hey guys i was looking at fluvals newest addition the G series
chek it out www.fluval-g.com/index_e.php

These look like nice filters and Fluval ALWAYS has my vote, but... That being said, These are smaller filters for smaller tanks.

I just can't see spending that kind of money on anything but an FX5. You get 10 times the filter for less cost!

If you read the specs on these 2 filters the G6 will work on a max of an 80 gallon Oscar tank.... That for most of us is a SMALL tank!

I hope they keep trying!

I love fluvals but as nicksue says, the FX5 filter bigger tanks

Yeah this sort of technology will move over to the bigger filters in time tho nicki.
Not that its really needed. like you say an Fx5 is a great filter.

But they are sure nice to look at haha =)

that is true niki but staffi has my vote i am buying a fx5 in a month
due to my aqua one is getting loud might get t serviced and give it to the
parents on there 3ft goldfish tank as they only have a small internal
but the g series are nice to look at they dont need to be hiddin under tank
buttttttt if they had the fetures of a g series on a fx5 everyone would have a nice filter nut the g series is so god dam dear lol

Before you go ahead and buy the FX5 for your 6x2x2, have a look at the EHEIM ProIII series. I have a 2080 and can recommend it for its huge media capacity/efficiency which to me is more important than outright horsepower. For my 850 litre tank it was down to the FX5 and the 2080.

Im sure the FX5 is a good filter also but in my research of the 2 at the time, there were far more negatives towards the Fluval than the Eheim. IMO it was well worth the extra price premium, still going strong and is whisper quiet.

FLUVALS FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!! *flys small FLUVAL flag* jumping round the room LOL

lol @ staffi
i wiull keep that in mind aus-car =]
