Hagen Fluval Filter 04 Series Review

fluval_filters DESCRIPTION
The Fluval External Canister Filter provides complete filtration for your aquariums. The modular design allows for quick and easy maintenance while the multiple filter media baskets allow the use of various filter media. The Fluval 04 series incorporates twin mechanical foam filter screens which efficiently trap waste and debris for cleaner water. In addition, they help to enhance the performance of all filter media.

The Aqua-Stop allows for quick and convenient connection/disconnection of the filter hosing from the filter canister. The ribbed opaque hosing bends and turns easily without kinking. This makes installation and removal easier while supporting better water flow. The Fluval 204 MSF External Canister Filter has a self priming feature which makes it quick and easy to start.

Available size:
Fluval 104 for tank up to 100 Liters (25 U.S. Gal.)
Fluval 204 for tank up to 200 Liters (40 U.S. Gal.)
Fluval 304 for tank up to 300 Liters (70 U.S. Gal.)
Fluval 404 for tank up to 400 Liters (100 U.S. Gal.)



REVIEW
I currently use all types of Fluval filter for work. If you are looking for a great filter for your freshwater tank, this is what you need. They are well constructed, easy to clean and they can fit lots of media which mean strong nitrogen cycle and a healthy tank. They are a little expensive but it’s nothing if you think at all the advantage. Since Hagen came up with the new 05 series, the Fluval 04 is much cheaper!
Always keep extra motor seal rings on hand, because they do leak. Most leaking problems occur after a cleaning.
One thing I really hate about those filters is the gunk that dislodges from the hoses and end up in my tank when I clean the filter and restart the siphon.
My Fluval still work well after up to 5 years.
