This 5-gallon etched glass aquarium with aluminum trim combines style and functionality in one small package. Though small in stature, Fluval SPEC is big on features. It comes with a sleekly designed overhanging LED lighting system, consisting of 37 powerful LED lamps, that arches above the aquarium to provide brilliant illumination for plants and décor. The aquarium includes a powerful circulation pump with adjustable output nozzle and a large 3-stage filtration system that provides more than enough filtration for ultra clean and clear water. It also comes with all the necessary filter media for effective and thorough mechanical, chemical and biological filtration: a porous foam block with convenient handle traps large particles and debris, activated carbon adsorbs unwanted odors, discolorations and impurities and BioMax insert provides optimal colonization of beneficial bacteria and enhances the nitrification of fish wastes. The pump and filtration system are conveniently located in a separate chamber at one end of the aquarium to simplify maintenance. To ensure the well-being of aquarium inhabitants, it is essential to maintain your aquarium. At the very minimum, remove 20% of the water once a week and replace with tap water that is of similar temperature to your tank and treated with the correct dose of Nutrafin Aqua Plus. Regular replacement of Fluval filter media is essential to ensure optimum performance. The filter media should be changed alternately in order to maintain continuous biological activity. To enhance bacterial action, pour a dose of Nutrafin Cycle onto your filter inserts each time you change the media. ## Features - 5-gallon etched glass aquarium with aluminum trim - High-output 7000K LED with all-aluminum, waterproof casing for enhanced plant growth and fish colors - Powerful 3-stage filtration for superior water quality and stylish honeycomb wrap to conceal rear filtration compartment - Includes glass aquarium with cover; LED lighting system; safe, low-voltage transformer; circulation pump with output nozzle; foam filter block with handle; activated carbon insert; and BioMax insert - Dimensions: 20.5 x 11.6 x 7.5 inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009R7D9CS | | ASIN | B009R7D9CS | | Additional Features | Three-stage filter chamber with circulation pump, blue night light | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,597 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #31 in Aquarium Starter Kits #195 in Aquariums #377 in Aquarium Lights | | Brand Name | Fluval | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (3,060) | | Date First Available | October 27, 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561105187, 10015561105184 | | Included Components | All items listed in description | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 20.5"L x 7.5"W x 20.5"H | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Kit | | Item Weight | 5 kg | | Item model number | 10518 | | Manufacturer | Rolf C.

You can clean the filter block maybe every three months and when it's really hard to clean then it's time to buy. For bio rings clean it with water from the aquarium and NOT TAP WATER so as not to kill the good bacteria and it depends how dirty it is. DON'T CLEAN filter block and bio rings at the same time maybe alternate again you need the good bacteria in the aquarium. You can buy it at petsmart, drsfostersmith.com or any pet store that sell fish. **Q: Where did you put the heater and what kind of heater should I get? Thanks :-)** A: I used the Vivosun 50w around 10 bucks . I have two of the small 2.5 gallon fluval tanks, tropical setup with one heater in each tank set at 76 degrees. The Vivosun 50w fit's on the pump side no problem. We keep home at 73 to 74 so it kind of cool for the fish. In video you can't read the temp but you can in person. Fish appear mor active after installing. The pump compartment is the ideal location. 1. The water has been filtered and 2 this is the compartment the pump draws from filing the larger compartment with water at desired temperature. If your tank starts to algae the heater will have some refuge. **Q: How loud/quiet is the filter? I work in an office with cubicles and don't want a tank that has a noisy filtration system.** A: The filter is very quiet. I have the tank right on my desk, and I never notice any noise. **Q: Is the lid cat-proof?** A: I've not owned an aquarium that my cat could not get into if she really wanted to. One day I came home and the glass lid on the aquarium was broken in two shards on the bottom of the aquarium, and the cat was still a little damp and cleaning herself up at the back end. Hah! She fell in! 😆 The poor fishies were ok though, and so was the cat, and she never ever messed with those fish again. Problem solved. 😊 My point: If you can devise some kind of harmless unpleasantness that the cat can associate with the fish or tank, they may not bother it anymore.
