Well, we're stuck with this (cheesy) demo video of Fluval's new "revolutionary" canister filter, the Fluval G, in action. Unfortunately, our rep at Hagen said that the marketing dept. was locking down, and only shipping units to "preferred vendors" (retails stores) in mid-November, and that the filter isn't even going to be available online, at least initially. Well, we all know my opinion of local fish stores...so I won't be seeing this display in person.
Overall, although the electronics seem nice, the filter itself doesn't seem to have the capacity or capabilities that the Fluval FX5 does, in terms of filtering messy freshwater aquariums. Since canister filters are really only useful on freshwater aquariums, this does seem to be a possible waste of innovation on Fluval's part, as does the G's built-in salinity measuring Well, without further ado:
