How long do Fluval filters last?

Fluval filters can last for many years with proper maintenance and care. Fluval makes external filters, internal filters, hang-on-back (HOB) filters, canister filters, underwater filters, protein skimmers and more. To make your Fluval filter last, be sure to closely follow product instructions and change your filter media at the recommended intervals.

What order should my Fluval filter media be in?

Your Fluval filter media should be in the order specified for your product. The general rule for filter media order is that mechanical should come first, then chemical, then biological. If your filter uses both coarse and fine mechanical filtration, the coarse one should go first.

How often should I clean my Fluval filter?

You should clean your Fluval filter as often as the manufacturer recommends. Always check the product for detailed instructions on cleaning and care. Different filters require different maintenance routines, and the ideal frequency will vary depending on things like the bio-load of the tank, tank cleaning frequency, feeding amounts and what kind of filtration media you are using. Many aquarists recommend checking the filter at least once a month and cleaning or replacing media as needed. Always check your filter whenever you notice the flow rate has slowed or the water has become cloudy. Talk to an expert if you need further filter care guidance.
