Flex / Mega Flex Updates 

Who knew amanos were in to time travel?

I personally really love both Flex tanks, especially the 15 gallon...I have the 15 gallon which houses my Endlers...I like it OK. Grows my Crypts really well but yeah, trying to grow anything beyond low light plants is going to require more lighting for sure. What I love most about your videos is your sharing of your observations over time, I love that sort of reflection...so thank you Sean...I enjoy getting your videos a lot. I would love the Flex 32 gallon but my house is only 250 square feet...I would have to get rid of my drum set...not happening!

That ornament isn't very large, but it sure packed a lot of shrimp... almost as if it were bigger on the inside.

You're killing me with that Mega Flex (in a good way). I've been in love with that tank since you first showed it at that show a year or so back.

Good to see your peacock gudgeon again! A fish I started keeping myself after seeing them here on your channel. I am now growing out grandchildren of the original gudgeons I bought.

Great job on yet another helpful video! Thank you for all you do for my hobby!

I like that you cover smaller aquariums compared to a lot of other well known RU-vidrs ;)

Love the megaflex bud!! Turned out so nice!! You’ve been my inspiration to start my own megaflex and my first attempt at live plants 🤞🏻

Watching the latest pecktec video on a Sunday morning is one of my favorite things

Love the Mega Flex it has that unique shape great for viewing the fish and plants . Beautiful Tank !!!

MEGAFLEXXXXX! Always makes me laugh when you put the sound effect on it. 😂

The shrimp like the TARDIS because it's bigger on the inside, of course. What you don't know is they have a giant aquarium all to themselves in there lol

I have been studying so many videos lately off learning Father Fish way..... I dont know if you know or feel about his method but sounds like you are spot on from your own learning.... I have my Fluval Flex 32.5 and cant wait to aquascape with Father Fish method and this tank.

GORGEOUS PLANTED TANKS... THATS MY DREAM !!! all beautiful planted tanks with healthy happy fish .... first time to see a mega flex tank & it’s a mega nice aquarium... just purchased aquatic plant seeds and bought some 1/2 price Tanks at the Petco aquarium sale so i can get started growing plants and breeding fish

I love the MegaFlex just for size and aesthetics, but I love the way the smaller tank was scaped. As always, excellent work.

That was an enjoyable video. It made me want to try that Fluval tank. 🌿🐟Ingenious water changes. I like the way the top opens and stays open so you can work on it. I like the ability to add extra lighting. Did your stand come with it?🤔 Thanks 🦋

I love the "Flex" series of aquariums.

Great vid and lovely tank, hate to put a downer on it but when you were talking about the long lived ammano shrimp I noticed a guppy flashing on a leaf . Hopefully just a slight prob with your water , I'm having the same prob at the mo 😕

Thanks to you, I bought a MegaFlex to add to my Flex 9 and school of Specs, but I can't set it up just yet, as we are turning the old dining room into a FISH ROOM! Great problem to have, also means I've got more time to plan and learn from people like you. I've got most of the stuff for it (substrate, wood, rocks, maybe some of the plants, some of the fish), but am still debating whether it'll be for my two fantail goldfish or for the betta sorority I'm planning (have the tetras & corydoras for it already in other tanks). I've got to find someplace to get the second light bar for it though, not as easy to track down in Canada...

Really enjoy your videos. Fixing to to take the plunge on a megaflex thanks to you.

It’s always nice to see a tank update. I’ve been eyeing the little 9 gallon flex for a few weeks. I thought an office tank might be nice, but I really don’t have a place to put it.

I've missed th smaller style tank videos - so I really enjoyed this one. You're making me want to start a new tank!

Best in depth vid on both Flexs! Great video yet again PT! Great job!

I hope those cold computer hands choose me! I would love to have a nice filter like that! Another great video Pecktec, you've always got such nice tanks!

Have to admit when you first scaped the mega flex I thought you could have done so much more. But now it's all grown out it looks brilliant! I ended up buying a mega flex off the back of your video and absolutely love it. What do you think to the pump flow? Strong enough for you? If i knew a perfect 1000lph pump that would fit perfectly in the back chamber I'd be tempted to upgrade. I'm only using the one light plants seem to do fine but fluval customer services recommended never going over 75% in white red blue green. Said it will cause an algae bloom?! Anyway keep up the amazing work! Look forward to future updates

Hey , love the channel! What are those yellow and black fish with blue fins in your 15G?

Love your videos! Been watching for a few years. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the info! Did your Mega Flex come with the pad/mat?

Yeah, I'm particularly intrigued by the unknown red plant also - the mega flex💪looks amazing. Would be great to see more frequent updates of tanks/trimming.

Amazing! I have 15 gallon Fluvial, but I would like to change for more gallons, what do you thing?

Love your videos. I found that lowering the blue on my Fluval lights to 10% or lower has drastically reduced the algae on all of my tanks

The megaflex is my favorite of the two as well. The 15 is nice, but the mega is hands down gorgeous. Congrats on how it has turned out!

