Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Perfect for a on the counter fish tank! Only thing is the lid doesn’t fit that well.

mdwho2mdwho2: I wanted to have 1) real plants, and 2) teeny fish and shrimp.
Since this filter can also be used for a 10 gallon tank, it was too much for what I wanted -- chili rasboras. The filter ended up sucking in two of the fish I just bought. I turn the flow way down (there's an almost invisible slider near the bottom), cut a foam paint brush in half length-wise, then glue-gunned it over the intake. And yes, I did some research before I did this.
Regarding the lighting -- while it's fine for gneral illumination, plants need more. So I purchased a SEAOURA Led Aquarium Full Spectrum Tank Light.
Then I wrote to the store because the light's nice, but the instructions were indecipherable. I actually rewrote them and sent them to the store. Don't know if they'll use them. Maybe I'll post them on the other review.
THEN (are you still with me here?) the top was cut open so that I could just place the light on top. It fits very nicely, and I'm happy with the result. Overall, it's a nice little tank; just needed a few tweaks.

AnaAna: I bought this tank because it was a great deal used. The seller remarks were that the tank was inspected and in like new condition and led me to believe the packaging was all that was damaged. Well I got the tank and it had scratches in the plexiglass glass that are very visible. I didn’t return it as I needed to use it asap for a rescue. I urge you to buy this product new because the quality has to be better than this, I hope. As you can see it’s not a totally bad tank. It’s nice and clear everywhere else and makes for a great beginner tank. The lid fits nicely for a tank this price so I wouldn’t really knock off stars for that. Over all my new Betta is happy so I’m that disappointed

Monica: Great beginner tank! The filter and light are easy to install and it's been fine so far. One star off because the lid is SO thin and fragile.

CJR: CONS: lid doesnt stay on quite right. its all plastic feeling. i dislike the haunting cold color of the included light. It came with a hairline crack in base from shipping. IRREGULAR SHAPE MEANS REPLACEMENT LID OPTIONS ARE LIMITED. its never reccomended to move a full or partially full aquarium, but i especially dont reccomend to do so with this tank. DOES NOT INCLUDE HEATER. The included filter is too strong for betta or shrimp, but what the hell else are you putting in a 5 gallon?

PROS: it makes only a little bit of noise. If youre bothered by mechanical buzzing like that of a fridge then you'll want to swap the included filter. tank looks good, and is a good height and width for a couple nice aquarium decorations. Included light is bright and connectors for cables all worked & fit well. The space on the lid made room for the light, filter, 2 heaters, and tubing for sponge filter.

overall: I got this on a very low sale price, and I would reccomend others ONLY do the same, or better: save up to get a good glass aquarium from your local fish store.

Derek: At first we thought it was an ok first tank for our son. When adding water into the tank it cracked along the bottom. When we emptied and tried to move the tank it broke in two pieces. Very disappointed with this purchase.
