push water through a system.Jgray152;3506690; said:
Rena Filstar Series and Some eheim filters are 100% bypass free. There is no difference between the efficiency of them and the G series besides the fact the G series has a micro cartridge where these filters don't. You can use micron filtration pads in those filters as well.
Effective how? Biologically? That is usually the case with sumps.
You speaking more about biological filtration?
Mechanically, a slower flow "velocity" is better for mechanical filtration but a higher "flow volume" is better for mechanical filtration as well. If the filter can not siphon the debris from the water in the tank and allows it to fall to the bottom of the tank than what is the point of the filter?
The smaller the cross section surface area, the slower the velocity you want, usually means you need to lower the flow volume through the filter. If its designed right, you can have a larger area with a much higher flow rate but a much slower velocity.
If they had a lower price of these filters, people would buy them like crazy I am sure. Many don't like the cartridge design and the low flow rates. On smaller tanks, 55 and under, those flow rates would be "ok".
These are sweet. They come in black only. They are designed to be a part of the furniture/ Tank. It is so sleek looking you will not want to hide it like others.

Hagen has announced the launch of its new Fluval G range of high-end external filters at its trade event in Warwickshire.
The Fluval G range includes two models, the G3 and the G6, which pack in several features which that are unique in the aquarium filtration market.
Both Fluval G filters monitor the performance of the filter and some water parameters and show the results on a digital display.
They also include a unique cartridge system which allows the pre-filter, chemical or mechanical filter media cartridges to be cleaned or replaced very quickly without the need to turn the filter off or open the entire canister.
The shiny, cube-shaped filters, look rather like marine aquarium chiller units, have a stylish black lacquered finish and silver trim and chromed locking handles, and are small enough to fit inside most cabinets.
Hydrotech Performance Monitor
The Fluval G includes an integrated Hydrotech Performance Monitor which allows the system to monitor temperature, flow rate, conductivity, and displays current results and historical data via an LCD graphical display.
Particular emphasis has been placed on the conductivity monitoring aspects, which are handed by a titanium probe within the filter - a unique feature in the aquarium market.
Hagen says that as conductivity levels rise with time due to evaporational losses concentrating the levels of dissolved minerals, that it is possible to use the technology to predict when a water change is due.
It said: "Minimum and maximum values can be set which, when exceeded, will trigger a visual alarm on the filter screen to alert you to problems.
"The Hydrotech Monitor also includes a maintenance schedule you can customise to your own requirements, so you'll never forget when that media change is due again."
Filter media
The Fluval Gs have a three-stage filtration system which combines mechanical filter cartridges and chemical media cartridges with capacious baskets of Fluval G Bio-nodes biological filter media.
The quick release cartridge system allows direct access to top pre-filter and chemical cartridges via a shut-off valve based system.
Each cartridge can be removed via a twist-lock system and either replaced with a fresh one or rinsed and reinstalled. Hagen claims the whole process takes just a couple of minutes.
The digital display warns the user when the flow rate has dropped and shows the loss of performance from trapped debris, providing warnings to the user that the media needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Hagen technical expert Klaus Reimuller, told Practical Fishkeeping: "One of the most important things to understand about this filter is the research and development that goes into something like this.

seems like she will have to sell it to us for 225 now. I will take one. Thanks YouCOOL MBU;3512450; said:The website has the price listed at $339.99 for the FX5
