What owners say
Beautiful desk aquarium
The tank looks fantastic on my office desk and hides the equipment very well. It is easy to enjoy, though I do have to stay on top of evaporation and regular cleaning because of the compact size.
Great starter kit for a small setup
I wanted a small aquarium that would not dominate the room, and this fit perfectly. The included filtration and lighting make setup simpler, but it is definitely best for keeping the stocking light.
Stylish and practical
This kit combines a premium look with the convenience of an all-in-one aquarium. It is not for people who want a large fish community, but for a compact planted tank it has been excellent.
