Fluval G Series Canister Filters

Matt Rogers · 09-12-2009, 11:08 AM

Lots of buzz this week on the new Fluval G series canister filters that are hitting the trade show circuit. These new filters are the result of over 3 million dollars in research. What does that get you? The ability to clean filter chambers without turning off the filter and a monitor that displays temperature, flow rate, conductivity in real and historical formats to name a few. More to follow as 3reef will be getting up close and personal with the Fluval G Series soon..

Fluval G Series Canister Filters

The Fluval G3 filter is rated for aquariums up to 80 gallons and has a flow rate of 180 gallons per hour with a power consumption of only 17 watts. The Fluval G4 filter is rated for aquariums up to 160 gallons and has a flow rate of 264 gallons per hour at only 28 watts.

I like this filter but for the price i dont see it being used a lot. For the price of this i can install a sump and skimmer on any tank

Well now. ... doesn't that just change everything. .. ?

I've kinda strayed from canisters b/c of the tedium involved in changing media, floss, etc. We all know that a tedious task is one that becomes eventually neglected. What this hobby really needs is a central place to easily access media for maintenance and changing. Come to think of it, the ability to graph trends over time is immensely valuable. Fluval might be on to something here!!

Great post, Matt!
