- Fluval Edge 6 gallon: Unboxing and Setup
Want one? Here is a link amzn.to/2d9SO4A
A co-worker decided to buy the Fluval Edge and I agreed to set it up for him. Since it was all new in the box I went ahead and made an unboxing and set up video. So if your curious about the 6 gallon version of the edge check it out. You can only have so many aquariums so it was nice to put this together for him. It will sit a whole 6 feet from my office so I will get to enjoy it and bring you updates on it as well. Note this is the older version of the Edge and I do mention that.

I was reaserching getting a new fluval tank and this was the top suggested video still 9 years later! Thanks Sean for setting this tank up for me all those years ago and continuing to make great videos.
Thanks Pecktec for your generosity! I look forward to working with this tank.
We are looking at setting up our first aquarium and your videos are fantastic. They are easy to watch and straight forward. Thank you for teaching us. Look forward to watching many more.
I always thought they were cool aquariums, but I can't believe how small the opening is!
Very nice. You have a good eye for setting up the scope of how things should flow in a small tank. It did look really nice on Spencer's desk. 👍😎😊
This video saved me. The directions that come with the Fluval Edge do not clearly show you how to hang the filter on the back of the aquarium or hide the filter chord so that it is not wedged between the lid and the aquarium. This was the best!
I was thinking about buying this tank as a good starter but decided against it...the small opening in the top would drive me nuts!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I can't have a tank with a little opening like that...it would be impossible to clean properly. Its a stupid design.
It should work fine, the hole isn't that tiny and most of the algae should be gone with a magnet scrubber.
Same. Just thinking about catching fish in that would be so hard.
I have one. It can be annoying but the the upside is that the filter is AMAZING. Works so powerfully
Moto head hey I was wondering how much did you pay for the tank and where did you find it I
Nice piece of drift wood. Fluvals are so cool
Very good tutorial on doing the plants. Never knew I needed to keep the Riarhizome above the sand (I always buried it, doh). Thanks!
"And we have instructions"
*throws them to the side*

_Aint nobody got time fo' dat_
Outstanding! Very creative design - thanks for stepping us through.
Nice video. Always liked the look of the fluval edge. Nice to finally see how it works. Greay simple aquascape too.
"maneuvering in this hole is a bit of a challenge" what he really means "This hole is THE BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS!"
Really nice. Turned out beautiful. Can't wait to get mine...
Nice tank and set up, didn't know they made 6 gallon tanks. Very nice loved it 😊
Just discovered pecktec last week so i am making my way through the videos! Thanks for all the great content my fellow hobbyist!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the comprehensive video. I just purchased an Edge at a discount store, and I’m trying to do plenty of research before setting it up.
Oh I just reached the end - you did such a great job and it looks really stunning !
+musicalmarion wow thanks!
Thanks! It is nice and cycled and he is fish shopping now. He also swapped for the LED plugin lights.
you are a true artist. very nice to see what you made of this small tank. creating someting beautiful with a little space ☺
Thanks! my newer scapes are a bit better be sure to check them out.
Hello sweetie!!! I just bought an edge. Had to come here for some ideas I’m thinking just a shrimp tank. I do like the pea puffer too.
Thanks so much Buddy! you are so patient and explain everything just perfect! loved it Happy New year from the UK x
Thanks!
Thanks for your straight forward approach , I have been able to learnt a great deal.
James Hamilton-Bird Awesome thanks for the comment!
I like the look of that tank and your Aqua Scaping is 😎 👍👍cool. unboxing too.thanks
Man this is awesome aquascape... wish it didn't need rescue 😂. Thank you for yet another great video 📹
I just ordered Fluval Chi.....I'm so exited...!
Thank you for showing us how you unbox the product and make it work . Hopefully Fluval made a wider opening , so that it will not be hard to clean
Tank looks great.
Looks beautiful
I have 2 of them, and love 'em both! Gorgeous, easy to keep clean (it is small, just a few minutes), and well worth it (but maybe just to me :))
Keeping the well maintained is the key for sure. But that's true with any tank.
So true, all the difference in the world! :)
Missy Lowe There Like £150 Over Here Each So I Wont Be Getting One Any Time Soon ;) But Maybe I Hope XD
i don't like a tank i can't use my gravel vac to create a seal on the bottom, this just screams your vac is going to be on an angle, unless you have a super tiny one.
