The Fluval FX5 is a large capacity, multi-stage external canister filter system. 607 U.S. Gal. (2,300 L)/H, enabling precise management of water conditions for aquariums as large as 400 U.S. Gal. (1,500 L).

When using on your 29 gallon, just turn the OUT-take valve to a level where the water is not whirling around but the surface of the water is visually moving. Never turn the IN-take valve down because that can damage your impeller.
