Description
This extra prefilter traps the majority of coarse dirt particles, even before the water reaches the external filter. Its base rests securely on the bottom of the aquarium. The water is drawn in all round, over a wide surface area, through the modular filter baskets which can be filled with filter media and easily cleaned and replaced. For cleaning, you simply remove the filter baskets. This is a very good accessory for shrimp baby protection.
Features:
- Traps coarse dirt particles in the filter baskets avoiding premature clogging of the external filter media
- This means the biological decomposition process in the external filter is significantly lengthened and service intervals are longer
- Water is drawn in through the gravel base via the detachable (Easy Klick) filter baskets which are easily cleaned
- All round suction for a gentler filtration
- Consists of 2 filter baskets with filter cartridges
- Fixing with telescopic pipe in place of the intake pipe
- Extendable if required; fits InstallationsSET 1
- For all EHEIM external filters (apart from professionel 3e and classic 1500XL)

Pro tip- with the help of our best buddy, Mister Hacksaw, you can connect this to part of the intake tube that is attached to the Fluval FX6 cannister filter. That intake is too long for a smaller tank, and it also doesn't filter out sand, which can damage the impeller of a cannister filter, and make it really noisy to boot.Why did I give it 4 stars, then?EHEIM WHY DID YOU MAKE IT GREY??? Look at it! It's so ugly! It sticks out like a sore thumb! If it were black, it'd blend in to the background way better, like the other stuff, but no. No, you had to make it GREY. Don't do that! Why would you do that? It's so ugly!I am going to have to plant a bunch of tall plants in a ring around it (obviously this tank doesn't have it's hardscape finished, and maybe not so obviously, it's gonna be a planted tank,) close enough to hopefully hide it, and far enough away that the leaves will hopefully not get plastered to the intake.But yeah, it'll save your cannister. It will just look really ugly doing it.
As an owner of a large red eared slider, HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?This should be a required purchase for all turtle owners. Just upgraded from a fluval 305 in a 75 gallon to an FX6, this pre filter, and the eheim skimmer. What have I been doing with my life? Iâm going to to clean the FX6 like once or twice a year. Honestly why didnât I think of something like this? Why did I go so many years letting my filter get clogged with all variety of large detritus that could easily have been caught by this thing.Buy it now.
Works great at keeping my shrimp/loaches out of the canister filter. One kuhli loach would always find his way into the canister, not anymore!Only downside is it can clog & slow the flow going though the canister filter, when doing water changes be sure to remember & clean these prefilters.
An awesome prefilter, and necessary for fry tanks.
Well i have tried it with my Eheim 450e Canister, Unfortunately, the suction power weakened and there was a discrepancy in the filter readings, and it is hard to clean it each time when i change water, especially because it is placed next to the gravel.
