With a radical approach to aquarium design the Fluval Edge has a capacity of 6 U.S. gallon and thus falls under the small aquarium category. Many large fishbowls show cracks of stress because they have bin designed in a way that the pressure is not equally spread at the surface base. Having all the edges sealed, the Fluval Edge fish tank appears to be much more durable than a standard open topped tank which would crack under the same amount of stress.
If you’re looking for an absolute glass box than the Fluval Edge fish tank should definitely be your aquarium system of choice. With six sides enclosed, including the top, It really looks like a floating cube of water which can be viewed from different angles. If you position your view from the top it resembles allot like a clear streaming river. The way to access the interior is via the open collar hidden underneath the top frame.
Making use of advanced halogen lighting, Fluval Edge system contains two small light bulbspositioned in the center of the fish tank. The supplied halogen lights are incorporated into a light bar that can be lifted up and out of the way at times of maintenance or should you wish to access the open collar at the center. These lights operate right over the aquarium surface during standard operation, in case of malfunction or life span you should replace them with the following light bulbs...
The projected light goes through out the entire system, illuminating the aquarium with interesting light effects like emphasizing the gentle ripples of the water. Even though the halogen lighting provides plenty of light, the advanced marine hobbyist would replace the provided halogen lights with LED lights for better performance of their coral reef and plants.

The Fluval Edge Fish Tank comes with an integrated pedestal that supports approximately a third of the bottom surface area, housing all the electrical components for the aquarium system and also encloses the integrated filtration system. Providing an unrestricted view of the aquarium allowed by the overhang on the side and front, as well as the bottom if you wish to look at the gravel from below.
The Fluval Edge Fish Tank is equipped with an external three stage power filter. Having the standard style inserts, like a foam block for the gross particles, the carbon insert that polishes crystal clear water by removing dyes and chemical waste, and a biological filter to stimulate beneficial bacteria. The entire volume of the filter chamber is used to provide maximum filtration for the given space. There is a recirculating flow grid that reduces the water flow by up to 60%, if it would be too strong for the fish, you should place a foam protector in front of the input siphon area as an extra safety measure for smaller fish.
To my disappointment this Fluval Edge fish tank is not compatible for any automatic feeder while the cover is in place. A battery powered feeder could be added if the cover were to remain off, then again the aesthetics of the design would be lost and evaporation will occur rapidly.
The Fluval Edge Fish Tank can also be converted into a marine aquarium, it’s great to keep crabs, shrimp or snails and such, all though I wouldn’t recommend any saltwater fish unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
To bring down the heat from the halogen lighting system, you could replace the low wattage halogen light bulbs with Reef Tank Led Lights, and maybe adding a T5 lighting fixture, this is also fulfilling the need of corals with a larger light demand.
