I like the look of the tank, but it's a hassle having to clean it every week. Therefore, I purchased a 1-3 gallon water filter, but the tank was not deep enough for the pump. Now half of the pump is out of the water, which is a slight eye sore, but at least I don't have to clean the tank again (maybe). By the way, I had to purchase this item twice because the first time, the glass tank did not fit inside the white frame. The second time, the glass fit, but there were minor scratches to the glass and the white frame was dirty.
