Great Tank, small and very modern. The back has a lot of space where the small filter goes , gives you a lot of opportunity for some DIY hidden filters and/or dosage systems. Just the hole for access to the tank is small, for both decor and netting out fish.

I love this aquarium. I purchased the 6-gallon​ version a month ago and I was going to purchase another one, but I just bit the bullet and purchased the 12-gallon. The 12-gallon is a definite hit to the pocket, but the aquarium is classy and stylish, fits perfectly with our modern contemporary decor. I think I have become addicted to aquascaping as a result; these aquariums are so much fun to design. The filter with the added extensions (I used all of them for the 12-gallon and none for the 6-gallon) seems to work beautifully. Currently, there is only one betta in my 12-gallon, but I am going to add one snail, two cory catfish, and 4 other betta friendly community fish. I have small hands and relatively long arms, the opening of the aquarium is not a problem, but aquascaping is a bit difficult for me, because of the height, as I am a bit vertically challenged. I stand on a stepstool to help me visualize my landscape. The light seems brighter in the 12-gallon compared to my 6-gallon. I created a bonsai driftwood tree using java moss, so I am waiting for it to fill-in and surround it with large rocks and few African Ferns​. I also like that the aquarium is completely covered, and the moonlight effect is a ​really nice addition; I use it to transition from day to night before shutting off the light.

I loved the look of this aquarium, and for the price I expected the world. The top is glued on, so you have a small rectangular opening in the back to place ornaments, gravel, plants, and fish. Lord help you if you have to net a fish in a decorated tank! I returned mine and traded it for a few Chi and Edge tanks...not as large, but I love them.
