FraserNZ Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi there, Does anyone know the New Zealand Retail Price for the Fluval Edge? I'm pretty keen on getting one, but if its going to be super expensive I'll probably just look at other options. Cheers, F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 bout $300 i think. though i got mine from animates for $70 cuz they hadn,t been able to sell any so put the price down. i thin they still have an orange one and black one cheap down here.

waterlogged Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 it was advertised in the store and i had been wanting one for a while. but one word of advice the lighting currently on there isn,t the best fir viewing. it is a orangey halogen light set up that doesn't reach all courners of the tank but is a mean center peice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll go with the new one for $300. Have you upgraded your lights yet? I spotted this one on uTube which someone had added an extra 5 spotlights, and had made the box on the top a little larger so the light reached most of the tank. It looked awsome!!

I might go and get the other one if i can't transfer the black one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Noooo idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 other wise the set up is only worth the filter and glass tank, the rest will not go together properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserNZ Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I would move really fast if you do want one. They are totally discontinued from what I'm hearing from all the stores I have been calling. I managed to get a brand new black one, which is been sent up from Hamilton. $300, BUT hey, its a bit of bling, and will look pimp in my new pad, right guys??

waterlogged Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 they do look awesome. fluval just put out a new ish one i think with a "floating" garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserNZ Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 they do look awesome. fluval just put out a new ish one i think with a "floating" garden I think that's the Fluval Chi... I think the Edge is a little more awesome. The Chis is something you would more likely put on your desk. What type of fish have you got in yours?

waterlogged Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 yea it's amost cheap looking. shame they never made a size up of the edge though i din't know how well that would work with the weight and partial base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I think that's the Fluval Chi... I think the Edge is a little more awesome. The Chis is something you would more likely put on your desk. What type of fish have you got in yours? I actually had a look at the chi yesterday because I was thinking it would be nice to have a little tank on my desk at work. I decided it was totally inappropriate for on a desk. Totally open, likely occasional splashes of water. It's more like a fountain/water feature than something you'd put on your desk.

waterlogged Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 i.d be worried of something getting out lol or in. was watching my little SEA jumping out of the water in my bucket the other day when i redid the stones lol had to put a towel ontop to stop them getting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like the chi and will get one at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserNZ Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yeah I think the larger one out of the two would be ok. It has adjustable lights, which would be pretty cool at night. I still think the Edge has the edge though I'm going to run with a pair of shellies for mine. I know its probably a tad small for them. However, it does seem to have a large footprint which I guess will help a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 i had a one eyed shelly in mine and he seemed to love it' till one day he ran away from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserNZ Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Waterlogged, What heater are you using in your edge? I got one of those Marina C25's for mine and it's struggling the raise the temperature. The room temperature is just about the same as what my tanks currently siting at!

waterlogged Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 just your average 25W heater. used to have a 50W but it decided the thermostate wasn,t needed lol. only thing i'm finding a problem is cleaning lol gets dirty to fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
