Does this canister filter come all ready to use? Has all the carbon and everything that go inide in it as well as the tubes that flow to the aquarium.

Yes, my recollection is that it came with everything. Still love this filter!
638807
Yeah it does come ready to use, carbon and media are included, my only issue is the tubes clogged with some white stuff pretty quickly and the tubes are a friggin pain to detach, that being said i dont think this filter is enough for a 55gal which is what i have but if its a bit smaller this thing should do ok.

Yes it comes complete with everything you need to start using it. Nothing more to buy for initial setup!
638809
Yes it does. There is nothing you need to buy. I would consider replacing the filter floss that comes with it though. Its not the greatest but does work...
638810
It comes with all the filter media you will need. Just rinse them and your ready to go.
638811
Yes - floss, carbon and ceramic rings.I may opt for not using the charcoal anymore and double-up on the ceramic or floss.

Yes everything needed to connect the filter to the pump is included in the box.

Probably since it comes with a filter cartridge and a basket for carbon granules..........also due to the large filtration capacity...take your pick as to what makes sense to you but it is an awesome filter and the only one I have used for years and years............

I have the G6 and it came with a standard prefilter and the chemical cartridge filled with Fluval fine charcoal. Make sure that you read up on all of the other types. The nitrate reducing ones are not to be used in Saltwater/Reef aquariums. Also, the chemical cartridge can be opened from one side so that you can empty it and refill it with your favorite media.

Hi - Yes, when I ordered mine, it came with the filter - everything I needed to replace the old unit. I hope this information is helpful!

No... Very efficient and very decent filter for the price. I run this on my 30 gal marine tank using the sponge it comes with, fluval carbon, seachem purigen and fluval bio max. My tank is always crystal clear and levels stay consistent

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

For Fresh water fish it works great and takes about 30 days before you would need to clean...also I would recommend that you add carbon filter into this canister as there is room in there as long as you remove one of the pads. : )

Yes Mrs Brooks, the primary charcoal/foam filter and the pleated Hepa filter were both in place when I unpacked my unit. All I had to do was read the instructions, plug it in and turn it on.

NO! I purchased it and the carbon filter is slightly longer and fits differently. I could not completely close the canister and water went everywhere. Unless I have a defective one, they don't fit.

Yes the filter is inside the canister, and it works well. I'm very pleased with the way it works and the efficency of it.

The filter as a filter is complete. Your individual needs regarding filtration in general are determined by your tank setup and population.

My filter was a single item and did come with the carbon cartridge and it is in its separate packaging but it is 'pre-assembled'. They are a bit pricey but I think the filter only needs to be replaced annually. Also, the hepa unit that I have is my second one. The first one lasted 7 years of being on 24/7 and I was very happy with it. I hope this helps. Good luck!

It is a complete setup. Some will say to add more filter media. But, out of the box, it is ready to go.I added some Purigen Packs in the top tier. Some I know will add some Bio Media every so often to keep building growth.the good thing is you can mix and match or add things and adjust. Also, please note it comes with Charcoal Packs for the top, I believe I heard after about a month's usage charcoal is basically finished.Hope that helps out.

Yes the tank had everything it needed to be filled right out of the box.. It's a great buy.. I would buy again from this company..

Carbon is not necessary for use in an aquarium unless you are using medication or have some sort of impurity. In a planted tank it may also pull out of the water necessary trace elements and nutrients that are needed by plants. The purpose of having a filter is to provide aeration and a place for biological media to be established so that it can process ammonia and nitrite.

Unfortunately, it does not come with the carbon filters. I just received mine today. That said, the one that I purchased is black in color. I am not sure if the color of the unit makes a difference as to whether or not the carbon filters are included.
