Fluval FX6 User Manual

5. Prepare the Filter
1. Loosen and disengage the eight 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 three media baskets from the filter canister. The T-handles
will fall outward so the baskets can be handled separately.
INSTALLATION AND USE
4. Rinse baskets and media materials under running tap
water to remove any dust, and place media in baskets. Or,
if you prefer, select other media of your own choosing.
5. Place rinsed and filled media baskets back in canister. Make
certain that each kind of media is positioned at the same
level it was packaged
in, unless you are
deliberately choosing a
different filtration plan
than the recommended setup. NEVER overfill baskets. Leave at
least 0.5 in. (1cm) free space on top of the media, so the baskets
will fit together properly.
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 bottom basket for
these filtering media.
