Gifted as an upgrade for my UNS 20C

"I got this as a gift since I wanted to upgrade my cube. It's a nice tank, came with 3 pieces of spiderwood that I'll be adding to the wood stash, contrasoil, the tank +mat, and the light. The light is the only bit I have a bit of an issue with. It wasn't the Dymax Flexz LED advertised, but instead it was the white AquaWorx EOS Nano tank LED. This wouldn't have been an issue if not for the fact that the white version is not dimmable. While I can compensate with floaters for the tank itself, the harsh white LED is a bit harsh for a desktop/bedroom light. I will either have to find workarounds, or get a new light."

"Fast shipping and no damages. The UNS cube looks great and will be buying another tank. Kit came with everything needed and love the lava rock it came with."

Fast kit

"It arrived quickly! I like the light a lot and the glass is good quality. The driftwood gets that white algae slime ,I wish I would have chosen the rocks instead but the gravel is great same with the filter. It’s a bit expensive for online (if I would have purchased items individually on my own ) but who want to do that so they dealt with that headache .so definitely worth it ! Also Petco and near by stores charge way more ."

Great kit to start out

"This bundle is a good way to start off a new nano tank as it includes everything you'll need. The pictures and description are a little misleading though, as my 2 gal cube came with a 1lb bag of fine brown substrate and only one piece of spiderwood. Had to reimagine my scape, and ended up saving the spiderwood for a future tank instead. Still, very happy with this purchase- my betta fish loves his new home!"

This is my second time

"This is my second time purchasing this kit, it's a great deal. The shipping is the quickest and most affordable I've come across. The light is small but grows plants very well and the filter (with some added media) keeps the water crystal clear. The wood combined with plants gives the nano scape a very natural looks. The uns soil is also top quality. Can't wait for the cycle to finish so I can get some blue Velvet neos in there!"

Great Customer Service!

"I chatted with a representative to get clearer on what I should get my dad (who is a beginner) for his birthday as a nice starter package. The quality of the product is fantastic but I do wish I ordered the plants AFTER the tank. I ordered everything at the same time and the plants came the week before the tank arrived. As a result, one of the plants died."

— Samantha C. (4/5)

Beautiful tank

"I have yet to set up my new tank but I love it more than I thought. The starter kit was the best way for me to get all I needed at once. I actually received 4 great pieces of wood which will be a beautiful habitat once complete. The quality of the glass is awesome. The overall tank is minimal which goes perfectly with my home."

— Aaron D. (5/5)
