Through the years I’ve bought three of these from Steve for different tanks. With the plug, water director and skimmer this works great on the EVO V to significantly improve filtration and improve filtration. I love the flexibility the three shelves offer for filter media.
I’m actually considering removing the (removable) middle shelf to use it as a refugium with some chaeto (still researching if this is feasible).
Great, well-made product.

Evo 5
It does not fit properly and water just goes down in the front. Do not recommend for the fluval evo 5.

EXCELLENT,ONLY WISH THE REMOVABLE SLIDING DOOR WAS ALSO ACRYLIC AND WOULD STAY CLEAR.

Perfection!
If you are still using the original "thing" that came with your tank, you must get this! You can tell InTank takes great pride in their products, from the quality of the tower, the packaging and the customer service. It is, and performs, exactly as advertised. I am a firm believer my animals deserve the best to stay healthy...this is it!
Thank you so much for your help, Jay! And I took your advice, that sponge thing has been in the garbage as soon as I had the tower ready to drop in the tank!

Couldn’t be happier
I’m so happy with the InTank media basket I purchased for my Fluval Spec V. My tank has never been cleaner! And it’s much easier to maintain. The basket is solid/sturdy and fits just right. This InTank company is top notch from the point of sale all the way through.

High quality manufacturing, fit and performance!
I received my order and yesterday I installed the media basket along with the plug and the skimmer on my Spec 5. It hasn't been 24 hours and the film on top of my water surface is GONE. I was a bit skeptical about the surface skimmer but it appears to be doing its job.
Prior to this order, I tried different media in the standard Fluval filter, treatments including spraying hydrogen peroxide on the surface and water changes two times a week. Nothing would knock out the film that would form on the surface.
This is the second product I purchased from inTank. The first was a media basket for my Fluval 15. Which is also performing equally well.
I applaud the high quality manufacturing, fit and performance. Keep up the great work!

Spec basket
Really love the quality of this basket, I found that aquaclear 30 foam, carbon and biomax fit perfectly with very minimal trimming on the foam. I also found that the original spec carbon pouches are the perfect size as well.
If I had to be completely honest, I could definitely tell a difference this basket made but when you match it up with an upgraded pump like newa mn606, the entire set up turned into a different beast. Highly recommend!

inTank Media Basket for Fluval Spec V/Spec 5
This media basket fits perfectly, makes maintenance a breeze and offers lots of versatility for media type/configuration. Wonderful improvement for the tank and can't imagine not having it.

inTank Media Basket for Fluval Spec | Spec 2.6 | Spec V | Spec 5 | Evo 5 | Fluval Evo 19L
This is a must have for your Fluval Spec 5. With the water director and the chamber plug. My tank's crystal clear.
Amy
Great product, worth the price
The product itself was very well made, high quality. Shipping was super fast and everything was packaged perfectly. Only downside is the plug did not fit my Fluval Spec V and the second plug that came with my water director also did not fit so I'll just need to figure something else out for that tiny hole below the intake.

QUALITY • HUGE IMPROVEMENT
I can't believe the quality of this media basket. I was hesitant to spend the money on this for a 5 gallon but felt the sponge that came with the aquarium was not doing its job. After one day I can already see the improvement this basket has made in the filtration system. The improvement in filtration and the quality of the basket tells me the money was well spent. You will be seeing more of this customer.

A must have!
These are amazing quality and makes setting up a good filtration in the Evo. Everything fits perfect and having 3 sections for filter media is great. Also the middle shelf comes out so you could set it up as a refugium if you want.

Intank media basket
Excellent product professionally crafted and does exactly as intended. Add this with the upgraded skimmer and clip and the spec iii is easy to keep clean. The media basket allows for great options for keeping water balanced and clean.

Philip B
Media Basket for Evo 5
Beats any DYI media baskets out there.
Assembly was definitely fluid with plenty of room for your media.
Pros: saves time, comes with skimmer, easy to clean
Cons: I would like it to be a tad wider for a sung fit.
Overall 9/10
Avery
Great!
Great build quality and works as expected. Quite the price tag but beats DIY any day.

Fluval Spec 5 Media Basket
I really like this, it makes cleaning the spec tanks filter so much easier. I cut up some of the black old filter into rectangles to use as a layer in the filter also, cleaning it with tank water to keep my bacteria alive. It arrived in a sturdy box undamaged all the way to NZ. Great invention.
