Fluval spec nanoaquarium, 19 liters

Product Information

There are two ways to combat this problem. The first is to invest in an aquarium heater that has advanced electronics for the temperature control. The problem is that most heaters in this category do not fit in the pump section of the Spec. The Eheim Jager is a great example of one that does offer better reliability and control, but unfortunately does not quite fit in the Spec V. Our review will cover setting up the tank, some tips to get it running well, possible design ideas, and general maintenance of the aquarium. Whats in the box? If you want to do this add some sand or aquatic soil to the bottom so you don’t damage the tank. Bogwood setup The question in my mind is the balance between smaller - so a smaller mouth and can eat only the small fry; or bigger and so cannot go where the fry may hide.

What I like best about the Fluval Spec line of aquariums is their ‘all in one’ appearance, where the display tank, lights, and filtration system are all in one box. When setting up our Spec V aquarium, it was only natural to try to find a heater that would fit into the pump section and be totally enclosed. In my research, I found a few heaters that would work well. I will talk about these and also go into some other aspects of aquarium heaters. Option 1: Fitting a Heater in the Fluval Spec Pump Section A disadvantage to both the DIY temperature controller and a reefkeeper type controller is that they take up space outside your aquarium. I have dealt with this by putting everything into a storage box to hide it. For the smaller 3 gallon Spec III, I think a 50 watt is a bit much. A 25 watt heater is going to be your best bet. One Type of Heater to Stay Away From:

And here’s how it looks on week 4. The plants have started to take and the fish are adding some nice splashes of colour. You’ll need to tank this on and off to do water changes, float new fish, clean the filter and its easier to take it off to clean the glass too. I know a lot of people struggle with the age old question of what heater fits into the compartment of the Fluval Spec V (5 gallons). I would love to hear from owners who have successfully fit a good quality heater into the compartment and been able to heat up the water accurately and made sure it remained stable. Yep, its definitely a struggle! I actually read through your thread before making this post and was going to message you if I found a good one! Hopefully this can help us both If you hate the frosted glass, and you want to try out the idea in #1 (keep in mind that is kind of a permanent mod..) you can put normal scotch tape on the frost, and it makes it see through again. I personally like it the way it is, so I haven't done this.

There is another that will fit in the taller Spec III (but will not fit in the smaller pump section of the Spec V): I used some more wood to plug the holes where the soil cam down. I was than ready to add the plants. CPDs - need too many and also apparently love to hunt and being so small can go anywhere the fry go Then added the pants where there is soil and added moss to the wood using super glue – Yes it really works! I’ll soon be adding a guide to setting up a bogwood tank/wall in your tank but here’s how I did it in the Spec tank. I do think this would work better in a deeper tank as it would be easier to setup.It also opens up a whole new dimension in small tank aquascaping and layout. It's 43.5cm/17" long, by 27cm/6.7" high and 16cm/6.3" wide, with a volume of 19 l/4 gal, so hopefully it'll be taken a bit more seriously than other nano tanks which have had more than their fair share of detractors.

The Fluval Spec is an excellent value Nano tank that can be used for tropical or cold water fish (Although tropical looks better).

Oh, you'll also need to scout about before you find the light switch. On the side of the LED strip is not the most obvious position. The Fluval Spec 19 Litre Aquarium in white also comes with Carbon media and Biomax rings (3 stage filtration) N30 has developed unique glass-sealing techniques, which allows us to produce very large tanks (such as 30-feet long) without issue of water leakage. For all custom-made fish tanks, N30 assures customers of Five Years Warranty against water leakage. If after a last minute Christmas gift, or a first time tank with a little versatility, this is the one to ask Santa for. Finally, if you are not going to spend the extra money on an external controller or a model with electronic controls, consider selecting a heater that is slightly undersized. This will at least lessen the carnage if it fails ‘on’ and will give you more time to notice the problem and react before things get out of hand.
