Flex comes compact with several great features including its easy feed large cut out opening for simple feeding. Its multi-directional dual output nozzles mean the tank water flow can be adjusted to depending on your tank setup.In the box you get the tank, lights, remote control, filter pump and media, flow controller and a none slip mat to place the aquarium on. I get asked a lot about fish going into the end filter compartment through the holes. In my tank I have left it uncovered as the fish and shrimp go in and out as they please. Now you need to rinse out the tank with clean water and wipe with a clean damp cloth – DO NOT USE SOAP! If this is something you’re worried about then you can add some thin gause over the cover to stop it happening. The finished nano tank

You can get the exact one here that covers tanks up to 60 l so is still good if you have the larger version.

After running the Flex like this for 3 days I then turned the filter and heater on and ran it empty for week to make sure the temperature was right and held. This also gave the tank some time to settle before adding any fish or shrimp. It’s really easy to setup and maintain, which is key when choosing a small tank, but still gives you enough room to be creative with the scene inside.
