About this part

Going open-top on a Spec V shows off your aquascape, but it leaves the filter media and pump open to dust. The stock cover can feel bulky. This one-piece chamber lid keeps the rear chambers covered and gives the back of the tank a clean, finished look.

Compatibility
  • Fits: the rear chambers of the Fluval Spec V 5 gallon (19 L).
  • Does not fit: the Fluval Spec 16 or the Spec III 2.6.
Why it helps
  • One piece covers all the rear chambers.
  • Less dust and less evaporation from the chambers.
  • A deep cutout above the pump chamber (20 mm wide, 6 mm deep) for airline, heater and power cords.
Installation
  1. Take off the stock cover.
  2. Set the lid over the rear chambers.
  3. Route your cords through the cutout.
In the box

One chamber cover lid, in black or white. The same lid also comes in our Full Lid Kit for the Spec V.

Designed and 3D printed in Pennsylvania. One flat shipping price covers your whole US order, so a second part ships for no extra cost.

Perfect! It was a little tight to get on, but fits great and looks great! No big ugly logo on it either. Smooth. I have the long 5 gal Fluval Spec tank.

It was a bit snug, but once I got it adjusted it works perfectly and looks great.

Perfect fit! Great addition to cover the filter compartment. Helps make the tank much cleaner looking while running it without the lid.

Fit and worked exactly as designed!

Took a moment to figure out how it was supposed to go on. I ended up using silicone anyway.

Amazing cover! It helps prevent my fish's tank light from falling into the filter!

Great item, fits well, exactly as described, great experience!

A VERY secure fit. Had bit of trouble snapping it into place, but to its credit the tolerances are high engineered and the fit is secure. Look fantastic especially with a 3" light extension on the tank to promote the growth of some of my semi aquatic species. A++

It fit perfectly and is just what I needed to go topless with this aquarium!

It worked out great for my tank!

Quality is good (good build). Unfortunately, the fit is poor. Not a single one (I ordered several) fits neatly in any of my four Spec V tanks. I suspect the design doesn’t engage in the correct areas. Will Dremel-fit them all at some point, but that’s not so much what I paid for - I was going for less work, not more.

Perfect fit on the back of my Fluval Spec V - allows so much more air circulation without the stock plastic lid, while keeping the filter chamber nice and clean. Love it!

Cover works great to hide filtration with an open tank.

Well made and arrived quickly. Unfortunately, I didn't realize when I ordered it that I wouldn't be able to use the stock plastic lid with this, but that's my bad.

Worked very well, thank you!

The lid snaps in firmly and is very secure. Makes a much cleaner appearing tank. There is a cutout for the wires on the right side that accommodates the pump and heater power cords.

Fits like it was made by Fluval! A+

I didn’t necessarily need this cover, but wanted an option in case I decide to remove and replace the standard Spec V cover and it’s a great addition.

Looks great on my tank and the customer service was amazing.

All around excellent seller and merchandise. I will be shopping here again!

Tremendously Confused

Got this to cover my filter as the custom lid I ordered does not go over the filter space. Protects the water in the filter from evaporating and from my cat if she were to get curious!

Good quality, works really well. Would recommend.

Fits like a glove, looks very slick in the spec. Light weight but sturdy. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I really want to love this item, but it just seems to constantly pop out of its snug fit covering the intake, which makes it look more messy than sleak. I also wish there was a hole for a thermometer wire in the media basket section.
