Its massive capacity and powerful integrated motor
processes and re-circulates fully 563 US gallons
(2130 liters) of water every hour, enabling you to
precisely manage water conditions for aquariums as
large as 400 US gallons (1500 liters) with a very low
power consumption. Thanks to the extendable intake
tube, the filter can be adjusted to fit most aquariums
on the market. It will hold up to 1.5 gallons (5.9
liters) of media, yet it's compact enough to fit under
almost any aquarium cabinet. With Fluval's unique
Smart Pump technology, this self-priming system
offers plug-in-and-start convenience. Upon start-
up the canister fills with water, pauses to evacuate
air, immediately begins the filtering process, and
continues filtering until it is unplugged. Once every
12 hours, the filter will pause again to evacuate
any air that has become trapped in the system–to
maintain the total vacuum necessary for maximum
efficiency.
