I bought this over three years ago and am pleased now to add a long-term review. I have upgraded to five stars from four as it has proved the test of time and my big concern of noise and filter performance were easy to fix with an upgrade. First and foremost, it is a great bit of kit. It has all the basics to provide an ornamental indoor water feature. There are a few things that you will want to upgrade on it as you become more adept - and as the livestock count is increased. The cabinet is sturdy - and has not sagged or faded in 3 years, and the heater tube still doing a grand job. The glass itself is rock solid - at least a 2-man lift to get it in place after cabinet assembly - 3 recommended. The LED-based strip light has barely faded in 3 years (running it roughly 6 hours per day). A flap at the rear of the top allows easy access to service the filter, and a similar flap at the front of the top provides access to add food. The cabinet comes flat packed but is straightforward to assemble. The power head hangs from a bulkhead pre-attached to the top of the glass and draws water up from the main tank; a venturi on the head draws in air via an external tube and forces it via a tiny tube into the water as a small jet stream. Meanwhile, the drawn water is discharged horizontally into a triveted tray running along the full length at the back of the tank just above the water line. The filter medium sits in that tray and water is polished, falling through the filter material, running to the left and discharging back into the tank at the back left by gravity through a stub spout. Provided there are very few fish in here, and provided one cleans the filter regularly and does partial water changes weekly, there is no reason this set-up cannot be maintained without significant upgrades. The one irritant with this arrangement is the noise of the water as it returns to the tank after filtration. Even with a full tank there is an inch or so drop from the spout. Whilst the sound of running water can be soothing, 24/7 it can irritate! HINT: When installing this aquarium, unless space is extremely tight in your room, leave a few inches between the tank and the wall for unforeseen operations (filter upgrade, electrical distribution ,piping, cleaning the rear face of the glass with a magnetic scraper, access to hoover what is otherwise a thin but tall and wide dust trap) I have chosen to upgrade the filter system to a Fluval external chamber device, allowing selection of different and multiple filter media and reducing maintenance frequency. I feared to do this might require some butchering of the lid and/or cabinet top. However, when I lifted out the original filter tray and power head, I was pleasantly surprised to find this had already been thought of - the rear member of the tank escutcheon had been pre-drilled to take the inlet and outlet. The typical place for such a filter canister would be in one of the cupboards below the aquarium - and they are certainly big enough to accommodate. In my case I had the aquarium backing on to a service cupboard and sat my filter inside that - making what would have been a quiet installation even quieter. In summary, an excellent piece of kit which will stand the test of time - but expect to want to upgrade to a decent filter system in due course. Budget for that - they are not the cheapest bit of kit.

Had this 300ltr for a couple of months now and it really is the business. I had a bit of a struggle with it as it is "heavy" in all senses of the word, ideally you need two strongish people to get it into the property (curb side delivery with a free pallet thrown in) and then to the room you plan to have it in and onto the base which you must assemble first - straight forward enough. The delivery person in my case helped me get into the hallway but I had to manage the rest of it from there. I just about did it, but I am a fairly large male with the added (waning) over belief in my heft and ability to do things by myself. We bought it for our goldfish who was getting bigger - they can get quite large - and with the idea of introducing three tiddler goldfish to keep it company and it has worked a treat. Goldfish can life for up to 20 to 40yrs so a decent and interesting environment is important. The lid based filter system has taken a little bit of getting used to and setting up the pump is fiddly and I did not seem to have the right tubing to fit the pump in the packaging but jury-rigged it just fine due to not wanting to wait sending it back etc.. I also added a 30cm diameter Perspex pipe to the left of the tank where the filtered water drops into the tank as the water drops into the tank in order to help aerate the water, but it makes (in my view) quite a lot of noise.... the addition of the pipe allows the water to be released under the water level and still aerates the tank but with much les noise.... Cleaning is a bit harder as you cannot simply take the top off and there are bracer beams across the top of the tank (its that large) so you have to work round that, but it’s not a big deal in my view, but for those shorter that me (I'm 6' 4") you may need a step to stand on whilst cleaning in order to reach into the tank sufficiently. All said however I think this is a wonderful tank and its great watching the fish enjoy the space!!! definite buy if you can afford it

