Hagen Fluval Flex Aquarium Kit, 35 x 33 x 33 cm, 34 Litre

i love this fish tank. i’ve had it a few month now but i’m very impressed how long it keeps sparkling clean inside. i clean mine out once a month and have a few minnows in mine at the moment but im planning to get another couple of other small fish. it’s an ideal size and keeps all the pumps and wires at the back of the tank behind a wall to hide the bits and make the fish tank more viewing friendly. the lightning effect is really amazing and actually looks like real lightning. there are quite a few colours to choose from and brightness levels. 58L is perfect and it can even hold some snails for keeping things clean. plenty of room.the front of the tank is curved for better viewing and good advice for keeping algae from growing too fast is to have the lighting level lower than maximum level to avoid growth. easy to keep clean and pump noise is very quiet to can’t hear it at all. highly recommended. best tank i’ve ever had.

After having used this tank for a little under a year now. I can review it fully. I’ll start with the filtration. The filtration is really good. It takes up the back part of your tank at the cost of extremely thorough filtration & when it comes to fish where you can spend a lot of money on them you will want to keep them alive. The tank comes with activated carbon and bio rings. I’ve since replaced my activated carbon with bio rings & use two sets. The pump chamber in this tank sometimes drops lower than the other chambers. After intense investigation my studies have concluded that this happens because of blockage in the filter media in the previous chamber. When the media becomes clogged it slows down the water passing into the pump chamber, while the pump still pumps out around 250l p/h so the difference is pumped out from the chamber. Imagine spending money faster than you’re getting it. You will need a source of money from somewhere else. Next I will talk about the stand. I purchased this tank without the stand. It would be better to get the stand with it as it will look better as a whole unit than just a glass box on a surface. As for the vertical bow front I believe a horizontal bow would have been a far superior manufacturing decision by fluval. The tank is only 40cm wide with a vertical bow front so unless you are looking at the tank front the front you will see a funny image. The reason fish tanks come with a horizontal bow is so that as you are seated around any room you can see a nice view of the fish from the front and from the sides of the aquarium. All in all five stars. Great starter tank!

Bought this for a Christmas present for my 10 yr old son who is a keen fish keeper and has 2 other aquariums. Unfortunately on opening this on Christmas day we discovered the pump and light transformer cable supplied is a EU 2 pin socket and not suitable for use in the UK (adaptors arent recommended for long term constant use). I contacted Amazon and was told I could get a refund on return of the aquarium. Because of it being a Christmas present the nature of returning it and having to go and get another, it is very very disappointing. To resolve this I'm having to go and purchase a pump and also a light transformer, totalling over £60 which is almost half the price of what I paid for the tank in the first place. Unfortunately in this review I have only give this 1 star purely down to Amazons mistake and how they delt with the matter. The Fluval Flex is a brilliant little tank and I would definitely recommend it so please don't let this put you off the Fluval Flex,,,,, just purchase it from another supplier (even if they are slightly more expensive).

This is a pretty OK starter tank. In the box is a 57L aquarium, split into 4 sections. The main section is the display, there is a water inlet section, a filter section and finally a pump section. The filter section is filled with a shaped foam for mechanical filtration, a small bag of ceramic filter media for biological filtration and a small bag of activated carbon. In the lid is an LED light with remote control. The tank is made of reasonably thick glass with a bow front. There are darkened sections of glass at the top and back to hide the equipment and light spill into the room. The bow front is not ideal. I've set it up as a tropical planed aquarium and has been going for just over 6 week. In order to get the tank up and running I needed to add a heater and a lighting control system, that cost around £15 each. I also added aquascape, plants and live stock costing around £100 extra. The lack of a timer for the lights is a major con for this tank, it would cost pennies to add and would make for a much more integrated system. No one needs the multicoloured LEDs but they are there anyway, why not do the same for a timer? The lights are OK for brightness on the maximum setting - I'm getting pretty good plant growth and the carpeting plants are starting to spread. I've swapped out the very noisy pump for an almost silent one that's also more powerful, getting 10x turn over in the tank. There is still a little buzz from the tank; this is coming from the plastic lid vibrating. Without the lid, the new pump can't be heard. All in all, it's an OK tank. If you are just starting out (or restarting like me) then it's ideal. Just don't expect it to last.

Honestly a fantastic tank for the money very good filter system with room to modify if needed. Pump has a good turnover but if keeping fish that like slower moving waters you’ll need to add an intake filter to the outflows or plant heavily. Lighting system is pretty and works well with the remote. Bright white setting looks like it’s be fine for fully planted set up although as this was my daughters first fish tank we kept to plastic / silk plants ‘for now’. Comes with everything you need apart from a heater. [EDIT] 3 years on and pump and lighting still fully operational fish are happy and thriving - fantastic product 👍

Not in the description on Amazon or anywhere else is there any mentioning that this aquarium must be connected to 110V. Not even in the product description. The only thing that made me suspicious was the plug, which is rather unusual here, and I only found the necessary information on the plug itself. Unfortunately, a return is not possible for various reasons and so I am forced either to make something myself or to buy expensive spare parts.

Très bien sauf problème avec télécommande

I remember when these first came out, it was like someone invented the wheel. I bought a 9 and 15 at first, loved them both and still have them 10 or so years later. Then I wanted another one so that I could start another nano tank. It was on sale and nothing else even compares for the price, even similar 10 gallon AIO are just not as good. Perfect tank if you want simple, flexible, and easy

Comprata ricondizionata buona qualità

Bin total begeistert von diesem Aquarium. Es ist absolut ruhig, wenn man bestimmte Sachen beachtet. Die Pumpe sollte nicht in Kontakt mit den Glaswänden kommen. So ist sie total leise. Schade das die Beleuchtung nicht mit dem Programm wieder startet, mit dem es beendet wurde. Bei mir startet sie immer im Gewittermodus. Ich denke, dass were ich auch noch hinbekommen. Fazit, eine rundum gelungene Sache.
