- The Fluval Spec is where it all started for me. These little kit tanks have been apart of this channel from the very beginning.

Love the out takes!! Cool to hear how you got started too!
Guess what Joseph. YOU WON!! The cold robot hands of fate have extended their steelie fingers in your direction. Look me up my contact info is in the video description. Get me your address and I'll send you a new penguin!
Joseph MacKenzie hey I haven’t heard from you did you want the filter?
Last chance man. Let me know if there’s an issue or I’ll have to pick again.
Thanks for the filter that's super cool!!!!
Congrats!
CONGRATS !!! 😀
Congratulations 😁
I enjoy all of your videos. You have taught me so much. Thank you . I too am a huge Fluval fan for years!
Looking forward to your Marineland tanks update. I am getting ready to start one myself.
Me too.
I have one of my Bettas homed in a Marineland 5 gallon Portrait.
It's a perfect desktop tank with a small footprint.
@@plcc07777 I was thinking the same thing myself.
Another great video.. love the Fluval tanks.. thanks for all your hard work..
thanks for the videos, Always informative.
The 40K prints at 12:12 ... Thats a thumbs up from me!
You should look up gas lands. I’m obsessed with it right now.
I had bad luck with my spec 5, the heater was in the first chamber and it cracked the glass. My next all in one will be the 17.4 gallon lifeguard aquatics
Just explaining "underwater gardening" to a young friend. She's laughing at the idea of "mowing an underwater lawn".... but I just want to start another tank - I think I'm addicted.
Thank you. The fish in your work tank look great.
the plants growing out of the wood is a really cool idea
If you’re worried about the water level and want to easily see it, drill a hole lower and let the water in the tank get low too.
Not sure about the fluval but on some of these filters you can shorten the tube going to the pump and raise it, that lets you put a short heater in the bottom so it stays submerged. Maybe even use a smaller pump if you want less flow for a betta.
Excellent update videos! Enjoyed last week, enjoyed this week’s and I am definitely looking forward to next week’s. Great giveaway and THANK YOU for all of your work!
Your spec videos are what got me into planted tanks back in 2014! Can't believe how long it's been.
Family and I made it safe from our move. Duluth MN to Knoxville Tennessee was a long and stressful drive but we did it.
Even all 5 of my tanks did not break 😀
Definitely want a Megaflex for a desk aquarium!
Lol
I have a Spec V and it’s a fantastic little tank. It’s my only tank currently, and the first one I’ve kept since I was a kid. While the stock light is pretty good, I ended up replacing it with a 20” Finnex HLC and have gotten better growth. Thanks for the vids!
I have a nostalgic love for my Spec III, even though it’s a bit small for critters. Such an elegant little system.
Enjoyable to watch! Thanks for the tip on adjusting the filtration on the 5g spec. I pulled mine up just a tad and it helped even out the chambre levels like you said. 👍🌿🐟
Spec 5 always had my attention, then mega flex happened.
Your plants look great.
Plants do look great! Mine are just ok.
I've just gotten my first Fluval Spec 2.6 gallon for my toddler daughter. It's doing well so far but I'm so glad to have found your channel... these videos are great thank you for posting them!
Your SPECS are awesome and so is Chattanooga Ed!
LOL!!! Thanks Rack your the Man !!!
@@ChattanoogaEd Congratulations!!!
Another awesome video! Thank you for all you do for the hobby!
Your fluval unboxing video was the first video of yours I ever watched! Thank you!
Man, I kind of fell off the wagon and stopped watching your videos for awhile. This is the first one I've watched in a few months, but I'm glad to see all of your tanks are doing well. I love the look of that 16 gallon!
Good to see you Jessy.
hey sean, when you show the marineland will you please get some footage and show the yoyo loach you have. I really love when he makes an appearance. Thanks in advance if you can. big fan. from Charlotte NC. kudos
+Carravagio16 I moved him to the 210 but I will show him for sure.
I have one of my prized Bettas homed in a Spec V.
He loves his tank and so do I.
I LOVE YOUR TANKS. I too went from little tanks 5.5 to 55 gallon big tank and I live in an apartment. its so worth the effort. it started by saving pet store fish. thank you for what you do.....
The fluval spec 2.6 was my first aquarium that I’ve had for almost a year now. I had so many problems in the beginning with green water algae. It’s finally mostly self sustaining and is stocked with just shrimp and snails. I wish I had started with the 16 gallon. A lot of people have said the smaller ones are hard to keep stable and I was a beginner so it was a nightmare lol
Looking good .Thx to your videos i will be getting my first fluval mega.
Beautiful tanks.... I love Fluval as well and have three.
Great to see an update on the SPECS. I really like this line of tanks. Also, Congrats to Chattanooga Ed!
Bettas actually love current, but they do require a low flow area too. My betta loves to play in the current.
You are the reason I have 5 Fluval tanks. I love them all!
Love your Channel! I have a Fluval Spec 5-gallon and would love to have a bigger one.
I like the Fluval tanks. I think they’re a good tank for starters. Having everything all in one is a great value.
That's quite a stack of My Aquarium Box Boxes!
I cut the plastic filter partition out on my spec V and I put in a suction cup sponge filter and heater in the same location the compartment used to be. The evap was proving problematic for me, stuff was accumulating back there and hard to clean, and the flow was too strong for my dumbo halfmoon bettas big flowy fins (not to mention, he would constantly hang out at the grill where the water was flowing to the filter, tearing up his fins pretty badly). I wasn't a fan of the light either (color to me wasn't warm white, too cold looking for me) so I put the smallest Current Satellite light made and called it a day. It's a pretty tank, but it's not without its flaws.
I’ve seen a few of those.looks neat.
ive got the 15g flex, but that 16g spec looks nice!
