Flow Rates
Fluval 05 series filters are available in four different models to accommodate aquariums of various
sizes, from the smallest home tank to the largest commercial setup. They offer an outstanding array
of filter choices for the hobbyist and professional aquarist alike.
The key to effective filtration is water circulation. The more water filtered per hour, the cleaner the
aquarium will remain. In addition, water circulation is necessary to continually replenish the supply of
oxygen in your aquarium. The faster a filter can "turn over" an aquarium's contents (completely
filtering the entire volume of water in the tank), the cleaner and more highly oxygenated the water
will be. Turnover rates are determined by a filter's volume and its flow rates.
Filter Area
The greater the filter media volume, the greater the mechanical efficiency and biological activity
that will occur in the filtration process. Fluval 05 Series filters have been designed to maximize
canister volume in all four models and to accommodate multiple filter media options, while at
the same time increasing the pathways through the canister to give water more contact time with
the media.
Pumping Power
The more powerful the motor, the faster it can work and the more water it can pump. Each Model
in the Fluval 05 filter series is powered by a motor engineered for top performance, complete
reliability, and maximum efficiency.
