Customers are mixed about the quality of the vivarium. Some mention that it's a nice little starter tank, and decent tank for a beginner. However, others say that the lights have stopped working for no reason, and the build quality on this tank is pretty low.

Good initial set up, but filter broke
4 Stars
Good initial set up, but filter broke
So, first issue is the filter broke after five days of setting up the tank right after I got everything cycled (fast tracked with API Quick Start) and already bought my betta. I opted to put the betta in the fish tank anyway since an unfiltered but already cycled and roomy fish tank would be better than the cup I was trying to rescue it from. This isn't too big of a deal to me since my plan was already to get a sponge filter set up. I just got this tank kit to get me started. I am technically a beginner but my mom was a fish tank enthusiast for some time so I know some ins and outs. If you are a true beginner and planning on depending on this kit, I would be careful with the purchase. I may have just gotten a bad filter; the other reviews kind of hint that may be the case. Either way, the filter breaking just fast tracked my timeline to building my "dream fish tank."Another small issue is the suction cup for the heater doesn't work (you can see it floating in the back right corner). And, it is not adjustable so look to get fish that like the 75F-79F range (as shown on my thermometers). Bettas are okay in this temp, although it is a little high and I am eyeing a better heater anyway. So, again this is not too much of an issue for my situation.Ten gallons is perfect for beginners as long as they do their research and don't overstock the tank or mix incompatible species, so that is a plus and the tank itself seems to be great. The hood and lighting are perfect. for beginners. The hood looks stylish and the lights are a good brightness (with the filter running they have a ripple effect of actual sunlight on a sea/lake bed). The cord for the lights have a switch to turn them on and off and its places on a spot on the cord that should make it accessible with most set ups. I do plan to get a clear hood and one of those lights that have the night/day led lights just because that is my preference for now, but I will be saving this hood for either another fish tank or if I decided to swap back and fourth.All the other little things that came with the fish tank are good. Used the water conditioner and it works just fine. There are some coupons for fish food and supplies. It also came with sample fish flakes; I just used those to help jumpstart my nitrogen cycle, but I will be feeding my betta a variety of pellets, freeze dried, frozen, and live food so they weren't needed beyond initial set up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buena opción
Reviewed in Mexico on April 22, 2020
Me gusto, hermoso, el agua se ve muy clara, las luces da un toque vivido. El calentador por vivir en Cancún y estar ahora a los 30 grados Celsius no se lo puesto. El termómetro es una calcomanía. Las instrucciones vienen en inglés. La bomba de filtración no es ruidoso. Se requiere dos enchufes, una para el filtro de cascada y otra para la tapa con luz led que trae un botón de encendido y apagado. Trae todo lo indicado en el kit. Cómo trae solo un cartucho de carbón activo y una esponja para el control del amoniaco, he comprado mas a parte porque deben ser reemplazados cada mes. La arena, plantas y accesorios de mi pecera fueron comprados a parte. Ampliamente lo recomiendo.
