What's in your Flex? 💪

Mix of tetra in the 32..white cloud minow in the 9..love both tank. Prefer the black one..I took a white one for the 32...its...a lot of white...😊

[@freshflowaquatics]

@@AnNo_001 Great fish choices for both. Lol, the white is a lot of white for sure. I also prefer the black cause the algae is a bit easier to hide. The slightest growth on the white background is so in your face.

I love my Fluval Flex 15. I have Kubotai Rasbora and a pair of Apistogramma Borellii. I changed the stock light and siliconed in a Fluval aqua sky as I can control it from the app. Great review 🤙🏼

[@freshflowaquatics]

Oooo, yes Apistos are for sure a great choice in here. Thanks for dropping a comment!

[@FlowstateAquatics]

That's an awesome review, thanks for sharing. The composition you have in that tank is beautiful!

[@freshflowaquatics]

Thank you! I really do love this tank, Fluval should get me in as a spokesman! 🤣

[@1nvd]

Damn that looks amazing

[@freshflowaquatics]

Thank you!

Hey love your videos and have been eyeing to pick up a flex this boxing day. Is this tank big enough for a honey gourami and a small school of tetras(6), maybe 1 snail as well?

[@Emg2463]

a pair of German Blue Rams or some of the other smaller rams would do well in that tank as well. They have personality and beautiful colors...

[@freshflowaquatics]

Those are a great choice! They definitely are gorgeous fish 🐟

In the past few months, I've had a strong desire to get a Fluval Flex, but I’m considering going for the largest version! I simply want more space to develop my aquascaping ideas and visions! ;-))

[@duanebarnes3587]

Great tank have had mine for 5 years. After 2 years noticed the filter chamber was building all kinds of gunk. Removed back filter panel and installed canister filter. Best decision ever. More room for aqua scape and better filtration. Easier maintenance

[@freshflowaquatics]

That's a great idea. I've thought about doing that, especially since I keep an open top. You're the first person I've heard say they've done that. Good job and thanks for sharing!

[@freshflowaquatics]

You should definitely get the large version! I can't speak highly enough of the Flex. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Thanks for always watching and dropping a comment @vassetz - I appreciate it!

I’ve got a smaller fluval for my shrimp tank I’m def checking out that filter thing cause I’ve had to fish three shrimp out of the filter compartment 😂

[@freshflowaquatics]

Lol, they always seem to find a way into these filters. The filter intake covers will definitely help with that!

[@qweed54]

@ def gonna check them out thanks for the rec

[@freshflowaquatics]

@@qweed54 No prob!

I have one, I like it but it’s not really 15 gallons of space for the fish, I think 2 gallons of it is taken up for the back. I don’t use sand in it like I use to because a lot of the sand builds up in the back so I just use lava rocks. I hate that I can’t slide my hand down the back to give it a good clean. Besides that, I would recommend it but maybe if it’s for a kid’s first tank.

[@Emg2463]

I would think that the first chamber should have the sponges and the middle chamber, the media...otherwise the media could get all clogged up with the mulm from the tank.

[@freshflowaquatics]

That's a great call, thanks for sharing. I'm going to switch them out next time I clean my tank!
