Fluval FX6 - My African Cichlid Tank Filtration, Cleaning and Maintenance

In this video I show the filtration setup I have on my African Cichlid tank, which has been running for about 12-months now. I have two Fluval FX6 canister filters on my aquarium (630L/166gal aquarium) which consists of a mix of ~20 Lake Malawi cichlids (peacocks, haps, and mbuna).

I discuss/show the following:

0:41 - About the FX6 and my tank maintenance;
1:40 - How to drain a FX6 canister filter;
8:20 - How a FX6 filter works;
9:06 - How I setup my media and the types of filtration I use;
12:54 - How I clean the media;
17:53 - How to restart the filter.

Throughout the video I also more generally discuss what I like/don't like about the filters.

I hope that you find this video helpful and enjoy it! If you do, I would love for you to give it a like, and comment down below what you think.
