Review: Fluval SPEC Aquarium Kit
Fluval SPEC is a contemporary looking aquarium designed for small areas such as desktops and countertops. This 2.6-gallon etched glass aquarium with aluminum trim combines style and functionality in one small package.
One of the standout features of the Fluval SPEC is its sleekly designed overhanging LED lighting system. With 31 powerful LED lamps, this lighting system arches above the aquarium to provide brilliant illumination for plants and décor. The high-output 7000K LED with all-aluminum, waterproof casing enhances plant growth and brings out vibrant colors in fish. The lighting system not only serves a functional purpose but also adds a touch of elegance to the overall design of the aquarium.
In terms of filtration, the Fluval SPEC does not disappoint. It comes with a powerful 3-stage filtration system that ensures superior water quality. The stylish honeycomb wrap conceals the rear filtration compartment, maintaining a clean and seamless look. The filtration system includes a porous foam block with a convenient handle to trap large particles and debris, activated carbon insert to adsorb unwanted odors, discolorations, and impurities, and a BioMax insert that enhances the colonization of beneficial bacteria and promotes the nitrification of fish wastes. This comprehensive filtration system ensures that your aquarium remains clean and healthy for your aquatic inhabitants.
Maintenance is made easy with the Fluval SPEC. The pump and filtration system are conveniently located in a separate chamber at one end of the aquarium, simplifying maintenance tasks. Regular water changes are essential for the well-being of aquarium inhabitants, and the Fluval SPEC makes it easy to do so. Simply remove 20% of the water once a week and replace it with tap water that is of similar temperature to your tank and treated with the correct dose of Nutrafin Aqua Plus. Additionally, regular replacement of filter media is crucial to ensure optimum performance. The filter media should be changed alternately to maintain continuous biological activity. To enhance bacterial action, pour a dose of Nutrafin Cycle onto your filter inserts each time you change the media.

It comes with the glass aquarium, cover, LED lighting system, safe low-voltage transformer, circulation pump with an output nozzle, foam filter block with a handle, activated carbon insert, and BioMax insert.
