1 week of tank use: First- this is NOT 3 gallons, it's 2. The box says 3 gallons, but it's not.
Additional Equiptment Needed: Replacement filter cartridges are $10 for a 3 pack sold on Amazon TOM TM1277 Aquarium Filter Cartridge 3 pack fits Rapids Power Filter PF-80. The manual suggests you replace them every 2-4 weeks depending on fish population and it only comes with one. So you should order extra along with a heater. I purchased the Elite Submersible Preset Heater Mini, 25-Watt for appx $15 from Amazon. Fits well with the lid cutouts, it has adjustable temperature and seems to maintain a stable temp. I bought a $3 thermometer at local pet store to gauge this.
The instructions are not great, especially as this is my 1st tank. The filter came with seperate instructions from the tank and they conflict with eachother. Once I set them aside and used common sense, it was fairly simple.
Be prepared for the massive and unsightly plugs. I placed the tank on the kitchen counter and stuffed all the chords and plugs behind the fridge using a power strip. Have a good place in mind to put this where you can hide all that unless that sort of thing doesnt bother you.
Also, I agree with another reviewer about the filter just awkwardly hanging at a tilt off the tank, as if it doesnt belong there. The lid cutouts give you the option to the hang it on the back or the side. I hung it on the back and you cannot tell.
Having said all that, let me say that it is a beautiful little tank! This was an upgrade for my betta, I foolishly had him in a 2 gallon bowl prior with no heater and he was not doing so well. He is much more active and interactive. So I do have some gripes, but for the price this really is a great set up.
The lid keeps the cat out of the water. It is truly lovely and a pleasure to sit & watch. I have been planning for a 150 gal saltwater tank in the next 2-3 years and this is a fun way to get started in the hobby for very little money.

I ordered this tank for my Betta fish after reading up on what type of conditions Betta fish need to thrive. It's very beautiful and easy to set up and clean. It does not come with a heater, however, so I had to order that extra. Betta's prefer water that's in the 75-80 degree range, so a heater and a thermometer are necessities! The light is gorgeous and really sets off the room.

This thing is JUNK - not a boat either......
A "junk" in China is a small boat,which might be of good quality or maybe not. The term "junk" in the USA means low quality or garbage. This is "JUNK" USA style. Read more
