Spiderguardnano Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I want to get one forsure awesome tank Anyone have pics Link to comment
Tamberav Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Wow! The black top is a total let down for me It doesn't appear to have frosted glass either, instead the black edge they gave it has the appearance of netting. I know it is just personal opinion but I really loved the concept one. I figured if you removed the hood you would still have the frosted look. The black they did just feels distracting and too dark.

I plan to run mine without the top but I agree the concept hood is much better. I didn't even notice the black netting till now. It's sooo ugly now that I see it and I can't stop looking at it. I may have to reconsider one now...hmm.... Link to comment

squamptonbc Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I don't like the black netting look at all, the frosted look from the M series looks far better in my view, and not sure I like the hood either, not a fan of hoods on tanks. Link to comment

And just so everyone is aware. There's not an easy way to remove the honeycomb netting...easily. I'm sure some of you crazy people will find a way but as for now I have the waterline sitting right below the honeycomb or as close as I can and still using the black top. I'd like to get it replaced with just a regular glass top and run my mini tide... but I keep promising myself and the Fluval Gods i'll try their light. Link to comment

The honeycomb netting comes off easily for me =P. Mine came with part of it off already so I plan to remove all of it. It's on the outside of the glass and easily razor off. Link to comment

FlamingPrawn Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yep it worked... you're my hero Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yep it worked... you're my hero just be careful when you get to the AIO back chamber. i plan to keep mine there Link to comment
Tamberav Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Glad it comes off but I still like the look of frosted rims I feel like they sort of cheaped out with the changes to get more profit. Link to comment

Yeah I wanted the frosted lid :/. I made sure to keep the honeycomb around the back chamber haha. Have you upgraded your return pump yet or know what you're going to put? I'm really bad with dimensions and such Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 make sure you plug that hole in the middle too. i dont know why they insist on doing that. the AIO part is kind of stupidly designed. Link to comment
aibocyrus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I just picked mine up yesterday. I had to call around to all of the local Fluval Dealers and After 5 or 6 different places, I found one about an hour from me that had 3. I just got the tank set up last night but will be adding sand this afternoon and the saltwater. I can include pictures this evening for anyone interested. Link to comment
