Just terrible products

AquariumEnthusiast420

7 months ago
Within 6 months, both sets of LED lights in the hoods died. At 8 months, the silicone failed and it sprang a leak. I was able to successfully patch the silicone. After another 6 months, the second set of hood lights died. Aqueon customer service was super awesome- they sent replacement hoods and then ultimately refunded the amount I paid for the whole thing. I put that money toward upgrading the lights and hoods- NOT Aqueon brand. Do yourself a favor and JUST BUY A BASIC AQUARIUM AND PICK OUT DIFFERENT BRAND ACCESSORIES.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Aqueon, two thumbs down. Junk product, do not buy

Bill321

I've had it up and working for less than 3 weeks. The lights in both hoods have broken. Very shoddy. Put in an email to Aqueon about this but have very little faith they'll do anything or care at all other than quote replacements after reading several other reviews. Very frustrating.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Okay tank.

Socialwork78

Pump went out after one week. Tank itself is fine. Lid and lights are fine. I had to use my Walmart pump to actually get my water clear though. Don’t recommend the pump it comes with at all. It’s not strong enough for a new set up. Maybe for maintaining a small amount of fish if it doesn’t break. Petco was helpful and said I could exchange it with no problem.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Replacement lighting/lids over $100 (needs 2 lids)

Goatiegoat

1 year ago
I have had this aquarium for a little over a year, I think. The aquarium itself works well, as does the filter. However, this nonsense LED lighting went out fairly quickly. To make matters worse, a replacement lid is over $60 (and this tank needs 2). I would not necessarily say "Don't buy this," because it might be a good deal if on sale. However, just understand that if the lighting goes out, the cost can be over $100. I'm very disappointed about this.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Disappointing

Holly7

I bought this less than six months ago and the LED lights on one side are already out! Very disappointed for the price of this that the lights would stop working already. We have several other tanks that are a lot older than this one and have had no issues!!

I have had this for 1 year and today the center brace broke and the aquarium is severely bowing and about to bust. Flimsy thin plastic. This aquarium has had no abnormal stress or strain- this is just poor quality. Very disapposinted.

can i buy a replacement lid for a 55 gallon kit? or the LEDs?

  1. 1 year ago
    The lights on one side if mine have been out for awhile as well. The only real replacement i could find was a light bar and a clear lid that would fit the one side. I was unsuccessful in my search to buy only one half of the lid OR replace the led lights. Not convenient.
