Fluval Chi II 5 Gallon Aquarium Kit with White Trim

Morgan: Title: A Serene Oasis of Elegance and Tranquility

I recently purchased the Fluval Chi II Series Aquarium Set in White, and I am absolutely thrilled with my decision. This 5-gallon aquarium has truly transformed my living space into a serene oasis of elegance and tranquility. From its ambient LED lighting to the flowing water feature and overall design, this aquarium has exceeded my expectations in every way.

First and foremost, the design of the Fluval Chi II is simply stunning. Its sleek and modern appearance seamlessly blends into any room, adding a touch of sophistication to my home decor. The white color of the tank is both refreshing and versatile, allowing it to complement a wide range of interior styles.

The ambient LED lighting is one of the standout features of this aquarium. It creates a mesmerizing visual spectacle, especially in the evenings when the room lights are dimmed. The soft, gentle glow not only enhances the aesthetics of the tank but also has a calming effect, making it a perfect addition to unwind after a long day.

The flowing water feature is a unique touch that sets the Fluval Chi II apart from other aquariums. The gently...

ReyRey: Ideal para espacios chicos, se aprecia elegante. La filtración al momento es buena. Siento que la luz no es muy brillante. Es una sola conexión eléctrica, que es el filtro/luz. Tiene una palanquita manual detrás del filtro para prender y apagar la luz, no se maneja de forma independiente al motor del filtro. No salpica ni hace remolinos, ideal para un pez betta. El filtro no succiona gambitas, tanto por la altura como el tamaño chico del filtro.

Michael: Light stopped working after a year and a half. I can't turn it on or off... They need to redesign this AIO filter/light because it's not good. It's a clean setup, BUT I will never buy another Fluval product since they are OVERPRICED in my opinion.

Miss S J BlackbournMiss S J Blackbourn: I hesitated about getting this tank as I thought it might be a bit fiddly but the waterfall and shape won me over and I’m so pleased with it a may get another. It is set up just for breeding blue shrimp. I wanted to grow plants out of the top so needed something tall. The filter is better than I thought it would be. I’ve added some filter rock to the upper part to improve biological filtration. I’ve had the set up for about 2 months now. Nerite snails mean I’ve never had to clean the glass and actually the plants are growing quite well with the original light, although I have just ordered an upgrade that will clip on the side as an extra.
The only downside with this tank is the light being integral with the filter. It means you can’t set it on a timer. I’m not that bothered about this with my set up but this could be an issue for some people. My shrimp have grown and my water parameters are excellent. Il like the way the waterfall makes the flow so gentle but effective.

Beth C.: I purchased my Fluval Chi II back in May when I was looking to upgrade to a 5 gallon aquarium from the 2.6 gallon Fluval Spec III. I had been looking at the Fluval Chi on and off for a couple of years and finally decided to give it a try. I've had the tank up and running for 6 months now and I have to say that I absolutely love it! My betta and nerite snail seem to like it too.

This tank has a very elegant design and the combination filter/fountain/light is a really neat feature. I own 3 other 5 gallon aquariums, a Fluval Spec V, a Marineland Contour 5, and a Marina Style 5 Glass Aquarium Kit, and this one is one of my favorites due to it's dimensions. The Chi is 10 inches wide by 10 inches deep, by about 12 inches high (in terms of swimming space for the fish, the aquarium itself is a bit taller due to the filter cube and it's foot) so the fish have quite a bit of space to swim around in all directions, yet the tank has a small enough footprint to fit comfortably on a desk or a nightstand.

If you're looking for a nice elegant tank, this one might fit your bill, but it does have some cons:

• Like others have said, the filter is just so so. It's not very...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: This is my third fish tank over the last 10 years. It has to be the best so far. I thought in the past it best to get a simple tank and add the other bits separately like the filter, heater, aerator etc. Having gone through a few filters and what with all the wires I decided to buy something a bit more "all in one". Admittedly I have not had this tank for long but it has not disappointed. I have had to add in a heater as my fish are tropical but the filter and lights are built in along with a waterfall to give some extra oxygen in the water. So I now only have two wires going to the tank which is much neater. The sound of falling water make it very relaxing as well.

The lid provided should give it some protection from evaporation and the tank is tall enough for standard heaters to fit which the old tank wasn't. You can switch off the lights if you want to but there is always a light on illuminating the fountain from the filter. To replace the filter or just give it a clean you just need to remove the lead from the plug, slide the filter up and off the side of the tank and remove the parts from underside.

All in all a very attractive tank which has pretty much...

Julie: i would like to start but just saying delivery was next day with prime and as it said it arrived.
This tank is gorgeous in every way so simple to set up, I haven't added anything to it yet just needed rinsing so I filled it to check there were no leaks and it was running fine.i wasn't disappointed I also ordered the little tree fountain to add to the top. Now I have red a review on this the lady explains the flow was not as good so she added a pipe line. Now my started off second to none lots of pressure through the top ornament then I emptied half the tank to just. Add more to make sure there is no dust or nothing to affect it before continuing well after doing this I switched pump back on and low and behold I now know what the lady was saying the pressure had dropped I could see the flow but could not hear it... But I had done lots of research on this tank before the purchase and all that is needed should this happen to anyone (it can happen when changing filters also) remove the lid and tilt the pump to the left anti clockwise and return to middle this may need doing a couple of times. It occurs when it had been switched off as the pump drains it sometimes causes an air...
