Terrible issue with the packing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2011

The desin of this tank is excellent however the packing leaves much to be desired. I have recently been delivred a tank that arrived with the top shattered. The only reason for this is that when packed, the manufacturer places two bottles of addatives onto the top of the tank. This coupled with inadequate cardboard sheets as packing leaves no protection for the glass.
Any pressure on the top of the box will cause the bottles to press on the tank and smash it. I have now received two tanks in this state.
I would strongly suggest that this item is not sent by courier as it is pack at the moment. Full marks to Amazon for their excellent customer service as they sorted out my refund immediately. Excellent customer service that leaves me confident to shop with them again, The only hassle was to dispose of the broken tank myself as we refused the second delivery when we opened it and found it was broken.
We have since purchased the tank from a retialer and collected ourselves and it does look fantastic once set up

Full mark to Amazon

I knew it was small when I bought it, having seen it in my local pet store I thought it looked awesome. The filter is good and it looks stunning, however the small hole at the top and the high water level makes cleaning it a difficulty. Mine also arrived with cracks at the top and after trying to return the item and get a new one it was not happening so ended up settling with a broken one. This has also made me stop using Amazon.

High Maintenance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2010
I have recently returned to fishkeeping after a 2 year break and not wanting a large setup again opted for this 23 litre Fluval edge in Black.
Having kept fish for over 30 years this is the biggest challenge yet for maintaining good water quality only endless small water changes will keep this looking its best.
The plants are growing fine under the two halogens,the filter system is easy too start,stop and mantain.
Negatives are not easy working within the small opening at the top,filter needs too be on slowest setting otherwise algae can increase rapidly,very limited on the fish you can have and the amount of water changes make it not suitable for people without the time for proper maintenance.
Overall it looks good makes a good feature and talking point just wish it was larger capicity.
I would not recommend this tank for any beginners or people wanting too keep goldfish only small tropical fish suitable(small heater required).

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2018
I do actually own the Fluval Edge 46 l and I have had it for about 1 year. It's great in all aspects except when you need to put something in and if you have the water line as high as it gets, you'll have to take out water to not overflow it. It can also be some hazzle to get hold of the fishes with this small opening, But at the same time it is great to be able to see the fishes from above. If you're going to have fish in with his back fin, you'll have to lower the water level, otherwise they'll get hurt from the ceiling. I do also own another small aquarium (32 litres) but the Fluval Edge is much nicer looking.

Would have been good to have received one not smashed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2012

Fantastic product but only if you buy it from elsewhere. The packaging was totally inadequate for a glass fish tank. After receiving two smashed, Amazon refused to send a 3rd and refunded the money as though it was my fault - very poor service. It's okay I bought one from Pet Planet, cheaper and arrived extremely well packed an in perfect condition.
Product looks fantastic so definately recommend the product just not Amazon to provide it.
Shame as Amazon are usually so good.

Looks good but difficult to clean and pump is abysmal
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2015
OK AQUARIUM DESIGN
I've now had this aquarium for two and a half years. I bought it because it looked smart and because it gives you more than just the standard straight-on view. The stand and LED light have lasted ok. There is a problem with cleaning in that there is only one small aperture, even after you've drained some of the water off. If you're tempted by the all-round view you get from this aquarium, I suggest getting a Biorb.

BUT VERY POOR PUMP
The first pump last almost a year. The second lasted nine months. I have just decided to re stock my tank - it is mature and I foolishly decided to take a gamble and buy a third pump. Avoid.

Best Aquarium Ever
Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2011
Verified Purchase

I have owned several 10 gal aquariums, and always love them for a little while and then get tired of the maintenance. I wanted something easy to take care of, and cool looking. I got both with this.

Looks: Without argument, this is the coolest looking aquarium I have ever seen (outside of celebrity homes). It has clean lines, no nasty residue showing all over it, and small enough to put almost anywhere. The only mechanics showing will be the tube in the back of the tank that can be covers by the Fluval bamboo wall. The top of the aquarium is glass touching water so you can look in it from all angles. The top covers the filter and surface of the water, so it looks like it is just a cube of water. The filter hangs on the back of the tank, concealed in a cover with the power cord coming out of the bottom so you don't see any of this.

The design is amazing, and don't be concerned about the fish health as long as you put fish in it that don't need a lot of room, or wont outgrow it. I will talk about that below.

Getting it started: They give you very detailed instructions on how to start your fluval edge. I also watched a YouTube video of a professional setting it up to make sure I wasn't going to kill my first batch of fish. The filter system is pretty easy to set up and once it is running, it is VERY QUIET. I can't hear mine unless I lean close and listen. The most important thing to me was making it look great. Because the opening is so small, you can't fit big decorations in it. I went with a small stone Chinese lantern, the Fluval Bamboo wall, a small fake bamboo plant, and 3 small real plants. (If you are new to real plants I recommend them, and will talk about them as well.) I also bought a bag of river rocks (about 4 smooth, round, palm-sized rocks) and placed them around the bottom. This turned out great looking and not too much going on in the small aquarium.

