Excellent Tank & Filter, Very Basic 2 Piece Hood, LEDs Don't Stay On, Over-Priced
I purchased this Tetra 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit after procrastinating for about a year. My former-spouse left a 25 Gallon Tank behind with a Pletco that grew quite large over time; she didn't want the tank or pletco back so I inherited both. I finally broke down and purchased this tank and wish I had sooner. First, the Pros: The Tank itself appears to be very well made with heavy tempered glass; the Filter also appears to be very well made and cleared up the water fairly quickly after we populated the tank with 80 pounds of river-stone (after thoroughly washing) that I also purchased on Amazon; the Accessories were adequate; the Packaging was superb; and the Size was absolutely perfect for my existing Table. Now, the Cons: The LED Light stays on for about 15 seconds then cycles off then back on (we've tried everything to correct this but it appears to be a systemic issue from what I've read in the reviews); the Hood comes in 2 pieces side-by-side and is a bit on the Cheap side (lightweight molded plastic with no hinge); and the Kit is Over-Priced IMHO. The majority of what you see in the pics/video of the tank were purchased separately; there were recommendations of 1-2 lbs of substrate per gallon so I purchased 80 lbs of river-stone (which was very expensive but quite nice); I also purchased the decoration on the left and the dual air-pump (two-bubblers); the remaining items were mostly from the old tank. We still have a ways to go with this tank but quite pleased with how it is turning out overall (plan to add additional fish, live plants, backdrop, and hopefully get the LED lighting fixed). Note: If the LED lighting had worked and the kit was more reasonably priced, I would have definitely given this a 5-Star.
