About this part
A deep substrate is great for plants, but on the Flex it can creep up and block the lower intake. This intake cover raises the opening, so you can build the substrate a full 3 in deep, 1 in more than stock, and water still reaches the filter. Its fine mesh keeps shrimp and tiny shrimp fry in the tank.
Compatibility
- Fits: the lower intake of the original Fluval Flex 9 gallon (34 L) and 15 gallon (57 L).
- Does not fit: the Fluval Flex 2.0 or the Flex 32.5.
Why it helps
- Room for 3 in of substrate, 1 in more than stock.
- Fine mesh keeps shrimp and fry out of the filter chamber.
- No drilling and no changes to the tank.
Installation
- Snap the cover onto the stock lower intake.
- Build your substrate up to the bottom of the cover.
In the box
One deep substrate intake cover, in black or white.
Designed and 3D printed in Pennsylvania. One flat shipping price covers your whole US order, so a second part ships for no extra cost.
