This aquarium reignited my love for Fluval. Super quick and easy set-up, attractive, so quiet that you can't hear it running, and the lighting is really sophisticated-- fun to personalize the light settings!! I was pleasantly surprised by the technological advances (and reduced costs) offered by this aquarium, since I was last active in the hobby.
Overall, I give this 5+ stars. I plan on buying this set-up again for my parents (and setting up another one for myself!). I do, though, have some suggestions to Fluval, as an experienced aquarist, as to improving this already great aquarium--
1. The food slot in the front of the tank lid would benefit from having a sliding or hinged door. My cats sit on top of the tank and were easily able to get their paws in, until I installed a mesh cover.
2. It would be nice to have the top hinged, so it would be supported whenever doing water changes.
3. Even though this is a relatively small aquarium, I can see that there might be times that you might want to use additional equipment with it, such as a chiller, sump, or UV sterilizer. However, the current lid design, head space, and design of the partitions between the back chambers doesn't support this. It would be great if those areas could be re-designed to provide flexibility to use additional equipment, as needed.
Overall, though, I adore this aquarium!! Already planning my next Fluval Fex 15 gallon tank. Stay tuned!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024
Updated, seller sent a replacement remote and it works. Very good support too.
The GOOD:
- In the back there is an extra chamber for added filtration with a divider for UV cleaning light, etc. This has two intakes from the main tank area that run the risk of curious critters getting in.
- Tank comes with an anti-slip mat which is needed if on a smooth surface like most tables, shelves, etc.
- I like that the rear compartment has the woven grill pattern like the lip of the main tank. You can see into the filter compartments to a degree.
- I felt that the value was a little steep considering some of the lacking features. It is still way better than a low quality tank.
- Some of the light features are very fun like the storm one.
The BAD:
- Lid has a small open spot near the front which I can see might be an issue once my cats discover it.
- Filter is strong! Too strong for a lot of fish with no ability to turn it down without modifications. (I'll share more about that in a bit)
The rear compartments are a pain to attach suction cups for additional equipment.
- The remote has been having IR or battery issues. I will be having to go out and pick up a new battery.
Needed Modfications I did:
First off, there were some outstanding reviews that discussed modifications to remedy some of the issues like the water pump flow rate or adding additional filters.
- I bought a water heater which didn't cost much.
- I went ahead and purchased two Fluval Edge Pre-filter sponge (amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LL32RY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to attach to the duckheads of the pump output. These fit over the nozzles for the water output in the main area of the tank and provided a significant decrease in water flow. My betta that I am preparing to move from a 5gal tank doesn't like heavy water currents.
- I bought additional bio filters, filter sponge, and a UV cleaning light to place in the rear compartment. I placed a sponge filter to block the intake entrance from the main tank so when I add shrimp, they do not wander into the filter compartments.
