FX6 Canister Filter versus Sump Filtration - Which is Better?

 2023-05-26 11:02:51   329 author:Kaity's Cichlids

In this video I compare a Fluval FX6 canister filter to sump filtration to give an in-depth run down on the pros and cons of each on my freshwater aquariums. I have a Waterbox Clearpro 7225 that has been running two Fluval FX6 canister filters for almost 24-months now, and a Waterbox Peninsula 7225 with a sump that has been running for about 9-months. These tanks are side by side in my house, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do a comparison between the two types of filters!
