Comments about Aqua Town Starter Tank:

Had to get a good value tank after winning two goldfish at a fair, this seemed perfect as low price, with filter and gravel (although not enough) although great value for money the instructions for filter as a beginner are terrible, had it set up all wrong before reading previous reviews.also agree with sticky tape..but after the headache its now all set up to wait for fish to go in :)

Never call this a starter pack!!

By Han from Blackwood uk on 12/5/2013

Pros:

Easy To Attach Filter

Describe Yourself:

Aquarium Novice

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Town Starter Tank:

This product is awful!! Bought only because it stayed starter pack and I've never kept fish before. Didn't even know you had to have filters these days. Instructions are terrible, still don't even know if I've set it up right. Scared to get fish cause its cruel if its not set up right. I have water coming out of the clear pipe when the pump is on?

Make sure you ask about

By Never again from Petsathome from Lancashire on 24/4/2013

Cons:

Not For A Starter

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Town Starter Tank:

Ask how to set the filter up as the intstructions are useless.

Ask why the filter power cord is so small when it states it must be plugged into the wall socket & not an extension lead.

Ask them to sell you the right size of gravel bag in the first place to save you going back for another one.

Not what it says on the Tin!

By Mrs C Sherry

from Central Scotland on 23/4/2013

Pros:

Easy To Clean, Fits Anywhere, Sturdy

Cons:

Instructions Unclear, Too Noisy

Best Uses:

Office, Small Room

Describe Yourself:

Aquarium Novice

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Town Starter Tank:

Bought this as it seemed the ideal "first aquarium" for my young son.
We have never owned fish before so we were soley reliant on Pets @ Home staff and the set-up instructions for advice. This was not the case!
After 3 days we finally worked out the filter, thanks to the other reviews on this page.
We have had more information from these than from the box and staff which is really disappointing!! I am now worried that because it has taken so long to finally set-up that we have jeopardised the"cycle" and should wait a good bit longer before introducing fish???. This is not going down very well with my son as he is fed up waiting.
Its also very noisy therefore DO NOT recommend this in or near a bedroom.
This potentially could be a fantastic buy but its instructions are a mega let down. Its sad as poor fish will suffer or maybe even die because of basic but very important information. The staff selling this product should also be aware of the difficulties aswell.

Value for money but does have issues!

By THJ0528308

from St Austell, Cornwall, UK on 4/4/2013

Pros:

Colourful, Fits Anywhere, Sturdy

Cons:

Filter Doesn't Clear Tank, Leaks

Best Uses:

Small Room

Describe Yourself:

Aquarium Novice

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Town Starter Tank:

I brought this for me and my girlfriend to house 3 Zebra Danios which the packaging of the tank says is ok. The filter never clears the actual water and never stay stuck to the side of the tank. Water is always murky and the filter just comes away from the tank wall. Small leak as well in the front left corner. Will be expecting a refund and I will then purchase a better quality tank from Pets at Home.

This is a great little tank , but the only problem I have with it is the instructions for assembling the oxygenator/filter it is not that clear were to put the tube that runs the oxygenator there could be pictures in the instructions so that you have an idea were to put the pipe.
