Tetra Waterfall Globe Kit 1.8 Gallons, Aquarium With Filtration

Awesome! Worth the money 100%! I haven’t put any fish in the tank yet because it needs to cycle, but it is a FABULOUS kit! Make sure you keep the clear plastic piece. It looks like it’s meant to throw away but it’s not!! It keeps the waterfall from making any noise.The tank is beautiful and bigger than I thought at first. I really have no complaints.10/10 would recommend 👍UPDATE: after six months, the filter has a very weak flow. The tank is almost impossible to keep clean due to its odd dimensions. It was an awesome little tank in the beginning, but I learned the hard way that this is not a great tank in the long run.I just got my betta a new tank because this one was so impossibly hard to maintain.Now I’d rate it a 7/10 for a temporary tank, but for a permanent one 2/10. Unless you willing to go the extra mile to keep this sucker clean, I wouldn’t recommend

I bought this for my son's Betta and then saw a million reviews that said this tank was horrible for a Betta. I was really worried about the waterfall being too much for him. I found a solution for that though and I'll share it!Anyway..Pros:- Very easy to clean. I didn't want a tank that I couldn't clean by myself. This one is the perfect size for our fish.- Waterfall filtration works well so the tank stays clean longer.- This tank is attractive. I made a little spot for it in the kitchen and it looks awesome.- Waterfall is very quiet.Cons:- Glass seems a bit thin and that worries me because I tend to be a bit clumsy..- I would like to be able to turn off the waterfall without unplugging the unit. Instead, I unplug it during feeding time and then plug it back in when the fish is done eating. The waterfall pulls the food to the bottom of the tank if I don't.Overall, great tank. Too much current for a Betta for sure but I bought a Betta log (from Amazon also) and it floats right under the waterfall and keeps the water movement minimal. He can rest anywhere in tank and play around in the waterfall when he feels like it. He actually really loves the Betta log as well..

I decided to buy this after I saw the price and several good reviews.I have had this aquarium for a few weeks, now I can personally say my Betta has never been happier in his new home. He swims around more, instead of sitting on the leaf of one of the plants in it, like he did in his old 1 gallon bowl. I personally like the sleekness of the design. It looks great in my room. It having a single cord to power both the light and the filter is a great feature. The Instructions are in English and Spanish and very easy to read with detailed pictures. The only two replacement parts for it are the Glass bowl and the power cord. The filter is, I believe, the Tetra Whisper 3i filter. The only difference I see is that it is powered by a very quiet impeller that attaches to the bottom of the filter instead of an annoying air pump. The filter cartridges (Use the Tetra 3i filter cartridges) are suppose to last about a month each and it comes with one filter cartridge. The Waterfall is also relaxing, oxygenates the water and removes chlorine and the fishy smell. The waterfall looks just as it does in the picture, by the way. I thought it would be more of a drizzle, but I was wrong. I'll list everything out for you:CONS:-Glass bowl had some imperfections- slightly warped (But not very noticeable) lip and 2 weird air bubble-looking things I found. At first I thought it was an air bubble inside that just stuck to the side of the bowl, but it actually was just imperfections in the glass. At least the glass bowl is replaceable.- The flat bottom of the glass bowl is only about 4-5 inches in diameter- makes it harder to put some types of plants or ornaments in. you could put in more gravel, but you'll have to keep ornaments and plants toward the center- no big deal, really.-The hinge on the light hood is a little loose and wobbly. It doesn't rattle, But I wouldn't be surprised if it is the first part that brakes. Nothing a little duct-tape and super glue won't fix. The rest of the plastic parts seem sturdy, otherwise.PROS:-Sleek-Quiet- You can only hear a faint hum when you are within 3-4 feet when it is dead-silent in the room.-8 bright white LED lights give a nice "moon light" effect at night.-Soothing Waterfall that also oxygenates the water- seriously, I had 2 Aponogeton plant bulbs in my old tank for 2 weeks and they haven't even started to sprout. 2 days after I put them in this bowl, they started growing, 3 days later, they were already 3 inches tall.-Water stays crystal clear for months at a time.-Easily change filter cartridges.-Perfect for showing off exotic small fish. I wouldn't put more than 3 or 4 small fish in it, though.-glass globe magnifies things when you look through it at the right angle.-you can fill water up to the lip without worrying about the waterfall making it overflow.-I think the current of the waterfall makes the fish more active. My Betta, Finwick, was always kind of lazy in his old bowl, he would swim around sometimes, but usually just hung out on a leaf on one of the fake plants that was in it. In this bowl/aquarium (I honestly don't know whether to call this a bowl or an aquarium) he is almost always swimming around, otherwise he is hanging out on his favorite leaf.SUGGESTIONS:-If you plan on putting a Betta or any other type of fish that is use to having little or no current, Try filling up the bowl to the lip. This will keep the current coming from the waterfall low and it also looks good. Not better or worse, but good-If you find that your filter cartridge (Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridge small, 2-Pack) needs to be replaced, but you don't have any replacement cartridges on you at the moment: unplug the power cord; remove the "spent" filter cartridge; rinse it in the sink with the Cotton meshy side facing up, this will remove some of the gunk that prevents the water from flowing easily through it. The carbon bits that are in it will probably be spent so it won't remove chlorine or the fishy smell, but it is a good temporary fix that will keep large particles from floating around in the tank.. Stock up on filter cartridges to prevent this from ever needing to be done. I can only find them in packs of 2 on Amazon, but they are nice and cheap.OVERALL: I am VERY pleased with my purchase and am now a fan of Tetra products. This is definitely a well-built/designed aquarium. I definitely recommend it to anybody and everybody. I will make a review video when I have to replace the first filter cartridge.Oh and you don't have to worry about your fish being sucked into the impeller. It has a guard on it and even if it did, the water will still be crystal clear when you notice your fish is gone.Also, the sculpture in the center of my aquarium is the Marina 12205 Betta Kit Marble Sculpture.

I usually don't have the time to leave feedback, but I love this Glove Aquarium so much that I decided to share my experience with this product. As I was purchasing this aquarium I assumed having a filter and a motor, some noise would be expected, I also wasn't sure about it's lights. But I was pleasantly surprised in all levels. First of all the promo picture doesn't do it justice. In actuality the Globe it's very spacious. the size it's just perfect, it's very round and beautiful, I was able to put a few aquarium plants in it, and "nimo"(my pet fish), still had plenty of space to swim around. The aquarium stand it's made out of plastic, but it's very well made (not wobbly at all, which some times happens with plastic items). My favorite part of it is that it's so pleasantly quiet, so much that some times I forget that it;s there... I love, love, love the quietness of it. I also love that when you look at it, all you see is this little quiet beautiful mini water fall, entering the very top of the globe, it's so pretty, it makes me smile every time I pass by it. And most importantly "nimo" (my pet-fish) seems to love it too, the only thing "nimo" doesn't like it's when the globe lights are on, but that's only because his previous bowl, didn't have lights. which is fine because nimo gets plenty of window light anyway. I've taken some pictures, of the globe's open lamp, the front and left angle of the mini waterfall, and a close up of the Globe, so hopefully you could appreciate how spacey the globe is. Apologies "nimo's" picture looks weird because he was having breakfast, and kept nibbling around the little pebbles to get his food. No comments on the filter as of yet. I would 100% recommend this product!
