🐠 Premium inTank Media Basket: The Ideal Solution for Fluval Spec, Spec 2.6, Spec V, Spec 5, Spec 10L, Fluval Evo 5, Evo 19L Aquariums Review

This upgrade is definitely worth buying. This effectively ensures that the water flows through the filter material as it should. With a standard tank of fuel and a sponge, very little water will flow through the fill. I'm actually waiting for them to release a 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo model. This basket only fits 5 gallon Evo tanks and Spec. I just set up the Spec V for my 2 year old niece because she loves my 180 gallon saltwater tank. When you purchase this item, it does not come with…

So yeah, the first thing that strikes most people is that it's "expensive". However, it is well built and perfect for Fluval Spec tanks. I have experimented with putting filter material in this basket.

(Recently I diced my mechanical layer by slicing the block into smaller pieces and placing them so they stacked randomly.) No carbon, I

Seems very well made and it's a much better way to run filter media packs (I have dental floss, purigen and a mix) (from Carbon and Phosguard) I'm still experimenting with a skimmer (which raises the water level in the main part of the aquarium) but I believe an improved, higher power pump is needed to use this basket effectively as the water flows only weakly between the wall of the grate and the basket (bypassing your medium). I wouldn't call it a design flaw of the basket. That's how the…

As others have said, once I got one I see the problem now. It doesn't fit well and is flush with the front of the top air intake. it wobbles back and forth about 1/8 inch, maybe a little more, leaving that gap up front just below the intake. Well, I don't see anything stopping them from making it bigger so it fits better, or like the other tanks that support them from having it "tilt" forward by tilting the bottom a little while they do put your feet on the back of the filter. Either way, most…
