🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The Tetra 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit is widely praised for its quality and accessories, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned hobbyists and those new to fishkeeping. Customers appreciated the well-made tank, the whisper-quiet filter, and the inclusion of nearly all necessary items to start an aquarium. However, there were repeated concerns about the LED lights and power supply, which seem prone to malfunctioning, and some customers suggested that there are better value kits available.

Pros

  • 🐠 High-quality, USA-made tank with tempered glass
  • 🌱 Nearly complete setup with accessories and food to get started
  • 🔇 Whisper-quiet filter that is customizable and easy to clean
  • 💧 Original heater and filter have longevity and maintain tank conditions well
  • 📘 Easy setup with simple instructions

Cons

  • 💡 LED lights prone to failure and may require an upgraded power supply
  • 🔧 Hood construction considered flimsy and prone to warping
  • 💸 Some believe the kit is overpriced for the value it offers
  • 🌿 Plastic plants provided offer minimal cover and may be inadequate for some setups

Should I Buy It?

While the Tetra 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit has its merits in quality and accessories, potential buyers should weigh the issues with the LED lighting and consider the overall value. If you're willing to address potential light issues or seek an almost complete and easy setup, it could be a worthy investment. However, if you're looking for the best value or a kit without the need for additional tweaks, you may want to explore other options.

10/30/22 Update I still have this aquarium and it is doing well. The lights in the hood did fail about 6 months ago. I upgraded to an LED light bar that is better for planted tanks. I replaced the hoods with some clear acrylic. I may change the hoods to real glass at some point because the clear plastic has warped. You can run it without a hood, but you may have to top off the tank occasionally due to evaporation and you might risk having a fish jump to its death. The original heater and filter are still operating. I replaced the Tetra filter media with large blocks of filter sponge and I clean it out monthly. I would still recommend this aquarium for anyone new to the hobby. The tank and filter are both high-quality pieces and will be serviceable for many years. Original October 2019 Review When I first saw that this aquarium kit was going to travel over 1500 miles by ground to my house, I was worried that I would be getting a box full of broken glass. My worries were for nothing because the aquarium arrived intact and had all of listed components inside the box. Basically you'll have about 90% of what you need to get an aquarium up and running with this kit. The tank is USA made with 3/16" tempered glass. The 55 gallon size gives you a lot of space to be creative and it is easier to maintain water quality with the larger volume. It has a hood with integrated LED lighting. The filter is the well known Tetra Whisper 60 that really is whisper quiet. Disregard the videos that show the filter operating with a loud chattering noise. These were made by morons who didn't prime the pump or had the impeller installed incorrectly before turning it on. The filter wells are nice and deep and you can ditch the replaceable cartridges for any type of reusable media (sponge, filter floss, bio-rings, rock, etc.). It's also easy to clean and has only one moving part (two if you count the flow control knob). The heater was a no-name 200W UL certified. It has been working just fine and maintaining temp. for the last two months. The kit also comes with several packs of plastic and silk plants, water conditioner, a stick-on thermometer, a net, and food to get you started. The only things you'll need to add to get it up and running are substrate, water, and fish. If this is your first aquarium, I would also recommend getting a bottle of bacteria starter culture, some extra water conditioner, a gravel vac, and a water test kit. This would make a great gift for anyone wanting to get into the hobby. Happy fish keeping! ... show more

Aquarium is nice however the lights are less than desirable. We have had our tank up about 1 month and lights are already dimming and blinking at us.

The media could not be loaded. We’ve been very pleased with our tank going on 4 years! I know it took a while to write a review, lol. It’s very well built and a strong tank. It’s held up to a toddler throwing small toys at it which I don’t recommend. The seals are strong and as you can see we added a second Filter. The tank has some algae at the moment but water levels are top notch! The fish are happy and have lots of space to swim. I will have you know that the lights did fail not long after purchase so we purchased color changing led’s and we couldn’t be happier. We have it on an Ikea console table which we reinforced by adding more legs but I don’t recommend that either. We’ll be looking for another solution soon due to safety issues with my toddler grandchild. The console is not secured to the wall so we plan on finding a proper stand for it. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you place it on a strong base!!! Overall I have to say that our family is very pleased with the tank. If you’re on the fence, get it! But I will say that the price point right now is very high. We purchased it in the $200ish price range and felt it was a good deal. Now it’s almost $400 so hold off and wait for a good deal to pop up. I Highly recommend this 55 gallon Tetra tank! ... show more

Great kit for the price. I was a little worried when I receive the package everything came in because the box looked like it had been through a war and back but to my surprise everything was perfectly fine Inside. I heard some people claim that he water pump had a high pitch noise but I just followed the instructions and it's working fine and is pretty quiet. The lighting is actually nice and bright and the kit pretty much included everything you need to get started except for some gravel/sand. The only thing I could be picky about is that in my opinion some of the fake plants included seemed kinda cheap and ugly but It didn't matter for me much since I'm using mostly real plants with a couple fake ones mixed in. Overall im really happy and think it will make a good home for my new fish when I get them. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. Incredibly happy with this purchase. This kit has everything that you need to get started with your own aquarium except for the stand which you can buy separately through Amazon and the gravel for the bottom of the tank. The tank is a sturdy and durable build, installation of the LED lighting into the hood is easy, installation and setup of the filter and the heater is easy as well. The most difficult part of the tank prep is popping out the plastic inserts in the hood on the side where you intend to install the filter. The kit includes a stick on thermometer which may be sufficient for your needs; I have separately purchased a digital one as I was having trouble reading the included stick on. The included plants are a nice addition and help to get you started with tank decoration. You could likely put together a nice display with only these pieces or use them to add to other decorations and still be content. The kit also includes some AquaSafe and Tetra food too get you started, too, though I do recommend a larger sized container of AquaStart to prime your aquarium before stocking. Lastly, in my limited experience with aquariums, the filter seems to run pretty quietly to me. It is definitely something that you can noticeably hear, but it is not an annoyance. I’m not sure that it could be much quieter. I’ve included a video of it running so you can judge for yourself. Best of luck if you purchase it this kit! If you’re looking to put together your own 55-gallon home aquarium, I don’t think you can go wrong with this one. ... show more
