Fluval Spec V Aquarium Kit (18.9L, Black)

Nach langem Suchen nach einem kleinen, guten Nano-Aquarium , hab ich das hier von FLuval entdeckt. Ich wollte nämlich unbedingt ein Glasbecken, die aus Acryl sind fast genauso teuer, also entschied ich mich für Fluval-und ich bin nicht enttäuscht worden !!! Das Aquarium ist qualitativ sehr hochwertig verarbeitet, Scheibenverklebung top, sehr stylistisches Aussehen und die Technik ist auch nicht zu verachten. Die Zuleitungen für Beleuchtung und Pumpe sind getrennt (sehr gut!) und an der Lampe ist ein genialer Schiebeschalter um sie ein-u.auszuschalten.Die Led-Beleuchtung ist sehr gut und hell und leuchtet das Aquarium bis auf den Boden aus. Filter und Pumpe sind getrennt in einem Fach hinter der Rückwand untergebracht. Die Pumpe arbeitet sehr effizient, d.h. Wasser ist kristallklar u. die Pumpe ist sowas von leise, dass man das Ohr dranhalten muss, um sie überhaupt zu hören. Das war auch wichtig für mich, hab das Aquarium nämlich im Schlafzimmer. Also alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Teil und würde es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Ich halte Wasserschnecken und Pflanzen, aufgrund der Grösse würde ich aber keine Fische, Garnelen oder Krebse darin halten. Dafür gibt es dann das Spec 5. Danke an den Anbieter für den reibungslosen Ablauf von Bestellung über Auskünfte bis hin zum Versand. Danke an FLuval, dass ihr so schöne Nano-Aquarien herstellt. Danke an Amazon, dass ihr diese Aquarien im Sortiment habt.

Modèle design par rapport à ceux vendu en animalerie. Il habille parfaitement mon salon. La pompe est ultra silencieuse et le montage facile. En plus tous les objets pompes filtres sont cachés sur le côté en verre noir. Cet achat m’a donne envie d agrandir la collection....

i love my Spec. absolutely adore it. i almost didn't buy this one because i had read it needed a lot of modifications to make it suitable for a betta. and that's correct, it does. but after doing a lot of research on tanks i decided to take the plunge. i'm so glad i did! it has been an absolute joy! what actually prompted my confidence in purchasing this tank for my betta was reading through the Amazon reviews. one review in particular, the one with purple and pink sand (or maybe just purple but i'm pretty sure it's bright purple and pink) laid out everything i needed to know. so thank you to that person for blazing the trail. i ordered this tank with the prefilter sponge, also by Fluval but you can find generic/other brand prefilter sponges. and that was basically it! the vast majority of people recommend the Hydro Theo heater, also available on Amazon for around $15...the heater is a bit finicky but you will soon discover that all aquarium heaters are finicky. that was actually the hardest part of this tank...figuring out where exactly to set the dial....for example, my heater is set on like 75 to keep the tank at 80...but this isn't a review on the tanks heater...you'll figure it out. also, i do have 2-3 small pin holes in the outflow tube....to circulate water around the heater...which, by the way, the hydro theo heater fits perfectly in there. i honestly don't see why fluval didn't design this....where else exactly would you install a heater in this tank? especially considering if you didn't keep a heater in the pump compartment....but in the main tank...the lid wouldn't close flush to the tank...the wire would prevent that. so it seems like fluval intended for users to put the tank in the pump compartment...but probably for legal reasons didn't suggest so because technically all heater manufacturers say not to let anything touch the heater....but everyone i have come across does in fact ignore this to put the heater in the pump compartment. with the prefilter sponge over the outflow...i kept the pump on high. a lot of people recommend keeping it on low but with the prefilter sponge i kept it on high and it worked out. i will say keeping the tank at an equal temperature was a challenge with the sponge. the bottom half of the tank stayed 4-5 degrees cooler than the top...a problem that really bothered me. now i have built a DIY spray bar like device over the outflow (see my picture) that works GREAT! the tank has a current...isn't too strong for my betta....more detritus makes it way to the inflow.....and the tank is the same temp all the way through. it cost about $14 bucks through ZooMed, 50% of which was shipping. i highly recommend doing this if for a betta...simply google 'fluval spec spray bar.' you will find the part numbers and a tutorial. the pump is now on low. also, if you are keeping this for a betta....and have a prefilter sponge....you must install an air stone. otherwise you are going to really reduce the flow and be prone to serious biofilm.....it goes away but it comes back. now that i have the DIY spray bar the flow is much better, still betta friendly....but i do still keep an air stone on low in there. i love this tank. and i have completely fallen in love with the aquarist hobby. also, the auxiliary slit towards the bottom of the false wall....it doesn't prevent all the flow to be redirected from the main filter....but some. i solved this problem by buying a silicone laptop USB plug designed for a macbook on eBay. it costs less than 99 cents...fits so perfect. like it was designed for that purpose. this may be an easier way to plug that hole up instead of silicone.... my betta parks himself right on the intake grate...at first it freaked me out....he enjoys that spot better than his betta hammock. even with the flow on high it was not enough to suck his fins through the slits....every morning when i turn on the light there he is, asleep. it's super cute actually. even my snail goes across the intake grate to feed on detritus and he isn't sucked in. keep in mind, this may not be the case for your inhabitants. so be careful. i do believe every betta in this tank does the same. if you're worried, take the handle on the sponge filter....lift it up and tie a bread-tie or even better the black one that are wrapped around the pumps cord from the packaging to hoist it up over the slits. i didnt bother... this tank does require modification....which i stated earlier almost deterred me from purchasing it. however, i think you'll find that every tank is going to be far superior to some DIY modifications. there is so much information regarding this tank online you should have absolutely no problem making it work for you. this tank is a bit more expensive...but you will be glad you got this one. it is high, high quality....the Cadillac of nano tanks so to speak. fluval is also amazing for customer service...i accidentally ripped my outflow tube trying to get the elbow off of it...they shipped me out another one for free, no questions asked, for warranty...they didn't even ask for proof of purchase.... i love this tank. i truly do. and i can't wait to get another Fluval, this time the Fluval Flex 15 gallon. also, ordering a tank online comes with risk of damage in the process of shipping. i was worried. this arrived very well insulated...and it's $20 cheaper than at PetCo or Petsmart. everything you need to get this tank up off the ground and running smoothly is right here on Amazon....don't waste more money than you need to at a major pet store. please get yourself this tank! don't be afraid of the modifications.....DO IT! UPDATE 8 October 2018: my aquarium sprung a very small leak....it has been leaking water out from under the base....i assume this leak is on the seals holding the bottom glass into the tank. i contacted Hagen Fluval, sent them pictures, explained my situation and they have shipped me out a new tank/glass only portion of the Spec V. They had absolutely lovely customer service.

Perfecto, mi betta está encantado en su nueva casa.
