The Fluval G (and Edge tank) continues to be the most read story on Tank Gadget. It was a very successful launch and the Hagen marketing team should get a big pat on the back for making it so.

Fluval G Teaser

That teaser way back in June 2009 was genius!

I’d like to thank Hagen for keeping us all interested and for making my job easy with so many updates. Not to mention the props they give us on thier blog.

Have any of you geeks been lucky enough to get one? Post your impressions or send us a full review and we’ll post it for you!

Special Thanks to Fluval G Web Supporters

News of the Fluval G Series started leaking out in July of this past summer. With the infamous blue glow “teaser” site up at Fluval-G.com, fishkeepers around the world were lighting up the online message boards, forums, blogs, Twitter, and Facebook.

Since then, the G Series has received more attention online and in stores than any other new aquatic product in recent memory. We’d like to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to a number of Aquatic blogs and sites that followed the launch of the Fluval G. You can check out their coverage in the links below:

Fluval offers first video of the Fluval G in action

Marc — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:19:22 +0000

Fluval is showing off a live action video of the G line! No more stills, no more blurry mystery pictures. This one moves! OK, the filter doesn’t move much, but it’s actually working. You get a good close up of the control panel as well.

Hop on over to the Fluval Blog to see additional info.

Fluval G’s new vid

The Fluval G site has blessed us with a new video outlining some more great features of the new G series of aquarium filters.

Fluval G3 and G6 Aquarium Filters

Featuring the new Hydrotech monitoring system this filter will keep your equipment performance information right in front of you.

I love how it tells you “Low Flow , read the instructions man!”

Low Flow Warning on Fluval G Filter

Check out the new video at http://www.fluval-g.com/. It’s not up on Youtube yet so I cant linky to it here.

Fluval G info…again!

Marc — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:18:25 +0000

Hagen is making my job easy. Fluval just keeps pumping out information and tidbits to post about!

The Fluval Blog has brought us a bunch of new stuff from wallpapers for your computer (I like the third one) to design information and how they came up with the ideas.

I can’t wait to hear what people think. I may have to buy one just because!

Fluval G website update with details!

Marc — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:33:49 +0000

The dedicated website for the Fluval G now includes some real details to give us even more about this upcoming filter.

Broken down into sections here is an idea what you will see.

Design explains why it looks like it does. Why? Because it looks good. They wanted it to look good and it works. Again, it’s a filter box you will want to set out beside your tank, not hidden under it.

Simplicity tells us that the easy access to the cartridges makes this the simplest and cleanest filter available. Don’t those cartridges look good?

Hydrotech explains why it’s a good idea to have a flashy LCD display outside your aquarium filter. And when it displays things like flow rate, conductivity and water temperature, who would argue?

Compact shows that smaller is better. The cartridges get rid of the traditional foam blocks and are replaced with something that resembles a hepa filter. A pleated media providing more surface to catch the nasties and making it easier to rinse.

So there you go, a few more deets to tweet and digg. Go ahead, dig and tweet.

You may be asking why we are covering this so much. Because it’s Cool! really, no other reason.

New Video from Fluval for Fluval G series filters!

Marc — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:27:46 +0000

Fluval continues to whet our appetite for this very cool looking filter by giving us an even more detailed (leaving nothing to the imagination) look at the G series.

Click here to view the embedded video.

In this video we see a glossy black box (2 sizes, the G3 and the G6) with a blue hi-res LCD and molded buttons (for water resistance!). The modules inside are of many colors making it easy to identify what’s what.

With the following notice, I now await even more details!!!

With its sumptuous gloss black finish, aluminum detailing and cool blue backlit display, the Fluval G Series will re-wire people’s perceptions for good. No longer will the humble filter need to be hidden away in a cabinet. Fluval G demands to be out on display as the ultimate aquarists’ accessory.

Great news! Big updates going on over at Fluval-G.com. The second video trailer has been released and some new pictures and product descriptions to follow tomorrow morning!

Fluval G display

Hmm, another hint at the Fluval G

Marc — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:01:01 +0000

On the Fluval G website on the right it shows a peek at what the website will look like.

If you open the image of the screenshot in a new window it ENLARGES so you can get a better look at it! Sneeky folks at Fluval knew I’d do that and fuzzed out the images!!!

So as you can see, the sections are (as far as i can read from the fuzzy text below the images)

1. Hydrotech (for the fuzzy display)

2. Superior (under the fuzzy filters)

3. System Overview (under the fuzzy filter head)

4. Filtration (under some other fuzzy part..looks like the fuzzy in/out plumbing)

So there you have it, more peeks into the secret life that is to be Fluval G

Fluval Blog and Fluval G Video

Marc — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:32:39 +0000

Fluval has brought us a bit of technology in the past few days. I received an update from them to inform us of a new Blog and a new video! How exciting!

Fluval’s blog will inform us of new developments, news and informationon thier growing product line. The design is very nice and easy to navigate. Hop over to fluvalblog.com to check it out.

Fluval also has given us a sneak peak at the upcoming Fluval G filter. This looks like it will be their flagship filter with what looks like a new set of cartridge media and a digital display. What wil the display tell us, we can only guess. Perhaps when its time to change cartriges, maybe a PH reading? (dreaming i know)

The Fluval G site also tells us that we can expect a new video soon!

Check yout the video!

What is Fluval G?

Marc — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:43:43 +0000

Oooo…The Mystery.

What can we tell by this picture.
Well, Fluval is typically a filter. The blue glowing light shows that it is a cyborg or some other type of artificial-intelligence. The glow around it shows unequivocally that it is most likely holy.

OK, we can’t tell anything, but in October we shall know all!
