Aquarius AQ15002 Semi-hexagon 5-Gallon Aquarium with Hood and CFL lighting and Mini Might Internal

This has only been set up for about a week, but so far I'm pleased. I'm still cycling it so no fish yet, but hopefully it will make a great home for my new betta.

Pros:

For what you get, this is a great value!

Love the hinged lid that allows for easy water changes and other maintenance.

The "feed window" is nice so the whole hood doesn't have to be lifted (see Con#2) to simply feed the fish.

Florescent bulb makes it easier to keep live plants.

Cons:

The tank does seem to be slightly more prone to scratches; more so than the other acrylic tank I have, but nothing horrible yet. Plus I think there are scratch kits I could use if it gets bad.

I love the hinged lid, but it does seem that when I open it to add ammonia for the cycle, water that has condensed on the inside of the lid drips down the back of the tank. Hopefully this will only be an occasional challenge.

Pros:-good acrylic, i have yet to see any scratching

The dimensions are better than other hexagon tanks

-the hinged hood is great, really like the fluorescent light

Cons:-the feeling lid on the hood is kinda small, i have to lift the hood to feed my Halfmoon plakat betta blood worms or any food with a big container

-the filter that came with it sucked for my betta(too much current) no problem, i bought a new one and threw the old one away

Overall you get your bang for your buck, so i'm not gonna give it 1 star just because the feeding lid is small or because I don't like the filter

Received and set up this aquarium about a year ago. The pump is great... very quiet. The acrylic tank walls are very thin, but it seems well constructed with a black plastic frame, and there are no leaks. The acylic does tend to scratch, so need to be careful and no scrubbing with scratchy cleaning pads. The lid is a bit old fashioned & "clunky" looking, but it does have a light fixture which allows easy changing of a screw-in type of light bulb. I believe it came with an incandescent bulb, but I've changed it to a screw-in LED (not as hot... and/or you could also use a screw-in florescent.)

I got this tank at a very good price, but I see the price now is much higher, and really can't recommend it at that price. I've seen similar aquariums in 5 and 10 gallon sizes much cheaper at Wally-world (if you know what I mean.)

The first one (AND ITS REPLACEMENT) arrived with scuffs on the inside of the acrylic tank from the box of components moving back and forth on the front (inside) of the tank. The box was inside of a plastic bag but was not immobilized with Styrofoam as it should have been. After the replacement arrived with the same scuffs, I decided not to try a 3rd time. Too bad, it looked like it could have been a nice aquarium. Amazon was excellent at handling the returns as usual.
