About this part
Shrimp and fry are small enough to slip through the overflow slots and end up in the filter chambers. These prefilter covers close off the slots and hold a 30 PPI sponge. Your little fish buddies stay in the tank, bits of food and plant stay out of the filter, and your shrimp get a sponge surface to graze on.
Compatibility
- Fits: the original Fluval Flex 9 and 15 gallon (sold as a pair), the Fluval Spec V 5 gallon and Spec III 2.6, and the Fluval Evo 13.5. Pick your tank in the choices.
- Does not fit: the Fluval Flex 2.0. We make a separate prefilter set for the 2.0.
Why it helps
- Closes the overflow slots so shrimp and fry stay in the tank.
- The 30 PPI sponge catches bits before they reach the filter chambers.
- A sponge surface where shrimp like to graze.
- Replacement sponges (6 pieces) are a choice on this page. They fit all three covers; cut one in half for the small lower Flex piece.
Installation
- Find the two large tabs and the small nub tabs on the back of the cover.
- Point the nub tabs down into the overflow slots.
- Press until the large tabs click in. No tools needed.
In the box
The Flex choice is a pair of covers (upper and lower). The Spec and Evo choices are one cover. Each cover comes with its sponge. Black.
Designed and 3D printed in Pennsylvania. One flat shipping price covers your whole US order, so a second part ships for no extra cost.
