Fluval Edge Aquarium 2 months after set-up

[gsd767]

Hi my tank is very loud why

[mrGeorgesvids]

Um um um um um um um um um... shut up!!

[Jayjay9876123]

What kind of filter does this have

[thesqaanalyst]

Looks tough to clean

[AznMaster24]

how many times did you say "um" lol

[PaNdeM0niuM]

that's a really cool design - especially for a SMALL tank.

very compact and neat.

[hellobutterbun]

I owned the Fluval Chi 5 gallon. It is beautiful but the filter would able to filter the fishes' waste.

[TimeSplittersChimp]

how can you clean this tank though

[thesqaanalyst]

@TimeSplittersChimp  my question exactly.

[Kitsune]

I've never heard anybody say this was easy to clean. There's practically no way to get your arm in to scrub if you needed to, or to fit a gravel vacuum in the tiny little opening to clean the bottom.

[missalz786]

@ursie1986 yeahh you can ,I have got 2 blackmoors nd 2 goldfish in this tank .... It looks amazing with the blackmoors ... They are so cute x

[Kitsune]

@missalz786 This tank is way too small for four goldfish. You need a 20 gallon at the very least.

[missalz786]

I bought this tank and I got it for £99 with the filter and everything included :) x

[MrOahuGrown]

how much do these cost?

[ISUBANY11]

@MrOahuGrown Around 199.99 with a filter and everything.

[ursie1986]

can you keep black moors in these?

[FallenStar117]

Hey people,

I want to get into this hobby ... is a fluval edge a good starting tank?

Also if I set aside 200 dollars for the setup of the tank will that be enough?

[Lasurax]

Great video! I just have to say though, stop saying um :D

[xXPAINTBALLERXx17]

Um um um um

[lkavaklian4]

im going to get one is it good for baby fish

[HermannTheGreat]

Oxygen exchange is good but not great considering it's only a 4/5'' opening in the middle of the tank covered by a mini-hood, and a bio-wheel type filter or at least adding a mini sponge filter fitted with a simple airstone alongside the aqua-clear would have been nice. This tank design is for space and aesthetics, perfect for the office setting, it's not optimal though given the lack of oxygen access. Beta's would have trouble doing well in this given the filter flow would limit surface visits

[toddhagenrep]

Hey all- Watch soon for the video of the EDGE 2-- all new lighting systems and a new size. The 6 gallon now comes in White and has 21 LED bulbs, 3 of which are blue night lights. And then there is a new 12 gallon that is double the height and it has 42 LED bulbs. I will have a video up soon of these.

[acdryer1]

Has anyone had problems with their fish getting stuck against the suction? I have had to pull them off the suction with a net.

[adamboeing737]

@acdryer1 mine jump into the filter and i have to get them out with a spoon but not the suction

[toddhagenrep]

Hey, I have never had a single customer tell me this? What kind of fish? If this problem keeps up just reduce the flow rate of the filter. You can slow it to 50% and it will actually filter the tank even better due to the patented flow pattern of the filter.

[GoIrish032711]

@acdryer1 Have you tried using the prefilter? I was afraid my Zebrafish might get stuck...got it for $3 at petsmart. I just set my tank up last week. I posted the video w/ prefilter on my channel. I hope this helps.

[tropix579]

i have that in orange and its great!

[Galaxy1423]

where is the heater at??

[Warlord905]

wow! I go to petworld all the time!

[isolaster]

Hi if you want brighter light than buy MR11 LED lights for it.

[countfreddie]

@isolaster

Hi I want to upgrade my lights and these look good. But I have healthy plants in my tank and have heard about how plants need certain lights to prosper (although I also read that the edge lights were supposed to be no good for plants..not true in my case..). anyway, do you know if these lights are going to be no good for my plants??? many thanks

[RedXIIILondon]

@countfreddie I've had my tank going for a few months now, stock lights and planted.. had no issues as yet, check my vid xD

[KidFrom106]

My light bulbs for the fluval edge keeps on breaking! and i dont know why!

[lfclikewalfc]

@KidFrom106 water is getting into the lights probably happens with most tanks

[SiloNova25]

The only thing that bothers me, is how close those lights are to the water, and I don't see some sort of seal between the water and the lights! Lol.

