Tetra Glass Aquarium 5.5 Gallons, Rectangular Fish Tank

Works well for what I got it for (Two hermit crabs). Came with a tiny bit of fish food and a guided manual, but alas, I don't intend to house fish for a while (not until I clean my office, anyways!). This came in its own box and had a lot of foam to hold the corners. It was heavy inside the box, but outside the box it was somewhat more manageable. It's just getting it out of the box that was my biggest problem, although I was trying to be quiet as a mouse doing so. It's definitely large, large enough for 6+ inches of sand-coconut substrate mix AND decor. The price was steep, and I'd have probably been better off searching for hand-me-downs, but I wanted something clean. So far, it does not leak and keeps humidity in well when coupled with a glass lid. BTW, it doesn't come with a lid - I bought my glass lid seperately. Looks clean without any marks and is very sturdy.

I managed to have this shipped all the way to Jamaica and I was concerned for it being broken along the way, but my worries were no longer when i saw how undamaged the box was and how well they packed the tank to absorb anything that could damage it. I'm currently setting up my first aquarium for a betta fish and i have no regrets choosing this. The plastic rims seem a bit cheap but I'm only concerned about looks because I'm not a fan of rimless tanks. By the looks of it, it seems well siliconed but I'll be sure when i do a leak test. Otherwise, this tank looks pretty good and I'll recommend for at least a starter tank. It also ships fast which is a bonus. Btw, it came with two little samples which i greatly appreciate as a starter.

This aquarium is very well made. The silicon seals and frame are of good quality. If you're looking for a simple, rectangular aquarium, this is it.

I've wanted to have an aquarium since I was a kid. This is much taller than I envisioned to be, I can see that may be why the specific unit I bought was a used/return - I'll take a deal price like that every time. The one complaint I can lodge is the sticker stuck fast to the bottom inside, it'll be a nuisance to remove. Besides the discount price, the 18-inch height was one of the main reasons for choosing this one, more viewing area and a taller water column generally, for more potential activity. It's really not as heavy as one may think, but it is a touch awkward to handle given the dimensions. This is a relatively large volume of water, so it'll be heavy - one must account for that. I'm setting up a multi tank system with this as the main body, a 7 and this as 28 make a solid 35 gallon to work with. This is tempered glass, so it has the extra strength to actually support the weight of a small(er) tank sitting on top; although I'm pretty sure it'd hold up to it, I'll be fashioning a stand of sorts to help augment for strength of structural integrity. Describing it isn't much help, I know, so I'll add some pics to this review once I get it up and humming. This tank came with a couple packages of tank treatment 'stuff', which is at least a clue/notifier of the need to treat tap water, if not on a well - which I am. This is just a tank without any components, not a kit - although that is clear on the page data. The 2 "main" differences in tanks are the rim/rimless configuration; I'm adding a negative pressure tank, or 2, also - but both of mine have rims that will need modified to accommodate it/them - I want at least 1 on each tank. If my modification works, I'll definitely share it and include in this review as an edit. Besides just getting to finally take up a hobby of great interest, I'm also hoping this may become a potential "side hustle" of sorts, there's some species of fish and invertebrates I want to breed also; this tank has sewn seed for lot more than just this one.

I bought this because it states glass. It is actually plastic and not at all quality made

Nice tank ! Is as expected. Reasonable price too . No complaints.

Love how it looks and how it fits on my stan

estoy contento con este acuario
