PONDON 8 Gallon Fish Tank, Glass Aquarium Tank with Thermometer, 7 LED Light Colors, Betta Fish Aquarium Starter Kit (Black)

Please read before buying! Let's start with the good... the pictures look great and it's the perfect size. Right? That's why you're reading this. That's where the good ends and the bad begins. The tank does look great; it really does but from a practical standpoint it is terrible.Here's the deal... The all in one filter system is terrible. It is not adjustable and it basically creates a toilet bowl swirl effect that is terribly unhealthy for most fish. It was stressing my tetras out and they began to die. So I thought, "Okay, I really want to make this work. I'm just going to buy a small filter or something and eliminate this all in one filter." That's when I realized what I noticed when I was setting up initially... The lid (entire top cover) does not come off. It makes doing anything with the tank a messy chore. I figured I could deal with the mess but when I wanted to change out the filter this unremovable top became a real problem. The standard/common filters won't simply hang on the back of this because the top doesn't come off. I tried a couple methods to reduce the filter flow and I was unhappy with everything I tried and I finally gave up. I also didn't want to deal with replacement filters when this one went bad since it was a unique fit for that specific tank. I realized if I didn't just move on to something else this tank was just going to be problem after problem. I then went to the pet store and bought a more traditional 13 gallon tank with a hang on the back filter and my fish are so much happier.

The first fish tank we ordered arrived in a million shattered peices. So we returned it and bought a different tank. To our surprise when it arrived. It arrived completely in tack. But it is plastic. I think the tank is not worth the money. People pay more for glass tanks. This tank is perfect for your children's first tank. But not worth the money. Did I mention it is not worth the money. We decided to keep it because it did arrive not broken.

The tank arrived heavily damaged due to the lack of packaging. The supplier put the pump, power supply etc. loose inside the glass tank with no protection, so during the delivery the power supply got thrown against the glass side and smashed the panel. How hard would it be to box all the accessories and bubble wrap them? Thereby ensuring rough handling by the delivery service would not have become an issue.The replacement arrived after a month and is a great tank.The Aquarium looks nice and is simple to install, the temp gauge is a plus, but needs an on/off switch, as the display is bright and does not need to be on 24/7.I have ordered a replacement, hopefully, that will arrive intact.

I really like the lights with the different colors. One thing to know is this is not an all glass tank. The front is definitely plastic and I think the back is glass. Not sure about bottom. I turned it into a terrarium because I was afraid of those two materials not sealing together properly.

Decent small tank, has pump, light, thermometer.. but i ordered a heater separately for winter.It seemed very slick on the bottom so i added feet to keep the sliding potential down when the cats inevitably come to see. somewhat strong current and my betta gets frustrated chasing food but he does get it eventually
