Review on 🐠 Aqueon Ascent LED Aquarium Kit 6 Gallon, Black by Jim Larson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

6 gallon is a great nano tank for the kitchen!

If you can snag one of these beads, it might be a good choice for your next aquarium. I originally bought a 10 gallon (from a local pet store) but returned it for a 6 gallon due to the height. The 6 gallon measures approximately 16 inches wide, 8.5 inches deep, and the height varies from 13.5 inches at the rear to 12 inches high at the front (including the approximately 1/2 inch base that makes the tank appear to "float". leaves). " on your counter). 10 gallons was too massive to fit on our kitchen countertop with cabinets above. Pros: - Modern, minimalist tank with a sleek design - LED lights under the lid so you're not blinded when you sit closure - Feed port/filter access on back of lid with space for heating cord - Black backing conceals filter and heater - Filter is soft enough for fighting fish and incredibly quiet - Raised, hidden base - Though strong enough to hold Anubias, Tufted Java Fern and Moss Balls to grow Recently added Coral Moss, more Anubias (Golden Little Nana), Hornwort, Anacharis and Mini Butse Anubias and Java Fern need to be tied to rock or decor to keep their roots from rotting but great for low light, no CO2 to choose from the cons: - Filter contains cartridge and sponge, no other biomedia and room for ceramic surrounds or Purigen-Pak ete. (Instead, a Marine Pure bullet was added to the tank) - No outer edge reinforcement. Troubled silicone may leak one day. - Lid is awkward to open/remove for feeding and cleaning. A front feeding opening would be helpful. Image: I currently have a two-tailed male rooster, a red snail, a purple mystery snail, a blue mystery snail, and a saucer in my tank. CaribSea Instant Aquarium Torpedo Beach Sand is used as the substrate (smaller than gravel, but larger than ordinary grains of sand). Asian cherry and lantern ornaments purchased from a pet store. Green stones are exotic polished jade stones. Bought a Large Green Chicken Hammock from Revain. Heater Cobalt Neo-Therm 50W. Inside the tank a Marine Pure Biobead has been added along with poly filter pieces in the filter and tank for extra water clarity and bio support. Use Seachem Prime and Stability until the tank completes the cycle.
