Tetra ColorFusion Aquarium 20 Gallon Fish Tank Kit, Includes LED Lighting and Decor

So let me start with the bad.The thermometer is a plastic stip that doesn't work. The horrible plastic plants will hurt most fish. The filter was broken and sounded like a bunch of rocks were grinding inside it. And the light is a super basic on off.Now why you should buy this over all the other tanks. That's the tank and the price. The tank is a perfectly functional 20 gal fish tank. It has a nice lid. And I was surprised I liked the heater. All this for less than what a 20 gal fish tank without a lid would normally cost.Seriously just replace the stuff you don't like. The tank alone is worth the price.My tank has been set up for a month now. Photo attached.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this tank for my two daughters, ages 4 and 7, who were interested in getting some glo fish. Originally the plan was to go with two small tanks for each of their rooms but quickly learned this was a much more cost effective option as well as more likely to have happy fish and be visually appealing. We liked the look of the Color Fusion versus the Glo Kit because of the color changing option. We have had the tank set-up without water for a couple weeks, finally filled it up and got the filter and heater going yesterday, and have made 6 GloFish a home today. This works really well with GloFish, for those that might be wondering. After a lot of shopping for tanks, I went with this kit because the reviews were positive, the price was right for what you get, and the customer service responses were encouraging that if we had any after purchase questions and needs, they would be taken care of, and they have been.This tank comes with....- A pump and filter. It is quiet other than the water movement, which is actually quite relaxing. You need to change this monthly from what I understand. It has a low and hi setting.- A heater. It is not adjustable but seems to be holding the temp just fine for our Tropical GloFish.- A Color Fusion light. It cycles through the colors, you can press the button to halt in on a color if you wish. There is not an off button, so if you want the light off at night you will need to either unplug it or put it on a timer.So if you are counting that is 3 outlet openings that you will need and you should probably have this going to a ground fault outlet, which we did.- Comes with a few Color Fusion decorations and a really nice sea anemone decoration.-A net, a little packet of water conditioner, and a small packet of fish food.-A Thermometer - ours was missing this, but the company was really helpful in getting that resolved.What you will need to get:- You will need to get some more decorations for sure. No gravel comes in the kit. I bought a total of 34 lbs of gravel, All black for the base and then 2 - 2lbs of color glo gravel, and 2 small bags of gem rocks.- More fish food and water conditioner- A gravel vacuum- A background for the tank. I used black Cricut Vinyl.- The FISH :)April 2019 EDIT:After an estimated 9000 hours the light has quit working. We leave the light on about 12-14 hours a day and shut it off at night. I am attempting to contact company to see about a replacement. I am not finding what they state the life of the light should be, however, other companies that sell similar lights claim a guarantee for 50000 hours. I will let you all know what I find out.After finding a couple different contact emails with various responses one sent me a replacement light. We have the new one on a timer that is one 8 hours per day. We have a llevo and 5 Flo fish in the tank. And pleco like dark to get out and eat that algea so that is why the light settings

This is a fantastic tank. I purchased it in September 2022, and set it up in October. I haven't had any issues with it, and the same fish I bought then are still happy and healthy!As of today though (July 30th 2025) the light strip has started to flicker and shut off on its own. I have been looking for replacement lights, but the lights in this hood are very unique and I cannot seem to locate a replacement. After searching Amazon, customer reviews, the Web at large and the company site, I still haven't located this particular light strip. I did call and left a message with customer service as it's after hours over East where their headquarters are. I hope to hear back soon with some options, but am wondering if anyone has had to replace the light and may have other resources?

Good starter kit. Heater works just fine, filter isn't the quietest but isn't bothersome. I have the tank in my home office. Tank holds water and looks good, slight damage inside the tank rim where the filter sits. The plastic rim is broken in a four inch piece but is still attached, I will fix it with silicone. Light is nice, not super bright. The provided hood clamps when fully installed, cause the lid to flare up on the front and not truly close. Overall, not bad for the price. The hood and damage are my only real gripes.
