Seems LED improvements have been made!!
I purchased this aquarium through Amazon about 6 weeks ago and so far, so good! If anything goes downhill I'll update this review. The first thing I noticed was the lid on mine is a good bit different from the photo and that also includes the LEDs in it. So it looks to me as if I got a newer lid than those people here who have had the LEDs go out on them. My on/off button is on the opposite side from the above photo. The LEDs are well enclosed behind a clear plastic shield and I have yet to experience any condensation on the LED side of this clear plastic cover. Also, the ad above says the LEDs in this tank are bright white/blue/white-blue. My LEDs are bright white/blue/red/green and variants allowed by those colors. When I have it set to dim between color changes, I also see yellows, violets, etc. I also purchased a 25-watt heater for the tank. This tank lid has a perfectly sized cut-out to remove for a heater. It also has a cut-out to enable use of a larger filter. The filter that comes with the tank fits nicely under the hood, If you use the tank with no added heater (or maybe a bottom-styled heater where you just need to run its cord under the edge of the lid) you would have no problem with escaping residents!!! I've not had fish in many years (used to have 50-gallon tanks) and this tank is more of an effort to give my fat cat some pets of her own to be interested in!! LOL!!! At this point in time, I am very happy with this little 5-gallon set up and would definitely buy it again provided the lid is constructed as this one is over the LEDs!! Quite happy!
