Discover the new breed of canister filters with Fluval’s 05 Series. Designed to use the entire canister space, waterflow is noticeably increased for optimum filtration efficiency. The chemical and biological media are housed in independent modules, so you can change what you want, when you want. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to AquaStop, which stops water without disconnecting hoses, meaning no leaks, no mess. Lift-lock clamps ensure a tight-fitting lid, yet they release easily so you can simply lift off the lid. No manual siphoning required thanks to self-priming Instant Prime technology. Also features an updated intake strainer, pre-assembled parts, and pre-packed media for complete ease-of-use.
The filter got to us on time for a great price. Assembled easily and supplies good flow in tank. Using on a 50 gal very populated tank, filters seem to need cleaning more than I expected. Also clogged once that brought flow to a halt after only 1.5 weeks of service.
Overall a good mechanism for assemble and disassemble, except lid needs to be pried off instead of having a lever system (?)
I just got the 405 about 2 months ago and I have no complaints. This filter is quiet, easy to use and it makes the water in my 130 crystal clear. I love my aqua clear HOB filters but the fluval 405 is steadfast becoming my favorite despite it’s high price. PLUS my cichlids love the extra current
Not: I didn’t get it from amazon or any online site so I have no comment on the shipping.
This was worth the money! It’s quiet, cleans incredibly well!
Easy to clean and simple to use right out of the box.

i dont know what the last person is talking about but this new 405 filter is amazing i had the 403 before (and if you know the brand you know it was the round filter that was the biggest pain in the butt ever) i just upgraded because my 403 finally gave out (it was actually the 2nd we had of the 403) and this filter is amazing and so easy to use and seems to be more powerful even though its the same strength ..
