Micky Wolford: Excellent tank, love it. The hood lights are kinda cheap though, and the decor they send with it are pretty lame. But I buy all my own decor and threw what came with it in the garage..

Erika G.: The products are all separate and thus have many separate instruction manuals, some things were written assuming you already knew about these appliances and took a bit to figure out as a beginner. Wasn’t clear on decor that came with, but overall is a great set. Eventually got everything running and ready to go

MattMatt: The media could not be loaded.  I purchased this Tetra 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit after procrastinating for about a year. My former-spouse left a 25 Gallon Tank behind with a Pletco that grew quite large over time; she didn't want the tank or pletco back so I inherited both. I finally broke down and purchased this tank and wish I had sooner. First, the Pros: The Tank itself appears to be very well made with heavy tempered glass; the Filter also appears to be very well made and cleared up the water fairly quickly after we populated the tank with 80 pounds of river-stone (after thoroughly washing) that I also purchased on Amazon; the Accessories were adequate; the Packaging was superb; and the Size was absolutely perfect for my existing Table. Now, the Cons: The LED Light stays on for about 15 seconds then cycles off then back on (we've tried everything to correct this but it appears to be a systemic issue from what I've read in the reviews); the Hood comes in 2 pieces side-by-side and is a bit on the Cheap side (lightweight molded plastic with no hinge); and the Kit is Over-Priced IMHO. The majority of what you see in the pics/video of the tank were purchased separately; there...

Don Draper: 10/30/22 Update

I still have this aquarium and it is doing well. The lights in the hood did fail about 6 months ago. I upgraded to an LED light bar that is better for planted tanks. I replaced the hoods with some clear acrylic. I may change the hoods to real glass at some point because the clear plastic has warped. You can run it without a hood, but you may have to top off the tank occasionally due to evaporation and you might risk having a fish jump to its death. The original heater and filter are still operating. I replaced the Tetra filter media with large blocks of filter sponge and I clean it out monthly. I would still recommend this aquarium for anyone new to the hobby. The tank and filter are both high-quality pieces and will be serviceable for many years.

Original October 2019 Review

When I first saw that this aquarium kit was going to travel over 1500 miles by ground to my house, I was worried that I would be getting a box full of broken glass. My worries were for nothing because the aquarium arrived intact and had all of listed components inside the box.

Basically you'll have about 90% of what you need to get an aquarium up and running with...
