Review on ๐Ÿ  Tetra LED Cube 3 Gallon Aquarium with Pedestal Base: Enhanced SEO-friendly Version by Mary Gardner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ok tank, inferior equipment. Need aftermarket light and filtering.

The tank itself is fine, but everything that comes with it is kind of a joke. There is barely enough light to illuminate the tank and the filter uses air instead of an impeller to control the filtration process. While it's pretty smart, the filter is called "Silent Whisper" and I'm not sure what they compare it to because the pump is louder than most of my conversations. Also, the marketing image doesn't show the filter hanging in the corner, and the overall aesthetic definitely doesn't look as clean as pictured. Another problem with the air operated filter is that it bubbles VERY well after the tank is empty. looped. I had to lower the water level in the tank an inch or two to keep the bubbles from overflowing. Luckily the design allows you to do this in about 30 seconds, which was nice to be able to do. For $40, however, this is a decent little water box. However, the light is on a separate plug, which means you can set it on a timer, which is unlike a lot of other small tank kits I've seen online (where both the filter and light are on the same plug ). . ) . And if you're just starting out, this could be a neat little box for a guest room or patio. However, if you sleep or spend a lot of time on it, put the air pump in a soundproof container/place and just buy new (and better lighting) if money allows.

Pros
  • Equipped with a Tetra 3i filter to keep the aquarium clean and create an ideal environment for small tropical fish.
Cons
  • Weight
