Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The duckweed needs to be culled almost every day because it's a small surface and they propagate fast. Even with the constant nutritious water pouring over the plant roots, they need to be misted too. It's easy to buy rotifer or daphnia eggs that you ... Read More

Small, cute, and stylish. Our five year old grandson loves this aquarium. It is compact enough to fit in a smaller area.

The pump has good suction and the water flows to every plant pot. The pump action provided by the waterfall/filter isn't particularly aggressive, but it doesn't need to be.

Not having seams at the display in the front is also aesthetically pleasing. An extra $15 for an automatic one with sunrise and sunset is worth it.

Cons

No gravel. The hose was kinked. The waterfall portion of the tank is extremely thin and frail. Between the heat from the light and the lack of any sort of lid, evaporation is a constant problem.

It looks pretty, but not suitable for fish. Bettas need heated water (78-80 degrees f) so even at the minimum size for a betta tank this is not great. But for its intended purpose, as a fish tank, it’s a dud.

I was unable to set up the aquarium because it arrived broken in shipping

I got a timed sunrise and sunset lamp

Packaging/appearance

My product arrived packaged very well and completely intact

Was so sad to receive broken but was able to make return

Not to mention that filter box is so small and doesn’t have that much sucking power just the perfect amount

I just wish it had been packed better for shipping

Competitiveness

I can tell a difference in the quality of light with the finnex lights and the one that came with it
