Fluval Edge

The tank sports a built in filter system and light. All parts are branded Edge and what makes this system stand out is that it is enclosed. As the advertising states, you can fill it up to the rim. This cuts down on evaporation and looks really cool.

Of course you are thinking “How on earth are you supposed to clean this if all you have is a hole at the top to go through?

Magnets. Same thing as you use to clean your tank now. Other accessories are a vacuum, thermometer, net and of course filter material, all branded Edge.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is a low light tank. Not suitable for salt water or high-light freshwater tanks. It uses 2-10 watt halogen lights so the intensity is there to give you the shimmer effect. Nice. jc5yp7nah4
