I really like the Marineland Portrait 5-gallon aquarium. The size is perfect for a desk or small space, and the curved glass makes it look modern and clean. One of my favorite features is the hidden filtration in the back because it keeps the tank looking neat without equipment showing. The LED light is bright and makes the tank look nice, especially at night. The tank was easy to set up, and it runs quietly most of the time. It works well for a betta fish or a small setup with plants like Java ferns. The only downside is that cleaning the filter area can be a little tight, and sometimes the water flow is strong for bettas, so you may need to adjust it. This is a great aquarium for beginners or anyone who wants a stylish small tank. I would recommend it to others looking for a compact aquarium.

I got this 5 gallon tank because I wanted to give my betta a little more room because he was previously in a 3 gallon and it was too small for him. I just set this tank up and added in the same bio media from his previous tank along with the water and just added fresh water to it. I have to say, I absolutely love it! I love how you can adjust the filters direction. You can turn the nozzle into the water or on the surface. I also love the filter on the back. I keep my tank near a mirror, so before I had to block the back of the tank so my betta couldn’t see his reflection, but that is no longer needed and I love that I can’t see through the back of it. The filter on the back is a tight spot as far as being able to reach down into it, but the filter carriage slides out for easy access. One thing about the pump, you can adjust the flow on it just like any other filter, but even the lowest flow is a tiny bit too strong for my betta, but it is nothing a sponge can’t fix. It’s not that it was throwing him around on the lowest setting, but he had just a little trouble getting around. Like I said, easy fix. Even adjusting the nozzle‘s direction to be out of water towards the front tank wall helped my betta get around. The only poor quality part about this tank is that the filter cover that goes over the back of the tank and the light could be a little bit better. The back piece doesn’t fit the tank well in my case, but I plan on putting plant cuttings into the back of it anyways so I won’t be needing it much longer. In my case, this isn’t a big deal whatsoever. I can replace the light later on if need be (I’ll see how it does with my plants) and the filter cover on the back isn’t too big of an issue. I may update this review later on depending on how it goes, but for now, I am in love with the aesthetic and overall quality of this tank. I would recommend it to anyone who needs or wants a small set up. I upgraded from a 3 gallon top fin tank to this and I have to say, I am already impressed. I can’t wait to add in my taller plants once they come in the mail to give the tank a fuller appearance.

This is such a beautiful tank. I love that everything is pretty much hidden, except for my heater. The instructions that came with the box did say not to put it in the filter compartment, but I have read about many people doing this, I am just too scared to do so lol. There is a notch for your heater cord, so that it does not interfere with the lid design, which is nice. It is super quiet, so quiet that sometimes I have to look and make sure the pump is still working. This tank sits on my dresser next to my bed, so it is nice that it does not make a lot of noise. I have had it set up for about 2 months now, and the light that came with is has been sufficient for the plants I have, they seem to be growing very well. I have seen other people adding more lights to theirs, there is plenty of room on the light attachment to add additional LED strips, and there are little channels that you can run that additional wire thru so that it's hidden. I have not done this myself, but I have seen where others have. Probably my favorite thing about this tank (other than its appearance, because lets be honest, it's a pretty good looking aquarium!) is the lid. It is a very thick piece of glass that slides back about an inch to an inch and a half for feeding. To remove, simply pick it up and let the condensation fall back into the aquarium and set the lid off to the side. I have even accidentally sat/stepped on it... I think you'd have to really do a number on it for it to break. It fits very snugly leaving no room for snails to escape. There is also a lid that covers the filter compartment that is a little annoying because it just precariously sits there and can easily be knocked off when you try to slide the glass lid back, but you can make some "hinges" for it by simply putting a piece of tape on either side and attaching it to the back of the aquarium. IF YOU'RE USING THIS FOR A BETTA: The filter comes cranked up all the way on high. Before you even fill this thing with water, take the pump out and turn it down as far as it will go. I also made a baffle for the output nozzle out of part of a water bottle. It's not the greatest, simply because I don't have it attached in any way so when I take the lids off for cleaning the baffle comes loose and floats away, but I have plans to remedy this, I just haven't done it yet. I took the output nozzle and turned it upside down and pointed it up a little so that it is sort of like a waterfall, then placed the baffle over it. I still have good water flow throughout the aquarium, but it is a very gentle flow and I do not find it to bother my betta at all. I did hot rod the filter box by adding some additional biosponge, there is PUH-LENTY of room back there to stash all sorts of bio-media. If you look you youtube, Aquarium Co-op has a very informative video on how to maximize your filter for this tank. Just search for Aquarium Co-op Marineland 5 Gallon and it should be the first one to pop up. Overall, this is my favorite aquarium that I own because it looks great, it's quiet, maintaining it is super easy, and it is well made. I just ordered another one that arrived a few minutes ago... unfortunately, I accidentally ordered the 3 gallon (in the older model with the different light bar) because the 5 gallon is no longer available for the moment, and I did not realize when I purchased it that there was even a 3 gallon option. Whoops! My bad for not looking closely enough, because I was wanting to also upgrade him to a 5 gallon. But nevertheless, I am keeping it for my betta at work because the tank he has (halfmoon plastic tank) is cheap, flimsy, and just overall a pain in the rear to deal with, it will be my new "hospital" tank.

