    Filter for 36 gallon bowfront aquarium

    Hello, I just finished cycling my 36 gal bowfront tank thatā€™s using a Fluval 70 filter. I chose this filter after seeing lots of people mention that the Fluval 50 wouldnā€™t be powerful enough for my tank size.

    Fluval FX6 Whining and Output Hose Shuddering

    Afternoon everyone, I set up my FX6 on my new 193 gallon a couple of days ago. It's been running without issue since then, until the last hour when the filter itself is making a whining sound and the output hose is "shuddering" for want of a better word. It`s almost like it`s convulsing and...

    Fluval Flex 15 Gal. - First Ever Fish Tank!

    Hey everyone, I recently got into the hobby and had a little bit of help from a friend/pet store employee on starting up.

    Fluval Edge 23L

    Hello, I love the look of the Fluval Edge, but I understand it can be a pain to maintain due to accessing the inside of it. Do any of you have a Fluval Edge for your shrimp and how do you get on with it? Obviously I would add a pre-filter sponge to protect the babies.

    I need opinions on a good light!

    I am planning on planting my 20H gallon tank with beginner, low-light plants. I came across the Fluval Aquasky 2.0 and loved the convenience of just using my phone! I saw one website had it on sale from 104.99 to about 72.99. Will it be enough to support the growth of low-light plants?
