Hagen Fluval Flex Aquarium Kit, 41 x 39 x 39 cm, 57 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.

My wife got me this as my first tropic fish tank and I absolutely love it!The tank comes with a fantastic filtration system which is neatly hidden away at the back. It seems to be very efficient and easy to clean every month.The light fitted in the lid of the tank is more than capable of growing low to medium light plants! As you can see from my pictures I've had fantastic thriving plants with the standard light with no added co2.It's not the largest tank in the world so you are limited on what and how many fish you can stock. But I've got 1 honey gourami with 10 pygmy corydoras plus a few male endler livebearers and they all seem very happy with plenty of room and live plants.Overall I'd highly recommend this tank.

Mainly very good, shame the lid isn't hinged and only one RGB colour can be selected at a time.Filtration is superb.Mine arrived with a small scratch on the front top RHS. Not that noticeable, but still a bit of a niggle.

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).

The media could not be loaded. It's an excellent tank good price looks pretty especially the bow front

The media could not be loaded. I’ve got this tank for my little girls and they love itExcellent value for money very easy to maintain and the remote that comes with it it’s very easy to use.You can hardly hear the filter working, but it’s doing its job . Excellent for a first time aquarium , The only other thing I bought for it was a heater and a air pump.
