Office Fluval Edge
Was given a Fluval Edge 6 gallon tank as the person did not like the small opening on the top, I mentioned that the glass top can come off and the tank would still be perfectly safe but he didn't want it. So first thing was the glass top came off and I ditched the filter and light
Started Dec 7, 2018 Equipment: light: Kessil A80 tuna blue circulation: Hydor Pico 180 x2 heater: 50 watt Didn't weigh the rock or sand but I went off of looks. Stocking will be pretty light, probably do some sexy shrimp maybe a pom pom crab. For fish I might do a firefish. Corals will be zoas, acans, and a few sps. Dry setup and with water Will be creating a cover for the box that extends up from the base to dress up the cables a little.

Looks great. Any plans for hob filter to remove particulates from the display?

I started one about six weeks ago. Got bryopsis after 5 weeks from a piece of live rock I used to seed the tank.
It looks really good with the top off. I kept mine on and have concerns when it comes time to use a razor blade. |

No filtration at this time. Just water changes to start then I'll go from there depending on how it's working out

Hello it was a good idea to remove the top glass, hard to keep the glasses clean with it in place. Had such an aquarium a while ago, the filtration solved with an external filter with a little live rock in it.
kind regards syd. |

Also, if I take the top off could I use the original equipment still? Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk |

Without the top on you would not be able to use the black cover that hides the light as it sits on top of the tank, other than that you can use all original equipment

Would the weight of the top once unattached put undue stress on the sides and possibly cause a problem? I came across several comments in the web that removing the top could cause breaks in the corner seals and leak. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk |

Very nice. Going to be removing the top glass and change my lighting for mine. It's to hard to work on with the glass top

Love your video! Thank you for sharing! I think porcelain crabs have been my favorite reef critter ever. Your little pom pom is adorable!

He really only comes out when I feed, otherwise he hangs upside down in his little cave.
