So I've got extremely lucky this morning and picked up a Fluval 32.5 gal / 123L for setting up, however, it didn't come with its light!
Unfortunately, I am restricted to using the lid due to having a service dog, and his fluff gets EVERYWHERE.

I keep trying to track down a replacement, but the Marine 3.0's are either too long or too short, and the actual replacement light for this tank doesn't seem to be available even directly from Fluval.

I'd love to be able to grow corals well, and Bluetooth connectivity would be awesome. I thought about the AI Blades, but I hear they aren't waterproof... and my Evo's light has already ended up in the tank a few times due to muscle spasms - and thats a lot of money to throw down the drain, literally!

I'm not against modifying the brackets/lid if I have to, but the bulk of the lid has to stay!

I have a 100 watt nicrew light on my 32 gallon I’m very happy with it. I suggest to stay away from the fluval light it’s only 50 watts IMO not strong enough for that tank.

I don’t think so I’m sorry. It’s a bit bulky.
Yeah, unfortunately as I said in the post I have to keep the lid because my service dog sheds horribly and the tank would end up more fluff than water within a week!

Thanks, I will see if I can find it on any UK sites. I have emailed fluval RE a replacement anyway.
Funny, I saw it at a few European stores.. I hunted specifically for US not knowing you are in the UK.


Live at Leeds.. :)

Do keep in mind that the power supply is a separate part..


  • LEDs: 63 (42 White, 21 RGB)
  • Wattage: 21 W
  • Lumens: 1450 lm
  • Color Temperature: 3000 – 25000K
States "not the marine one" though..
Sorry..
So this model..

Marine 3.0 Bluetooth LED for Flex Saltwater Aquarium Kit, 32.5 US Gal / 123 L (Power Supply Not Included)​

Item #: 14513 | UPC: 015561145138

Deja Vu....
