Why consider this model?

  • A middle FX configuration for a compliant below-tank installation when its up-to-250-gallon ceiling, 1-gallon media baskets and built-in gravity drain are useful to the separate aquarium and service plan.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • The published capacity is an upper ceiling rather than a lower-and-upper range, and this broad, 16.5-inch-tall canister needs planned service clearance, a safe drain destination and disciplined hose routing.
