Excellent quality! The glass is super strong. The only problem I had was that the lid was too small, but other than that I'm very satisfied.

Nice aquarium. However, the filter that comes with the kit is stuck with a fancy paste that is difficult to remove. The glass lid is almost like a bully.

The tank is great and looks wise it's exactly what I wanted. The problems I have is that the hop is blue and because of the color it sticks out. What an odd design choice for such a beautiful cubic tank. Second, I have several dead zones with hissing pools on the water surface. I don't think this Hoff is strong enough for such a deep tank?

Is it possible to get a cheaper 10 gallon kit? Naturally. Would I like the way he looks the same? Not at all. This aquarium is perfect for a spoiled rooster or a school of nanofish. I have a betta that hangs out with a few little puzzles and a stubborn ghost shrimp. I spend hours a day looking at it, but it only takes a few minutes a week to clean it.

It was very difficult for me to separate the box that came with the pump from the inside of the tank. They put really strong double-sided tape on the rear and bottom windows and secured the box. I had to use a razor blade scraper to get…

Pros: Great 5 gallon aquarium, very solid. The included HOB filter is fine. You can make small changes to the filter thread and biomaterial to improve its performance. The lid is a simple rectangular piece of glass that sits on top of two plastic tabs. It has enough space for a HOB filter and other items like a light clip (sold separately). Cons: I wish the glass lid had a more defined fit with two rounded corners to fit snugly in the front, but that's a minor complaint. The biggest scam was…

I bought 2 five gallon aquariums. Let's start with what I like. I love the cube shape and I love how the curved front glass offers an unobstructed view. The glass is strong, seals well and weighs less than I expected. I love that it comes with a thermometer and a small net suitable for small tetras, mollies or chickens. I love that it has a pillow that you put under the aquarium glass so the glass doesn't touch the surface. I like that the outboard stern filter is small and modern. Now for what
