    • Perfect for Bettas and Small fish
Size: 5-Gallon
So I'm a first time fish owner, and after much extensive research into the different tanks on amazon and research online, I decided to go with this one. I'm super happy with the tank, it's definitely great for a first time fish owner and perfect for bettas (which is what I have in there, don't worry just the one haha). The filter is very quiet and effective from what I can tell, and my betta actually likes to swim underneath and and get partially sucked into the flow and then swim away, like some sort of game haha! But he seems super happy in there with all that I've got, he's even starting to make little bubble nests :) The light works pretty well too, and is bright enough to see inside, but not too bright that it's blinding. I'll do a quick pros and cons list, because there are just a few disadvantages. Pros: -nice and roomy -quiet filter (although keep in mind i have it on the lowest flow setting for my betta) -nice LED lights -not completely enclosed so theres a little notch where you can feed your fish through Cons: -does not come with a heater, so you need to buy separately -because of the way the tank is angled, sometimes your fish can see his reflection so for the first few days my betta was very intensely interested and liked to fight it. once i switched to a lighter background on my tank, however, he seemed much better -if you do have a filter, condensation does tend to build up underneath the lid, but thankfully i haven't had much problems with it so far (just posting so you're aware) -the lid isnt attached at all to the tank, so if you do need to take it off, its not on hinges and you have to completely take it off. not really bad just a bit of an inconvience. Hope this helps! ... show more

    • Awesome product. Look inside review for recommended additional purchases and tips on how to quiet any grinding noises.
Size: 5-Gallon
First off I bought this with the knowledge that it is very easy to scratch; however the solution to this for me will be the nova liquid which fixes any scratches. Glass however cannot be fixed and I've had bad experiences with leaking so this was the way I wanted to go. The light is really nice and super bright. However it makes me nervous without there being a cover with how much evaporation is going on in winter. We will see. The lid did not seem to fit correctly until I filled it with water which made it bulge out and it fits perfectly now. The filter is one of my favorite things about this, I buy mine unassembled (less then $1 per filter) all you do is open a small carbon bag and dump it into the frame and close it with the clip. It's also very quite and simple to clean compared to the others i've tried. If you experince grinding you just need to check all the connections and try unplugging it and plugging it back in which realigns the impeller. You could even lube it with something fish safe and it will be completely silent. It also has a adjustable flow for those betta lovers! My recommendations to buy with this are: Tetra unassembled (medium) cartridges 12 pack. Magfloat acrylic (small). Novus bottles stage 1,2, and 3 for any scratches. (Optional: Blue led bubbler for inside the tank so it will have a night light) Make sure the tank is fully on the stand as it does come off for cleaning purposes i imagine. Finally this purchase did not come with any of the usual free samples of food or chemicals so if you are in a rush to get this set up like me make sure to have that already purchased. ... show more

    • Lid is wonky, filter is a little loud, but good for beginners
Size: 5-Gallon
The media could not be loaded. I've had this tank for about 48 hours now. My small betta really likes it! It's a good size, but does take up room. There is a lot of space to fit decorations inside of it. At first, I was wary about the filter because my fish is very small, and the current does toss her around a bit, but she seems to be getting used to it, and the filter makes a huge difference, so I think it's probably worth it. If you put enough plants/decorations in the tank, the fish can find little spaces to hide where the current isn't felt. I don't like that my betta has taken to hiding behind the filter though; I've seen reviews for other filters (not for this one) where the betta gets stuck in between the suction cups on the back of the filter. Haven't had that problem yet, but I wish there wasn't as much space behind it. The filter is a littttttle loud. I wanted to turn it off at night, but all the fish care websites say that's a bad idea, so I guess I'll get used to it. I love the LED light that comes with the tank, it makes it really pretty. Other than that, the lid IS wonky, as all the reviews have stated. My fish is so small that there's no real chance she'll try and jump out, but one wrong move and the lid can fall into the tank. I've also found that when the lid is on, it creates condensation in between where the water stops and the top of the tank. I don't love that, but it's helpful when I'm trying to heat it up. All in all, I am liking this tank. I think it's a good little kit for beginners. It's true that my betta seems much happier with all this room--she went from one gallon to five. I am giving her the life of luxury. ... show more

    • Good Starter Betta Tank
Size: 5-Gallon
Tank is curved so it adds some dimension to where you have your tank located. Simple set-up, I have no issue with the lid even though it doesn't latch on, as long as the tank is covered that is what matters. Low flow is perfect for a Betta fish since they cannot have strong currents. Light is bright, I do not use mine often since I prefer natural lighting vs artificial. ... show more
