    I have to say, even though at this time I don't have the time anymore for tanks. I always found more relaxation and enjoyment in the actual setting up of them and building wet/dry filters. So these videos allowed me that zen time without the hassles or debt :-) Thanks for posting them! It was time well spent watching an empty tank transform.

      dennis gall it amazed me that they know the red light means food now. Train yours with a colour. The reason I thought of it was some fish didn’t realise food had been dropped in, and then miss feeding I thought there must be something to let them know it’s feeding so I tried it. It took a few times but not long

    My Fluval Flex was just delivered a couple days ago and I was looking for aquascape inspiration. I'm so very glad I came across your video. I also watched several others, including the mods you made. As I'd like to keep shrimp for the first time, I really appreciate the info on using sponges on the big filter intakes. That could've been a costly mistake for me. Your plant recommendations are spot on and helped me with my ordering. Thank you so much for this. I'm now a subscriber and probably a fan for life. In the past, I've had as many as 20 tanks going, from 220g to 5g. I'm just now getting back into it and the new products on the market are amazing. I appreciate you breaking them down for me! Cheers!

    This is by far my favorite tank I own. Sure, people have massive 15000 gallon reef tanks, and 200 gallon Cichlid tanks, but the look and simplicity of the flex makes it so cool.

    pecktec I've been watching your channel for a few years. I'm so happy you have this aquarium from Fluval to do an unboxing and review on. Ever since Fluval announced it I've been curious because of it's unique shape. I had a Fluval Edge, but sold it due to the limitations in working/maintenance space based on the access port on the tank. I watch a lot of unboxing, review, aquascaping, and stocking videos here on youtube and I have found yours to be one of a couple of the highest calibre. I appreciate you sharing your time with us all as well as your knowledge and passion for the hobby. Honestly, I was so excited to see a Fluval Flex video from you! I'll be curious to see update videos and further reviews of the Fluval Flex from you before I decide ultimately to purchase one. Thank you again!!

      oh you are most welcome! I also really enjoy your aqua scaping and I love the jungle in the 27 gallon cube I believe it is. In your updates that is one of my favourites and also the monte carlo carpeting in your kitchen Spec V. I'm curious to see how live plants do in the spec as when I get one I'd like to have live plants and try the monte carlo. It's been a few years since I've had an aquarium. I do have one question, with the ADA amazonian aqua soil is it the regular size or the smaller "powder" size recommended for nano tanks in your fluval Spec V?
      Thanks!!!

    Be careful if you fill it completely. The top has a dome area in the middle back to allow cords and airlines to be brought in. If it is completely full the fish can swim into the filter area and then to the intake chamber or pump chamber. As the water level drops they become trapped in the back. I have found both fish and snails in the pump side several times.

    looks like it woud be easy to add additional strip LED DIY style in that lid at least. I have one of these sitting in my basement as well. i actually don't like the honeycombing, interrupts scaping a bit depending on what youa re doing. Looking forward to seeing how this does in time.

    • @pecktec
      @pecktec  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Rachel O'leary I was thinking the same thing about the lights. The frosted tops on the other tanks they do it a bit nicer. I noticed it seems to block the light a little too when your closer to eye level. So I wonder if that was part of the decision to put it around the top instead of just the filter part like the specs. I'd be interested to hear what ideas you have for all that space in the filter area.

    Cool new tank design, I'm looking for a new tank and this may work with the stand I just got. The stand was originally built to display art and is small by sturdy, so I think it will hold the 15 gallon - depending on dimensions. I love dragon stone - you just can't go wrong with it. My favorite line was "If you want to give your fish a seizure" exactly my thought when I saw it. The "Bold curve design" was pretty funny too. Great video!

    Hiya!! I kept fish for 25 years in tanks up to 260 litres....but sort of drifted away from the hobby about 18 months ago.... However, the word "nano" intrigued me and although not technically nano, I have today bought the 57 litre flex based on your vid (and a couple of others) 😀. I just wanted to let you know that the tank is now fitted with two removable smaller opening grids that clip over the rather large channels in the flex! I am not 100% sure but I reckon the slits are narrow enough to keep most fry and Khuli loaches out!!! Now I am staring at my tank hoping the heater I have ordered arrives tomorrow so I can get it stabilised and begin cycling at the weekend!!!!

    Great video. We bought two Flex 15 aquariums from Amazon last week (No LFS carried the Flex). When they were delivered one of them contained two plastic 'auxiliary' filter port covers/grates that snap onto the existing filter inlet ports. These 'aux' grates have much narrower openings. I assume this is a 'new' feature of the Flex that will (should) become standard going forward.

    So, I have set mine up and waiting for it to clear, but really love it. My only complaint is how low the bottom vents are - engineering fail in my opinion. An inch or so higher would have really helped with aquascaping. My fix was to take a prefilter sponge (had one handy) cut off the end and then cut laterally. Opened and pressed against vents, attaching with black zip ties. Seems to work, but I just don't think it should have been necessary.

      Online my LFS sells them too. Bio if your using two you can swap half every 6 months. The sponge Maybe once a year. I don’t replace the sponge but I swap out the media now and then when I start a new tank. If you rinse them regularly (in De-chlorinated water) they last a long time.

    This tank is defiantly made for moding. the large back allows to add bigger more powerful equipment. (Saltwater) the only complaint is that they did not make a Light mod for a coral light. The lid it too low to really add to the lighting. great video and set up!

      So later on I cut a pice of glass that fit the top and added a better light. It did great for a long time. The mega flex is even better though.

    I just bought the 9 gallon tank and noticed it does not have the cutout on the rear of the lid.
    My big concern with this tank is the lack of replacement parts available through Hagen. If the light or its transformer fail you pretty much need to buy a second tank for spare parts. We have already had to buy a second Spec V for that reason. Not cool.
    I did see a guy selling a lid on eBay for $65 USD! We only paid $104 CAD for the entire kit.
    Filling the tank from the filter compartment is genius. We have 4 Spec tanks and never thought of that. Your videos are a great source of info. Thanks!

    • @pecktec
      @pecktec  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well Im sure there is some sort of warranty in the short term. A bit longer out and they may offer replacement parts. Hopefully its not as problematic as the spec lights. I had to replace the older specs lights too. The new ones seem better so maybe there is hope.

    • @RaymondvanderWoning
      @RaymondvanderWoning 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We just got back from Petsmart with a replacement: they were good enough to open a box and give us a light and transformer. Got our Specs sorted!
      Now I have to scape and plant the Flex. I'm going to use your ideas to mod the filter housing as I'm planning to get tiny fish. Thinking about a small school of green-eyed rasboras.

      Swap out or mod another light in there for bonus points and make a mini reef.

    For the fluval flex , what's the best way for preventing fry or shrimps from entering the holes for the filter?

    • @MrTrollacious
      @MrTrollacious 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Only thing keeping me from buying this... maybe a black mesh or sponge?

  • @marthanewsome6375
    @marthanewsome6375 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Use moss meshing and glue it on the inside of the sump where the wholes are, then add some more sponge in that area for extra filtration. That's what I did with all mine with sumps like that.

    • @danielsmith7084
      @danielsmith7084 4 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @SugarcoatedChainsaw

    Would it be possible to remove the lights from the lid and to suspend them a different way? I want to get the 123L tank and adjust it for my turtle, so I’d kind of need an open lid

    • @pecktec
      @pecktec  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure I swapped my lid and light for other things eventually. I have a flex playlist if you want to see it’s whole life cycle.
