There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Filter Pump Noise Level: Probably the biggest thing on everyone's mind concerning this purchase. Let me assure you it is absolutely silent with very low agitation. I have 4 different sized filter pumps and this is the most quiet, albeit smallest one. There is absolutely no friggin' way for your fish to get sucked into it, the water inlet hole is about as big as a lead pencil. It has just enough movement to circulate the water through a very small charcoal filter. You don't even so much as hear water trickling because there is very little movement. The Tetra Whisper 3i is a hang on the inside style filter, and the impeller snaps onto the bottom of the reservoir, so there are no hoses. The trick is everything needs to fit together snug and tight, you really have to force the impeller housing onto the end of the reservoir to get a good fit. There is also a clip to attach so you can hang it on the aquarium and you really have to push in tight so it's stable. I adjusted it to the tallest height setting and filled the water level to the appropriate height in my pictures. If you look at them you can see I added a piece of rubber drawer liner to the clip to act as a vibration dampener. It also says in the instruction manual that you can order suction cups if you have a problem with the clip for some reason.
Design: I really like the sleek, minimalist style. It looks cool, and is a functional piece of art that is perfect for an office, or bedroom. The plastic is crystal clear, but it is plastic so there is the potential for scratches if those bother you.
Features: I got exactly what I needed: a complete aquarium in a small form factor, with a quiet pump, and an LED light. You really should get a small aquarium heater and an AC light timer A) for your convenience and B) for the fish to have a consistent light schedule. A cheap $5 rotary style is all you really need. The LED light and pump are both two prong, non-grounded AC plugs.
Other things you will need you may not be thinking of: Don't waste money on fake plants, real ones are cheaper and they help clear and oxygenate the water. You need a 5lb bag of aquarium substrate, extra filters, some kind of a hiding spot for your fish, liquid aquarium bacteria, water dechlorinator, and a gravel vacuum. You really should give your aquarium time to properly cycle and clarify before adding a fish, but I didn't really have a choice this time so I used plant clippings, rocks, and decorations from other tanks and lots of bacteria starter. You need to do a 25% water change every week and check your filters frequently.

Price I bought it at: $37.90 (not including tax) + Free Shipping
Type of fish I have in this tank: Betta
What you get in the box:
- Tetra Aquarium Tank 3 Gal. (plastic)
- Lid for Tetra Tank (plastic)
- LED light (plastic)
- Whisper Filter (plastic) + one filter cartridge
Delivery time: Two days
Condition of package when delivered: Perfect
Condition of products inside: Brand New (No scratches, cracks, etc...)
Here is a list of the pro's and cons of the product:
Cons:
- The LED light is extremely bright
- NOTE: Since the light was too bright my Betta became very stressed. I used some electrical tape to tape over some of the bulbs so that there
wasn't so much light beaming onto my fish. That still didn't work very well either. I ended up trashing the LED light.
- The Whisper Filter System is quite loud and has a pretty strong current.
- NOTE: Whenever my Betta would swim underneath the filter she would be pushed down quite hard. The vibration of the filter system stressed out my Betta quite a bit. I am in the process of buying a new filter system.
- The lid does not allow for a lot of customization when it comes to where you want to put the filter system and LED light or any extras you may have.
Pros:
- A 3 gallon tank for my one Betta fish is the perfect size.
- NOTE: There is a lot of space for her to swim, she was very happy when I moved her from a 1 gallon to this 3 gallon tank. There's also plenty of space for me to put plants and 'toys' for her.
- The look of the tank is simple and modern.
- Without the lid the tank has quite a bit of space to customize.
- NOTE: You are able to put the filter system (or your own filter system), LED light, or any other things you have (thermometer, heater, etc...) wherever you want.
- The overall size of the tank isn't too bulky and it does not take up a lot of room.
- NOTE: The tank isn't too heavy when it is filled with water.
- Even though the tank is plastic, it isn't too cheap.
- NOTE: I can be a bit rough with the tank while cleaning it, but I have yet to see any scratches or cracks anywhere.
Would I recommend?
At the price point ($37.90) which I had bought it at, yes, I would recommend.
NOTE: Most tanks are quite pricey and if they are not pricey then the quality of the tank is normally horrific.
Why would I recommend?
I would recommend this product because it's a sturdy modern style tank, 3 gallon, which is perfect for a Betta fish (any other fish I do not know, I am talking from personal experience). I like that I am able to customize the tank with whatever filter system or heater I'd like, there is plenty of room for it. It doesn't take up a lot of space and has overall been a scratch free/crack free tank with my rough handling.
Why would I not recommend?
The price point that it is at now ($56 + shipping) is a hefty price tag. If I were to purchase this product knowing that the filter system and the LED light were a bust, I would wait for the price to drop to at least $35 to $40 because I would only be paying for the tank itself.
The idea of the tank having a filter system and an LED light included is great for a beginner or someone with a brand new fish. I used both to see how my fish would react, what she does and doesn't like, so it does give you an idea of your fish's preferences. Some Betta fish may not be as sensitive as mine, they are all different.
At the price point I bought it for, I'd give this product four stars
Any price point higher, I'd say three stars.
I hope everyone finds this review helpful.

Aquarium is quite sturdy but the lid could have been thicker. Fits pretty much any place but is enough water for my Betta. Modern looking.
Good value for the price.
