AquaView 360 Aquarium Kit - 3 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this little kit for my crown-tail betta Zurich. I think it's a fantastic little tank if you stock it correctly and know how to work with nano systems.

Granted for most if not all suitable fish you will need a heater, as the tank design causes anything on the rear wall to be magnified I opted for a small 7.5 watt under gravel heater, it works like a charm and my fish stays nice and happy.
Hydor MINI HEATER Aquarium Heater 7.5 Watts for Tanks 2-5 gal

I use this tank for a planted set up and could only be happier if it came with a small internal filter rather then the UGF, but whatcha gonna do? It's not a big deal to me since I'm familiar with them from previous years of fish keeping. I've posted a picture with more information on my setup in the photo section as well.

It's been running for 3 weeks and so far I have not had any issues with bacterial blooms (cloudy water) or regular cleaning and water changes. If you have any questions feel free to comment, I'll be happy to answer =)

Mini Bow Desktop Kit Aquarium - 2.5 gallon - Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After the most recent demise of my last Betta- Hot Temper, who bless his heart, lived 2 years in a 1 gallon fish bowl, I found myself in a fish store (not so soon after, I did mourn the little guy). Wandering about I could not deny my instant love for a feisty beautiful little guy the size of a small drapery tassel, I brought him home (instant gratification and instant love is my middle name)...and proceeded to give him 'Hot Temper's' life all over again (yes...in a bowl), but this time I thought he might benefit from living at work with me (I work all the time)...fast forward to cute little fish, living on my desk, and between calls me looking up just what might make him happy (er)...I come to a sudden realization that I sucked as a fish mom(formerly) and needed to give the little guy what he truly deserved, more oxygen, more "toys", more room and heat.I bought this little aquarium wonder (w/a black top),bye bye bowl, and wow have I got one happy fish!This tank is an easy set up,the filter (that worried me sick) is great, it will not swallow or eat your Betta (as far as I can tell so far...thank goodness!),he is not struggling through any major currents and as far as I can tell, he is a happy camper (or show off). I purchased a small heater to keep his temp at what is most conducive to his normal habitat,my Betta is making bubbles nests, and showing off like a full finned champ. I always thought I had a happy Betta, until now, this fish is unbelievably active and showy.I know it's a fish, but he sure reminds me of a puppy with fins!I love this little tank, perfect on a desk top, easy to set up, perfect for a Betta (just buy a heater, plants, gravel and hiding nook and you're set!) Love this!!

Marineland Eclipse Acrylic Aquarium System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great starter aquarium.Order a book or two about having fish when you order the aquarium too and wait a week before getting fish.

In years past you'd have all sorts of work with the filters and such.With the bio-wheel that comes with this tank your only work is to occasionally replace the "physical filter" and do a partial water change.That's it!The tank also comes with a beautiful light that'll really make your fish shine.

You will need some gravel too and some plants and maybe a stone or two for the fish to hide behind.The gravel and such are best picked up at your local pet store. Start out with plastic plants rather than live plants; you'll have plenty to do anyway.

In my experience things are easier if you have a heater too.The fish likes the water temperature to be constant.I've been using a 150w heater with good success in this tank.

Let the tank run with the heater for a day or two to get the temperature stable.When you add your first fish, start out with just a few small fish (actually, in a 12 gallon tank you should always only have small fish, little tetras and such -- don't worry, they are beautiful) to get the bio-wheel going. Your books will explain it, but it takes some time for the biological processes to get going in the tank and keep things in balance, so the water can get poisonous quickly for your fish if you add too many.(Get a packet of test strips to test the water quality daily -- it's just when you get started, later the bio-wheel will keep things steady unless you keep too many fish in the tank).

I can also recommend getting another tank, maybe a 3 gallon tank, to keep new fish in before they go in the main tank.(Of course that only works if you keep small fish, with bigger fish the 12 gallon tank would be your quarantine tank...):-)

Good luck!

Water Wonders - 1.5 gal. Aquarium Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice set up.It comes with almost everything you need.Plants, light, filter, aeration, and sample water treatment and fish food.

The plants are nice. Good color, good quality.The Light are LEDs so they won't burn out.The filter is ok.It works for this small of a tank but the tank still needs to be cleaned often.(get one of those small siphons and clean out the gravel). And the air pump is quiet as long as it's on a flat surface and not touching anything.(although mine died after about two years but the pumps are easy to find and replace)

This tank is good for a single beta, or three Neon Tetras or Danios (leopard or zebra) the Beta and Danios are all very hearty fish and are easy to take care of. The Neon Tetras are a bit more picky and are more sensitive to their environment. Keep in mind the Neons and Danios are schooling fish and best kept in groups of three or more (usually in odd numbers) but I wouldn't put more than three in this tank.Also you can usually find "ghost shrimp" in pet stores that are fun to watch and help keep the tank clean (but you need to watch out for the little buggers when you siphon the tank) I wouldn't put more than one in the tank.

If you are a first-time fish owner here's a list of additional things to buy for this tank.
Gravel-just a small bag you can find at Walmart or any pet store, any color you wish.
Fish food-this comes with a small sample of fish food but it won't last you too long.
Small siphon- makes it much much easier to clean your tank with less stress for your fish.
Stress coat-helps protect the fish's natural coat and keep them safe after water changes or introduction to a new environment.Also removes chlorine from the water.
Small cave or other hide hole- gives the fish a place to hide to reduce stress. (highly suggested but not necessary)

If your beta goes `missing' don't panic, he's probably in hiding in the filter.Mine didn't do that until later in his life.He was just getting old I think.But it scared me when I couldn't find him.

This is also nice as a quarantine tank for sick fish.The tank won't discolor with the treatments but the airline tubing will (as any soft airline tubing would.They are easy to find and replace if you are picky about it)

Over all this is a nice tank.I like the simple look and the small compartment is nice to put the extra filters into.You only need a few things to get this up and running and it displays your fish well.
