Aquarius Aq12500 Aquawave 2-1/2-Gallon Aquarium Kit

It's a beautiful tank and Floyd, my betta, is very happy. However, there are several things that could have made it a beautiful and excellent tank rather than just beautiful but only average as far as function goes. Firstly, the feeding hole is tiny and hard to use with just one betta. If the tank were divided I think that the feeding hole would be useless. I found it easier to just lift the top to feed....kind of annoying. Secondly, if you do decide to use the enclosed divider, besides the useless feeding hole, you would need to heat (and filter if desired) each side separately as the divider is very solid. Thirdly, the white leds are much dimmer than in my other nano tanks. I do like the punch out on the lid so that my filter and heater cords fit even with the top closed. The flat back is also very useful. So, even though I like the tank I can't give it better than a 3 star rating.

Great size for Betta, I didn't install the air pump as it is not needed for Betta. He is very happy making bubbles, exercising, resting on the leaves. Lights are beautiful. The aquarium fits perfectly on my kitchen counter next to the outlet, so I don't have any ugly cords hanging out. It is very narrow so it doesn't obstruct the counter but the viewing surface is big with beautiful waves and my Betta is always watching me while I cook and clean. Much beter than the standard betta bowls or tiny tanks.

This tank is exactly what Harry (Inspector Callan, that is) and I needed. He came from a 1 1/2 Gal. tank and he is extatic!! The light is so bad ass, I don't think it needs mentioning...But damn it's neat!

The tanks is nice but the feeding hole could be bigger. The flakes get stuck and won't fall through so you have to lift the cover. I bought this for my 9 yr old son but won't let him feed the fish for fear that when he removes the lighted cover he might accidently drop it onto the water and electrocute himself. The tank size is nice and it has a large viewing area. It doesn't take up much counter space at all and the lighting is very vibrant. The filter is very loud though. Overall looks great but with a few tweaks it could have been perfect.

Under gravel filter? More like a black slightly raised floor with a pump blowing air through an air stone (though my air stone was missing). It would never work for anything other than a betta. That being said, my betta is swimming around his big new space quite happily. The front warps the view of the fish a little bit, but I don't mind it. The blue LED light is a nice addition and really brings out the color in my guy. I've had it a week and so far, so good, though I can't imagine ever finding a replacement when the light fails. But for a cheap tank with a funky touch, it's fine.
