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."

Amazing aquarium kit

"Awesome package! Wood was perfectly sized and looks awesome, tank was beautiful and without defect, filter, light are great too. Substrate is very high quality and they send you with a bag that has much extra. The filter that was packed with my original order did have an issue with leaking water coming through from by the pump motor. Glass aqua customer service was exceptional though!, they responded quickly and sent out a replacement right away. At the sale price of 119$ this is an amazing deal. Would order again without any hesitation. Was going to use the tank for a betta but ended up starting a second smaller shrimp tank!!"

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!"
