Fluval SPEC 5 Gallon Aquarium Kit with LED Lighting & 3-Stage Filtration

The Fluval SPEC aquarium blends style and function seamlessly, making it an ideal choice for small spaces like desktops and countertops. With a capacity of 5 gallons, this elegant aquarium features etched glass and aluminum trim, creating a modern aesthetic that doesn’t compromise on utility.

Despite its compact size, the Fluval SPEC is packed with features. A standout component is the overhanging LED lighting system, designed with 37 high-output lamps that arch elegantly over the tank. This lighting not only enhances the overall look but also provides brilliant illumination, promoting healthy growth for aquatic plants and showcasing the vibrancy of fish and decorations.

Accompanying the impressive lighting is a robust circulation pump complete with an adjustable output nozzle. This pump works in sync with a large 3-stage filtration system, ensuring crystal clear water and optimal water quality for aquatic life. The system comes equipped with various filter media necessary for effective mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. It includes a porous foam block with a convenient handle to capture larger particles and debris, activated carbon to remove unwanted odors and discolorations, and a BioMax insert that fosters beneficial bacterial colonies, enhancing the nitrification process essential for breaking down fish waste.

To simplify maintenance, the pump and filtration elements are thoughtfully enclosed within a separate chamber at one end of the aquarium. Regular maintenance is vital to support the health of the aquatic inhabitants. It is recommended to replace at least 20% of the aquarium water weekly, using tap water that matches the tank’s temperature and is treated with an appropriate dosage of Nutrafin Aqua Plus.

To maintain peak filter performance, it’s crucial to regularly replace Fluval’s filter media. Changing the media alternately helps uphold continuous biological activity within the system. Each time the filter media is changed, a dosage of Nutrafin Cycle can be applied to the filter inserts to promote a vigorous bacterial action, further ensuring the health and clarity of the aquarium environment.

The Fluval SPEC is not just about functionality; it also prioritizes aesthetics. The aquarium is designed with an ultra-chic honeycomb wrap that cleverly conceals the rear filtration compartment, providing a sleek look while maintaining superior water quality. Additionally, the LED lighting system operates at a high output of 7000K, with a waterproof aluminum casing that is both durable and effective for enhanced growth and vibrant fish colors.

This aquarium package includes everything needed for an effective setup: the glass aquarium with a cover, the state-of-the-art LED lighting, a safe low-voltage transformer, and all necessary components such as the circulation pump, foam filter block with handle, activated carbon insert, and BioMax insert.

Overall, with dimensions of 20.5 x 11.6 x 7.5 inches, the Fluval SPEC aquarium is not only a stylish addition to any space but also a sophisticated, well-equipped aquatic environment.
