" ... I really love how everything is hidden neatly behind the wall, so there are no eyesores and messes, and the fish cannot get trapped or sucked into anything. ... "
" ... I have three betta in three tanks, but this tank is my absolute favorite because it’s beautiful and clean looking. ... "
" ... I highly recommend this tank, just be sure you have done lots of research before welcoming home your new pet! ... "
" ... The tank has a great modern and clean look which is a much more luxurious look and feel compared to my old TopFin that stopped working under a year after purchasing. ... "
" ... The filter is very strong, but removing the nozzle helped reduce it a little. ... "
" ... I have added a plant, substrate, gravel, bacteria and water conditioner. ... "
" ... I didn't want the commitment of cleaning a large tank at the moment, and this one is working out well. ... "
" ... If cleaning with a scrubber is desired just get a good long brush . ... or use magnet tank cleaner . ... gotta be a special magnet tank cleaner . ... "

" ... Only 2 downsides are that the sliding canopy top cannot close fully when you have a heater in the tank since the cord blocks it and theres no other place to put the cord other than to shove it against the back. ... "
" ... First, the cheap plastic stand is not leveled. ... "
" ... The back compartment that covers the wires sits on top of everything cheaply but doesn’t fasten in at all. ... "
" ... ( I was adding a gallon or 2 a week because of evaporation from the waterfall) The only negative is the sliding glass top. ... "
" ... Once the glass is lying in place, there’s no hinge or at lease some kind of handle. ... When removing it, I have dropped it or it has slipped into the tank. ... The second thing is the flimsy plastic back cover doesn’t stay flat. ... "
" ... and the plastic piece on top of tank is poorly made in comparison to rest of tank . ... "
" ... The tubing to connect the filter to go through the tank is in several sections that keep falling apart. ... "
" ... The cover doesn't really slide back the best and the back plastic part that fits over the pump area doesn't seem to fit the best but not really an issue. ... I keep that black plastic part just resting on the top to cover the pump area. ... "

" ... And longer vs. taller aquariums are better for most fish, particularly bettas since they prefer to be near the surface a lot of the time. ... "
" ... It is more like 4 gallons of swim space and 1 gallon of filter space. ... "
" ... Good space for a couple of small fish. ... Worth the buy, especially for a starter tank or in a entertaining space. ... "
" ... Buy small decor or stuff that floats since the size is taller than wider. ... "
" ... If you are looking for a beautiful 5 gallon tank that has a nice built in filter and great lighting look no further than this beauty. ... "
" ... it’s tall but it fits under my kitchen cabinets so I can keep it next to the kitchen sink . ... it doesn’t take up a ton of counter space . ... "
" ... I like the way the lid will slide open for feeding. ... "
" ... And tank size was what iIwas looking for. ... "

" ... The pump broke 4 months in. ... "
" ... I cannot seem to find the source of the leak on the bottom of the tank and it does not appear to cause issues or noticeable leaking unless moved, but if at all possible, I would really like this replaced for peace of mind. ... "
" ... I have owned this aquarium since March 30 of 2017. ... "