Just watched your commentary comparing the mega flex with the flex 16. I want the mega and your thoughts solidified my thoughts. Sadly I don’t have the space and the 16 works in my space. I will give it a bit more time and make the decision. Thank you. I enjoy your videos. Larry

I have a Mega Flex and love it. Where did you get your kick stands for the hood. I really need those!

Pulled the trigger on the Mega Flex due largely to your recommendation. Can't wait to get started on this planted tank project with my two sons. Looking forward to your next update. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Love your tanks! And it’s great how you use the fishwater in your yard. I use it for my houseplants and some outdoor shrubs. Please keep me in the running for a filter

Really liking the Mega scape, fits my style (but you’ve got it going better). Good stuff.

I love my 15g Flex. The 32 is HIGH on my wish list! Thanks for all the info you provide.

Excellent in-depth coverage on your two Flex tanks! Great giveaway, too. Thank you for all your work!

Hello, I will be picking up this tank soon. I know its better to have the second light but will the 1 light suffice for decent plant growth

Been eying the flex, i watched a video on someone setting it up the other day and today your video was suggested, watched all 3 of your flex videoes and its a really nice tank. I want one myself, but it cost alot so have to wait to save up some money for it. Really like the videoes i've seen so far, you seem like you know alot.

Love all your tanks. Have been suscribed to your channel for quite some time. Was wondering how your 5 gal fluval is doing? You are one of the Masters of fish keeping for your tanks to be so beautiful.

Awesome video! These kinds of things really inspire me for my own channel! Thanks for the great content!

Your tanks are so awesome! Amazing editing and the bloopers are great 😂

The mega flex looks amazing! A TARDIS within a tank is always a good idea. The amanos are using it to travel throughout all time and space.

Very Under-rated aquarium Chanel, long time fam, love the content!

@4:19 what kind of fish is that attached to the wood? Love your Peacock Gudgeons!!

Great video. Do you know if soapstone is safe for freshwater tanks. I want to try to crave some caves with it. Thank you.

I have 20 or 30 type botanicals I add to most of my tanks all purchased from Tannin Aguatics. You cannot go wrong with the Flex no matter the size but larger is always better. What substrate are you using. Looks like fluvsl stratum or maybe that black slag some are raving about from Tractor Supply. I love adding amano shrimp to my tanks. Quality video as always. Final question. When u combine dwarf neocardina shrimp in a general fish community and assuming R/O water, what chemicals? I am thinking Equilibrium but then a ph buffer to add some Kh etc. Please advise.

I'd be interested to see your maintenance schedule... I only have three tanks but with a busy work schedule it feels like too much. :/ Do you do water changes weekly on all your tanks? How long does it take you?

Great work, hope I might be the next to win some new stuff for my old tanks

Your tanks looking amazing. We got them at the same time if you remember. I have let mine grow it’s like a jungle mine now but I do like that look. It’s good to see yours it makes me want to re sculpture mine.

Awesome tank! I am getting myself one of them. Just a question... would the 3.0 LED fit in this? THanks!

I really love that megaplex! Lots of lush plants and I love the adjustable lighting too.

Got my wife to watch , now she thinks getting a mega is her idea lol. Thx for all the great content.

Both tanks look great! Bloopers, love the bloopers😁

Love the Mega Flex....I found a Flex 15 for $95 and couldn't resist..I've had it for 4 months and have yet to set it up..so many other tanks going and wanting to be perfect have slowed me down..I'm thinking about your glass top and will most likely go that direction..anyway..thanks for your videos..

I have a 15 gallon and the 32.5 gallon fluval tank. They're awesome with the lighting programs they have.

Great video! I was waiting for this video to come out since I spent most of the day setting up my new MEGA flex! I can't wait to get some fish and plants in it.

I have written my letter to Santa. I want a Mega Flex for Christmas. I've been good 😉

Both looking great. Beautiful tanks. Curious, what became of your pom pom crabs that you had in the 15 flex? They're so cool.

Thank you for your videos! Longtime fan. 🐠

Really enjoyed this update! I bought my mega Flex because of you, and haven't set it up yet, but was happy to see this video as it makes it a less intimidating venture. Also, that plant with the oval leaves you forgot the name to is, I believe, "Oval Ludwigia"...I have some too. :)

Really nice. CO2 infused or not?

Oh, I really did not like the curved front but you have convinced me to buy the 32.5 gallon flex. Great videos, very informative

I gotta say the flex line are awesome. Traditional rectangular tanks seem boring after having a flex. I myself have the 15 gallon after graduating from the 9. For the space that I live being so small, I enjoy the 15. To my amazement it has been successful. I've had a few tanks and my flex has been the best. The filtration and design for a beginner works beautifully. I wish I could trust the weight of the mega flex. I live on a second floor apartment and I worry with my 15 that the weight will buckle the supports in the floor. I keep a camera on when I am not home because I am so paranoid it will go through the floor. Hoping some day to upgrade to the mega, but for now I strongly suggest anyone interested in the hobby to grab the 15 gallon if you can. You can have a good amount of fish and space, and if you educated yourself you can have a rewarding setup. I've had mine for about 2 months now and no noise no issues only good things. 👍

Beautiful tank! Best you have yet. IMHO

We enjoyed your chat with our coffee this morning. Feels like we know you and could have been sitting in the room with you. We may have to try your tank water circulation trick from our largest (cute 105g) into our smaller tanks. May have to get a Tardis if we get Amano shrimp again as well. 😉 Thank you so much for sharing your experience and tips with us. We appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos, Sean. Cheers! ☕️ ☕️

Your videos are always fun and funny. It was great meeting you at Aquashella.

