It’s massive capacity and powerful integrated motor processes and re-circulates 563 gallons of water every hour enabling you to precisely manage water conditions for aquariums as large 400 gallons. It will hold up to 1.5 gallons of media, yet it is compact enough to fit under almost any aquarium cabinet.
With Fluval’s unique Smart Pump technology, this self-priming system offers plug-in-and-start convenience. Upon start-up the canister fills with water, pauses to evacuate air, immediately begins the filtering process and continues filtering until it is unplugged. Once every 24 hours, the filter will pause again to evacuate any air that has become trapped in the system to maintain the total vacuum necessary for maximum efficiency.
Fluval FX5 Details
• High performance, canister filter for aquariums up to 400 gallons.• Multi-directional Output Nozzle – Twin-output nozzle can be adjusted to create specific water flow to reach all corners of the aquarium.
• Self-Priming Instant Start System - Just add water and plug in. The FX5 has a “Smart-chip” in the motor, allowing it to be self-priming.
• Smart Pump Technology – Allows system to shut-down and purge any trapped air, every 24 hours. This procedure eliminates any accumulated air-pockets, within the canister, providing you with maximum performance.
• Aqua-Stop Valves – Unique “Click-fit” technology allows for fast set-up and leak-proof maintenance. The valves rotate 360 deg and are directed at 55 degree angles for easy positioning. The flow control allows you to regulate water flow, with no harm to the motor.
• Purge Valve – Allows for partial discharge of debris, without disconnecting or opening filter. It can also be used to drain the aquarium utilizing the filter pump. This is beneficial on large aquariums.
• Multi-Functional Rim Adapter – Innovative rim adapter easily secures hosing and fits most standard trims.
• Clog-free Strainer – Heavy-duty anti-clogging strainer prevents blockage, even in a planted aquarium. Maintains constant water flow, even when covered with solid waste.
• Electronic Circuit Board – Continuous monitoring of impellor speed and pump power ensures optimum output and efficient energy usage. Motor will turn itself off if impellor is impeded.
• Installation DVD
FLUVAL FX5 Media Options
• Fluval Carbon – Research-grade carbon removes colors, odors and toxins from water.
• BioMax – Porous ceramic rings that provide a huge surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize.
• Fluval Ammonia Remover – Effectively removes ammonia before it can harm fish.
• Fluval Polishing Pad – Screens out fine particulates

Product Features
AquaStop Valves
The FX5’s compact, super capacity tank processes and re-circulates 563 gallons of water every hour and accommodates the stack of media baskets with their capacity of up to 1.5 gallons of media. Yet this enormous-capacity tank is short enough (21 inches) to fit under most large aquariums.
Key Features
Multi-Directional Output Nozzle
Designed and engineered for reliable filtration of delicately balanced aquarium environments, Fluval’s FX5 Smart Pump technology employs an electronic circuit board to continually monitor the pump. Impeller speed and force are constantly measured to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency. Smart Pump technology is also critical in evacuating any air that may build up in the system. Once every 24 hours, the filter will pause and allow any trapped air to escape, thus maintaining maximum filtration efficiency.
With the FX5, there’s never any need for manual siphoning. Simply fill the canister with 2 gallons of water, plug the filter in, then the filter will complete the filling process from your aquarium. It pumps for 2 minutes, pauses for 2 minutes to evacuate air then restarts immediately.
The FX5 canister features a purge valve drain at its base. This makes it possible for you to empty the canister for maintenance before moving it.
Product Description
The Fluval FX5 offers unparallel filtration power, maximum versatility and incredible control in fine-tuning water characteristics. Fluval FX5 Smart Pump Technology ensures a quiet, efficient operation. This self-priming system provides plug-in-and-start convenience. The multi-stage system allows you to stack filter media in the precise combination of layers that will work best for your aquarium. This filter will provide you infinite flexibility in creating and maintaining the ideal environment for your fish. The Fluval FX5's massive capacity and powerful integrated motor processes and recirculates 563 gallons of water every hour, enabling you to precisely manage water conditions for aquariums as large as 400 gallons. It will hold up to 1.5 gallons of media, yet it's compact enough fit under almost any aquarium cabinet. The Fluval FX5 Filter siphons water and suspended debris through its clog-proof intake strainer, and then sends it through three levels of foam, which traps most particulate matter. The powerful pump then sends it through the multiple levels of media for the cleaning and processing sequence. As water flows back into the aquarium the flared design of the adjustable output nozzle disperses it in multiple directions, agitating the water and creating currents that help break down wastes and prevent them from settling. The Fluval FX5 ensures a continuous flow of pure, precisely treated water.
