Tangkula AM2759HM First Impressions

"Great beginners tank."

Given the price I paid, I am hoping it will continue to hold water! I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. Use seachem prime and stability with every water change and as needed by directions. The pic is a bit cloudy since I just filled it up and its still cycling. DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. That will make it easier to maintain the water temp and find a heater.

  • Tangkula 1 Gallon Aquarium Fish Tank, Fish Aquarium with LED Light & Power Filter, Fish Bowl Comes with Artificial Aquatic Plants & Blue Jean Aquarium Gravel
  • Impact-resistant Acrylic Cover: Made of acrylic for better light transmission. Unlike glass, this material has higher strength and durability. One-piece structure of this stylish shaped fish tank does not need to worry about any leakage. The modern design aquarium is a beautiful home & office decor.
  • Energy-efficient LED lighting: Simple by touching the button, the LED light will illuminate the whole fish tank, providing a new experience for you to viewing your fish. Not only that, LED light has the characteristics of high brightness and low energy consumption and provides super bright light while ensuring durability and long life.
  • Filter Sponge & Silent Water Pump: Equipped with biochemical filter sponge. When pouring water, you need to pour on this filter in order to filter through other impurities and keep aquarium water crystal clear. More importantly, the air pump can be tightened to achieve the effect of mute operation. The air volume also can be adjusted by simply pressing the air pump.
  • Easy To Set Up and Maintain: There is a drain at the bottom for easy water change. The top cooling holes are designed to dissipate the heat from the water pump and led to avoid overheating. There is also a feeding hole on the top for feeding fish. Most importantly, the minimum water level must be exceeded when filling water to prevent the pump from heating and damaging.
  • Stylish Desktop Fish Tank & Great Holiday Gift: The 1 gallon small fish tank can raise guppies, angel fish and other ornamental fishes. Include with artificial aquatic plastic plants and blue jean aquarium gravel to create your own desktop aquarium. Apart from that, this fish aquarium with LED light is a great gift for friends, colleagues and family members for festival days or birthday parties.

Tangkula AM2759HM Final Thoughts

"It's so sleek!"

Glass was very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Beveled edges all around and the silicon work is really nice. I could not put water in it as shipped because the return pump was compromised. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. Bottom line is~28 hours after receipt this is one star. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. I do 1 drop per two gallons 3x a week for first few months.

2. BioCube Coralife Size 32 Basic Reef Aquarium Bundle (6 Items)

BioCube First Impressions

"I would buy another."

All in all it is packaged very well. I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. The pic is a bit cloudy since I just filled it up and its still cycling. The most serious issue thus far is the light bar. Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube. We had a new home built this year, and just moved in. It's simple enough to put together.

BioCube Final Thoughts

"Recommended."

Not a single smear or excess silicon in any place, no bubbles, ymmv. Should survive the shipping process just fine! It contains 8 styrofoam corner protectors on the tank. My biggest gripes about it are the lack of room in the back. The pic is a bit cloudy since I just filled it up and its still cycling. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. My sponge, duster worms, snails and crabs, porcelain and emerald are doing well.

Landen First Impressions

"Pretty Happy."

That will make it easier to maintain the water temp and find a heater. It will help establish your good bacteria, and get the nitrogen cycle started. I recommend buying the biOtube polish to! Given the price I paid, I am hoping it will continue to hold water! The size is in the description is accurate. The pictures are from day 4, note the crystal clear water. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches.

Landen Final Thoughts

"Attached some photos."

A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. The Landen box is labeled fragile and inside an Amazon box. Should survive the shipping process just fine! I started the cycling process and it's holding water so far! It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. I added some privacy film to help hide the cords and the hang-on-back filter. I used an Aquatop Np302 and the tubing from the Portrait as my return pump.

4. Fluval Fresh Aquarium and Cabinet Set

Fluval 15100 First Impressions

"Absolutely gorgeous."

I plan on plenty invertebrates and softies only so I may never need to upgrade. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. 1 gallon puts my other 7 tanks to shame. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. My only comment is that Amazon should label their box fragile. I plan on plenty invertebrates and softies only so I may never need to upgrade. Overall great package and would definitely buy it again and recommend it.

Fluval 15100 Final Thoughts

"Will keep you posted!"

I do enjoy how modern it looks with no rims. It came quickly, and was easy to set up. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. Also very important for filtration. The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks.

"I have used the h."

To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. Overall great package and would definitely buy it again and recommend it. The Landen box is labeled fragile and inside an Amazon box. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. If this goes well I have a spare 75g at home I'll probably convert into a reef tank. Medium on the bottom, coarse on top. If this goes well I have a spare 75g at home I'll probably convert into a reef tank.

SC Aquariums SCA-66PNP Final Thoughts

"It is non-adjustable."

Put in small fish at 1 inch per gallon. The purple coralline algae is growing well. I will try to come back in a few months with an updated photo of this tank. I bought 2 more 1lb bags of ceramic material and I only needed one more. After some experimentation And constant monitoring I found that the flat Aqueon 7. I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it.

"Absolutely gorgeous."

After the foam is in I put the gravel in. The size is in the description is accurate. Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. I grabbed the Sungrow Aquarium Gravel Cleaner Kit. By using live rock and sand, you'll be able to cycle this tank within 3-4 weeks.

"Who knows why."

The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches. All in all it is packaged very well. I have been an active fish keeper for years. I immediately noticed that the glass moves slightly in the corners when pressed on. You can see the pic and decide what's right for your needs. Nothing to complain about with this tank at all.

"Is like a decor piece."

Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Glass was very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. He is so happy and swims around all day instead of just sitting in a corner. Indeed the light did not illuminate at all but only flashed as seen in the video. DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less.

Lifegard Aquatics R460005 Final Thoughts

"Fantastic aquarium!"

It took less than 10 minutes to get a new light bar shipped out. Please note that the tank is 100% clear. Not a single smear or excess silicon in any place, no bubbles, ymmv. I will usually slow it down more at night so he can sleep undisturbed. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. I had a coworker who also likes fish helping me and we had it together in 15 minutes. I really like the ceramic media as it provides a great home for the'good' bacteria.

Double the amount of ceramic media they give you. The size is in the description is accurate. I wanted to wait a little before reviewing so I could give a good and honest review. Not a fan of the filtration sponge. You can't even see the pushed in spots. I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank. I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect.

The longest delay was my downloading invoice. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. All in all it is packaged very well.

"Tank arrived intact."

The Landen box is labeled fragile and inside an Amazon box. If this goes well I have a spare 75g at home I'll probably convert into a reef tank. At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. All in all it is packaged very well. Clean silicone lines and clear glass. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. Most important though is the lighting issue.

The most serious issue thus far is the light bar. Bottom line is~28 hours after receipt this is one star. I put it opposite the return pump and it creates awesome flow. Medium on the bottom, coarse on top. I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed. I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums. The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too.
