![]() Now, to be fair, there’s not a noticeable difference between Fluval Flex 9 and 15 gallon model and Fluval Flex 32.5 model besides the size. It comes in 2 other sizes if you’re looking for something smaller, and it’s sure to last you years to come and never disappoint. From a respectable company, the Fluval Flex 32.5 is one of the Fluval fish tank series that doubles as a marine aquarium. ![]() It’s honestly so cool to look at and it’s one of the best fish tanks out there. It’s perfect for the beginner aquarist with its simple upkeep and ease of use. The Fluval Flex 32.5 is a great option for those looking to house smaller aquatic species such as bettas and guppies, or those who want an easy-to-clean filter with low maintenance requirements for their tank. You also have the option of using natural sunlight if you want to save on electricity costs! With its sleek design and high-quality materials, this aquarium will make your house feel like a tropical paradise. The LED lights are energy-efficient and come with three color settings: blue, purple, or green. It has an adjustable flow rate, so you can control the water level as needed. Also, I did not buy this tank from Chewy and my review is no reflection on them.The Fluval Flex 32.5 is an aquarium that comes with a filter and lighting system which makes it perfect for any novice aquarist who wants to set up a tank in their home without spending much money. In case you are wondering, the pump is on the lowest setting and there are 3 fish in the tank and I'm finding it needs weekly water changes. Don't get gravel or anything else in the bottom of the filter section as you won't be able to remove them. The suction cups on the bottom of the pump pull off when removing pump and the space is so small there is no way to get them out. In the first 4 weeks of having this tank the pump wouldn't restart twice after being shut off and needed to be taken apart to get to work again. I have to shut the filter off to feed the fish as the food gets sucks right into the filter. The inlet and outlet are on the same side of the tank making for circular water flow. I have to scrape the sides with a razor blade every 4 days. The light is overly bright and causes ton's of algae. If you go to Fluval's website you will see that they don't recommend any tank under 20 gal. Not enough for me to go through the hassle of exchanging it, but still, it's a $100 5 gallon tank. My only real issue was there is a tiny chip by the filter on the glass. Overall a very nice tank and I would buy again. It measures 60 PAR in the center at substrate level and about 45-48 in the corners, so low light plants will be good. The good news is, if you're looking to do a low tech planted aquarium, it will be just fine. I might cut a hole in the plastic for the cord. My heater is too big to hide in the pump area so it has to stay in the main tank and that means the lid won't sit properly. There's only one cutout for cords by the filter. I initially wasn't happy that the lid was plastic and had a big hole down the middle. The other benefit of the holes is it circulates the water in that chamber so it doesn't get stagnant, which was another complaint. I ended up punching 6, 1/8" hole along the output tube and it slowed the current enough that my Betta is able to swim under the rain bar normally unless he gets too close. I bought a rain bar to help distribute the force but it was still too strong. The tank was for my Betta and I knew all the complaints about the strong current. Love the size and the look, but the drawback is that you have less room to aquascape, but I made it work. Was going to buy a cheaper tank, but I wanted a smaller depth so I bought this one. ![]() ![]() Worth the Extra $50 to Me to save 3" of Depth
