"It looks really bad."

I keep both on a low to low medium setting. And the lights that it comes with are my absolute favorite. Definitely recommend this tank hands down! This is going to be a sweet little setup! It has a hood with integrated LED lighting. I didn't know that the background only goes halfway down the back of the tank. The heater was a no-name 200W UL certified.

"I like the all in one."

And it builds up a lot of algae so it needs to be cleaned more. I also bought a heater with a built in thermostat. Will not grow anything aside from Anubias and moss balls. And now, the pros and cons in my opinion. The shrimp sit on the wall and can hide in the back also. Couldn't put the heater there because it does not heat the whole tank. It's raised at the edges and just looks bad.

"Great customer service."

After reading only four reviews I was hesitant. I put shrimp and guppies in it and they love it. I just set this up today and I absolutely love it so far. BUT it still looks pretty cool for a background lol. The cherry shrimp had fries twice and now my Celestial Pearl Danios are laying eggs. This is a good deal for a complete setup, less the rocks for the bottom. We have had it for over a month now.

"Cute little tank."

Fortunately, the way the arm is designed you can zip tie something like the 7. It has been working just fine and maintaining temp. It's really nice to have for betta fish that need to be in warm water. This is the best 5 gallon tank you will ever purchase for the price. Problem is, the glass sits flush with that top edge. The filter is actually a pretty nice design. This is the best 5 gallon tank you will ever purchase for the price.

3. Beta Cube Starter Fish Aquarium with Accessories

AQUA CULTURE First Impressions

"I highly recommend it."

I've included a video of it running so you can judge for yourself. There arent very many other aquariums at this price point with these measurements. This unit was an upgrade for my daughters Beta tank. I wish I new about that before I got it. Plan to buy another filter as this filter will be too noisy for you to tolerate! I'm not sure that it could be much quieter. The shrimp sit on the wall and can hide in the back also.

"Scratch that."

It has everything except for the pebbles we purchased separated we loved it! Stop now and BUY BUY BUY you will love it! I've had it for a few days now and had zero problems hooking everything up. I say it's a good buy and a very nice tank. He was being suctioned to the filter. Again, heater and light if you are doing real plants. I love the tank and everything else about it but the background!

"5 tank for my Betta fish."

I dont use the filter, I covered up the filter vents with some netting. I say it's a good buy and a very nice tank. Came with the tank and background along with a pump and light. We have had it for over a month now. There arent very many other aquariums at this price point with these measurements. I'm a first-time fish parent, and this is my first filtered aquarium. - Though the base is plastic, it's sturdy.

Aqueon First Impressions

"Perfect product."

Not crazy about the lid or the stand. I cant wait to set this up and get some shrimp and cardinal tetras in there. It is definitely something that you can noticeably hear, but it is not an annoyance. The lights have a timer and three different levels of brightness and color. I do use the filter housing to house a heater and co2 diffuser. They're not nearly as sensitive as these little 2. All contents included were as promised and they work fantastically.

"Was time to upgrade."

Will be buying a second of these tanks for my step daughter's Betta. - it really only holds 4 gallons after you add gravel and decorations. I say it's a good buy and a very nice tank. We have had it for over a month now. Fluval, BioOrd, and several other micro tanks. No more then five or six tiny ones is my guess. But overall the money was so worth this little pack.

"Now the big bad thing."

Ok let's start off with the tank itself. I put mine in the corner of my breakfast bar. Nothing came broke and everything is working. I always had bubbles on the front of my tank no matter how I faced the tubes. Not crazy about the lid or the stand. Enough colors and gradients to please any demanding scaled pet. It'll be fine, just be careful how you deal with the filter.

"- Fish food."

I dont use the filter, I covered up the filter vents with some netting. This is especially important if you opt to keep tropical fish rather than a betta. It's perfect for guppies, shrimp, bettas, neon tetras or any other small fish. I didn't know that the background only goes halfway down the back of the tank. And now, the pros and cons in my opinion. No doubt, I'll just be throwing that out. No doubt, I'll just be throwing that out.

"It is very quiet."

The aquarium kit is with the exception of the filter is excellent! Will not grow anything aside from Anubias and moss balls. The pump is also as close to silent as you can get. And the lights that it comes with are my absolute favorite. The lights have a timer and three different levels of brightness and color.
