I bought the 7.5 gallon aquarium kit, and I thought the price was reasonable. I had been shopping around for a "starter" aquarium for some time, and decided this one would be perfect. The included filter seems to work fine, but I replaced it with another in order to have a less turbulent flow of water to better suit a betta, my intended fish for this tank. I wanted to do a planted aquarium & therefore also upgraded to a better light. The included light is fine otherwise, but not very bright (and certainly not enough to support live plants. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase.
