## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have a checkball?**
A: Hello,

This does not have a checkball inside.  The checkball's main purpose is to assist with priming the filter.  However, once your filter has been primed properly, the checkball is unnecessary. 

thank you,
Aquameta

**Q: Will this fit the fx6?**
A: Hello, this does not fit the FX series.  For FX series, we have a specialized design intake guard for it as well: https://a.co/d/hcNhk2g

**Q: Could you fit this on the FX4?**
A: Hello, 

This modem is designed for the Fluval 300/400 series canister filter and will not fit the FX series.

Thank you,

    Perfect fit, great flow, Mbuna fry safe
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on 23 April 2024*

This works great on my fluval 307. Doesn’t clog and restrict flow like a prefilter sponge. Holes are small enough for my Mbuna fry to not get through. Love it!
