2 Gallon Aquarium Starter Kit Small Glass Betta Fish Tank Desktop Mini Fish Bowl for Shrimp Goldfish with Filter Pump LED Light

The first one shipped came with broken glass which turned out to be the tube light that was not wrapped or clipped into the lid. The replacement was seamless and very quick. The second one was intact and easy enough to set up…well, actually the pics of the tubes to put the filtration system together were not the same items I received, so that took a bit of figuring out.I had read the other reviews about the lights being too bright so I applied some paper tape over the white leds to diminish the glare somewhat. I’ll end up replacing the light with something that offers more blue options to keep the water from looking so …I don’t know….washed out, or something. The water looked clearer as soon as I’d covered the white lights…they are too bright and too reflective.The power of the water flow is a bit much too. I am going to find some way to block some of the intake and slow the water movement a bit also.The little tank is attractive though. The black rim on the top of the clear tank also came off easily on the first tank when I tried to lift it out of the box, but I heard the broken glass shift around and stopped trying to unpack the rest of the items immediately. I noticed that there were only scattered patches of white ‘glue’ residue or caulking…it wasn’t solid along the entire edge of the clear tank. I did not experience that trouble with the second tank, but I also took the light tube out right away and turned the box upside down to let gravity allow the tank to come out of the box, rather than trying to lift it out as I had the first time..It was also rather frustrating to have to scan a code in order to follow video instructions for the set up. That’s where is became confusing because my filter pipe sections didn’t match what she was using…not exactly, so it was a bit puzzling to figure out which section matched what she was picking up…also some pieces of mine had already been put together where she was putting them together piece by piece and that made it harder to follow. I had to adjust the video speed to .25 speed in order to understand what she was saying and slowing down her movements enough to see what she was doing. Normal speed had her hands moving so fast that you couldn’t see the individual actions she was taking. Videos can be helpful to fill out info on assembly info, but this one, without ANY paper illustrations or anything on the sales page itself wasn’t a good plan. It definitely needs improvement.Bottom line, … the tank is attractive but has significant features that need improving to make it a value worth the price they are charging. The five gallon, solid glass aquariums on either side of this tank are only $30 more in cost and are a much better value with better features…and are glass to boot. I wouldn’t suggest buying this one at this time and especially would not suggest this for someone who has little experience setting up a new aquarium.
