hygger Horizon 8 Gallon LED Glass Aquarium Kit for Starters with 7W Power Filter Pump, 18W Colored led Light, Wide View Curved Shape Fish Tank with Undetachable 3D Rockery Background Decor

Awesome thank. Came with everything needed for getting started.Real quiet pump too.

So far we love it, it's very spacious for a shrimp colony. The waterfall spout is amazing, you can turn the flow up and down as you need as well as rotate the waterfall tube and have it point down or outwards. You can turn it as well to change where it's positioned. It was a tight fit getting the mesh and filter into the slot but it's great at keeping shrimp OUT because they like to explore EVERYWHERE. They even checked out the rock wall and forgot they're aquatic! A simple push back into the drink will suffice for this, they cannot be allowed to evolve further on land. The lights are sooo beautiful, 3 settings and multiple brightness levels. You can slide the light across the top to adjust, and set a timer with 3 timer options!

I waited to write this review for a while as I wanted to give the tank time to settle and mature biologically as I wanted it for shrimp... I cycled and matured it with one of my Betta's and he really liked sitting on the cave ledges... If this tank held 3-4 more gallons of water I would pick up 2-3 of them for Betta's, unfortunately it only holds 5-6gallons of water with the cave and substrate and stuff. I tend to keep my Betta's in a minimum of 10gallons with most being closer to 16+ gallons. It's just my own personal preference as I don't like doing water changes unless absolutely necessary lol. That said, this tank took a bit of learning as it developes algae at an alarming rate... I had massive amounts of algae the first month, that said I did have the light set at its brightest on the 12hr cycle while working on maturing the tank and I removed the carbon from the filter before setting the tank up as I feel like it cleans the water too much for shrimp and plants. At one point I even moved one of my smaller SAE's in to combat the hair algae. He wasn't happy being pulled from the 270gal tank, by himself and stuck in here with one of my slightly more aggressive Betta's but he was only in it a couple of weeks before the algae was mostly under control... It helped when I started putting hornwort and water spangles in to starve out most of the algae... The hornwort still ends up with hair algae growing all over it after about a month so I just swap that hornwort out with a clean piece from my big tank and the fish in the big tank clean off the covered one... I have found that the algae is controllable if the light is only set about half strength and the cycle on the shorter timer... I however am keeping it high for the shrimp that are now in it. I just threw in some random shrimp from other tanks to see how well they would do and they are thriving! My kids wanted a tank with shrimp of different colors mixed instead of my other tanks of all single colored shrimp. I put 10 in to start and a few baby pink ramshorn snails and all have been growing like crazy and keeping the tank clean. I rarely have to supplement feed with the settings how I have them. My only complaint, and the reason why I am only rating 4stars is how fast the water evaporates because there isn't any type of glass cover. I bought a piece of plexiglass and cut it to fit on the plastic clips made to hold glass lids for aquariums and it unfortunately keeps sagging down into the water, I turn it over and it slowly does it again. Not sure if its the light or the water making it happen. I need to make a metal frame for it or order a piece of glass measured to fit instead, so for now it is topless and needs about a gallons worth of topping off each week... I really wish they would develop and sell a lid for this tank... I would definitely get one, and another tank or 2 for more shrimp as well as I really like the look of it.

I can’t decide if Inlove this or hate this tank. The 3d scaping is an awesome idea, but why the random dropoff? I would love this if it were against the back of the tank. I can’t reach my hands back underneath it. The filter doesn’t give enough circulation because the rocks are in the way, so I moved the output over, but it will still never circulate under that crevice. Toying with the idea of cutting out the 3d portion already and I haven’t even cycled it yet. This could have been a great tank if executed better.

I just set this up today and I absolutely love it so far. The background is comes with is just super convenient! The filter comes with 2 different little nozzles to put on the filter which I thought was just amazing lol. And the lights that it comes with are my absolute favorite. We actually have a bigger version on a bigger tank of ours and have ALWAYS loved this light. At first trying to figure out how to actually work the timer was a little frustrating but other then that absolutely love it! I can say the ONLY thing that I have found that is “different” or “odd” or even maybe “dislike” about this tank is that the background does make it a little hard to smooth your gravel out. Of course the tank is an odd shape in itself lol. Not impossible to reach but definitely an odd angle you have to go in from lol. But overall the money was so worth this little pack. The packaging was amazing. Nothing came broke and everything is working. Just day 1 so farUPDATE: ok so it’s been about 3ish months since I have had this tank. Ok let’s start off with the tank itself. It gets dirty FAST. And it’s a little awkward to put things in like a heater and stuff. Really not much room. (I know it’s an 8gallon so theres not much room in general.) At first I loved the idea of the rock wall but tbh I’ve grown to hate it. It’s just super bulky and hard to work around. And it builds up a lot of algae so it needs to be cleaned more. BUT it still looks pretty cool for a background lol. Now the ONE thing I absolutely HATED with this tank was the filter and it’s placement. If the rock wall didn’t completely surround the filter it would probably work a little bit better. But with putting it in the little cubby hole they made it doesn’t really filter the tank very well. The Valve to adjusts the flow of the filter is kinda touchy and I couldn’t really find a happy medium with it. I always had bubbles on the front of my tank no matter how I faced the tubes. Now that’s another part. The tubes get so dirty so fast and it messes up the flow for the filter. So I ended up taking the filter out and replacing it with a sponge filter. It takes up a little bit more room (I couldn’t fit it in the cubby) but it has filtered the tank so much better. So I now have a little cubby that my fish uses to hide. Couldn’t put the heater there because it does not heat the whole tank. Even though it’s open about half way up the heater.All in all I still like this tank. I’ve ran into a few snags here and there but honestly that to me is normal for any new tank. I wish they would’ve just had the tank and lights and I wish they wouldn’t have built to rock wall all the way around the filter.

The media could not be loaded. Terrible filtration. I lost many fish in this brand new tank. It clouded up in three days. I cleaned it and reset, it was cloudy in three days again. Bad air circulation. So not buy this product. It’s beautiful until the water is so cloudy you can’t see your fish. It got much worse than the video provided.
