Fluval MultiStage Filters
pumping technology and a versatile combination
of mechanical, biological and chemical filtering
capabilities. This versatility enables you to
customize your aquarium environment to meet
the specialized needs of your unique collection of
fish and aquatic plants. Your filter comes with
prepacked filter media that will work well for
most basic aquarium setups. However, you have
the option of selecting different media, or
alternative configurations of media, if you wish.
Because you have so much flexibility in selecting
and positioning media, you are able to control
water characteristics with far greater precision
than with traditional filters.
In addition, Fluval 05 Series Filters provide 35-
55% more volume than would be possible with
round canisters of the same outer dimensions.
Increased volume means a greater mass of filter
material and a larger filtration area. Fluval
Filters multiply this advantage by directing
water into complex flow paths for greatly
increased contact with filtration media.
The result? Maximum efficiency, reduced main-
tenance requirements, and the reliable flow of
pure, properly conditioned aquarium water.
The Fluval 05 Series filters offer several state-of-
the-art features to ensure reliable operation and
trouble-free maintenance. Media is packed into
filter baskets at the factory in the recommended
positions for basic filtration in order to save you
time and eliminate guesswork. The instant-
prime handle ensures startup ease. Plus, to
make maintenance quicker, the AquaStop valve
creates an air - and watertight seal so you can
disconnect hosing without breaking the vacuum
that will be necessary to resume operation
without priming. For added convenience, media
baskets are self-contained and interchangeable
so that media can be rinsed or replaced in each
one, independently of the others.
The intake assembly siphons aquarium water
and suspended debris in through its clog-proof
strainer. Water flows down through the foam

screen frame, which traps large particulate
matter. The filter's powerful pump then draws
the water up from the base of the unit through
the media baskets for the customized stages of
mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration
that have been designed through media choices
and placement. Filter media removes both waste
particles and liquid impurities and can also be
actively treated to change the water's chemical
characteristics. As water flows, it brings oxygen
into the system, feeding beneficial bacteria and
breaking down nitrogenous wastes. After
passing through all baskets, purified water
enters the impeller well to be pumped back into
the output hosing. As the output nozzle
disburses the water, it creates currents that help
break down wastes. All for a continuous flow of
pure water, custom treated for a healthy,
thriving aquarium environment.
