About this part

The stock Spec light sits low and can sag, so the light falls on a small area and not always evenly. This light riser lifts the fixture and holds it level, so the light spreads across more of your aquascape.

Compatibility
  • Fits: the stock light of the Fluval Spec V 5 gallon and the Spec III 2.6 gallon.
  • Does not fit: the Fluval Spec 16.
Why it helps
  • Pick 1, 2 or 3 in of lift. The height is the increase over the stock setup.
  • Holds the light level, with no sag.
  • Wider, more even light over plants and fish.
  • Inserts into the light mount and lamp; no tools.
Installation
  1. Take the stock light off its mount.
  2. Insert the riser into the light mount.
  3. Set the lamp on the riser.

Perfect height. I went with 1 inch. Slips on easily. I just wish it didn't have the logo on it because I like smooth basic things. I have the long 5 gal Fluval Spec tank btw.

This is such a great fix for a design flaw on the Spec V. The light lift itself is really sturdy, I got the 2” and I feel like it’s the perfect height to make accessing the tank easier. I had a minor issue on my order that was fixed immediately after I reached out, excellent customer service!

Works exactly as described. This little bracket lifts the light up enough to be able to put my automatic vacation feeder underneath. While the feeder isn't there, it gives me a little more space to be able to manually feed my betta. Love it!

This item is fantastic. I can feed without removing the lid, and no longer have to fight the light bar when I do remove the lid. Highly recommend.

Love this piece! Improved my tank!

Perfect and fit just right. Love the light being so much taller now and it makes it so much easier for our 11 year old to feed her betta fish now. Before she kept dropping flakes on the lid, but now she has plenty of hand room to make sure all the food goes in the tank.

I will say only con is I had to figure out which end side when where. No instructions were provided, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out.

This is so excellent. Takes care of the problem of light position and the salvinia is happier. It's sturdy and fits perfectly. I'm so happy. 🌼

Perfect - just what I was looking for. Just the right amount of lift to be able to access the tank without having to move the light, but still illuminating the whole tank. My betta loves it too - with the original design, it was a bit too bright for him. I highly recommend this shop.

I needed help mounting a Fluval spec v stock light onto a rimless tank and Adam was so helpful and totally pulled through with the final result. Super happy with how it turned out.

Much needed addition to my Fluval Spec V! Makes feeding and cleaning so much easier!

A really great upgrade for the fluval spec. The light lifter does exactly as advertised and really helps give the extra bit of room needed for tank maintenance.

I also feel that because the light is more elevated it also helps to better illuminate the tank especially when you have larger decorations that are close to the surface. The majority of my tank is a bonsai tree and it’s important that the Java moss gets plenty of light.

This modification to my aquarium light is great. It actually makes the light more secure and raising it allows access to the aquarium without moving it. Would highly recommend it.

Bought this because I couldn’t do maintenance on my spec V without having to take out the light every time. It was a perfect fit and raised it up high enough where I don’t need to remove the whole thing anymore to get access to the tank.

This item is perfect for raising the light on the Fluval Spec V!!

This is my 2nd Fluval light height extender (2.6 gallon) that I have purchased (#1 was for my Spec V) and am very happy with the extra height they give me between the lid and lights, especially for feeding times.

This “riser” for my Fluval Spec V light unit fits perfectly. I really like how much more room I have between the cover and the bottom of the light.

This product solves the issue Spec III/V owners have with tank maintenance. I can now remove the stock lid and access the tank for maintenance without having to remove the stock light. The product also provide a solution for my light mod for side-by-side Spec V's.
