Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to cut to size and flexible. Easy to install. My only complaint is how thin the line is between the ribbing.
Lowes has 20foot pond hose better then original fx6 hose for 20. Perfect fit for my filter and cheaper than the store.
Fluval fx4/fx5/fx6 ribbed hosing stands out due to its quality and durability. The tubing is an excellent choice for larger tanks as it maintains its shape and maximizes water flow. My setup now has tight hose * on every rubber connector.
Cons
Hose fits over the barbs but the locking screw will not turn down over hose securely. Purchased new from amazon in may 2018, woke up to it leaking out of a small hole january 2020.
Highlights
Quality
The tubing is an excellent choice for larger tanks as it maintains its shape and maximizes water flow.
Great quality product, very strong and durable.
The rubber ends fit all sorts of mismatched sized connectors where greedy manufactures design products to use only their connectors.
After the filter is cleaned and a more powerful stream is produced, large amounts of the trapped material can be ejected into the tank.
Price
Perfect fit for my filter and cheaper than the store.
Way too expensive for what they are.
I do not want to use an oem product if i can use the original product at a reasonable cost.
This was a good deal all worked out in they end very happy customer
Shipping
Amazon came through and this new hose did the job perfectly.
It arrived quickly and was the exact replacement for what came in the box.
I bought this for my fx6, my tank is 8 ft tall with stand and canopy, so the line they sent i couldn't cut in half as per reccomendations.
I received it in the timely manner that it was said.
Competitiveness
I have tried other variants from major box stores (which is cheaper, thicker, and you get more length) however they all leaked.
It is superior to generic hosing and comparable to other premium brands like eheim and sunsun.

Same hose that comes with canister

Wish it was not robbed on the inside so it didn’t collect so much stuff inside but didn’t want to deal with matching up a different smooth hose
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
A little tough to make the tight bends required to fit it into the clamps on the top of the tank walls youll need to apply a good amount of firm pressure
