NICREW 2.5 Gallon Nano Nature Aquarium Kit, Ultra-Clear Rimless Desktop Fish Tank with Light, Filter, Gravel and Rock, Perfect for Small Fish, Shrimp, or Betta, Complete Version, Black

Nicest rimless nano aquarium I have ever bought. It was packaged so well and it really helped because my sister accidentally dropped it bringing it in. For the size, this tank really stands out. Perfect size and shape for my desk. Immediately upon opening I noticed it has a nice built in leveling matt. This tank is super sturdy but not too heavy. Doesn’t take up too much room. I also noticed the bottom is glass too and not cheap plastic like most nanos. It came with the back glass painted black, but there is a clear option as well. I paint the backs of all my tanks black and often use black substrate. Makes the fish stand out and brightly colored. I leak tested it for 2 days before setting it up and there was no leakage at all. The light is really nice and bright. I like that I can switch it on and off with 1 push of a button. However, I like things uncomplicated. So if you want full spectrum and programmable you will want to get a different type. Works great with my plants. I put velcro on back of light switch and the tank to have easy access. I put a floating log and Amazon frog bit in my tank to shade my ADFs. The filter is wonderful and simple for this size tank. IMO it is comparable to the Fluval HOB filters at a fraction of the price. So good I ordered the same filter separately for another nano tank. Works great and is almost silent. I added some ceramic media to the right side of my filter. I like that it has multiple types of filtration in one yet not complicated at all. Super easy to clean the sponge filter inside the tank that makes it safe for smaller critters like neos. The one on the outside-HOB-is great because it has carbon & basically filter floss and another pre-sponge basically all in one. If you don’t want to use this kind, i suggest filter floss. All in all looks amazing (and expensive) at a stealer price. Great for a starter tank too. Would def buy again!

This is the perfect tank for my fish and I absolutely love the look of it! Totally worth the purchase and my fishie and my little snail ate so happy in this tank. My fishie is way more active, friendly, and comes out to say hi every time I come check in on him and my snail. The filter functions well but is not the best filter but it doesn’t matter if you have live plants because the plants keep the water crystal clear and calls for way less water changes. I highly recommend this tank and to get some live plants to put in it as well! Also the lid for the opening isn’t the best but I found a lid to a jar that fits like a glove. The circular lid is a random piece of plastic. I recommend finding a different covering for the top of the tank. The lid on the tank is what I put that fit perfect the circle plastic is what came with the tank and I didn’t like it and got lucky and found the jar lid that fits like a glove. That would be my only issue because other thank that, this tank is perfect for my fishie, snail and myself!

Don't even hesitate. This tank is awesome! My little betta guy loves the upgrade with all the extra space. The design of the tank is sleek with nice quality glass and a cool black background. Super quiet filter with adjustable water flow. Took 5 minutes to set up. Just make sure you pour water into filter chamber to activate the flow once assembled on side of tank. Also, water level in tank should be quite high to keep filter working efficiently.

A very nice aquarium for the price. It fits well on a desk and looks great. I am using mine as a planted desk tank for a handful of cherry neocaridina shrimp and this kit is perfect for that purpose. The filter runs quietly - however I have found that if the filter is jostled it can produce an audible hum. When that happens I just gently reposition it until I hear it running more smoothly. It's a relatively good filter so far, but my tank is also planted so the filter quality matters slightly less - I do really like the adjustable flow knob so I can make the current gentler as I have had shrimplets hatch in this aquarium since I set it up. I cannot comment on the quality of the light that comes in this kit, as I decided to use a different light I already had set up at my desk, but I did plug it in and it seems like a perfectly nice light so I might use it for one of my other tanks. Personally I would not keep fish in this tank because I feel like it is too small, but it is perfect for a small population of invertebrates. I may purchase this kit again in the future for raising other colors and varieties of shrimp, and possibly also for keeping micro crabs. I have yet to find a similar tank that is so suitable for raising aquatic plants and invertebrates for such a good price!

This aquarium is absolutely beautiful. The glass is perfectly clear, the filter is silent and works wonderfully. The LED light is bright and lights up the tank perfectly. We are using this tank for our betta fish. It is extremely happy as it has lots of room to swim around. I would definitely recommend this for anyone with a betta fish or a couple small fish. It is very well made and we are super happy with it.
