Features

  • Product 1: LARGE ENVIRONMENT: Larger environments can house more fish or a greater variety of fish. Maintains water temperature. Essential for tropical fishkeeping
  • Product 1: KIT INCLUDES: one 55 gallon tank, EasyBalance Plus, TetraMin, AquaSafe, 6 fish net, 200W heater, WPF 60 Filter, Stick on digital thermometer, 24 Tetra hinged hood x 2, 2 plant multipacks and a boxwood plant, TetraCare brochure and instruction sheet
  • Product 1: LED LIGHTING: Included lighting adds the natural daylight effect to your aquarium, giving you illuminated viewing of the entire space
  • Product 1: ACTUAL TANK DIMENSIONS: 48.25" L x 12.80" W x 20.90" H
  • Product 2: NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL: The Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven and utilizes an Air Pump (not included) to cycle crystal clear water throughout your aquarium, while keeping a crisp and neat look inside. This means theres less moving parts, making for simplistic and easy maintenance. This filter is suitable for most 40 55 gallon aquariums.
  • Product 2: BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, AND PHYSICAL FILTRATION: As air is pushed through the Air Stones and rises through the Lift Tubes, water is gently suctioned through gravel and the filter plates, allowing both air and water to pass through the Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Cartridges. When water continues to be drawn through, anaerobic bacteria collects and colonizes within the gravel and filter plates.
  • Product 2: ALSO AERATES YOUR TANK: Since the Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven through the use of Air Stones and an Air Pump (not included), it also aerates your tank. In essence, your aquarium is being filtered and aerated at the same time, though the same system! Its a filter and bubbler in 1!
  • Product 2: ITEMS INCLUDED: The Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter includes 4 Filter Plates, 4 Adjustable Lift Tubes, 4 Straight Airline Tubes, 9 Filter Plate Connecters, and 4 Replaceable Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Media Cartridges.

    • Fish tank hood light

Was all well. Then the lights started flashing. Contacted Amazon and it says I have to return the whole thing after I have set it up and cycled instead of just sending me lights.

    • Do Not Buy an Aquarium Kit...
Size: 55 Gallon Style: Aquarium Kit
Review Image by STEVEN J. DI GERONIMO STEVEN J. DI GERONIMO
Do not buy and aquarium kit. Purchase whatever you need separately, this way if there is a problem with an item you can return that item. In my case the Tetra Whisper 60 Filter that came with this kit is extremely loud and noisy. It didn't start out that way, but after running for over a 2 weeks or so, it has gotten much worse, and it doesn't filter very well. So now I have to purchase a new filter. I cannot return the whole package since the tank is fully set up with fish... ... show more

    • Excellent Tank & Filter, Very Basic 2 Piece Hood, LEDs Don't Stay On, Over-Priced
Size: 55 Gallon Style: Aquarium Kit
Review Image by Matt Matt

The media could not be loaded. 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. ... show more

Size: 55 Gallon Style: Aquarium Kit
10/30/22 Update I still have this aquarium and it is doing well. The lights in the hood did fail about 6 months ago. I upgraded to an LED light bar that is better for planted tanks. I replaced the hoods with some clear acrylic. I may change the hoods to real glass at some point because the clear plastic has warped. You can run it without a hood, but you may have to top off the tank occasionally due to evaporation and you might risk having a fish jump to its death. The original heater and filter are still operating. I replaced the Tetra filter media with large blocks of filter sponge and I clean it out monthly. I would still recommend this aquarium for anyone new to the hobby. The tank and filter are both high-quality pieces and will be serviceable for many years. Original October 2019 Review When I first saw that this aquarium kit was going to travel over 1500 miles by ground to my house, I was worried that I would be getting a box full of broken glass. My worries were for nothing because the aquarium arrived intact and had all of listed components inside the box. Basically you'll have about 90% of what you need to get an aquarium up and running with this kit. The tank is USA made with 3/16" tempered glass. The 55 gallon size gives you a lot of space to be creative and it is easier to maintain water quality with the larger volume. It has a hood with integrated LED lighting. The filter is the well known Tetra Whisper 60 that really is whisper quiet. Disregard the videos that show the filter operating with a loud chattering noise. These were made by morons who didn't prime the pump or had the impeller installed incorrectly before turning it on. The filter wells are nice and deep and you can ditch the replaceable cartridges for any type of reusable media (sponge, filter floss, bio-rings, rock, etc.). It's also easy to clean and has only one moving part (two if you count the flow control knob). The heater was a no-name 200W UL certified. It has been working just fine and maintaining temp. for the last two months. The kit also comes with several packs of plastic and silk plants, water conditioner, a stick-on thermometer, a net, and food to get you started. The only things you'll need to add to get it up and running are substrate, water, and fish. If this is your first aquarium, I would also recommend getting a bottle of bacteria starter culture, some extra water conditioner, a gravel vac, and a water test kit. This would make a great gift for anyone wanting to get into the hobby. Happy fish keeping! ... show more

    • Nice tank
Size: 55 Gallon Style: Aquarium Kit
The tank itself is great! The accessories that came with it were not that great. We tossed the filter on day 2 because of how loud and inefficient it was. Then we tossed the lights and hood that came with it because the lights kept shorting out because there is no cover over them. We would have been better off buying the tank by itself and then the rest of the accessories separately. ... show more

    • lights do not work right out of the box, good customer service
Size: 55 Gallon Style: Aquarium Kit
The media could not be loaded. Update: customer service was great. They shipped a replacement light set. The issue was solved by using two power supplies one for each light string. Original: The lights are a problem, they flicker constantly. I just install it yesterday. I contacted customer support. I hope then can resolve the issue. Other than this issue, the aquarium itself seems to be well constructed. The power supply for the lights seems to be too little for the job, it is constantly hot and if i had to guess, i would say it is the culprit for the lights flickering. I made sure that all cables are properly connected and that the lights power supply is connected to a stable power source. ... show more
