Tetra Complete Aquarium Starter Kit with LED Lighting & Filtration System - Perfect for Home, Office & Classroom Fish Tanks

I first bought this tank two years ago. It's a fairly cheap plastic tank but it has all the essentials that you need, minus a heater for tropical fish. I had first gotten this as a quarantine tank/spare tank for any sick fish and it sat empty for the majority of those two years, but am currently using it to house a betta I got yesterday. The lights aren't the best thing in the world, and I had to tape them to the lid in order to secure the wiring, but they are decent for a kit like this. Don't use a glass-suction thermometer! I found that the plastic warped around the suction cup of the thermometer and that was permanent. I found that pretty strange, but it isn't a huge disruption enough for me to buy a brand new tank.The filter works quietly but is a bit strong for a betta so I will be working on buffering it to slow the flow. It IS adjustable and has a slider on the bottom of the filter! The filter replacements are cheap on Amazon.I like that the length is much more than the height and depth of this tank. This gives your fish lots more longitudinal swim room while also keeping it compact enough for a desktop environment (this tank sits on my desk with minimal space). I personally don't like that the curved surface kind of magnifies things inside, but I DO like how it gives you a clear and mostly unobstructed view of most of the swimming area in the tank, so it is still enjoyable to view. It isn't too obnoxiously curved to distort too much so I still think it's a 5 star tank.I've owned many glass and acrylic tanks of many shapes and sizes; Overall, I recommend this tank for someone on a budget as it's a good value for the price point.
