can this be a saltwater tank???

can you do saltwater in this tank??? FLUVAL EDGE -Add design to your lifestyle

 

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. It looks like you might be limited on filtration and lighting if you want to keep the stock look.

 

Yes I think you could

 

After looking at it closer, it looks like it would be horrible for surface gas exchange. The tank looks completely enclosed with a glass/acrylic top covering the whole thing. While the tank is cool looking, I personally wouldn't use it for a reef tank.

 

Cleaning and aquascaping would be a pain since you'd have to work through the small opening. I think it looks cool but the honeymoon would end quickly IMO.

 

This Tank is a Fluval Edge... But they don't really show a full screen shot. It looks good from what I can see.

 

If you could exchange the powerfilter for an overflow, then plumb that to a sump, you would have a good filtration, then either a clip-on or pendant mh lamp and you've got yourself a reef!

 

I'm pretty sure that tank is designed to be viewed from the top as well, so I think it would be pretty awesome.

 

ya I work at a fish store in ohio and they just got some of these in and I was throwing around the idea of making a nano out of it...just wondering if anyone has seen it or done it .... I might give it a shot and see what happens whats the worst thing??? it comes with halogen lights??? those ok for soft corals?

 

I got to admit that it would be wicked but these things are not designed for saltwater and it would be a PITA with any mods, customizations/additions, aquascaping, salt creep etc., for the price I wouldnt bother trying and get a nano with all the stuff u need. If I was to buy it I would do a nice freshwater.
