Fluval Edge Compact Heater

February 24th, 2011 Taylor No comments

A heater can be a very vital accessory for your Fluval Edge Aquarium or any aquarium for that matter.  Depending on the type of fish it could literally be a life and death decision.  We here at Fluval Edge Reviews think that Hagen has designed a great product with their Fluval Edge Compact Heater.  The heater is the perfect size to easily suction cup to the glass of the Fluval Edge.  The sleek and simple design doesn’t take away from the style of your tank by becoming a noticeable eye sore.  The heater is completely automated to heat the aquarium to 78 degrees then shut off once it does.  It takes the hassle out of maintaining a healthy water temperature for your fish.  The heater is also made of a tough polymer so it will not crack or break like traditional heaters.  To sum it up, the Fluval Edge Compact Heater is a great heater choice for your Fluval Edge or any tank around the same size.

Fluval Edge Filter Replacement

April 12th, 2010 Taylor 2 comments

We here at Fluval Edge Reviews usually feature one item in our posts, but for this one we are going to feature both of the replacement items for the Fluval Edge filter.

Fluval Edge Replacement Carbon

The first product is your first line of defense in protecting your aquarium from harmful elements, the Fluval Edge Carbon Replacement Packs.  There are three carbon packs in each package which can last your anywhere from 2-3 months.  The convenient sachets contain a premium grade carbon providing superior absorption qualities, which eliminate toxic impurities, odors and discolorations.

Fluval Edge Foam and Biomax Renewal Kit

The last part of the Fluval Edge Filter is the Fluval Edge Foam and Biomax Renewal Kit.  The foam insert is the bottom part of the filter and its main purpose is to filter out any particles or debris of fish waste or excess food that otherwise would be recirculated into your aquarium and cause ammonia levels to rise.  The biomax filter houses beneficial bacteria.  The biomax media is porous and the perfect consistency to allow beneficial to colonize in.  This biological filter is crucial in cycling your aquarium.  The beneficial bacteria break down fish waste and other chemicals that would otherwise poison your fish.

The Fluval Edge Aquarium has a great AquaClear filter that was a revolutionary breakthrough for Hagen and aquarium filtration systems.

Fluval Edge Pre Filter Sponge

The Fluval Edge Pre Filter Sponge is a great way to add extra filtration to your aquarium, especially if it is new or hasn’t completely cycled.  The Pre Filter Sponge conveniently slides over the water suction intake on the filter.  This optional filter is very beneficial as it prevents debris such as food or fish waste from being sucked into the filter.  Not only does it filter out debris, but it also houses beneficial bacteria for added biological filtration for your aquarium.  This added biological filtration will help you keep low ammonia levels and also help in eliminating harmful chemicals that can kill your fish.  A great optional filter for any Fluval Edge aquarium.

Fluval Edge Fish Net

Today’s featured product is the Fluval Edge Fish Net.  This net is specially designed just for the design of the Fluval Edge Aquarium.  As we have learned from experience removing fish from the Edge with a net can prove a difficult task especially when your are up against a quick shrimp.  Trying to remove fish in the Edge with a regular fish net is close to impossible.  But it is possible to turn this battle of whits to your advantage with the Fluval Edge fish net.  The Fluval Edge Fish Net provides a wide variety of features for making maintenance work in the aquarium very convenient. Angled and triangular head provides easy top and corner access while the soft mesh netting ensures safe use with delicate species.  If you don;t want to spend hours trying to remove fish from your tank then invest in a Fluval Edge fish net.

First Featured Product!

Fluval Edge Algae Magnet

Its time for our first feature product post!  We decided to one that we really liked and worked really well.  The first ever featured product is the Fluval Edge Algae Magnet.  This magnet is great cleaning tool for the Fluval Edge.  Because of the shape and design of the tank cleaning can present a problem, especially on the sides and corners of the tank.  Using the magnetic algae cleaner significantly cuts the time that it takes to clean the Fluval Edge.  The magnetic algae cleaner’s rough inner surface gives the inside of the glass a good scrub removing all of the algae.  The scrubbing surface of the algae cleaner is large but slim.  This is very beneficial as the large surface area allows you to clean the tank quicker while also being able to see what your are cleaning.  Its sleek design allows you to reach all of the hard to clean areas like corners or behind rocks.  All in all the Fluval Edge Magnetic Algae cleaner is a great cleaning too and we couldn’t imagine trying to clean our Fluval Edge Aquarium without it.
