I just got one for 35 on Mercari and I’m planning to get a betta :)

[BluenoserJo]

I have one of these for my betta and I love it. The only con is the light is no good for growing plants. I had to buy a light. Water changes are a breeze.

Thank you for the video....I have had this tank for a few years and the white part is now completely covered in green/dark algae that is hard to get off with a sponge meant for glass. Has anyone found a tool to get the algae off of the white plastic?

[storybirdartist]

This is perfect for a betta, weak flow is important and comfortable for them. I have a snail and adding a few sponges can also help with filtering and cleaning!

[ansleighjohnson]

Does anyone have this tank and keep cherry shrimp in it? I saw some people said to put some in to help keep the back clean but im worried they are not gonna survive getting back there

[kaelendra]

Lol looking at it as an upgrade for my betta and dwarf frogs... low flow is a plus with those I find.

[sugar-sammich]

Thanks for this! I just found one of these on facebook marketplace for 45$ and now I'm psyched to get it!

This is the same tank ad the Top Fin Dazzle. I am going to try to grow some super easy plants with it.

I bought two in order to replace my 3 gallon beta tanks. The back chamber area is really nice and give you a lot of options for filtration and a heater.

Thank you - that plastic bottom sealed a no for me . I know at some point it could break .

[chrisreickman]

P.S. if you look on ebay, they are the small black and blue submersible pumps with speed adjust . I ordered two so I would have a spare.

[chrisreickman]

I just ordered two small pumps, 70 gph, on ebay. $7. Ea.. they are adjustable flow rate with the proper dimensions to slide into the back of the tank. Let you know once they arrive. Looks to be an easy swap though.

[chrisreickman]

P.S. On sale today at Petsmart for $21....

[michaelallidap]

Please help I keep over thinking mine is loud. Can I adjust water flow or anything please show how to adjust the flow

[crbrus]

any chance you could tell me where to find that Roman/Greek decoration you got cant find one like that anywhere for some reason

[chrisreickman]

Thanks for mentioning the weak flow rate....really weak! can't even see particles get drawn in the inlet slits. Did you find a stronger replacement?

[haikmelkonyan]

Hey I have this same tank but it makes a deep humming noise. Is that how it’s supposed to be? What can I do to reduce the noise? Thank you

[annasolomon]

So I have a 10g top fin tank that is pretty similar but is all glass at the bottom, it’s tall rather than wide, and has different lighting options. It has slots in the back for a heater and other compartments like your tank. We were thinking of turning it into a saltwater tank with one or two small damsels. Do you think that would be possible in this tank if we put in a media basket?

[polisetty]

My filet cartridge stays clean while the tank gets dirty. What can I do

[bonsai]

My aquarium is foggy i just got it today do i have to wait 24 hours i have real plants in it would that change anything???

[Scottmp]

Did you ever find a better return pump? I just purchased one for my son on Xmas and there’s a bit of film that collects on top from lack of movement. Would love to know any possible options. Thanks