I really love the look of this tank. The first one I ordered the back compartment that houses the filter was loose from the sides and the filter rattled. (Listen to video). I returned and ordered a second one. The backing is secure now but unfortunately the filter still rattles the same. It's weird because I had the smaller version of this tank years ago and it was silent. I actually had it on my nightstand. So I'm not sure why both of these are noisy. I actually feel bad for my fish so I unplug it at night. I added an additional little light for brighter full spectrum light for my live plants and a heater. Pros: Very pretty and sleek looking, round edges, easy to set up, good size for a Betta, has a night light, has decent room to add better filter media and a heater in back filter keeps tank clean, decently small footprint. Cons: I wish it was a little wider and shorter rather than so tall, the light is very blue and not very bright (but still looks nice), rattling filter, base comes off so it's easy to hit glass on stone countertops when cleaning as it's a little heavy do be careful there.

One-of-a-kind 5 gallon fish tank. Simply the best one out there in quality and aesthetics. I am a 15+ year aquarist and have had numerous tanks of all different sizes, fresh and saltwater. This is truly the best 5 gallon freshwater tank out there. For one, the display glass is a single piece uniform molded piece of glass with rounded corners. You read that right. Rather than three pieces being joined by silicon, its one solid piece of glass, with a back piece and bottom piece silicon joined. This means higher durability and better visibility, giving it that rimless, frameless look. The other advantage is it is a 5 gallon tank with an overflow box filtration system which is astonishingly rare. Overflow boxes offer the best filtration because it also will draw the top layer of water into the filtration system to pull out proteins and floating debris, leading to better water quality. The filter is easy to replace - Marineland designed a slide out box with both the filter pads and foam contained in the unit, couldn't be easier. I bought two tanks to replace my old ones which compliment my dining room for a nice feel when hosting guests. It also has a top glass piece to reduce evaporation, fish loss and can easily be slid back or removed for feeding and maintenance. I am so impressed, that eventually the day will come when I am ready to get another 100+ gallon set up and will certainly look to Marinelands offerings when that time comes.

I bought my first Marineland years ago. I have 3 now and my daughter has two. They started me on my love of fish. You will learn quickly that this tank is good for one betta and a snail. I had 3 frogs in one, but just upgraded to a ten, because they grew and made it plain they needed more room. I have 5 neons in another tank, and getting ready to upgrade their tank also. My Bettas all have one mystery snail with them. This tank is perfect. Looks great with bamboo for the height, and enough room for a small decor and more plants. I have changed up the light, only because the light it comes with doesn’t have a timer, otherwise, it love the selections of bright to blue and have had no other issues. I’m sorry to hear of another buyer’s tank leaking. I have never had one single issue with all my tanks and all these years. My only problem is the small black L curve attachment on the filter into the tank. The small filter with adjustments sits down in the back of the plastic wall of the tank, hidden from all sides, which i love. There’s tall rigid plastic tube up to the top and a 2 small rubber pieces that connect to push the water into the top surface. Those pieces get soft and tear over time. After an exhaustive search online we took to the streets in our area visiting hardware stores looking for that piece. No luck. I’ve glued them together and banded them with zip ties, but they keep coming apart. I can’t seem to contact the manufacturer for this small filter part and not even sure if it’s the same style in newer models. Very frustrating, but still firm in my belief that this is the best and nicest looking tank for a Betta! If I had room, I’d probably buy another one!

