GloFish Betta Shadowbox Aquarium Kit

The media could not be loaded. I did a lot of research in looking for a cost effective fish tank with a purifier built in. I only have one goldfish, but if you have one, you know they create a dirty atmosphere. This fish tank was the perfect size for my little guy and I didn’t have to worry about purchasing a filter separately and installing it somehow. It was definitely the best bang for my buck. I’ve come to find that I LOVE that it has a light. Both a day time and night time light. We keep ours on all night and it’s the perfect night light.I did purchase a siphon to help with water changes. I think this is crucial. I tried emptying the water down my sink once and it was too heavy and I cracked the glass. I did my first water change yesterday with a siphon and it worked perfectly. The water filter isn’t loud, which you’ll typically find with purifier motors, which was a pleasant surprise.The one draw back is that when algae accumulates in the back compartment of the tank, it will be difficult to clean because it’s a very skinny area which my hand doesn’t fit in. Also, the knob for the water flow is in the bottom of this compartment, and difficult to reach. But there’s something to be said for me purchasing this tank again after I broke the first one even with these draw backs. I would recommend, especially for the quality and inexpensive price.

Very surprised and impressed with this tank! Perfect size for a betta fish or a couple small tetras. Extremely easy to set up and the build quality is really solid. The pump is extremely quiet as well. I had to undo the hose to make sure it was even running. I do recommend starting it on the lowest setting as the suction can get a little strong so test it out first and make sure your fish isn’t fighting the current. Highly recommend this as a good looking simple little tank, especially for beginners!

I bought this tank to replace a small tank for my goldfish that always looked dirty. This one’s filter is powerful! You can turn it down if it’s too strong for your fish but goldfish are dirty so I kept it on high. The back of the tank where all of the filter equipment is can be tedious however that’s the price you pay to have a tank that has everything built in and looks nicer then having equipment hanging off the back. But when doing a major clean but the usual swap out of the media is a breeze. I do change the filter media earlier then any recommendations because goldfish are so dirty. But the tank is always sparkling clean. The lights are bright and cover the entire tank. I can’t get over how low maintenance or how easy the maintenance is. The more you are on top of it the easier it is in the long run too though. One trick I have found out is if you have a heater sometimes the glass lid gets condensation. To avoid that you can slide the lid back a bit creating a gap so air can get in there. The cleaner the glass lid that is real easy to clean the better the light looks too. This would make a great tank for beginners or experienced fish tank owners. If you stay on top of the maintenance like water changes and filter media changes it’s really a great and convenient tank that looks awesome.

Nice tank, easy to set up. It is also quiet and the LED lights are bright. BUT we have been told by multiple stores that it is barely big enough to hold 2 GlowFish. Some clerks have indicated that it was too small for even a single GlowFish. How can that be when it is a branded GlowFish tank?

Cute addition to our home perfect for a small beta fush

Nice size, I got the 3 gallon and it fits on a sofa end table. I have a beta, 3 tetras and 2 small 3/4" bottom feeders. Just change out about 1/2 gallon of water every week or 2 and the fish will be fine. The pump is quiet and the light works fine.

I had it for 9 months and the lights stopped working.

You will not find a hidden filter/rimless style 3 gallon complete tank for less. It's definitely the best bang for your buck. However the blue light is on no matter what when you have the lights on. Your only opinions are blue night light, or white and blue day light or of course off. There is no just white, and that makes my fave always look a little weird and discolored. The filter system is okay, however it's a little noisy and not the most effective. The shape of the tank is a little awkward to clean as well. All that being said it's a very nice looking tank at a great price point, it's sleek and is a great betta/micro tank size and pretty good quality. So overall I do recommend it if you are on a budget. Otherwise I'd definitely upgrade if you have the funds.
