Marina LED Aquarium Kit, 20-gal

Pros: -extremely easy to set up. -the slim filter is nice looking and easy to put together and install. The color of the filter is not as distracting as full black. -the tank itself is fairly attractive and sturdy. -trusted brand with great starter products -bright LED light Cons: -this starter kit DOES NOT come with a heater. Putting that in caps so you know to purchase one separately. I was fine with this because I wanted a higher quality thermostat heater. -I wish the lid was attached with a hinge because you have to remove the whole lid and put it on the table or floor in order to get inside. Plus, there’s condensation on the lid so then you get water all over the place when taking it off Pros: -extremely easy to set up. -the slim filter is nice looking and easy to put together and install.

Comments: -I have a 5 gallon Marina start up kit and its a slim 10 filter, which means it has two slots for the inserts instead of four like the slim 20 (which comes in this kit). I find it interesting that Marina sells their filter inserts in packs of three. That means one filter package will never cover changing all four slots in the slim 20 filter (you never want to change all four at the same time anyway, so it’s fine). I just thought it was weird for them to package it with three when the filters come with two and four slots. -Would be nice to have another opening on the other side of the lid for wires or tubes. You can see that my lid has to sit on top of the bubbler tube because there is no opening … more

Unfortunately, it came with a short crack close to the top (see attached picture), I hope the crack won’t grow. Interestingly one other review was stating the same. I’m afraid all their stock have the same problem. Also, I used 16 bottles of 1G distilled water and the tank was filled, how come it’s 20G tank?

Tank kit is exactly what I needed. Great for beginners. My first tank came completely shattered but chewy sent a replacement in one day in perfect condition. I appreciated how fast and easy they righted the situation.

Bought this and unboxed it and was cracked around the top. Still in box sitting unused and a waste of my space. 100+$ completely wasted. Will continue to buy from chewy, this is my only bad timing experience. Can't beat Chewy's Prices and shipping speed.

I got the first one about a week and a half ago and the filter system did not work. I messaged customer service and asked for a replacement filter and the replaced the whole aquarium! Customer service was amazing and shipping was super fast.

I was so excited to upgrade my 2.5 gallon tank to this larger tank and was seriously disappointed when I set it all up and it began leaking. The bottom of the tank immediately began to leak as I filled it up with water. I had to return it and now I’m waiting on a replacement, but I am honestly nervous to receive a tank with the same problem again.

I’m really excited to start my first fish tank and chose the Marina kit because it got a great endorsement from an article in The NY Times. The hood on the kit came scratched in multiple places and there are smudges on the glass that make me think this isn’t a new product. I’m potentially happy with the product (haven’t set it up yet) but already disappointed by how it showed up.

I love this tank kit it's a great starter kit with the few additions of a heater and a couple other things it's perfect for the price and looks quite nice and not cheap like other tanks I've seen for this price. Overall I love it and highly recommend!

It comes with a one year warranty... I had it for one year and 2 months and it’s already leaking from the bottom! Don’t waste your money.
