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

The media could not be loaded. Great tank! We started with a rounded 3 gallon and soon after upgraded to this. The fish seem to like this shape more! Perfect size for a few fish to have a nice home, we currently have two tetras, a corydora, small tetra, and a bottom feeder. Could probably get 1-2 more but their all very happy at this number. Filter works great and the whole system is easy to care for. Not loud and just a sweet little water sound, like a mini fountain. Great for kids, or adults that want to get into fish tanks.

This product has been great for me! The filter works, and the tank has never leaked. The light works. The filter is quiet as long as you keep the water level in the tank high. It was easy for me to set up. Worked great for my small school of tetras in a college dorm (where 10 gal is the maximum size allowed). I actually broke mine (completely my own fault, but it did survive moving in and out of the dorm several times before that, so pretty sturdy), and bought an identical tank because I am happy with it. The set up worked so well I managed to accidentally have two batches of tetra babies.

Great starter kit

Overall, this is a very nice tank. The pros: (1) well made. I like the lights built in to the lid. The lights are adequate for my low tech plants. (2) There is a little hatch so you can feed your fish. (3) It has all the necessary cut outs for tubing, cords, etc.The cons: (1) the filter flow is way to strong, and there is no adjustment on the filter to slow it. My tiny fish were blowing around like popcorn. High flow stresses out many fish. I ended up removing the filter and replacing it with 2 sponge filters on either side of the tank, which solved the issue. (2) I replaced the heater with a better quality one I had on hand. The kit heater was very inconsistent. After 24 hrs, it was fluctuating 2-3 degrees.Eith the exception of the heater, I am very happy with looks and functions of this tank.

Came packaged very well. Complete kit with everything you need to get started. Just add decorations, gravel, water and fish!

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.

The media could not be loaded. My 6yo got sea monkeys for Christmas and I got weirded out so I told her she could get some fish instead. I had a goldfish in a tiny bowl when I was a kid so I figured that’s what I would do for her. Times have changed. I visited Petco and they said I had to get a tank and set it up over about 2-3wks before I could get fish. I didn’t believe them and thought they’re stuff was way too expensive, so I bought this bundle on Amazon for $99 and headed to my local fish store. Setup was super easy and our Harlequin raspboras are very happy. The kit comes with conditioner and food, but we only use the food because they seem to like it. I got the water conditioner, stabilizer, decorations and gravel from the fish store because I didn’t feel comfortable ordering that stuff online. It is a process, so I’m glad that I got professional help. They helped me out with initial water setup and then adding the fish, but it only took 48hrs to setup, vs. Petco’s 2-3wks which is ridiculous. Make sure you either get help from professionals or do your research when buying fish. Not all species do well with startup tanks and you do have to cycle the water before adding any additional fish so it’s not toxic, but the bundle itself was a great start.
