Fluval Spec V upgrades: marineland mini-jet 606 pump modified soon to be intank media basket from a biocube 14 Sorry said that BioCube 8 and 14 but turns out it was only the 14
I thank you for the vid. I am following you're footsteps in upgrading my fluval as well. The stock fluval pump is rated at only 83 gallons per hour max. The new pump should work wonders and be effective with my hydor water deflector.
If you were only going fowlr... yes the stock lights would be just fine. It is really hard to resist adding corals and once you add one its on from there. I am really diggin the ecoxotic leds. They have proven to be a great fixture and would highly recommend them. The price is great and the quality is awesome.
Thanks. Yeah they really are a great little starting platform. Bought the tank at petco for 79, pump was 16 on amazon. Obviously you will have to upgrade the lights to make it a reef tank. I will have another video up this week showing all the frags i have in this sucker and my 20 long
Hi, I'm just wondering how the media basket has been working out for you. I got the media basket and they arrived today, but what I noticed is that there's actually some space between the basket and the walls of the tank around it. It seems like water could just flow right down the side instead of down the middle through the filter. I just wanted to see what your thoughts on are these and if you've had good experience with them so far. Thanks!
Thank you very much for sharing, I found that my Spec V filter is not sucking much water in, no matter i turn switch up or down. How about this Mini-jet 606, could you share a video of your current tank? thanks.
If I wanted to start a FOWLR tank, will the stock lighting be sufficent or will I have to upgrade. And what lighting fixture would you recommend if I upgrade the lights?
Sorry for the late reply...I went with the ecoxotic stunner strips 12" ..one is white/magenta and the other is blue.....and use their one touch controller to control them. Quality and reasonable price

What its for Green light at 3:50???
What is the max flow rate for the stock fluval spec 5 water pump? Thanks
58GPH I'm pretty sure.
53 gph close enough, the 606 with cover off makes 160 gph
Is the stock pump enough for salt water fish only?
I would say yes for a fowlr tank
Can I have you old pump? The one that came with your tank?
Seal not sell. Autocorrect lol
Can I plz have that Min-jet 606 I can't find one
Uhmmm...