Something nice. Always loved your videos Sean. Mega Flex!!!

When I worked at a family owned pet store we used to have small seminars on marine land products which they’re the only filters I use!

Thank you for the inspiration as I venture into starting my first planted tank!

M E G A F L E X is looking good! Those checkerboard cichlids in the flex 15 are gorgeous as well.

What are the small plants growing in the gravel in the front of the Fluval Flex 32.5? Sry, if it's a stupid question I'm new to the hobby and doing basic research.

I having issues with the water staying clean. What are the steps you take for the water? Mine has been goin on for 6 weeks and nothing like yours. I been thinking about putting on a fluval 207 on the tank what are you thoughts? Thanks...

What an interesting Tank your 123 megaflex its doiing very well ,how do you maintain that background filter, maybe an idea for a next video to show that, greetings form Holland always have to see your interesting video's, Hans Kuipers

I have two buces in my 10-gallon shrimp tank that have done *quite* well, just attached to pieces of driftwood in the water column. I don't know if it's a difference in the quality of the stock, but what's working for the buces in that tank is making sure there are plenty of micronutrients, feeding diverse foods for the shrimp (means diverse poops), and moderate to high light. In a few months of having them, the buces have nearly doubled in size. I don't run CO2 or regularly dose any macronutrients (if I see signs of deficiency I'll dose to address that).

It’s very inspirational seeing your tanks :) thanks

I really enjoyed this video. Especially about the plants and the fish used. I would like to get the Flex 32 gallon but they are hard to find and it looks to be sold by vendors at $300 plus. When you throw in the additional light bar and stand putting it in the $600-$700 range. I think I will pass on that and budget for something smaller in cost and size.

I really like the glass lid on the Flex. Update on the 220 please.

Great video definitely enjoyed the story of each tank in this video. The plants look great.

Your mega flex is one of my favorite tanks. Giant otto is awesome too. 👍💕👍

Curious what stand you're using for the Flex 15g tank... not a fan of the one Fluval makes for it.

The curved glass looks so much nicer on the larger tank I would kill for one of those!

I can't figure out what light they are using. Surely the 2nd one is a common Aquasky 2.0 but what size? Or did they make a special size for this? I'm interested in the Plant 3.0 version that might fit in this.

How has the tank held up? I am about to set up my white mega Flex. I have a few questions I really would love for you to answer for me please. 1. Is the OEM filter pump adequate for circulation and not have dead spots? 2. How's the cleaning like? I've read people gripes about the chambers being a pain to clean. I am going to be using the inTank media baskets in replacement of OEM. 3. Any significant algae issues due to the bow front and focused light in the front area of the tank? 4. Any issues with substrate getting into the lower vents? 5. Any misc. information you can share is welcome. THANK YOU! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.

Your Megaflex is so nice always good observations keep it clean:-

Thanks for a great video. Just got a mega flex myself. Did you mod your filter in the mega flex or do you find the original filter media to be good enough?

I've been thinking of getting the mega flex but might go a little bigger. Love your planted tanks.

This is my favorite of all your tanks!! 😍

woot no pinned comment!!! yet... I love the TARDIS!!! I so wish I could get some Amanos they look so cool =) I'd love that water polisher to help me keep a clean tank =) heehee MEGAFLEX!!

I love the mega flex but just can't justify the price. Great up date on it looking really good keep it up pecktec!

Man this guy really be flexing on us. I need all his tanks

I think most new tank algae is from having too much ammonia. I always go too fast and get it. I’ve set up the last few slowly and haven’t had any. I let it age with just a tiny bit of flake food to provide some ammonia, but I let it go with just a couple of small plants and give it time. Then I add used water for a few days and add one fish, then after a week or so it gets cloudy and cycles then I add slowly with snails and a fish at a time till I have it stable and then I add more plants and fish. My latest 30gal has never had algae except for under the light on the glass lid after about 10 months. I think patience it the trick.

Do I need a special aquarium stand for the a 32 gallon Fluval Flex? or can put it on top of a clothing drawer dresser?

Love you videos. Some of the best RU-vid. I love the look of the Flex.

Another great video as always! I'm still thinking about getting the mega flex it's next on my list I'm just running out of plants

I want one great video as usual

I may have to get a 32 gallon Flex. I like my 15 but the "Mega" Flex looks really good.

Love the look of this tank. Thank you for the video.
