NICREW 2.5 Gallon Nano Nature Aquarium Kit, Ultra-Clear Rimless Desktop Fish Tank with Light, Filter, Gravel and Rock, Perfect for Small Fish, Shrimp, or Betta, Complete Version, Black

Nicest rimless nano aquarium I have ever bought. It was packaged so well and it really helped because my sister accidentally dropped it bringing it in. For the size, this tank really stands out. Perfect size and shape for my desk. Immediately upon opening I noticed it has a nice built in leveling matt. This tank is super sturdy but not too heavy. Doesn’t take up too much room. I also noticed the bottom is glass too and not cheap plastic like most nanos. It came with the back glass painted black, but there is a clear option as well. I paint the backs of all my tanks black and often use black substrate. Makes the fish stand out and brightly colored. I leak tested it for 2 days before setting it up and there was no leakage at all. The light is really nice and bright. I like that I can switch it on and off with 1 push of a button. However, I like things uncomplicated. So if you want full spectrum and programmable you will want to get a different type. Works great with my plants. I put velcro on back of light switch and the tank to have easy access. I put a floating log and Amazon frog bit in my tank to shade my ADFs. The filter is wonderful and simple for this size tank. IMO it is comparable to the Fluval HOB filters at a fraction of the price. So good I ordered the same filter separately for another nano tank. Works great and is almost silent. I added some ceramic media to the right side of my filter. I like that it has multiple types of filtration in one yet not complicated at all. Super easy to clean the sponge filter inside the tank that makes it safe for smaller critters like neos. The one on the outside-HOB-is great because it has carbon & basically filter floss and another pre-sponge basically all in one. If you don’t want to use this kind, i suggest filter floss. All in all looks amazing (and expensive) at a stealer price. Great for a starter tank too. Would def buy again!

This is a beauuuuuutiful aquarium! It's just the perfect size for my betta, who is very, very happy in here, with it being heavily planted, a tunnel, a shelf hammock, a driftwood open cave, and a clay "vase" full of more Anubias. What I love about this tank: - Intelligently designed and very functional. There are two small slots in the back of the cover/lid, which fits my bubbler tube perfectly on the left. My heater cord fits perfectly in the slot on the right. I don't use the filter or the light clip that comes with it, so I cut up pieces of the foam packing to cover those up to retain the heat. The little hole in the front left is left open for air exchange. - The feeding hole right in the middle of the lid is the perfect size. It has its own lid that conveniently lifts on and off for easy feeding. - The beautiful glass is crystal clear, feels super smooth, and has a pretty light blue-green tint on the edges. - The silicone seal is completely invisible, not sloppy goops like some big-box store brands. - The material/glass feels like high quality. - The tank overall feels very sturdy and well made. - The base has a light white pad, which helps with stability so it doesn't slide around very easily. - The lid has a thin inner lip, so condensation and bubbler spray fall back into the tank and does not leak on the outside, as I have experienced with another tank. - Love the sleek, minimalist look of the whole tank. Even the lid is very suave and fits perfectly. I spent days looking at many tanks and their specs. I had originally ordered a different tank, but cancelled it just in time and got this one instead. So happy that I did. This is a bit pricey, considering I'm not using the filter or the light that comes with it. But overall this is a great tank, very beautiful, high quality, and well made. I would buy 1,000 of these. Very highly recommended!

Love, love, love this little fish tank. Comes with almost everything you need to get a tank started. I would love it if they would include a small heater. I got the black one, which looks great. The glass is a real high quality and thicker than any of the other small fish tanks I was looking at. Fits perfectly on my master bathroom counter. No leaks so far, and with the quality I doubt that it will leak. I bought this on sale and it was such a great price I ended up buying a second one. Everything works great, the rocks and gravel for the bottom are perfect, they supply more than enough of both. Easy to clean and manage.

What a great little kit! NICREW has put together a nearly perfect nano aquarium kit at this price point. Packaging is very high quality. Happy to see the back glass already painted black and the cute little filter is completely silent, adequate for this tank size. The included LED light is very bright (but does get hot to the touch). I think it will help grow a number of different plants without issue. This is perfect for a shrimp-only tank or potentially keeping a single smaller sized Betta. Only thing that would make this kit 100% complete would be including a small basic heater, but even as-is it's a solid deal for a rimless with all that's included. If NICREW starts making larger sized aquarium kits such as this one in 10-40 gallon sizes...I will instantly buy multiple!

