Fluval G3 and G6 Rim Connector Assembly with Suction Cups
The genuine mounting hardware that holds a G3 or G6 securely to the aquarium rim. This rim connector assembly is Fluval's replacement bracket and suction-cup set for mounting the G3 and G6 Advanced Filtration System to the side of the tank.
Will it fit my filter?
This is genuine Fluval part A20251, made for the Fluval G3 (A410) and Fluval G6 (A412) Advanced Filtration Systems. It is not designed for FX-series or 07-series canister filters, which mount differently.
Key features
- Complete assembly — the rim bracket and suction cups come as one set, so there's nothing extra to source.
- Secure rim mount — holds the filter steady against the tank rim, reducing vibration noise and the risk of the unit shifting.
- Easy to replace — clips onto the existing housing without needing to dismantle the filter body.
- Genuine fit — matches the G3/G6 housing exactly, unlike generic suction mounts that can leave the unit loose.

Symptoms this fixes
A filter that rattles, vibrates loudly, or has slipped from the rim usually has a worn, cracked or perished suction cup rather than a motor problem. Suction cups lose grip over time, especially on textured or scratched glass, so a rattling unit is often solved by this bracket alone.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for G3 or G6 owners whose filter is loose, noisy or has come away from the tank rim. Not suitable for internal or canister-style filters that don't mount externally on the rim.
Fitting
Clips onto the existing filter housing in place of the worn bracket — no tools required. Clean the aquarium glass where the suction cups will sit before mounting, as dust and algae film are the most common reason a new bracket still won't hold.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Fluval's standard replacement-parts warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Standard parcel delivery Australia-wide.
Common questions
My filter keeps sliding down the glass — is this the fix?
In most cases yes. Worn or dirty suction cups are the most common cause of a G3 or G6 slipping on the rim.
Do I need to remove the whole filter to fit this?
No. The bracket clips onto the existing housing without dismantling the internal filter components.
Will this fit an FX6?
No. The FX-series doesn't mount externally on the rim the way the G3 and G6 do, so it uses a different fitting system entirely.
