Tetra 29095 Cube Aquarium Kit, 3-Gallon

Bought this tank for a betta fish. It looks fantastic in my room and is nice and spacious for my fish. The filter it comes with is quite loud for a bedroom, so instead of using it I’m doing frequent water changes. The tank was a little bit scratched, but as there is no real “front side” you can just put the scratched sides facing a wall where they won’t be noticed. However, once the water is in the tank it’s hard to notice at all. The LED light is wonderful and really showcases off the tank. If you are getting this for your fish, just make sure that a room light is on (or just a naturally bright room) as well as the LED, as if my room is dark and only the LED is on my fish gets stressed out by his reflection. Overall, this tank is highly worth it and I would recommend to anyone! Shipping was also very fast.

This is a pretty tank. I had my beta in a 3 gal cylinder tank before, and I liked it, and I think he liked too. He's quite an active swimmer if he has the room. Betas don't like filters, so I had to clean the tank about once a month. Not just remove some of the water and freshen it with new water, I mean, take him out of the tank, rinse the rocks and wipe down the sides of the tank. The algae would grow back after 2 or 3 weeks, and after a week or two of those conditions (depending on how bad it was) I would go through the cleaning process again. It is impossible for me to find a dark spot for the tank---he is not in direct sunlight, but the room is almost more windows then wall, and full of bright natural light. Exactly what I wanted in a living room, but unfortunate for a tank with no filter. All the moving around of the tank eventually caused it to crack on the bottom, and a slow leak developed. I moved my beta into a 1.5 gallon tank while I researched tanks, and filters. When he was in the smaller sized tanks he just sat on the bottom coming up for air occasionally. This tank itself is not disturbed when you have to move it due to the base. It is 3 gallons and my fish is back to swimming around and looking happy. I like the LED lights. It illuminates the tank perfectly. I read reviews of this tank/filer and everyone said they hated the filer and that they threw it out. That actually was appealing to me because I had been thinking about getting a super weak filer to help in my battle with the algae. After hooking up the filer and the light and the heater and letting it all run for the day I added my sweet little beta baby into the tank. He is much more active then he was in the smaller tank. I did save about a gallon of his original water and some of his original gravel and décor. I am concerned about the filer and watch him almost obsessively. I don't want him to be stressed. The tank change in itself is stressful enough. I have moved an object in the path of the falling water to minimalize the current that the falling water makes. It seems to help. He doesn't seem too bothered--if at--all by it. He swims next to it, and I can see that in just the right spot he does get pushed around a little, but it doesn't stop him from going over there. He has a little nook he sits inside of. (Décor from his original tank) He looks perfectly calm and relaxed when he's in it. He's always "hung out" in there so I can't say if he goes there to get away from the current or just because he's always liked it. Most of the time he's up and swimming around, and that's what I want to see. I unplug the filer when I go to bed so that he can have relax time.

I decided to introduce a Betta sorority in my biggest tank, and had an aggressive female who attacked and killed other fish. I only had a 1 gallon to keep her in, I didn't have a money to spend on a lot of equipment, and I didn't really have room for anymore aquariums. I grabbed one of these from Amazon Warehouse at a steal, and as somewhat knowledgeable aquarium owner I wanted to give my impressions.Filter Pump Noise Level: Probably the biggest thing on everyone's mind concerning this purchase. Let me assure you it is absolutely silent with very low agitation. I have 4 different sized filter pumps and this is the most quiet, albeit smallest one. There is absolutely no friggin' way for your fish to get sucked into it, the water inlet hole is about as big as a lead pencil. It has just enough movement to circulate the water through a very small charcoal filter. You don't even so much as hear water trickling because there is very little movement. The Tetra Whisper 3i is a hang on the inside style filter, and the impeller snaps onto the bottom of the reservoir, so there are no hoses. The trick is everything needs to fit together snug and tight, you really have to force the impeller housing onto the end of the reservoir to get a good fit. There is also a clip to attach so you can hang it on the aquarium and you really have to push in tight so it's stable. I adjusted it to the tallest height setting and filled the water level to the appropriate height in my pictures. If you look at them you can see I added a piece of rubber drawer liner to the clip to act as a vibration dampener. It also says in the instruction manual that you can order suction cups if you have a problem with the clip for some reason.Design: I really like the sleek, minimalist style. It looks cool, and is a functional piece of art that is perfect for an office, or bedroom. The plastic is crystal clear, but it is plastic so there is the potential for scratches if those bother you.Features: I got exactly what I needed: a complete aquarium in a small form factor, with a quiet pump, and an LED light. You really should get a small aquarium heater and an AC light timer A) for your convenience and B) for the fish to have a consistent light schedule. A cheap $5 rotary style is all you really need. The LED light and pump are both two prong, non-grounded AC plugs.Other things you will need you may not be thinking of: Don't waste money on fake plants, real ones are cheaper and they help clear and oxygenate the water. You need a 5lb bag of aquarium substrate, extra filters, some kind of a hiding spot for your fish, liquid aquarium bacteria, water dechlorinator, and a gravel vacuum. You really should give your aquarium time to properly cycle and clarify before adding a fish, but I didn't really have a choice this time so I used plant clippings, rocks, and decorations from other tanks and lots of bacteria starter. You need to do a 25% water change every week and check your filters frequently.

As said in the headline, great tank very impressed for price. Filter it comes with, just toss it in the garbage or give it to a friend as a backup, it will not do the job at all. The water surface agitation non existent. Have my betta in here and high power filters are not recommended for bettas, however, there is high power then non existent. I am using a nano submersible filter I had laying around, also, no water heater included, YES bettas need a water heater unless you house is consistently 82-84 degrees you need a water heater for a betta. Value for your money is amazing truly the plastic rather than class aquarium keeps it light weight. The light iy comes with was no good for plants and was a cold kelvin rating and I like black water natural setups and the light did not do justice, so I am using plant grow lights instead.
