no does not come with any control only lock water flow to disconnect hoses ... plug n play
So after spoke with the fluval guys .. They told me to mail pictures of my system and issues very nice on the phone and very quick .. But that was all .. Never got any answers back they got scared of my videos i guess lol ...
fx6 Xmas version lol

...
look like I have an airstone underneath the intake lol...
water leak noise that comes from the top of the filter ...
So today i realized something fx6 have the same problem of the little brothers ... After solved yup can be the top filters ... But it's sucks ...... I do have my own trick and workout for the fx6 too .. But it's a struggling task to do .. Now my fx6 it's running like a beast no noise at all no bubbles at all just as supposed to be ...
So i have an ultra high tech system here i did on my own and i'm opening a from for that today .. Ppl will call me crazy but it's running perfect... A lot of red purple and all types of green ...i have my set up now like this .... 2x fluval 305 bio media n foam 1x fx6 all bio media and foam top baskets purigen and phosguard. 432w system but don't run all at same time peak of 314w .. 3 different spectrums .. With many time presets... As moon light sunset sunrise day moon light and baking sun 314w.. And 1 cp2 just to make an extra flow ... All that on a 90 gallons lol soon will on a 125 g .. No co2 all tank 100% natural.. Just could beat the sun lights lol ...
Fixing your fx6 and other fluval as 305 405 .... ... Fill with water till the top .. Close that put hose back ...
305 405 # turn on lot of bubble now will choke few times# than will choke fill times during the day ... # if not starting use the same process get the filter put on top of a little bucket like a bathroom trash can this around 12 inches... Now tilt the fluval towards the intake so the top air trap leaves from the outtake return to regular position slowly to make sure water keep on same flow and filling the fluval with water till the top lean back works well also ....
Fx6 # huge mf to play with lol do the same ..turn on tilt him towards all side kinda shaking a little . Turn off let the cycle complete # he stated for 2 min stop for 2min than start again .... Do that 2x ... After that mine was working well no noise no air trap noise more .... Tilt hard ...
Fluval filters on my opinion have a problem the top cap don't stay flat with the inside water .. So create a little room for air trap .. .. But i still love them ...i didn't returned the fx6 once i fixed on my own .. But it's frustrating for that type of $ that you spending....
