All in all a great kit Sep 30, 2011
By Jacobm001
I bought this as an upgrade for my betta fish. I've had a 1.5 gallon for a while, but wanted something a bit bigger.
Pro:
-This unit has a nice foot print. It doesn't take up a ridiculous amount of counterspace.
-The filter is very impressive compared to other tanks I've seen. The flow is adjustable, from very gentle to rather aggressive.
-The filter is also rather quiet. Unlike my other tank, this one doesn't need an overly aggressive airrated to vibrate and make all kinds of noise.
-The lid and glass both seem to be of high quality. The opening section of the lid is sturdy and there are no scratches or bubbles in the glass.
Con:
-I'm not a huge fan of the light. This one comes with incandescent lighting, but I prefer my last tank's LED.
-The filter is a universal model. It has the ability to attach to far larger tanks, so it sits on there kind of awkwardly. I used a small piece of cardboard folded over (the box the bulb came in) on the outside of the tank to make it a little bit more stable. I don't see it at all and it works better than the space included.
Overall this is a great tank for a small room, like a dorm or kids room. If you have the space I would recommend something bigger, but for the right task this is a perfect kit.

 Works Great So Far Oct 17, 2011
By IronChefMIk
My girlfriend and I are both new to taking car of fish (we have a single small gold fish). This tank was a decent price and seems to be working just fine. It has no leaks, and is perfect for us since it comes with instructions on how to take care of the fish. The filters are really easy to change and the fish has a lot of space to swim around in. The primary thing I was worried about was the filter's suction, but it seems to be very gentle so the fish does not get caught in it.

Great tank Jan 02, 2012
By vwnut
I got this tank to replace a 5 gallon tank. (Never buy a "plastic" tank) The glass aquarium came with everything I needed. Add gravel, decorations, water and fish and your done. Couldn't be easier. Great for kids and adults whom don't what a spend a lot of money and time just to have some fish to watch.

great starter Nov 05, 2011
By matt
this is great starter kit with almost everything i was looking for with a killer price. I still needed to buy a heater and extra filters and i got another temp gauge.

Great fish tank Jan 11, 2012
By Lou
I have just bought this for my 7 year old.....it looks fantastic, easy to set up,(just follow instructions). Don't try and carry the tank once filled with water, as it would be too heavy and you most likely would drop it. The filter is very quiet and the light is soothing. However the filter isn't strong enough to keep the water crystal clear....will still need to change the water often.