Brilliant customer service when tank arrived leaking due to poor transportation, they send out a new one for next day and to collect faulty one as the courier company delivered it on a transit van, should of been on a tail lift truck. They was super helpful and fast the tank is very well built great design. Only slight change would make would be to allow you to run your own filter along side the one they send with the tank. The current lid design you have to remove their one to allow your tubes to go in the premade holes. Also I would drill the pre hole at the top rather than the bottom of the cabinet to allow standard filter tubes to reach the far side of the tank as I now have to buy longer tubes to allow it to reach the top of the tank, due to the tube needing to down inside the cupboard to go out the hole then all the way up. Those many inches wasted needing to go down would of allowed the filter to reach. Other than those slight adjustments to the tank and cabinet, it's amazing value, excellent support.

I decided to wait a couple of weeks before submitting my review. I can now say that my wife and I just luv this new tank, I was unsure at first about the filter system being at the top but I can say that it’s so much easier than the last tank. I also wanted to see how the filtration would compare to needing an external filter pump and no need to worry as the system as it is is doing a grand job. I’ve added media, charcoal and more filters and the tank has remained clear with a good PH. MonsterShop delivered exactly on time and in perfect condition. Had a LED tube blow last week, phoned Monster and they arranged delivery for a new one which arrived within the 3 days allocated, well done MonsterShop 👍👍👍 Recent visitors commented on how smart the aquarium looks and I totally agree 😁😬😁 4 stars for no other reason is that I never gives top marks for anything, that’s just me. Thoroughly recommend this tank and MonsterShop ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lo ho comprato ed è molto panoramico. Il mobile è in legno economico per sorreggere circa 380kg. All'interno di esso lo ho rinforzato con silicone trasparente. Filtro interno scomodo per i cambi d'acqua ed il coperchio non si apre a tendina. Prezzo-qualità meritevole. Lo consiglio

Gran calidad, el diseño está perfecto y la entrega rápida. Estoy encantado con la compra, lo recomiendo. El mueble se monta fácil, no obstante, espero que los carpinteros hayan calculado la carga correctamente, el acuario pesa como un demonio!

très bel aquarium mais lorsqu'il est arrivé chez moi il avait quelque rayure sur la partie plastique. Outre ce détail l'aquarium est très haut et peu pratique pour planter (je mesure 1.83m et je n'atteints pas le fond du bac avec mon bras) le système de filtre est efficace et bien mais puisqu'il est contenu dans le capot de l'aquarium celui-ci est compliqué à manipuler. D'ailleurs le capot de l'aquarium ne s'ouvre que devant (le milieu étant les ballast qui à priori ne s'ouvre pas je ne vois pas comment on a accès au deuxième rang de ballast...) et le fond c'est le filtre. Donc le nettoyage des vitres du fond n'est pas évident.. Il faut en gros prévoir de belle rallonges pour nettoyer et planter. De plus attention : toute les prises sont en format prises anglaises... il aurait pu prévenir j'ai du racheter en catastrophe des adaptateurs.. Enfin le gros reproche de cet aquarium que l'on m'a fait à plusieurs reprises c'est le meuble.... Il fait vraiment meuble de mauvaise qualité type casto. premier prix, c'est vraiment dommage qu'il n'ai pas été fourni avec un meuble mieux . Enfin l'autre bug c'est les espaces derrière l'aquarium pour faire passer des tubes/câbles lorsque vous faite passer vos tubes par exemple pour l'installation d'une pompe externe, le capot ne se referme pas bien puisque le bloc de filtration vient butter contre les tuyaux...se n'est pas très bien étudié.j'ai du "tricher" en surélevant le capot avec qql astuces pour que tout soit d’équerre..voici le résultat en photo. C'est un bac parfait pour les discus en terme de hauteur.
