Cleaning Fluval FX6 after 6-months on my African Cichlid Tank!

In this video I give my Fluval FX6 canister filter a clean after 6-months on my Lake Malawi aquarium! Each time I show this process people really seem to enjoy it, so I figured I would give you a more updated video. However, this time I will also be adding some Seachem Purigen into my filter to help get the water nice and clear. I will show you the before and after of the Purigen.

If you're interested in my other African Cichlid tank, I recently uploaded a video on taking down my rainbow fish river scape, and setting up my Tanganyikan Cichlid hard scape:
