Fluval filter U1, U2, U3, U4 setup

I have Fluval U2 filter and I'm showing just how simple it is to set it up even with one hand, while I'm doing the video :)
It has 3 year warranty, it's completely silent, you can adjust the water flow, depending on the type of fish you have or the power of filtration you need. You can either use it in aquariums or terrariums. It has easy cleaning system: just flip it front and take out the foams, the bracket that holds the filter in place, stays inside the whole time. Enjoy it, I recommend it!
My tank is 10 gallons, but I like to have filter that is for a bit bigger tanks.

Never used internal filter before, may i ask why the top nozzle is able to create air bubble (that I want) while the middle and bottom are not?

I'm fed up with using air pump thats splash water to my light and wet my desk. Is it possible to use an internal filter in order to create aeration for my tank instead of air pump?

Thanks a lot.

@beavertown2006 HI! It it possible, just get the type of filter, that have a special attachment on top nozzle, which makes it possible to take air into the filter and later push it into the water. Why the middle and bottom nozzle can not produce air bubbles, is because they are both under the water. Hope this helps.

how do I use the venturi system, like how do i know how much air to put in?

@mrg00dstuff Hi! I put something in the middle, not too much and not too small :) Depends on the size of aquarium.

@solzica82 I've setup U2 filter, but only the top hole is actually bringing out water, the middle part and the bottom hole are doing nothing, did I do something wrong?

@mrg00dstuff Hi! Is possible you don't see the water flow from the middle and the low hole, try rotating the upper button and see if there is any movement in the water - try observing the plants or fishes. But if nothing is it possible that the pipe that brings water out is stuffed with dirt? When you try to rotate the button is there any dirt coming out?

how much is a u2 filter?

[doslos692]

@18TSTAR 100%... YES

[doslos692]

@frinner10 yes you can, but if you want bubbles, it needs to be slighly above the water level.

[crazy4lego]

@mrg00dstuff there is a knob at the top which is the flow selector. look a the manual for further info.

@18TSTAR

yes as an under-gravel filter has less flow, due to the gravel. so for mechanical filtration, yes, bio is as good, and carbon will work better. ease of use is higher too, as you can have a section of it above water, for easier filter changes. this is probably a better choice, as the output is not contaminated by the gravel (think of flying fish poo)

@frinner10

yes you can, but the venturi pump will not work. for the venturi pump, the valve should be 1" above water.

hello there,

first of all thx for the upload.

I have a question, can you put the filter fully under water?

nice vid,

Finn ^^
