Hey Alissa. I wouldn't recommend tape as a flow reducer, as it can contain chemicals you do not want in the water. I suggest you cut a plastic water bottle in half (without the label/glue) to size of the filter. You can do a YouTube search on how to make one- I believe searching "DIY betta filter flow reducer" should recommend great videos. This method is much better, cheap, and lasts long! Where as tape will eventually lose its stick/grip, will not last as long, and contains chemicals.

I just got the same tank. The glue directly on the glass was such a stupid idea 🤦🏽‍♀️

No hate but to anyone who is wanting a betta its best to fully cycle the tank before getting the fish. This can take from 4 weeks or longer and gives good bacteria time to grow in the filter/gravel etc which will create a much healthier environment for your fish.
There is not much good bacteria in water from an established tank but as you already bought the fish its better than nothing! I would have suggested to get some bio balls or some kind of media and put it in Klauss tank for a month or so and then put it into the new tank as that would mean that the new tank is already cycled and ready to go as the bacteria is in the filter ☺️ gorgeous fish though!

My friend gave me her betta since she was moving that poor thing lived in a 0.5 gallon bowl I have since then moved him into a 50 gallon aquarium with some mystery snails and live plants I am so glad he is happier now

I just bought this exact tank on sale at petsmart for $19.99. I upgraded from a 2.5 gallon. This is a nice little tank/set up. Also, that thermoter was crazy "hot" when i put it in too but after a day it went to normal.

You don’t know how much you just helped me, I was having trouble with the filter. 😂😂

Hi, Nerite snail eggs will not hatch in freshwater, it has to be brackish water. So in theory, you could have many snails in one freshwater tank and they will not multiply. However it's a great "excuse" to buy another tank and fish so I can't argue with that, lol.

"'owners' not experienced owners but..." OK what's wrong with a top fin tank that magically makes you not a good fish owner exactly? Just because it's not as insanely expensive as a Fluval doesn't mean it's a bad tank

[famousamos]

Do you buy and replace the cartridge every few weeks or do you take it out/clean it/then put it back in?
Thanks.

I have this tank and love it! I recommend an aquarium sponge rather than a dish sponge (there are no bubbles). just put the sponge where the output goes and rubber band it on and it works fine!

I have that exact tank. I put a suction cup soap holder under the filter so it goes slower when it starts to over flow. You can put some stones and beads in the soap holder so it looks pretty. I bought my soap holder off of amazon.

For the Fluval spec, you're paying for the light and the fact that the filter is hidden. It's well worth it if you use live plants.

Hi! I love your tank setup! I’m looking into getting this exact tank and I was wondering if you’ve ever had any issues with leaking or cracking? I’ve never really had a glass tank before considering I’ve only owned acrylics. Thank you!!

[greenheart]

my brand new betta got his fins stuck in the filter on this exact tank. just so i don’t kill another fish do you think putting a sponge over the filter will work

[GlitteryGhoul]

I totally called it for Elijah’s name lol. I love the Originals

[alainesilvestre]

I already have 3 of these kits and I love them! I also got one of them for just $20 during the memorial day sale, I was so happy 😂
