I have 3 of these tanks. One 9 and two 15 gallon. I am surprised to see the negative reviews. I find them to be very quiet. The only thing I hear is my whisper air pump. My plants grow like crazy with the lights and Excel liquid CO2 additive, along with weekly fertilizer. I have to trim the jungle every couple of weeks. My favorite thing is with the flex glass there appear to be more fish when viewing at certain angles and I love that all the mechanics are hidden. The tanks a great addition to any room. Originally I had two 20 gallon tanks that I retired because I wanted a closed system with a snug lid and not all the constant visible white crud around the rim. The flex has the shaded area around the top edge to hide any grime until you have time to brush it clean. I’m online now to purchase another one while on sale and thought I would comment. Hope this helps.

I got this tank to be a hospital tank for fish who are sick or stressed and to be a refuge for them. This is a much better place than the main tank.

Yes, I recommend this product.

We are big fans of this tank. We used to have a 180g reef tank and got out of the hobby. We have bought 3 of these tanks (2- 9 gallons and 1- 15 gallon). These tanks are not loud if you keep the water level up as high as it should be. The pumps on all 3 of my tanks have been fine. Only con is we wish they came with heaters. Especially since they you can't always find the small fluval heaters locally. They are fully capable of growing live plants and of course will will grow algae in abundance if you leave the lights on high levels for long hours so research how long you should light your tank and add an air stone for oxygen and flow.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I set my tank up 2 months ago and the water would not clear. Used chemicals but still not clear. Algae would not go away. Filter stopped working. Unacceptable on a new tank! Threw that money down the drain.

No, I do not recommend this product.

The tank just leaked 9 gallons of water all over my kitchen. It is 3 months old, purchased from Petco. They only stand behind it for 30 days. Really disappointing.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Don't waste your money..aquarium looks great but pump did not even work right out the box. All my fish died. I heard alot on reviews about the pump but still went to buy it. If you buy this you might want to make sure it is about half this listed price because that's all it's worth.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I love the way it looks and the seperate area for your filter and heater. I just wish it came with the heater. I can't find one in store or at least the fluval heater and online it doesn't give me the option to buy it and have it delivered. I guess I'll have to settle for a different brand i know it's not a big deal just like to have things match when I can.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Does this tank tend to have a problem with leaking,and is it hard to clean out the filter compartment?

1 year ago
It is not difficult to clean and I see no signs of a leak. I have a 200 gallon tank that had to be resealed after springing a leak so I know what to look for and this little tank is very high quality. I use it for a gourami that hates everyone and everything besides his plant, so I had to remove him from my large tank and he’s been far less stressed and happy alone in this tank.

With this tank to do you want to use both the filters the biomax and the carbon one?

2 years ago
Yes! I've found that my water has never gotten the slightest bit hazy using both, it's a great system. I tend to just rinse off the black media filter though.

Can this be used for a beta fish or is the filter too strong?

2 years ago
It IS too strong as is, but you can modify it by putting sponges in the open spaces in the back to slow the flow, and the output nozzles can be manipulated towards the back. If you cycle your tank before you get the fish, which is recommended (find a reputable betta group for info, not a pet store employee) then that will help as the break in period helps with the flow as well.

Is it a glass or acrylic tank ?

2 years ago
Ir is a quality bowed top to bottom. I have both and the glass is a bit thicker on the 15, but the 9 is great just less glass, quantity only, never sacrifice for standard!

If the filter cartridge reusable or does it require replacement cartridges?

2 years ago
There is no "filter cartridge" for this setup its not an AIO printer. You need to physically add the bagged ceramic on bottom and carbon or just a nice piece of highly porous volcanic rock. They work amazing for so much bb can grow. I even put one in compartment 1, just for more bb! That keeps your tank "stable" which along with stable temp is all you need. Check your water weekly or bi-weekly, but check it else you have no idea what's in the water!
