Great video! The Elodea and Pearlweed should actually grow nicely - we have Vallisneria growing in one of our tanks! If you'd like to upgrade the lighting, the rear compartments were designed to accomodate the mounting bracket for the Plant 3.0 Nano. 👍
After Fluval came out with the earlier Spec 2.6, we tried a betta in ours but the poor thing kept getting blown into next week because the pump return even on low was just too damn strong for him. It was/is great for select small tank species but definitely not for a betta. Fluval nailed it with the defuser in this one for sure. Its perfect for a betta!
Is the filter supposed to have a small water flow coming out? Mine looks like yours and it's working but saw another video where you could see the water coming out. Mine is on high as well
Where does everyone get those little brushes for the substrate? Does it come with the set up or does everyone putting these together happen to have them?
I am using what Fluval calls a substrate shovel, that available from them and other companies make them as well. It has a wide end and a narrow end thats great for getting in around rocks and wood
Do you think my very social Betta can move from a 10. Gallons tank into a tank like this one with no issues. Or do you think he may need more room. The tank he’s in now keeps killing plants. The lights are all attached to the under side of the lid. The lights are Extremely bright It’s an older tank model. We’d like to move him to a tank that with a clear top and better lighting. Suggestions please. And thank you for sharing.
I think he would be just fine moved into the Fluval Betta tank they are great sets, and have everything a Betta would need. I would choose hardy / lower light type plants for it though

I agree, I think this set up is much better for the betta!
A work of art!
Thank-you!!

There is a slight surface ripple but very little, some people take out the foam which will increase the flow
Grandioso video gracias
Thank-you!!

How many days do I have to leave it on before I put in my beta fish?
Should run for at least 24hrs or more, be sure to use a water conditioner
Beautiful tank decor!!! Is it OK/safe to use any brand of the glue and or glue gun?
Tha k-you,..any of the cyanoacrylate gel type super glues are safe, there are lots of different brands
Would this be ok for shrimp? Or would they be able to get into the filter?
They would have a hard time getting into the filter, I would think it would work well
Great Video! One question, do you know what color your crabs’ eggs were or if you could see their eyes? I’m trying to save mine right now.
Sorry, I havent seen the eggs, the gravid females basically disappear and hide away from the others until they are hatched out.
Was that just one bag of that sand or two?
Hi, I used just one bag in this build
Can you list the plants used
Elodea, Pearlweed, Anubias and Blyxa Japonica