First off, kits are garbage and I knew that going in and I was ok with it being mediocre, but this is just hot stinkin trash. Even for a novice, this isn't as good of a deal as you think it is. Let me explain: Kits: it's typically that you have to add your own heater, thermometer, and air line (pump, tubing, air stones). That's a given. In addition to the additional equipment you need to buy, you are started it with a crappy, undersized, inefficient filtration "system". Basically a small coarse foam pad and a laughable premade carbon "filter" (barely any carbon in the filer so it's basically useless). It lacks any biological filtration. So essentially you slide the foam and the carbon into the predetermined slot (behind the black plastic divide to separate the swimable and filtration sections) and let the pump and tubing move the water through said filter and out of a tiny outflow at the top. The problem herein lies the issue. 1) you have to "pimp out" your filtration media. Throw everything away and get some coarse foam, medium foam, a bag to hold carbon media, a bag to hold biologic media, and filter batting to wrap around the bags. Additionally, if you're look at using this as a betta tank, you'll need an additional prefilter sponge (fluval edge) to zip tie around the outflow. No matter how low you adjust the pump flow, the outflow is just too high for any betta to be safe. 2. The basic idea of the pumping system is ok, it's what's used in basically all "kits", however, it's the lack or forethought that caused this catastrophic failure. The tubing coming from the pump to the outflow inlet is connected by a small L-bend pipe... You put the pump pipe in and then the outflow pipe in and viola! It's done. NOT SO. As aquariums do, they get wet and slimy and slippery. During proper tank cycling, you leave the water as is to help establish the beneficial bacteria (BB) in the system. In doing so, you let your tank run wild and you grow biofilm and algae. That L-bend piece isn't secured to either pipe... It just losely sits there. First catastrophic failure happened overnight when the pump end detached from the L-bend causing 15% of the tank to be leaked into my bedroom wall, shelf, all it contains, and carpet. Well, shouldn't the black compartment lid keep it from leaking? I certainly think it would help, HOWEVER, my black kid came warped and never stayed on.... Useless. It slipped off several times when trying to troubleshoot a solution to keep the pieces together but I was unable to keep it on. Eventually, from multiple attempts to keep the pump tube connected to the outflow, the pump's connector split down the middle making it unusable. If I remember correctly, when I first set the tank up, all the plastic was sturdy. When I had my husband see if he could figure something out, he mentioned the "rubber connector" was broken. It wasn't rubber but hard plastic. In the course of a month, the plastic had deteriorated so much as to resemble rubber. Other notable observations: the part of the glass that is black, to shield off the viewing of the filtration side.... Is just a vynil decal which rips and tears. The light system is very poor and you WILL NOT be able to keep aquatic vegetation. The light attachment slides on the back glass with the additional intent that this should be your "cord management system". If you're particular and like things level, this light will drive you crazy. You have minimal room to put hose and cable through, and even when you get one line through, the light is crooked and unstable. The thing to do is: buy the tank you like (Petco has wonderful $1 per gal sales), get a decent heater, get a decent hang on back (HOB) or canister filter, a small air pump to run a airstone to, a decent light, and the stuff you want to fill it with! You'll get something to spec just like you want it, no gimmics or preformed areas, and for a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a kit. In the course of the month and a half I've had it, I've sunk a couple hundred dollars into it to make it usable. On top of the kit setup cost, I also have drywall damage, furniture damage, and carpet staining. PARENTS PLEASE GO TO YOUR LOCAL FISH STORE AND LET THEM HELP YOU BUILD YOUR OWN TANK!! DON'T LET YOU KIDS TALK YOU INTO BUYING A KIT BECASE ITS A FROZEN KIT OR WHATEVER. honestly, you don't need this kind of stress in your life. I'm childless and this has been such a stressful experience that I'm writing this LongAF review. Probably with tons of typos... I don't care... That's indicitave of all the range that's coming out. I'm not even sure if I can get a refund at this point. I feel like MarineLand should put me on their product development team, and buy me a fancy dinner with wine and cheesecake, and give me a tiara for living through the hellhole, and maybe give me a lifelong ticket to all the world's aquariums. I'm just so f'n pissed at all of this. When I looked at when I had this delivered for the purpose of the review, my face turned red. I feel like I've sunk 4 months into this project (HONESTLY) but actually I only set it up March 30.... and today is May 5... Cinco de Mayo! Lifelong tacos and margaritas would still not be enough to offset this experience. But, hey, MarineLand, if you wanted to try, I won't be mad... You do you.

