Fluval 406

Pick something else ! Anything else ! A Rena XP4 for example, or an Eheim 2075 or 2078 (can be found for not a huge amount more via german websites like zooplus or aquaristic.net Another good make/model would be the JBL e1501.

Think Fluval, Think Vauxhall.
Think Rena/JBL, Think Audi.
Think Eheim, Think Mercedes.

(PS I have an Eheim 2078)
 
Nothing wrong with the 06 range in my opinion and I've had every filter possible including the 2078, the 2080 etc. zoo plus.de sell the 406 really cheap. But, for the same price as stated the jbl 1500 is worth that, and the eheims too if you want to stretch to that kind of money.

Ive ordered from both of the sites I mentioned and happy every time :)
 
I had a fluval 305 with two turtles and had it a year. Couldn't of wished for a better filter. Absolutely amazing. I know its not the 06 range but its fluvial and people don't like them. I wanna say I had two turtles with mine!

Top notch :)

There will always be good ones and bad ones of any brand/model. Its the numbers of bad ones as a percentage that make the difference though. In general, the better brands seem to have less problems than the cheaper ones. Fluval filter sales possible outnumber those of other brands in the same way as there are more vauxhall astras on the road than mercedes C63's (LOL). At the end of the day though, I know which I would prefer ;)

An Eheim Ecco or 2213/2211
Or a Tetratec EX400
Or a Dennerle mini external

the list could go on and on. Do you want a full canister style ?
 
Yes I would like it to be a canister so I can keep my tank empty and clean. Thanks for the list. I will see if these are external
