Love the touch light. I like how they are not attached to the lid. So you always have light when cleaning the tank. The filter is surprisingly quiet.

The media could not be loaded. Quick set up, had to reduce water level so that more bubbles were created with the waterfall filter system. Nice tank and built in led's

UPDATE: So as I was waiting for the Stingray to arrive I visited a local aquatics shop and had a good discussion with the owner. He advised the stingray was too powerful for that size tank and the included filter was fine but to change the media in there. So I threw out the included carbon pad , bought a large mesh pad and cut it to size and also added bionood media , this is what really helps the beneficial bacteria to grow and help the tank go through the nitrogen cycle. So I have two stage filtration which is fine and doesn’t need changing monthly. The stingray was returned. Having done so all has been fine and the noise from the filter is less. The overflowing was due to the carbon pad just being a bit rubbish. Note: the tank should be filled so that it’s just over the filter spout, this allows a small wave to be created across the top causing water agitation which is good for the fish (oxygen wise) and prevents any growth on the top of the water.I have 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows in there swimming happily. My 10yo is very happy and has enjoyed the early days of learning about fish keeping as have I.I think a big tank will be on the way within the year for the living room !UPDATE: Had it 9 days - Saw other pics of this and realised I had not clipped the filter on to the lid - did so and lid now sits flush. Will be getting fish next week but am replacing the filter as am not convinced by it - it has become a little noisier and started seeping over the filter pad despite turning it off and letting it settle plus it is just using one pad so it's not 4 stage filtration- the refills have a green pad and white pad, when I enquired with the seller they said I only need the one for this but if you look at other models of this filter, they have more than one. I don't agree on having to buy a refill with a wasted pad - am getting a Stingray 5 instead and will be contacting seller to issue some sort of refund. The tank is lovely though.Arrived two days earlier than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Very well packaged.10yo birthday in a few weeks, wanted to have it setup ready for fish on the day.Size is just right for both child and the bedside chest of drawers, I just hope they're strong enough to keep holding it!Not sure if I've put the lid on correctly and whether the pump should clip onto the lid or tank, as I have done. Seems fine though.Pump has a low hum that doesn't seem to bother sleep.Looking forward to introducing fish and will update the review then.The gravel and ornaments were from a store. They really suit the tank.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I thought in this case it would be good to. The tank itself is great, perfect size for kids, bigger than those starter tanks you see which makes them more stable but small enough for the corner of a bedroom. First problem is the filter. Pretty basic. Comes with one white filter pad and charcoal combo. I left these in but added ceramic cores to the large void in the back of the filter. No problems so far with that and all the fish have been very happy. The main problem seems to be with the lighting. On day one my daughter struggled to get the lights to turn on or off. I’ve had a bit of a tinker with it and just looks like poor electronics to me. Still working at the minute after two weeks but pretty unreliable as to whether these will hold out for long. Overall I would say this is a good product but needs a bit of extra work to make it a proper setup. And as for the lights, we will see.

Really nice small fishtank. Comes with led lights and filter low noise and looks really good just need to buy your own heater.

Nice looking tank but got it half filled and noticed it was leaking at the bottom so cant be sealed very well. Gutted, was for my son to have his own shrimp tank.

This is a lovely tank, I keep a Betta fish and many live plants, it is 6 gallon so not suitable for lots of fish, but ideal for a shrimp tank or for a Betta fish. Great lighting and filter is not to noisy to keep it in the bedroom.
