Product Information

The small aquarium is fully equipped with basic technical equipment and is suitable for any aquarium enthusiast looking for an unusual tank for their living space. I then left it another week and added more fish to complete the tank over the coming 3 weeks, just adding 3-5 at a time. This also allows special effects to be selected, such as the cloud cover lighting mode or storm weather with lightning. In addition, thanks to the RGB LEDs, all colours of the spectrum can be selected.

The Fluval Flex not only offers contemporary styling with its distinctive curved front, but is also equipped with powerful multi-stage filtration and brilliant LED lighting that allows the user to customize several settings via remote control.The next step was to start adding some C02 to really help the plants grow – you can read about adding pressurised C02 here. Adding the fish and shrimp

The Fluval Flex comes with a Flex pad remote control which conveniently controls a wide range of colours as well as fun special effects including faded cloud cover and lightning bolts, allowing you to customise your aquatic universe according to your mood. At 41x39x39cm it holds 57 litres/12.5 gallons, which is about the same volume as a standard 60x30x30cm, or two-foot fish tank. It's 19cm shorter, however, so this needs to be taken into account when selecting the fish species that you are going to put into it.I get asked a lot about fish going into the end filter compartment through the holes. In my tank I have left it uncovered as the fish and shrimp go in and out as they please. In the box you get the tank, lights, remote control, filter pump and media, flow controller and a none slip mat to place the aquarium on. Cleaning is a simple process, you just need to remember the small sponge in the filter pump or the filterwill give up- as I found! (I’ll upload a how to clean video next time I do it) Holiday guide

To run the lights on a timer you need to use an analogue plug rather than a digital one (This advice has come from Fluval directly). The Flex Nano Aquarium series provides contemporary styling with its distinctive curved front. The tank is equipped with a powerful 3-stage filtration and an infrared remote control that allows you to select between several colours and special effects. The Flex aquarium is the perfect option for any fish keeper with its unique design and fantastic features.

Flex comes compact with several great features including its easy feed large cut out opening for simple feeding. Its multi-directional dual output nozzles mean the tank water flow can be adjusted to depending on your tank setup. As this tank was setup as an over flow of my breeding shrimp and guppies I started with 2 red shrimp and 3 juvenile guppies (small but with a bit of colour starting on the tail).If you’re setting the tank up as a tropical aquarium then you’ll need a heater to add to the tank – there’s loads of these available and our recommended nano heater is the Fluval 50 w heater. A digital plug will reset to the mixed colour lighting, if you’re only away for a weekend or a few days then that won’t be an issue.

After it had been running for a few weeks and the grass was well rooted I’ve added a couple of small algae eaters – these can disturb the grass if its not well rooted. The Fluval Flex 57 L aquarium provides contemporary styling with its unique curved front. The tank includes a built-in powerful 3-stage filtration system and an infrared remote control that allows you full control of the lighting in terms of both colours and special effects. These fully equipped kits have proven to be exceedingly popular with hobbyists with all the necessary hardware needed to set up a thriving freshwater aquarium.Flex comes compact with several great features including its easy feed large cut out opening for simple feeding. Its multi-directional dual output nozzles mean the tank water flow can be adjusted depending on your tank setup. The rear filtration compartment also provides ample space for a heater (not included). Everything that could disturb the layout, such as hoses, filter, heater and CO 2 system, can be concealed behind the fixed rear panel. After running the Flex like this for 3 days I then turned the filter and heater on and ran it empty for week to make sure the temperature was right and held. This also gave the tank some time to settle before adding any fish or shrimp. If this is something you’re worried about then you can add some thin gause over the cover to stop it happening. The finished nano tank It will be left like this for a few days before the filter is turned on, then the fish and shrimp added later.
