  • Technically, we don't suggest in the video washing the ceramic biological media with tap whatever; however, we could have been more clear about not doing so. I'll make an annotation in the video to make sure it is more clear. Thanks for pointing it out!

  • U should rince the media but not in tap water as this vid shows use the old dirty tank water u don't whant to clean the media just remove particles that restrict water flow also never change the bio rings only change the carbon at least1ce a month

  • @megaman20002000

    yes, it will just be more noisy when water flows back into the tank because there may be some splashing.

  • @bakernade

    yes, to adjust it you move the black lever on the aquastop valve. all the way up allows no flow, all the way down allows maximum flow.

  • i had problem with the gasket on the204 once after a filter cleaning it leaked and on my other 204 we had apower failer with that the filter started leaking lost half the water before i noticed we were in the dark changed gaskets and no more leaks is there a maintaince to prevent that or any advice

  • This is a great filter, I have the 205 and haven't got 1 complaint, it's quiet and doing a brilliant job keeping my tank clean, my tetra air pump is making more noise than the filter.

  • @prowrestlingcarny Air bubbles will stop coming out of the output in the tank

  • how do you know the filter has filled back up with water

  • is the flowrate adjustable ?

  • clean it in using some water from the tank.do not use tapwater! crucial.

  • Fluval is washing filter media with tap water. Noobs.