This is the perfect tank for my fish and I absolutely love the look of it! Totally worth the purchase and my fishie and my little snail ate so happy in this tank. My fishie is way more active, friendly, and comes out to say hi every time I come check in on him and my snail. The filter functions well but is not the best filter but it doesn’t matter if you have live plants because the plants keep the water crystal clear and calls for way less water changes. I highly recommend this tank and to get some live plants to put in it as well! Also the lid for the opening isn’t the best but I found a lid to a jar that fits like a glove. The circular lid is a random piece of plastic. I recommend finding a different covering for the top of the tank. The lid on the tank is what I put that fit perfect the circle plastic is what came with the tank and I didn’t like it and got lucky and found the jar lid that fits like a glove. That would be my only issue because other thank that, this tank is perfect for my fishie, snail and myself!

One of the coolest fish tanks I've ever owned. The 2.5 gallon tank is perfect for a betta fish and a mystery snail. The light that came with the tank failed but I found a better option anyways. The mini filter than comes with the tank is great, and does a great job filtering the tank. It has adjustability for flow depending on your needs or the type of fish. All of the seals and connections of the glass are sturdy and sound, no leaks. I will say that the lid is the downside. I wish that it was a little better material, its plastic so it's easy to scratch when cleaning. Other than that, it a great option for a reasonable price.

This has been the perfect starter tank for our family. After our son earned his first pet (a betta fish) we decided on this set up. The tank made it to alaska with no issues, everything is well packaged with great instructions to get started. We loved the felt pad attached to the bottom and the black back panel. Perfect for a small tank.

This kit is amazing for the price. The tank is great quality and crystal clear. It has the absorption and balancing pad adhered to the bottom which is convenient. Super cool little filter too. I don't use carbon with my tanks so instead I filled as much biomedia in there that I could along with the cartridge filter. Very quiet and no issues with it although I do wonder if it's cycling enough water. I mounted it on the short end so I don't know if it's leaving dead pockets on the other side. This is just a planted tank currently so no biggie if so. The light is my only complaint. It runs super hot and is pretty weak overall. I don't think it's capable of providing the lighting plants need. There's so many quality lights for super cheap on Amazon so it's null. All in all this can't be beat for the price however. For any of you considering this as your startup or a gift for someone this holiday season (that's deserving of a $60 setup), do it.

Build & Design The quality of the glass is excellent. It features a dark background and comes with a leveling mat already glued to the bottom, which is a great functional detail. The kit is comprehensive, including the light, filter media, lid, and even gravel—a really nice touch that makes it truly "plug and play." There is even enough space to place plant cuttings on top of the tank. Packaging & Delivery I was initially worried about ordering a glass tank for delivery, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was packed incredibly tight and arrived perfectly intact. Verdict I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s a high-quality, sturdy little tank that punches well above its weight class. Whether you are into aquascaping or just need a solid home for a betta, this kit delivers.

Don't even hesitate. This tank is awesome! My little betta guy loves the upgrade with all the extra space. The design of the tank is sleek with nice quality glass and a cool black background. Super quiet filter with adjustable water flow. Took 5 minutes to set up. Just make sure you pour water into filter chamber to activate the flow once assembled on side of tank. Also, water level in tank should be quite high to keep filter working efficiently.

This is such a great little aquarium except of course there is very little that can be housed in it. I will be using mine as a nursery for baby/juvenile Rice Fish (Medaka). Otherwise a couple of shrimp or snails is all it will hold. The packaging was perfect, product arrived in good condition. Set up was super easy. I used a finer gravel than it came with, but did use the stones and part of the rougher gravel it came with. You can adjust the flow of water, and I can barely hear the aquarium running. I love the slightly transparent black back as it hides wires, and also makes foreground pop. Has a padded base which is great. Lid is basic, but adequate. Light seems fine, it only has one setting. Note: It does not come with a heater, but I think that’s typical for nano tanks. I really hope due to the success of this tank, they roll out a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon so we can actually house even just a few nano fish or a Betta. (This is too small for a Betta. It would have no swimming space.)

Very lovely tank. Easy to set up. Nice, quiet filter. Beautiful look and size. Love the lid with an opening to feed. Great for what we wanted it for a freshwater shrimp and guppy tank.

Amazing little tank. So happy with it! Glass is great quality and the filter was easy to setup. My betta seems very happy
