Not a bad tank for a starter tank or small space
I used to own a number of tanks and my dad bred fish when we were growing up, so we had as many as 30 tanks in our house at once. I finally convinced my wife to get a tank for our children, which we wanted to fit on their tall dresser in their bedroom. The regular rectangular shaped 10 gallon was a little too big, so we went with the half moon. We have had this one up for just over a week now.

Pros:
- Small foot print so it fit onto a narrow/ tall dresser
- Super quiet filter, perfect for the kids bedroom.
- I like that it is taller than a normal 10 gallon so the plants can grow taller.
- The filter seems to pump plenty of water for the tank. You can really see the water movement and if the fish don't eat quickly, some of the food will get sucked into the filter within just a few minutes. The water has been crystal clear.

Cons:
- I don't like that they taped things to the inside of the tank when they shipped it. You don't want to...

Great in Appearance and Function, Almost Silent
We bought this tank today and after setting it up, we absolutely love it. I wanted an elegant/stylish tank, and that is exactly what I got.

Things that I love about the tank:
1. Shape - the half moon shape is great for viewing your fish, plus, it is a nice change from traditional rectangular fish tanks
2. The filter is very quiet
3. The filter replacements are not very expensive (I looked them up after purchasing the tank)
4. The LED light is bright and does not require much energy
5. The heater can be placed almost anywhere in the tank, allowing you to hide it behind plants or water features.

Things to note:
1. While I love the light, the tank that is the next size up comes with a day/night LED light feature which allows you to use one light for both day and night, instead of purchasing a separate night-time light if you want to view your tank during off hours without stressing your fish out.
2. The filter does not have a lid,...
Looks great but poor filter
I just set up this tank today and immediately noticed the poor quality filter that came with this aquarium. I don't like the idea of an open top on the filter plus there are so many better filters on the market that will fit this tank. I am also not crazy about the provided top. It's just a piece of plastic that sits loosely on top of the tank with a hole in the front for feeding and two holes in the back for the heater and filter. They should have made this a hinged lid instead as there is a chance fish will jump out. Poor design! However, the tank looks beautiful and with a few minor adjustments, it will be a nice addition to my office. If you do decide to add a better filter, use the AquaClear 20. It's fantastic and will keep the aquarium in much better shape than the provided filter. Fits perfectly. Just remove the cut out portion of the back of the lid and the AquaClear fits beautifully. The AquaClear has a lid so the water is not exposed and requires very little maintenance.