Love Fluval
hey on that timer, you can just turn the switch that the little plastic tabs hit to turn it on and off again.
I was demonstrating that it would work from the timer mechanism. Then demonstrating that I am a goof ball. :)
I just love your land scaping the tanks look so good.
Awesome as always
Thank you for the tips on the heater vs evaporation situation, Sean. Actually, appreciate all the tips on the smaller tanks and the updates on yours. They are looking awesome.
Fluval for the win!!
Love the Spec update. I have a Spec 2.6 and the Evo to set up so I always watch your videos for ideas.
Love your tanks and content. I started following you about two years ago and went from one tank to nine in a short amount of time. The first video I watched featured you and one of the clones. You did such a good job that I was convinced you had a twin. 😀
If 9 tanks are too many for you, I'm looking for donations.
Too many? No sir, still not enough. I may have a problem, and I'm totally fine with that. 😀
Awesome tanks keep it up
Your tanks are beautiful. Hopefully I can get mine to look like that
I love this tank! One of my works stores has this for a display, I literally drool every time I visit. #FluvalAllInOnesAreLife
Thank you for the update, I look forward to more.
I love the look of the all in one tanks.. I just got one given to me to try out as well. Nice and simple and I love the 'sump-like' benefits of keeping equipment out of the tank.
love your content, still picking up tips.
Where is the best place to get plants for your aquariums? I love your videos! Your channel has got me interested in using live plants 🌱 and trying out different fish! Thank you! 😁
I get them from all over. Locally when I can. But Buceplant.com has sent some great specimens. I’ve gotten stuff from eBay / amazon too.
Hello from NY! I have a contest winning alien hybrid Betta from Aquatic Experience that is enjoying my spec 5... I have a urge to set up a new tank for that is planted and scaped. Ive been in the market for materials to build that tank.... undecided, so much to choose from from relatively inexpensive to hugely expensive.... so it gives me pause, especially with the approaching holidays... Great vid and needless to say beautiful tanks!!
Flextec!
Great tanks. I have a Fluval Spec too. Great tank- and I learned the hard way about watching the water level/heater compartment 😀. Fingers crossed for a filter!
Very nice video! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love the Fluval Spec!
From what I've heard, the analogue timers like the one you have (with pins that you move up & down to set the time) work, but not the digital ones for some reason. Personally, I find the analogue ones cheaper, easier/faster to set up, and less room for error. Like the time we set up new digital timers right before going on vacation and came home to find our fish having trouble swimming through the hair algae forest that had sprung up after 125 straight hours of light lol
That makes sense. :)
@@pecktec However, I have to say that we've used the digital timer/power bar successfully on both the new Spec V and the old Spec I successfully, so I'd assume it'll work with the old Spec V and the new Spec III that I have in the setup cue. I wonder if/why the Spec 16 would be different, but as you suggested in your video, it's different enough that it almost needs another name than "Spec"
The problem with the light depends on your electricity standard. Works great with North American 60hz but in the rest of the world at 50hz a timer won’t work. At 50hz the light doesn’t come back on when the electricity is switched back on - you have to press the button on the light.
Different types of timer all do the same thing - turn the electricity on and off like a switch at a preset time. So the timer type is a red herring.
Love the videos. Thanks.
Looking good 👍👈
I've always loved the fluval spec aquariums! I have the first generation 2 gallon and the fluval 5.
Awesome set ups 👍
Are you playing in a new age jazz band now ; ) great tanks and chat. How about fertilizer?
keep up the good videos
Your videos are always so informative and I really enjoy watching them because I learned a lot from you thank you so very much
Always great content on your channel.
Congrats to Ed. How has the magnum polishing filter worked out? Was thinking of buying one for Christmas. So I'm throwing my hat in the ring and hoping to be the next lucky winner
Woohoo! Penguin power.
Great interesting videos, thank you.
Great round up of the specs!!! Can not wait for your next video.
I wish youtubers when talking about their various tanks, would state the gallons of what we're looking at. :) Thank you.
Sorry if I missed that. 16, 5 and, 2.8.
Great looking plants and tanks. Thanks for the informative videos.
You videos are always so informative.
Thank you.
Nice one..appreciate the story
Always love your videos!
Loving my Flex..
I wish i could grow plants that well! They all look great!
Bought a flex because of you, it's great!
All the tanks look great love the bloopers at the end of your videos. I always have this one dream where I have this one tank I forgot I had and the fish are alive and well. It the same dream over and over lol.
They all look great!
Thanks!
Great update. Love my Fluval tanks.
Fantastic update, I look to these videos as my tutorials in branching out into a variety of fluval tanks, I currently have a Fluval Flex 57ltr and Fluval Sea Evo 52ltr and want more.
I wanted to get a marine spec mega flex as it fits the full dimension of the cabinet and would create a small partition wall, its not that easy to get in the UK now without the cabinet.
Can I upgrade the lighting on the Flex at all as I do feel it's under powered?
Thanks for the updates. Happy Thanksgiving!
Ayo nice specs. What are those red fish in the Kevin work tank?
Rosey Barbs
Very nice tanks!
Thanks for another good video.
Beautiful tanks
Congratulations Chattanooga Ed! Every time is see a Fluval tank I think, “Pecktec!” Is that weird?!? LOL.
The bloopers.... My favorite part!!
Another great video!
Thanks for the update 😬
Congrats to Ed!
The Specs are looking nice. I think I found a spot for that office tank I want to put in at the beginning of the year.
Love the specs
Too kewl I would be highly interested to see what you would do with a Marine land 5 gallon portrait tank I have four of them
Hopefully 3rd times a charm
Pecktec Sunday!!
Nice tanks.
Great video