@@missylowe7804 still good?
That actually came together rather well.
I bought Fluval Edge on last week, because in warehouse where i work this is the best aquarium! And thank's for this video its a good instruction for the first use Fluval Edge) (sorry for my bad english)
awesome video!!!! i have the same tank and im loving it!!
Very informative. My tank is due tomorrow, so I have a good idea of how to proceed
Great job and video.
great job and thanks for doing the video
I am hopefully getting the fluval edge 46l today! It will be my 7th tank 😁
Love it! I bet Spencer does too! Looking forward to the update and seeing the fish, etc. I am really enjoying my Edge but have learned I have to be part contortionist to do much of anything through that little hole. Thanks for another great video with good tips. I posted a brief and very amateur video of mine if you'd like to take a look.
I like the look of this.
thank you ive learned a lot from your videos.
best starter tank ever I could never
Nice looking tank
I found a fish tank in my back garden a few years back and I just found out that it was this model! It didn't have the filter or lights but I used it as a danio tank and got a new filter for it. I always wondered why someone would make a tank with such a small opening since it was quite inconvenient but now I know!
Thanks. Interesting vid. I just got one of these tanks and hope to set it up tomorrow.
Great. I have a bunch of stuff on the 12 gallon also which is pretty similar.
I took a look. Very informative. Thanks.
Haha good old Garageband! Oh, and thanks for the review!
Ha! I have worn that app out. It's neat to make your own music though. Even if it not so great. :)
Awesome haha keep an eye out, I may be starting a channel using Garageband! Thanks again
You can cut it anywere along the stem. Make sure you have a few leaves on both the cut pieces
This could be really good as a planted shrimp tank
Just ended a year with this as cherry shrimp and they bred like CRAZY. Moved them back to my bathroom “Shrimp Bowl” (sounds delicious) and just torn it down to reboot with FISH. It made a great look, but I really couldn’t enjoy anything else in the tank or it would be a free buffet lol
I love how pretty this tank is. I had one but there were 2 problems. The opening is too small and once the lights go out they r hard to replace without replacing the entire part and I'm not sure how that is done. Ended up trashing mine.
Tiz a beautiful thing.
love it!
I can be, keep it away from windows for sure! Great for an office though where not natural light gets to it.
After close to 40 years in fishkeeping, this and the fluval CHI were my only purchases last summer. Sold or gave away ALL my shit from lighting systems to 55 gals and moved from a house to a condo. NANO tanks were never on my radar, but with the accumulated years of experience, I figured I got this. I LOVE THIS TANK!!!!! Thanks for the quick and dirty aquascaping Peck. I simply duplicated it easily after digging through a box of old aqua stuff, finding the perfect driftwood.
Everything looks Great! Bought the exact same BURNT ORANG3 to match my bedroom and maan does it pop! Of course sinc3 it’s the old model, I ended up with halogen, but I upgraded to the LED Bulbs. Thinking about buying the LED BAR - wondering if that migh5 be too bright (42 LED) an ruin the cool rustic groove on this…. Comments?
I liked the light bar in the 12 gallon version a lot.
"And we have instructions" *throws away*.
Haha gold!
Ha! thanks I actually crack myself up doing that.
Love the rubberband :P
I read that in a book. In the wild they grow up rocks on waterfalls.
That turned out beautifully, I think want to get one now, maybe stick my Clown killie fry in there
Nice tank
Very nice 👍
You have a good eye for aquascaping.
Omg the perfectionist inside me is dying when he first puts the tank on unevenly
+Hannah Jones Sorry about that.
Hi Pecktec, Thanks for posting this video on maintenance for the Fluval Edge 12 gallon. I just set one up a couple weeks ago and have been adding some low-moderate light plants: Anubias and Java Fern on driftwood, and Undulata planted in fluorite (the only substrate I used in this system). I wanted to add some floating plants (wisteria and dwarf water lettuce) and have kept the water level below the top glass -- do you think enough light will reach across the entire top surface for these floating plants?
