I promised someone I would do an unboxing thread when I got my fx6 so here it is, I’ll be writing my thought as I go through the box.
Unboxing the fx6

It is raining hard so the box got wet and I must say it is certainly much bigger then I thought. I knew it was gonna be big but I wasn’t prepared for how big it would be.
The panels have the instructions imprinted on them and each of the 3 panels have them in a different language which is very helpful.
It’s quite big, I took measurements to give a better way to visualize it.
The rest of the stuff that came in the box and wow, look at the size of that intake cover.
Oops, I forgot the outtake in the picture which is large as well. The balls move around with a little effort so you can aim them anywhere.
Turns out the little white knobs don’t screw off, they are to be pulled.
There’s a tube connected to the lid of the filter, I haven’t encountered that before in other canisters which is interesting.
The top layer.
It has two of these nice little red arms to help you lift it out
.
The second layer of media.
The third and final layer of media, not sure what the little bags are for. Perhaps for putting some sort of media in?
I noticed this and I believe this is where you can connect an attachment to syphon water out of the tank like I read in some reviews of this filter. The white and red piece comes off.
Well there we have it, the breakdown of my fx6..

Sounds good, what is the stocking of the 75 gallon tank?I’m going to put it on my 75 gallon