—— INITIAL IMPRESSIONS Mine arrived perfectly. Which is more than I can say about the two attempts at purchasing a Fluval Spec from Amazon. The Marineland Portrait is well packaged. The curved glass looks fantastic. Think of it as one big shot glass. It makes the tank feel very high end. Although the glass is of lower quality than say a Fluval Spec V - it is still very clear and very thick comparatively. I have only two real criticism of this unit. My first is about the black plastic cover in the back, as others have said, feels flimsy. Marineland; if you are reading reviews, you should switch this out to a ticket matte ABS plastic. My second is the “clear silicone” on the back divider panel. This is nit-picky, but I think black would have been a better choice. Whenever I look into the tank, it stands out in the back corners. Overall though, this feels like a quality tank. I’ve had no issues with mine to date. I’m very happy with the product. It’s a great looking tank for a desktop. And it looks high end. I do have two recommendations for anyone who wants to hot rod this tank down below. —— MY SETUP I purchased this tank to do my first planted. I’m using “Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum” as my substrate, and then I have some Dragon stone and a dozen plants. The Marmimo moss ball and Frogbit are my favorites. In my tank I have 1 Red Veiltail Betta, 13 Red Cherry Shrimp, 2 Apple Snails & 1 Nerite Snail. —— RECOMMENDATIONS So - if you wanted a planted tank, you can do better for the lighting. Both the “ONF Nan”o & the “Fluval Plant Bluetooth Nano” will fit the back of this tank and allow you to use the back cover. I purchase the Fluval Nano (shown in my photos) as you get better bang for your buck with it. The ONF Nano might be better looking though. That’s up to you if, should you decide to upgrade. If you are going to have plants, you’re going to want to upgrade the light. The OE light is “Ok” but it’s not going to provide you with the kind of lighting you want to grow things. The second thing I did was improve the filtration. I chucked what it came with, and purchased some foam filter material to fill int he whole back panel where they just provide you a small block of it. On the front, I chucked that charcoal filter and did a DIY water polisher. The water first passes through “inTank Aquarium and Pond Value Pack - Bonded Blue & White Poly Filter Floss Pads 600-square-inches” and then through “ Polishing Filter Pad 100 Micron - 1 Pack -Superior Aquarium Prefilter Media - Cut to Fit 24" by 36" for Fresh Water & Saltwater Fish Tanks, Aquaculture, Hydroponics - Made in the USA” In the compartment, I’m using a filter bag filled with Fluval Biomax Ceramic Ring. This is working very well. My water stays crystal clear with the polishing material and the parameters are doing very well with the biomaterial. Like a few other reviewers, I did drill some small holes into the return tubing to reduce the flow for my Betta and to agitate the water in the back panel. This is a MUST DO IMO for this tank. Drill some holes people! —— FINAL THOUGHTS I can’t recommend this tank enough. I’m just some random dude on the internet. But this has been a very enjoyable purchase. This tank provides some solid value for the price.
