Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Nice sleek design. Lots of room in the back for a heater, bubbler, etc. (I even managed to fit a sponge filter seeded with bacteria from a well established older aquarium in the back to speed up the cycling process (from Angels Plus) The lights are nice. 15 different colors plus a white light with a dimmer switch for all lights. The night time setting is pretty and will make glofish products glow nicely. The lightning setting is novel but I can't see leaving that on much. It just flashes white light like lightning. Kids may like it though. My favorite is the button that cycles through all the colors slowly. I recommend getting a 3D background for this tank before you set it up. The background is black and not all fish look that good against a plain black background. Especially dark colored fish. We got The Underwater Treasures 3D vine background and I could not be happier with it. (Easy to cut to fit this tank and looks fantastic) Only problem we had was that some of our tetras fit through the slits in the intake vents and ended up in the back filter part of the tank. It was pretty hard to get those buggers out of there. Once they were out I put some sponge material over the vents and that seems to have solved the problem. (The sponge fits into the square for the vent that we cut through the background and the background keeps the sponge in place over the vent. I'm not sure how you would solve this issue without a 3D background.) Overall I love this tank and couldn't be happier with it Update 2/23/18 Ive had this tank for almost a year now and I still love it. The only problem I had was about 2 months ago the pump got really slow so the water was barely moving through the filter. I took the pump out, took it apart and cleaned the small sponge around the intake inside the pump (not the big square filter sponge in the back but the tiny one inside the pump itself) and it fixed the problem. (Is it in the directions somewhere to periodically clean the pump itself out? because I completely missed that) anyway...everything is back to normal now. I still highly recommend this tank...Just remember to clean the little tiny sponge inside the pump from time to time.
