Fluval SPEC is a contemporary looking aquarium designed for small areas such as desktops and countertops. This 5-gallon etched glass aquarium with aluminum trim combines style and functionality in one small package. Though small in stature, Fluval SPEC is big on features. It comes with a sleekly designed overhanging LED lighting system, consisting of 37 powerful LED lamps, that arches above the aquarium to provide brilliant illumination for plants and décor.

The aquarium includes a powerful circulation pump with adjustable output nozzle and a large 3-stage filtration system that provides more than enough filtration for ultra clean and clear water.

It also comes with all the necessary filter media for effective and thorough mechanical, chemical and biological filtration: a porous foam block with convenient handle traps large particles and debris, activated carbon adsorbs unwanted odors, discolorations and impurities and BioMax insert provides optimal colonization of beneficial bacteria and enhances the nitrification of fish wastes. The pump and filtration system are conveniently located in a separate chamber at one end of the aquarium to simplify maintenance.

To ensure the well-being of aquarium inhabitants, it is essential to maintain your aquarium. At the very minimum, remove 20% of the water once a week and replace with tap water that is of similar temperature to your tank and treated with the correct dose of Nutrafin Aqua Plus. Regular replacement of Fluval filter media is essential to ensure optimum performance.

The filter media should be changed alternately in order to maintain continuous biological activity. To enhance bacterial action, pour a dose of Nutrafin Cycle onto your filter inserts each time you change the media.