[SiloNova25]

Getting this on Saturday :D

[vanhalenman60]

lol there is a pet world sanbernardino nothing like petco size but is mainly saltwater

[TheAviator365]

Thanks for the video , nice to see it up close. Can anyone recommend fishes for this particular tank. Can i put in 1 snail, 1 shrimp ......?

[lPwnNubs]

@TheAviator365 Heeey man if u didn't already buy the tank already u can put alittle more then that. If you want you can put some tropical fish! platties,neon tetras,mollys just try to consider those :)

[lfclikewalfc]

@TheAviator365 guppies platies not mollies they can get a little big maybe endlers as they are smaller than normal guppies and some cherry shrimp maybe 2or 3 and a sanil should be great

[shacks29]

On the first Look, its awesome but I saw this in a store and you can´t remove the top glass so its pretty annoying to setup and clean this tank.

Also not a good choice if you have a Betta or any kind of air breathing fish.

[MrMushroom90]

@shacks29 i have had this tank for 2 month now and it is easy to clean just can get abit tricky catching the fish and i have a betta in the tank and he is doing just fine there is a big square hole at the top of the tank where he goes to breath tey are not daft fish he found out quickly where to go just aslong as you dont have the current to fast bettas will do fine!

[lfclikewalfc]

@shacks29 it is a good choice because there is a square at the top where they go to breath

[toddhagenrep]

@shacks29 thats the point of the kit. That's why it looks so cool. And a betta could do fine as there is access to the air.

[fish4ever24]

@shacks29 i just noticed the betta part but u can make your water level low

[apimo1234]

@fish4ever24

Not needed. My betta use the opening in top.

[apimo1234]

@shacks29

It took only half a minute then my betta found the opening. Further more some bettas are jumping out of a normal aqarium, they will not jump out of this.

[BeLiketheSquerrl]

if these were a little bigger that'd be cool. maybe 10 or 20 gallons. its nice, but 6 gallons really limits what you can put in it. a honey gourami, 6 neon tetras, and 10 cherry shrimp... thats the best combination i can come up with.

[Carmylita]

I just set mine up today! Wish me luck! :) It's nice looking!

[KidFrom106]

Bought a Fluval Edge today i really like the tank but im not too happy with the light bulb's... i want BETTER brighter, color light bulb's! anyone know where i can get blue, white light bulb's???

[wigglezhujun]

can u show how you make tis?

[Aydreean]

does the top glass come off? It seems like a pain trying to get gravel and plants in through that top filter opening.

[jonnyhotdog]

where you get the other lights from then ?

[brandon429]

with a light modification these are great tanks. Planted is their perfect use, how neat. great vid

[jaydamagnifik]

by far hallogen got the worst spectral ,,,its way too week and it use too much energy,,,,fluorescent are so much better than halogen and they dont use too much power and have a higer spectrum,,,youll be dumb to not use them,,,,but i know halogen come with fluval edge so ,,,,fluval dumb!!

[jaydamagnifik]

@jaydamagnifik spectrum,,,sorry

[bigbadbullant]

@jaydamagnifik They've used halogen bulbs to act as a heater. Saves manufacturing costs due to an extra heater not being added. Although in cold environments around the tank an extra heater would probably be needed for tropical set-ups.

[jaydamagnifik]

i been a grower of several plants ,,i have a fat green thumb and i have try hallogen ,,and the spectrum of light isnt good enought ,,my plant were growing horizontaly way too much,,without much leaf,,,i did research about it after i got this problem and no one recomend using halogen

[jaydamagnifik]

halogen light is not good for plant ,,i just dont get it ,,,why

[temengel]

Halogen light is actually great for plants, you will need to research more. Plants of all types are doing great in the Flval Edge.

[o2isagoodthing]

I have a 2month old fluval edge. this is my first tank ever so moving slowly. are we limited in the type of plants or placement in the setup? I am so attracted to moss and grass but nervous about adding them. I fertilize with aqueon weekly after 25% water change.

[steva30]

I got mine today at petsmart for 100$

[ericamt]

Wow absolutely beautiful. Thanks for this!
