Awesome lil tank. Beatiful really. My only issue is how to remove the filter sponges... they are impossible to get with my fingers being the narrow space and even a long pair of tongs doesn't seem to get a grasp on it.

Like title said. Not a complete kit. But 4/5 for the tank itself.

The tank is very clear and it was a great upgrade from my 5gallon Marineland portrait aquarium. The filter doesn’t seem too strong and it is a good setup for a larger betta tank. I would recommend getting a lid for it in case you have jumpers, I had to make my own with plexiglas glass. It also works great as a shrimp tank, there’s lots of room in the back for a heater if needed.

Nope! Didn’t even get it fully out of the box, and the back filter section was obviously not what I wanted or expected. I ordered the 2.65 gallon AIO aquarium for a pico reef tank, and I was expecting there to be a full false back panel with multiple filter sections. If you look, there are 8 photos of the tank shown in the Amazon listing. Look closely and you can see that photos 1, 6, 7 and 8 show the exact filter configuration I was expecting. Photos 2 and 3 show a different filter section that is just a corner filter (photos 4 and 5 are irrelevant here). I think this tank with the corner filter is actually their Betta tank. I really needed the full back filter, so this is a return for me.Short story, it looks like a nice little tank, and if you just have a Betta this would probably be a great option. If you need anything more advanced than that I wouldn’t recommend this 2.65 gallon AIO aquarium.Edit: After a little more research, it looks like the Lifegard 1.2 gallon and their 2.65 gallon tanks have only the small corner filter section. The Lifegard 4.1 gallon and larger all have the full back panel filter section. I don't think it's right that on Amazon multiple versions of the tank are sold under the same listing.

Tank is very well crafted but i bought the 2.6 gallon one and it did not come with a pad, no worries ill just go get one however the main drawback for this beautiful aquarium is the side filter, theres no room to put your filter media in, while the side filter is a nice choice for aesthetic purpose, its only use is to create water flow it doesn’t filter at all since you cant put filter media in except for the sponge that comes with it in which case you might as well just buy an aquarium and a hob filter which imo is cheaper. I am very happy with my new aquarium though since i do not need a filter because its gonna be a full planted tank only but for those buying this for other purposes like keeping shrimps, i would suggest buying fluval as those have the best filtration.Edit: i dont know what happened to the water pump but its barely pumping water anymore, i thought that it just need cleaning but it didn’t work and it actually made it worse.

La pecera venia con un detalle sin embargo el vendedor me brindo un soporte excelente, rápida respuesta y muy buena atención, quede super satisfecho, este pequeño acuario esta de maravilla, muy bonito y trae lo necesario, recomiendo ponerle una tapa ya que no la trae, por otro lado no se dejen llevar por una de las imágenes de la descripción, no trae lampara, si lo quieres adquirir es una excelente opción a comparación de otros mas costosos.

While it was easy to assemble, the filter current/flow is wayyy too strong. I had a single Betta fish put in the tank and he wasn’t able to swim without being sucked into the corner of the tank that flows water into the filter. He wasn’t able to swim properly because of this and became very stressed (based off his color). While it is a gorgeous tank it isn’t worth the price, you might as well get an empty 5 gallon tank and buy a separate filter.

Beautiful tall tank with plenty room for Beta and about 6 miniature fish, plants and a couple decorative rocks. Water stays clean as the filtering system is high quality. Great size as it fits perfectly under the kitchen counter but does not utilize too much of the counter due to its smaller width size. Would buy again for sure.

I'll keep it short, I purchased two tanks in different sizes from Lifegard, both worked out great. The glass is clean and clear - the pump is perfect, not crazy fast flow and silent - optimal for the tank size. The build-in compartment is great for hiding a heater and such. This is a good and solid tank.