You will need to let your aquarium cycle with bacteria that is provided for a couple of days (at least). This makes the aquarium less perfectly clean, which will shock your fish. I gave mine only about 4 days because I was putting in a Betta fish and they are a very hardy fish that are used to a clean bowl every few weeks. My Betta (Frank, as I so affectionately call him) loved it. He didn't have any problem adjusting to the new environment (he was in a 1 & 1/2 gal bowl) and figured out where the air surface was quickly. (Betta's and frogs have lungs, and need to go to the surface to breath.) I used normal aquarium rocks as the bottom instead of sand, as that was recommended. I have had my aquarium for about 6 months, and it still looks great. The plants are thriving, the fish and frogs are doing great, and I change the filter only as often as needed. This is a well oiled machine.

Plants: I had never done plants before and assumed they would not make it as most of my house plants don't. I am not a plant person, by far. I went to the pet store, asked for plants that wouldn't overtake my aquarium, and bought 3 little plants I was told didn't need a ton of light. (The light in the top of the Fluval Edge is perfect, but not overly bright.) I put them in as I set up the aquarium. 2 went in the little boxes on the Fluval bamboo wall, with some aquarium rocks holding them in, and one went in the back behind my stone lantern. I put them in when the water was just barely over them, and then filled it up gently, not to displace them. I had to re-plant them once, cause they came out of the rocks, but once they take root they don't budge. I had a couple of stem losses, but over time they are doing awesome. So easy, no work. If you can't keep them alive, they sell plant nutrients that you add to the water that wont hurt your fish. Try the plants, they look so much better than fake, and help keep the tank clean.

Fish: I knew I wanted to put Frank, my male Betta, in the tank, but didn't know what else. I let Frank chill in there alone for a couple of weeks, let him get the tank fishy enough that it was at good levels for other fish. I read so many blogs about how the Fluval Edge was not safe for fish, and that you should only put in one fish, or three fish, or only certain fish. I understand their concerns, but I am not that picky. I believe you should be smart, and pay attention to the tank and it's occupants. If you notice a problem, act fast and ask your local pet store about any problems. I worried my Betta would bully the other fish. So, I read African Dwarf Frogs would be good tank mates for them. I bought 2 and put them in. (Make sure they are African Dwarf Frogs and not African Clawed Frogs. Some pets stores confuse the two, and sell one as the other. African Clawed Frogs are more aggressive, so look up the difference to make sure you buy the right one.) I made sure they could find the surface, and they did after swimming to the top glass and sliding along it until the found the air. Frank thought they should know he owned the place and started swimming up to them and trying to nip. After they swam away, and just moved whenever he came around, Frank got bored with it and they now will hang next to each other without any problems. I also bought a small Chinese algae eater (very pretty fish, kind of an orange-pink color) and made sure he had algae disks in case there wasn't enough algae build up. He is really funny, and likes to swim at my cats as they watch and get them riled up. He often will try to clean Frank, which he does not appreciate and they will due a little 20 second chase. I believe you don't have to worry too much about what fish you put in as long as you: check how big they get, how aggressive they are, and that they don't need special treatment (like salt or high heat).

Ongoing Care of the Fluval Edge: I have had no trouble keeping the water level high (as the water does evaporate and need a refill about every 2 weeks) and continue to keep track of my plants, water clarity, and tank occupants. Unfortunately, one of my frogs died, so I replaced him with 2 more. I have a total of 1 Betta, 1 small algae eater, and 3 frogs. I noticed one day, about months after buying my Fluval edge, that Frank had a light spot on his head, and it looked cloudy. His fins also looked clumpy and ragged. So I googled it and found out he had a fungus infection. I hurried to the pet store and bought a new filter and treatment tablets (all pretty cheap) and started as the box directed. Since most tablet treatments are for 10 gal tanks, I called the help number on the box and they said to cut it in half for the 6 gal Fluval. I changed out about a gallon of water for fresh water, removed the carbon out of the filter, and put in half a tablet. I noticed Frank's head started clearing up and him being active after a couple of days. I am now looking into ways to prevent this from happening.

Overall, this is a great aquarium for someone that wants the look without the hassle of an aquarium. It is stylish and fun, but not hard to set up or maintain. As with all pets, you need to just keep an eye out for warning signs and ask your local pet store any questions you have. I don't think you need to put a lot of fish in this small of a tank, but if you want more than I have just keep an eye on them. They may cause your tank to need cleaning more often. Also, I would get a small magnetic cleaner scrubby thing, simply to push any bubbles that build up at the top of the tank to the surface area, so nothing obscures your view.

Well, I hope this review really helps. I had to look up so much and read so many conflicting articles that I decided to just try it for myself. I hope this helps you make the decision on if this aquarium is right for you. Thanks for reading, and God bless!

Purchased this THREE times through different online stores through Amazon....even Petco. Nobody seems to know how to pack and ship a glass fishtank. Every merchant just threw it in a box with hardly (or in one case no) bubblewrap and the fishtank came smashed EVERY time! Thank goodness for amazon's easy return policy! Go buy this locally instead and save yourself the headache. Petco sells them in stores for a little more than what you'll pay here, but at least it will be in one piece.

I Love this aquarium - and I have several! It's beautiful and modern. It's VERY easy to keep clean and runs very quiet! I have a betta fish in mine and it's about maintenance free, - the only thing I wish I didn't have to do is take the cover off to feed the fish each time, which isn't a big deal -- but otherwise, it's a perfect tank!
