Aqueon Aquarium Fish Tank Starter Kit with LED Lighting 10 Gallon Fish Tank

Excessive silicone in the inside corners of the aquarium as others have mentioned? Yes. But the plants hide them nicely. And at least I know the tank is sealed. I love this aquarium. EASY set up, even for this septuagenarian. The pump and filter are super quiet. The fish are healthy and love it. The water conditioner sample that came with it created healthy tap water. The fish love the sample food packet. I haven’t needed to use the water clarity sample package yet. It’s sleek, beautiful, easy to feed or add water when needed, but… the LED light lid is awkward and cannot easily set it up and stay when you need to lift it to access the tank. It can be done, just takes 3-4 tries. They could have done better with that. Oh… and the b&w instruction packet doesn’t help in all areas and is confusing in places. Use the slick paper color booklet. It’s much more thorough and easier to understand.PS- I learned the pump gets noisy only if you have the water level too high. It needs to be just below the front filter or you’ll overwork the filter

We bought this when we needed to upgrade the tank on a carnival goldfish - you know the ones that either live for five seconds or twenty five years. Said goldfish arrived unannounced after an afternoon with the grandparents. Anyway, after looking in store, we were put off by the cost because we could not find a tank that had a powerful enough filter that was also in the size we were wanting. We found this one and took a chance, because shipping a glass tank seemed sketchy, but it turned out great! The tank and box both arrived in good condition, the seams on the tank are well sealed, the top fits nicely, and all in all we were pleased with the quality and look. It is a true 10 gallon, so now concerns there, and the filter has done a great job of keeping the water clear, clean, and safe for the fish. The heater is a nice addition and an often overlooked item for fresh water fish, so having it included was a bonus, although, its suction cups don't hold super well. We have had to re-set it once since we bought it just over a month ago. The filter can sound buzzy if you don't have the filter latched on just right, but it is as simple as a gentle tap. As you can see, it fit the large bubbler ship nicely, with enough room for some low artificial plants and seashells. We opted for the sand (which needed rinsed MANY times) and it hasn't been an issue at all for the filter or the sand, meaning the filter doesn't seemed overly worked by the organic material and the water output doesn't disturb the sand. Solid buy for us.

This is a great starter tank for a handful of fish but we found out we like fish a little more than my five year old originally realized and we simply out grew it, we originally thought it was a 20 gallon also. Everything was easy to assemble!

The filter is quiet and tank is spacious! My beta fish and his 3 corydora tank mates have a lot of room to move around. I was nervous at first with the filter and my fish accidentally getting stuck in it, but they have never had an issue with it. I appreciated the inclusion of the water heater and it works great. Never had a problem with the water temp. My only problem was how bright the LED light were. The moment I turned on the LED lights, my fish would freak out with how bright it was. I put leaves on top of the water to block out the light and create shaded corners, but they would still freak out the moment I turned on the light. In the end, I taped green color tape on all the LED lights at the bottom of the lid. Once I did that, I noticed my fish weren't freaking out when I turned on the light and seemed more at easy. I do wish there was an option to dim the lights or perhaps put the lights to a different color. Everything else is good!

My kit arrived with the aquarium glass broken in multiple places. Amazon refunded me the entire amount which allowed me to buy the tank locally. I used the remaining parts that were not broken and have a nice tank set up (10 gallon). If you have kids or are just looking to set up your first tank, this is the way to go. It also came with water conditioner, which was really helpful because I could get everything set up and condition the water right away to add creatures relatively quickly. The LED lights are built into the lid and the filter system and heater column are all there too. Definitely pay attention to the directions for submerging the heater for 30 minutes before turning on, and rinsing the charcoal filter, etc. We followed the directions to a "t" and didn't have a single issue once we bought the glass tank local. Definitely worth the money to get the inclusive kit, so you don't have to guess and piece together. It would have cost a lot more if buying pieces separately.Thank you Amazon for the refund due to broken glass - as a long time Prime member who orders things weekly, this was a great nice-to-have from a big corporation. Did not go unappreciated.

This is the first week with new tank. The heater that came with the tank would consistently turn off/on depending on if you moved the cord or just looked at it. So we threw that away. Luckily we had a heater from our last tank. There is A LOT of glue all over the tank. It is not the prettiest. I will say that so far the pump is quiet and I did not have any leaks. I wish that the cover would be easier to open and not just one giant piece of plastic when I need to get into it. I also wish it had more light options. For a beginner tank, there should be options for light for different fish, especially for the kiddos to see/use. I ended up buying an additional light since we had glo fish. All in all it really isn’t a great beginner tank. Broken pieces and too simplistic lighting. I'd rather spend a little more money and get something better.

Great little aquarium! I bought it for my red claw crab Bean and he's thriving in it. I don't know if the pump works or not because I don't use it with Bean. The LED light also works well.

Perfect size great glass and the kit has everything you need!
