Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums running a Fluval 05, 06 or 07 series canister. Fluval notes that marine tanks without a surface overflow (a built-in weir that skims the top layer of water down to a sump) benefit most. Fluval lists it for the 05, 06 and 07 series only, so it is not for FX series canisters, AquaClear hang-on filters or other brands, and it does nothing without a compatible canister. More parts are in our Fluval spare parts collection.
Care and maintenance
Rinse the skimmer when you service the canister so the intake stays clear.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by your rights under Australian Consumer Law, in addition to any Fluval manufacturer warranty. Ships by standard parcel post.
