Marina 5 Gallon (19 L) LED Aquarium Kit – Ideal for Beginner Aquarists and New Fish-Keepers

Bought the 20 Gallon and it came unbroken wich is am very happy with. It comes with food, bacteria starter, fish net, water conditioner, and a little temp sticker. It was packaged very nicely with Styrofoam blocks on the sides to prevent dings. I do wish instructions came with the bacteria starter but the water conditioner does come with instructions. The light is decently bright and you could easily change it out if you needed to as it doesn't come installed in the lid. The filter works great and is pretty quiet. I haven't had a filter like it before but it cleared up the water quite fast. It was very easy to put together but it does have instructions. It also looks big enough to add additional filter media. Only downside is it doesn't come with a heater but overall this is a great product for a good price.

Love this kit. Filter works well and lid fits perfect. Cleaned the muddy tank in just one afternoon and then I can swap out the filters easily. The small net is handy, too. All the basic necessities are included. Tank is constructed well also. I filled it half full before placing the tank where I want it, but my finger got caught under it. When I pulled finger out, it slipped and had a half-inch drop onto the surface. I thought it was going to break but it held up. This leads to some area for potential improvement: 1. Wish the bottom of the tank has some sort of groove to get fingers under when moving the tank. 2. The light is not adjustable. It works but is a bit too bright for the size of the tank. 3. Wish the lid has some sort of hinge clip so I can lift just one side of it without worrying that it will drop into or behind the tank. Even with these minor things, it is still a very good fish tank.

Nice Aquarium, quiet and filters easy to change. I was used to have undergravel filters for years when I had 5 tanks and now not many tanks have them, the side filters are nice though. Better than I thought, I have had it set up for maybe a week. You need to get a heater, decor and also an air pump if you want a bubbler in it. I set it up and a couple days later put 4 smaller Platys in it. I did not use the bio liquid in it. Too unclear in directions and what I could find, it said to do it again the 2nd day, then 3rd. I have cycled tank with a couple fish before, as long as you are vigilant about partial water changes about once a week. About a quarter of the water each time for about 4 to 6 weeks. Sooner if water looks a bit off. I like the hood a lot, it blends from tank to hood really well and it has a hole for removing and feeding. All I had to have extra were the heater and air pump, but I already had them in my supplies. The filters just slip out and put a new one in, easy. The light is bright, I don't have live plants, so they suffice. I don't really like tanks that have to many openings for evaporation and mist, from air pumps and bubbles. I was getting way too many platy fry for the 2, 5 gal tanks I have. I decided, 1 more to accommodate the additions.I am concerned about getting too many more and do not know what to do with them. I have had other fussier fish but these are very hardy, but breed way too fast. I have 12 total fry in the two small tanks in the last 1 and half months. Cute, but should have ears, I swear they are like rabbits. I will see as time goes on how well the tank holds up. Can't fore see a problem except running out of room in the next few months. I would recommend this tank, but if you get Platys they are always prego. Ugh!

UPDATE - I came into the office the next day, flipped the switch and was delighted to see the light come on. The tank looks great! Now, I'm listening to the rattle of the filter and I feel sorry for fish that have to hang out in that water the rest of their lives feeling and hearing that pump's buzzing. I don't mind it so much, but I hate it for the fish. It is loud, but my brain gets used to it as background noise. Yeah, I saw the other reviews complaining about the light not working or stopped working after a little while. I thought I'd take my chances cuz what are the odds that every single one is bad? Well good thing I don't play the lottery because my chances we're not very good on this one! Put the whole thing together with water and decorations and following all the instructions. It's so cute! I set it up in my office and I can't wait to move the fish from my house to the office. But the very last step was turning on the light to view my masterpiece and I was brokenhearted when nothing happened. I changed the plug to various different outlets I detached the cord from the plug and put it back in. Didn't even get a flicker! From looking at the other reviews with the save issue, and since Amazon is the sender instead of the manufacturer, I see no review responses saying that they would replace the light. So I guess I now need to go out and buy a light. One of the main reasons for taking the fish to the office was because I'm going out of town for a while and I need my employees. And now that whole thing is on hold because I can't bring the fish in if they don't have a light. So, the rest of the aquarium is perfect, I love the skinny filter, the tanks adorable, but you're taking your chances on the light. Just know what you're getting!

It comes complete and perfect

Ho voluto aspettare un pò di tempo prima di recensire, per essere sicura di quello che avrei scritto. Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi, ben imballato e integro. Il montaggio è stato facile e dentro ho trovato anche due filtri di cui sarei stata sprovvista, vista la mia inesperienza, quindi grazie per questo plus. Il filtro a zainetto fa un pò di rumore ma mi sono abituata e so che non ci sono tante alternative, quindi, finchè non deciderò di acquistare un acquario più grande, me lo terrò così com'e'. Per essere un acquario da neofiti, va più che bene, a mio parere. Fino ad oggi, nessun problema di nessun tipo e spero di non dover mai aggiornare questa recensione per scrivere situazioni negative. Ad oggi, dopo quasi 20 giorni, posso solo che consigliarlo.

Par contre la pompe est un peu bruyante

excelllent
