Fluval Betta Premium Aquarium Kit, 2.6 Gallon

This is my third Fluval aquarium over the past few years. I’ve had a Fluval Flex 30 gallon saltwater and a Fluval Flex 15 gallon freshwater. I am essentially downsizing due to time and budget constraints, and this aquarium has been so easier to maintain. I’ve had it for three months, and I do a 50% water exchange weekly and follow Fluval’s recommendations for other maintenance. It only takes me 10-15 minutes a week. Not a speck of algae, and my Betta is as happy as can be. I added a 2.5 inch polystyrene foam pad under the base to help support the glass, and mine was delivered in perfect condition. Love it!

This works really well because the included pump is reasonably quiet. I replaced another aquarium that had a very loud pump, and with this new one the fish is noticeably happier and more active.The only downside is that the water seems to evaporate faster than the old one did (the lid assumes you’re going to use the included light, I don’t use the light so it leaves a big open space in the lid).

This tank leaked all over the place. It was up and running for 6 weeks and then it gave out, even though regular maintenance was done. With more investigation, we found the bottom of the tank doesn't hold up and the seal gave out. Choose a different brand.

The heater ,light , and filter work perfectly , for the quality and price it’s a no brainer , just upon opening the plastic part is a bit gentle BE REALLY CAREFUL , without water it was pretty light weight and very compact (space friendly) , looks super modern and aesthetic my betta loves it was what I wanted , assembly was straightforward and the lights are bright enough for the plants

Extremely pleased with the look of this tank. Absolutely love it! Our Betta Fish was in a bowl for a couple years. This tank is like a mansion for our fish. And, we can tell that it is enjoying the new tank by the way it swims around blissfully and take fun dives. Setup was super easy. We chose not to use the heater.

The tank is a pretty little tank, very streamline and clean. The problem for me was that the tank came broken. The lid was packaged underneath the tank. The tank is glass the lid is plastic so is the base. The lid was broken because the base was broken. The weight of the tank was sitting on the lid.

I have three of these now. I replaced the lights (~2.5W) with the Hygger Nano light (6W) that I got on sale for $15. 2 of the tanks are low tech planted with shrimp, snails, and bettas. The last one is the same, but with nano fish instead of bettas. I also gifted another two to others. None of the setups arrived damaged in any way whatsoever. None of the tanks leak. For those who are having issues with leaking tanks, stop picking them up and moving them when full. You are causing the leaks. These are silicone sealed, glass panel tanks, not molded plastic.

This is my second Fluval Beta aquarium. The first sprung a leak requiring an emergency order of a new one to keep my beta healthy and allow me to repair the original one with sealant. I really like the design. Have enough filter components to last another 6 months.I was not happy with the original springing a leak after only a year of use. But, figured it a reasonable risk to get a new tank and then try sealing the old one as something that could be swapped out should the new one fail or to expand my fish collection.I was very disappointed when i opened the new tank kit. As you can see in the pictures attached, it had many damaged components. Considering the situation I found myself in, I decided to go for it and see if the tank still had a seal. It did and it has been operational with all the old components. I will continue with my plan to seal the old tank and see if it holds and can be used again. But, I cannot rate this very high due to the condition the components showed up in a properly sealed box. I have no idea how all these things were broken. Here is the list: tank cover, tank base torn off the tank and broken with no hope of putting it back on, and top corner missing.would not buy from this seller ever again.
