The FX2 boasts the same easy to use removable and stackable filter media baskets at the heart of Fluval’s FX multi-stage filtration. The baskets are precision-engineered to eliminate water by-pass, making filtration more efficient. The baskets can be stacked in the combination which best suits your aquarium requirements providing up to 5 stages of filtration for perfect aquarium water conditions. Each media basket is lined with a foam insert for effective mechanical pre-filtering. The instant-release T-handles make routine maintenance simpler by letting you lift and separate the baskets quickly and easily. While the FX2 Bio-Foam is thinner than traditional Bio-Foam, it features a rippled pattern that offers more surface area to efficiently trap debris and increase biological activity. This was specifically designed on account of the FX2’s smaller size.

Like its predecessors the Fluval FX2 also features Smart Pump Technology, which provides optimal filter performance. This advanced technological feature employs an electronic circuit board that continually monitors the pump, to ensure powerful output and energy efficiency. It also manages the filter’s unique self-starting feature – just add water then plug and play. To maintain efficiency the Smart Pump will pause on a 12-hour cycle to allow trapped air to escape ensuring the best filtration at all times.

Measuring in at 42m tall, the same height as FX4 the FX2 is 15% smaller overall allowing it fit perfectly into most aquarium cabinets.
