Incorrect dimensions suitable for aquarium pumps and filters

Absolutely, definitely not suitable. It doesn't slip an inch into the groove before snapping firmly into place, bulging the false rear of the tank. I didn't try to force it any further. Reading other reviews I was hoping that this would be fixed and unfortunately I received a unit that either didn't meet the specs or Fluval changed dimensions at some point. Bought the tank in late 2019.

Pros
  • Filter accessories
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Do not buy if you have shrimp

Basket blocks the bottom grate guard leaving you with a hole for one of the grate splitters. Of course, the shrimp swim through and through the lower green holes in Chamber 1 with no problem. I don't have a problem with that now that they can swim back. I have an issue with the basket not fitting snugly in the chamber. There is a small gap between the basket and the left wall which I had two shrimp stuck in for four days after installation, resulting in late night attempts to get the shrimp out

Pros
  • Aquarium pumps and filters
Cons
  • Large and bulky

First of all, it's worth noting that the Flex 15's tray area is a little unusual, with ribs and clips to hold food in place. This intank company seems

Pros
  • Fish & Aquatic Animals
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
