Description
Sicce has been manufacturing industry-leading pumps for years. Recently, we challenged our engineers to develop a canister filter that offers exceptional value to customers without sacrificing quality or features. We asked them to create a filter that is whisper quiet, while also providing higher flow rates per watt of electricity consumed than any other unit currently available. The design they developed features a double- insulated pump wall and advanced rotor design—already in use on our existing pumps—to achieve that. They came up with a canister design that is compact, yet offers extremely high performance. Not satisfied to stop there, they also created a wide range of new media to ensure top performance. Sicce knows aquarium hobbyists like to customize canister filters for their individual application. The Whale padded media were created to do just that. We also made sure to include popular features like quick disconnects and a priming system. But we put the priming system in the intake, rather than in the lid of the canister, where it is a leak waiting to happen and poses difficulties when repair is attempted. Nothing relating to performance was overlooked, right down to our thick-walled, proprietary grey tubing and higher pressure locking clips. Visit your local dealer and check one out, you can even feel the difference quality makes.
The Whale—the ONLY canister filter worthy of the Sicce logo.
And by the way, our flow rates were determined using canisters filled with media and subjected to head pressure, not empty like many of our competitors.

I have been waiting to leave a review bcuz ive has such a horrible experience so far with this canister. Anyways ive had it about 6 months and if my power goes out it doesn't prime on its own like my fx4. I went to clean the canister and the where you release the tubes a plastic part came off and leaked all over my house. i had to bend the hose and clamp it for it to stop flowing. anyways im done with it waste of money. ill take my fx4 and fx6 anyday. close the valves and clean it and plug it back in.
Whale 500
Replaced 2 fx6 with 2 of the whale 500’s couldn't be happier extremely quiet and tank is crystal clear just like the other filters kept it but with zero noise
Works good great customer service
It works really good on my 50 gallon fish only salt water tank. I had some issues with the power head which the company took care of without delay or “issues.” I bought a 350 too.
really great for the price
gave this a 5 star for performance, great water flow
