I’ve joined the forum to gather information at this point solely on the Flex 32gallon. All my google searches have brought me to this page, so I figured it was time to sign up and ask the questions I’m not able to find through google. I’m planning on heavily modifying the flex 32 with the overwhelming reason being the lid. I love the clean modern look of the lid. Also love that they are completely covered over the tank (no pre cut holes for filters hanging off the back) and they will fit the Fluval plant 3.0 without modification. These are the reasons I’ve landed on this tank.
But here’s what doesn’t work for me.
My tank sits on the end of my kitchen island. Viewable from both the living room, and the kitchen.
I want to remove the filter wall as well as all the honey comb on the back. I know people have removed it from the top, but haven’t seen it removed from the whole back wall. Also, I’ll be removing the honey comb from the top lip of the tank. I then plan to run a black vinyl strip 1/4-1/2 tall along the top edge of the tank. I don’t want to be able to see the light between the water line, and the top of the glass. Even with the honey comb, it’s still visable.
I know this seems crazy, like a lot of work to make an aio tank not aio, but my obsession with the lid for the reasons above are my reasoning…
Anyways… cya in the forums!
