How do set the temp on a 15 gallon tank
leave the heater unplugged in the aquarium in for several hours.Then plug it in briefly and see if the neon bulb lights up (sort of an orange color). If it is on, turn the temp set knob counter clockwise until it goes out. Then turn the knob clockwise slowly until the light comes on again. Now your heater is set for approximately the current temp of the aquarium water. Now adjust the knob in very small increments, waiting hours between adjustments until the water is at the temp you want.
How to fix fluval led
on this tank the lights are built into the filter pump housing , if they go bad it might be possible to retrofit a new sealed light bar into the same space , but you will need to have previous knowledge of electronics and specify L.E.D. lights as they don't work like regular light bulbs but require a special kind of power or will be damaged if hooked to wrong type of power I suppose its possible to use batterys but id have no idea how long that would work
The circulation pump on my Fluval Spec V 5 gallon
did it "conk" out or is the pump impeller stopped by a buildup of material ?? the reason I say this its very unusual for a aquarium pump to go completely out (ive had one running 24/7 for ten years) but in that ten years ive replaced two impellors and cleaned it out over one hundred times , and yes three months is the perfect time period for a cleaning needed !!!
Fluval u2 aquarium filter will not restart after tank maintenance
Firstly ensure that the impeller is in the motor house.If so make sure the well the impeller sits in is clear of debris.If so try running the motor out of the water and removed from the filter, if the impeller doesn't move try giving it a nudge with a pencil.If none of this works the sealed motor may be broken and will need to be taken to the supplier for repair or replacement.

Light unit not working after replacing bulbs
Try another wall connection or your wire connection, as well as making sure nothing is wet around the connections, and ultimately nothing is wrong with the entire lighting system.

Fluval chi aquarium light does not turn off, defective switch how do I repair it?
Much too late to help, I'm sure, but the cheapest fix would likely be to add a simple tap switch.When the tap switch is turned off, it cuts the power off and the light will go out. A tap switch is simply an outlet with a switch fitted. Plug the tap switch into the wall, plug the aquarium light into the tap switch and you're set. They're cheap at places like Home Depot, likely half the price of the replacement switch from Hagen, who makes Fluval. Also a great way to make it easy to turn filters on and off without having to pull the cord from the outlet.

How to assemble?
"How to assemble? - Fish"???
Umm, you take the body and stick the marked fins on the sides, top, and back at the appropriate slots then install the batteries and drop it in the tank.

They get plants, algae, and bacteria.
Bacteria in fish tank ?
Bacteria is normal . breaks down ammonia from fish into nitrate.
Nitrate is harmful and requires a water change unless you pump the water through plants google aquaponics.
Algae in fish tank ? buy water snails put in tank
