NICREW 2.5 Gallon Nano Nature Aquarium Kit, Ultra-Clear Rimless Desktop Fish Tank with Light and Filter, Perfect for Small Fish, Shrimp, or Betta, Basic Version, Black

This is really amazing. I was skeptical buying it but after getting it I am really happy. Such a great value. I bought this to use as a quarantine tank for a sick neon tetra. It’s a beautiful tank and it is made very well. The filter is super effective and cute as well and the light is perfect. It came with two bags of gravel and a bag if rocks. Those were really good quality as well. Overall this is definitely a five star product. I have it sitting next to my 36 gallon bowfront tank. It’s a good size for being only 2.5 gallon. It’s perfect for what I need it for. After my fish is all better I plan on keeping this little tank going, it’s just too cute to put away. I have noticed no leaks and it’s very very quiet especially compared to a large system. It looks very easy to clean and it’s just great!Also the back glass is tinted black which really makes everything pop and you don’t have to buy a background for it. I honestly have nothing negative to say about it, it’s just awesome!

My little beta has been through many little plastic tanks. I decided I wanted to upgrade and purchase one with a filtration system to help keep the water cleaner between water cycles. The filtration system will be perfect for helping keep the tank clean. I did purchase the filters extra on the side and they were fairly inexpensive. My little beta is loving his new home. This tank is beautiful! Much better appearance and quality than the plastic tanks I have used before. This is actual glass. I was also amazed at how clear and bright the water/look of the tank was when I came into my office today. This is the perfect size for my office desk. The filter is quiet and doesn’t distract my work.

This is the perfect tank for my fish and I absolutely love the look of it! Totally worth the purchase and my fishie and my little snail ate so happy in this tank. My fishie is way more active, friendly, and comes out to say hi every time I come check in on him and my snail. The filter functions well but is not the best filter but it doesn’t matter if you have live plants because the plants keep the water crystal clear and calls for way less water changes. I highly recommend this tank and to get some live plants to put in it as well! Also the lid for the opening isn’t the best but I found a lid to a jar that fits like a glove. The circular lid is a random piece of plastic. I recommend finding a different covering for the top of the tank. The lid on the tank is what I put that fit perfect the circle plastic is what came with the tank and I didn’t like it and got lucky and found the jar lid that fits like a glove. That would be my only issue because other thank that, this tank is perfect for my fishie, snail and myself!

This tank it really nice. We got it for our office betta after trying a different tank that had a waayyyy to powerful filter. We love that its all clear with no trim pieces looks really beautiful and the filter being on the outside makes it nice and roomy. Filter flow is adjustable and quiet.

What a great little kit! NICREW has put together a nearly perfect nano aquarium kit at this price point. Packaging is very high quality.Happy to see the back glass already painted black and the cute little filter is completely silent, adequate for this tank size.The included LED light is very bright (but does get hot to the touch). I think it will help grow a number of different plants without issue.This is perfect for a shrimp-only tank or potentially keeping a single smaller sized Betta.Only thing that would make this kit 100% complete would be including a small basic heater, but even as-is it's a solid deal for a rimless with all that's included.If NICREW starts making larger sized aquarium kits such as this one in 10-40 gallon sizes...I will instantly buy multiple!

We purchased the Nicrew 24-7 light for 12”-18” tanks (worth it!). The pic is in moonlight mode during the default 24/7 cycle mode. The tank is a breeze to set up and is absolutely stunning!! We added the Nicrew air pump and stone and a small sponge filter because we have shrimp and nano fish in it. Absolutely amazing nano desktop tank! We have it in my wife’s office on the table next to the printer and she loves it!! Nicrew, you have outdone yourselves with this one!!Edit: the tank is the Nicrew 2.5gal nano w/gravel river rock and light. We added dragon rock and honeycomb driftwood for the shrimp. We decided to upgrade some of the accessories , mainly the light because it is a planted tank… overall the tank and accessories are absolutely amazing!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:First and foremost the tank itself appears to be very well made. It looks great, the seals are solid, and the glass is clear. The black background is quite nice too. The filter works quietly and had enough space for me to add in my own pre-established filter media. The light leaves a bit to be desired. It is not very strong and has no built in timer. I also think it is worth mentioning that this size freshwater tank is probably best for shrimp / snails only. If you are looking for a kit as new fish keeper, you should look for something larger.

Personally I find this to be overall a very, well made, nano tank. It comes with a filter and a light, I did personally swap to a small sponge filter, but the filter it comes with works just fine, and you can adjust the flow. It does not come with a heater, so you need to purchase one separate. The light is fine for most of the basic easy plants.I really like that the tank has a black tinted background, and it overall feels really well made. It does have a lid with this flat plastic disk cover. I added a wooden knob that I painted black to it to make it easier to grab. I will probably be stocking it with some fancy shrimp.
