IMPORTANT:
Hosing should follow a straight path from the filter to the
aquarium rim, with no slack and no loops. If the hosing is too long, the filter
will not work efficiently (the maximum length of the hosing is 6.5 ft / 2 m).
•
Place the valve end of the hosing at the approximate spot where it
will be positioned on the filter lid (once the filter is installed).
•
Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the "intake"rim bracket.
•
At a spot at least 6" / 15 cm beyond the aquarium rim, use a utility
knife to cut the hosing. Do not cut it too short. Remember, you can
always cut it shorter during final installation, if necessary.
3. Push the cut end of this "intake" hosing into the rubber connector on the
intake tube. Push the hosing in by at least 1" / 2.5 cm without twisting it.
4. Place the intake strainer in the tank, making sure it is at least 3" / 7.5 cm from
the bottom. Adjust the intake tube for the best extension for your aquarium,
respecting the 3" / 7.5 cm from the bottom rule. Once the intake strainer is properly positioned, lock it in place by pressing the suction
cups against the glass.
5. Fasten the intake strainer's hosing onto the rim connector using the three rim connector clips.
5. Prepare output connections
1. Connect the hosing to the second valve (Just as for the intake hosing):
•
Loosen the second metal clamp, and slide it onto the factory-finished end of the hosing
(not the cut end).
•
Push the end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as it will go.
•
Position the metal clamp over the rubber connector, and tighten.
2. Measure and cut the hosing. Again, you will need a length of hosing that reaches comfortably from inside
the aquarium to the filter canister.
IMPORTANT:
Hosing should follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with no slack and
no loops. If the hose is too long, the filter will not work efficiently.
•
Place the valve end of the hosing at the approximate spot
where it will be positioned on the filter lid (once the filter

•
Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the "output"rim bracket.
•
At a spot at least 6" / 15 cm beyond the aquarium rim,
use a utility knife to cut the hosing. Do not cut it too short.
Remember, you can always cut it shorter during final installation,
if necessary.
3. Push the cut end of this "output" hosing into the rubber connector of
the output nozzle. Push the hosing in by at least 1" / 2.5 cm without
twisting it.
4. Place the nozzle in the tank about 1" / 2.5 cm below the water line.
5. Fasten the hosing to the "output" bracket using the three rim connector clips.
6. Prepare the filter
1. Loosen and
disengage all
lid fasteners.
2. Remove the filter
lid and set it aside.
Be careful not to
damage the inlet stem
connected to the lid.
3. Using the red
T-handles, lift the
media baskets from the filter canister. The T-handles will fall outward so the baskets can be handled separately. The images
below are referred to FX2-FX4; FX6 has an additional basket.
4. Rinse baskets, media trays and media materials under running tap water to remove any dust, and place media back in their original
position. Or, if you prefer, select other media of your own choosing.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent particles from entering the impeller chamber, blocking and/or damaging the impeller, all loose granule filter
material (Carbon, Zeo-Carb, Ammonia Remover, Peat Granules, etc.) must be placed in a filter media bag. Please use the bags at the
