Aquarius Aq12005g Glofish 2 Hex Shape 1.6-Gallon Aquarium Kit

I bought each of my kids one of these tanks for their bettas. They love them. They can each pick which light setting they want. I was hoping the bettas would glow more, but that has nothing to do with the tank. I also bought a small filter for the tanks to keep them cleaner. Great tank for the price.

I bought this tank January 2, 2013 for my Betta Jack. It was great for the first few weeks, then the lights weren't so bright anymore and now they're going out. I don't think this tank is worth the price being asked or what I paid for it by a long shot. I cannot find anyway of replacing the bulbs and the inside the hood is rusting. For all of this nonsense, plus there is no filter or anything special about this tank, other than the "great" LED lights, lol, I would not buy this again. I would not buy another tank like this again either.

BTW, quick note, another reviewer stated he was annoyed with the crappy filter, there is NO filter. That is a bubbler, NOT a filter.

The aquarium I received is actually 1.8gal so that's a bit of a bonus, but in all other respects it's not worth nearly the list price (I was able to purchase it on sale). The undergravel filter keeps the water clean, though you should use gravel or decorations from a healthy, established tank when setting this up to ensure you have the proper bacteria started. After just a week of use, I noticed that screws in the hood had already begun to rust. Also, you can't use an automatic timer to turn the light on. So far all the LED bulbs seem to work fine though I'm guessing that once they go, though I would rather have the one small standard bulb that is used on most other similar small aquariums.

All in all, it's not bad but I wouldn't recommend paying more than $20 for it, if that much.

UPDATE: About 6 months after purchasing this aquarium, all of the white LED lights went out. I feel confident saying that my level of use is not excessive I kept this tank at my desk at work so the lights were only on for about 10hrs per day, 5 days a week. Also, the air pump which came with the aquarium becomes quite noisy after several months, so I had to replace it with a more powerful, though nearly quiet one. All-in-all, I'm disappointed.

Looks nice, but you'll have to add a small filter if you don't want stinky and cloudy water. I had to add a small filter and it's okay now.

Although I received a different aquarium than I ordered this one is fine. I was not sure about the different color lights. I prefer an aquarium with lights that actually heat the water. But overall it is a good product.