Right now 8 and working on 9. I also help with this one and another one at work which is the five gallon for the other edge video :).
nice step by step wolverine :)
It's had some wicked algee growth. I'm not maintaining it ( it's a coworkers). I may have to film a make over.
amazing setup.. subbed ya
nice tank
good tips and tricks! :)
Thanks bub!
Nice!
beautiful plant attached to the bog wood
Love this video
+Adam Sean dubstep very cool thanks. It's getting pretty old now.
Love how you through that instruction manual, Like a Boss
Lmao.
Yes its now a running gag.
It can be but mostly because you don't ever want to skip a week of water changes. If things go bad they go bad pretty quick. But that being said all I ever do is scrape the glass trim plants back and change 20% of the water. so about 10 minutes a week.
Nice aquascaping! I love it! I bought the same tank few years ago; does your top lid have issue with rust? How can you prevent that? Thanks :)
i like it!
Cleaning the tank and trimming plants seems like it would be a pain in the ass with that small opening on the top. Also if you decided to restart the tank with new substrate it would be hard to get the old stuff out. Looks cool though.
there is really only 2 things i like about this tank, and only one of them was designed by fluval, i like how the water can go right to the top of the tank, cause it's encased. and i do love them aquaclear filters. but the rest of the tank is a nightmare.
good video
I purchased one of these about a year ago. Like you said in one of your other videos: it is very hard to maintain and capture fish because of the tiny opening on top. You have a larger version (which is taller, in your other video) and that one is probably easier than the 6 gallon Fluval to get a net into.
I find it so frustrating to get a normal sized net to maneuver around this tank! I also found the filter's waterfall disturbing my substrate because of the low profile (especially when the water level decreased).
Lastly, the "old" version of lightbulbs, are actually quite dangerous. They get VERY hot and I found myself accidentally burning myself when I would lift the hood for maintenance.
They are very cheap, as you said, I got mine on sale for $100 I think.
I totally agree. If you get one of these tanks the twelve isnt bad but the six is a pain.
Felt like you where opening an Apple Computer box. That is well done packaging.
20:12 that's what she said
wow! so original!
Hahahahahahahaha I just died
Same with 5:15
if you add cold tap water do you add the chemical that said tap water thing to into the tank after you filled it up or put it into the water before you filled it[the jug or tub]
Where did u get the tank it's so cool
Good
The substrate can be a hassle at first as it produces so much amonia but is can be worth it with patients
thanks btw how do you cut the anubias i see you cut it but the base (i dont know what its called) grows stems so were do i exactly cut the anubias so i can have more please reaply thanks
I couldn't help but laugh when you threw the instructions at 1:00 :D
I have only had to go back and find it once. :)
Given the top area that is exposed to air is so small does that mean it impedes the stocking to just that raised surface area??
ok, i understand now, thanks!! :)
I was just wondering if this could be used to for terapins?
haha I literally have all the exact same plants from that bigger aquarium that u got the plants from in my planted tank lol
Nice hobby
Hi I was wondering whether the filter makes much noise if I were to put it in my bedroom
Nice video, however would you recommend buying this from a USA website and have it shipped internationally to South America?
I had one of these tanks a few years ago and loved the look... but, the opening truly is a pain. I would suggest using your hands instead of a "tool"... hehe. BUt, that's me. Maintenance is not as fun with the opening and the lights do die. I like your LED idea much and if I ever get another, which I probably will do, I'll definitely get LEDs. Nice video though and very nice landscaping.
What kind of fish were put in there? Just curious
Great setup. I'm looking at this for myself but wondering how do you clean the algae off the sides? thx
+Steven Bourgeois drain it down a bit then take an old credit card and make your way around the glass.
how did the heater hold up? I have the Fluval Edge heater and 6 gal tank. That I inquired Mon Night from a guy that was moving and couldn't take his fish and tank on the drive from the east coast to the west coast. But my only issue is the water is at 77F. the heater turned on when setting up on Mon. but I never seen it on since. Do you have any reviews on how to properly install the Fluval Edge heater? is there a right or wrong why?
now it does
Nice edge. I'm buying one too to aquascape and add some shrimps and fishes. you didn't use Co2?
Another fine video and educational video at that. What is the name of the plant to the right. Not the Lace Java fern or the anubus the smaller one planted in the substrate. Also do you sell any of your plants?
