Skroutz Aquarium Starter Kit
Suppose you want a high-quality tank for your goldfish, one that comes with everything included to get started. In that case, this is an excellent option to consider. It may not be the most affordable option, but it is one of the best.
Review
The Skroutz Aquarium is a 29-gallon tank with dimensions of 30-¼” x 18-5/8” x 12-½”. This is a good size for a few goldfish or other fish. It’s large enough to house a few fish, yet small enough that it won’t take up too much space.
This aquarium is made of glass, so it might be heavy. However, it is very good looking and scratch-resistant. This aquarium comes with an included heater, set to 76 degrees.
While the heater may not be adjustable, it is a high-quality model.
Also included is a good filter that is obscured from sight and runs quietly. It’s the right size to filter the amount of water in the tank several times per hour.
It uses all 3 major forms of water filtration. The filter takes simple media cartridges that are very easy to change.
Finally, the Skroutz Aquarium also comes with a simple LED lighting system that is quite bright yet also energy efficient, not to mention quite durable. It’s a simple lighting system incorporated into the included high-quality hood.
Pros
- Comes with everything you need
- Silent and powerful filter
- Good LED lighting system and hood
- Good size for a quite a few fish
- Scratch-resistant glass
- Comes with an aquarium eBook
Cons
- Glass could be more impact resistant
- Quite heavy
Landen 60P 17.1 Gallon Rimless Low Iron Aquarium Tank
While the first product we looked at was an all-in-one aquarium kit, this model is just the tank itself. Although it is only a tank, we need to point out that it is a high-quality tank, not particularly cheap.
Review
What we really appreciate about the Landen 60P 17.1 Gallon Rimless Low Iron Aquarium Tank is that it features a very low iron content in the glass. This provides maximum transparency.
This glass is so clear that when you have water and fish inside, you will barely be able to see the glass, almost like fish and water floating in open space. It’s a really cool look.
This is a rimless aquarium. It is all clear glass with no black or other colored rims. This helps provide a much more coherent look and a great view, which is not obstructed by intrusive black lines.
This is a 17.1-gallon tank, as advertised, with dimensions of 23.6 x 14.2 x 11.8 inches, a good size for a couple of goldfish and some plants, yet not so large that it takes up much space in your home.
It is also worth noting that the glass is e extra thick to ensure a very high durability level.
Pros
- Super clear
- Very durable
- No rims
- Great view
- Good size
Cons
- Tank only
- Quite expensive
Koller Products AquaView 3-Gallon Aquarium
Suppose you are looking for a small, simple, and affordable tank that can easily fit a single goldfish and looks good. In that case, this Koller Products AquaView 3-Gallon Aquarium is an excellent product to consider.
Review
This is a small 3-gallon tank, which admittedly is barely enough to fit a goldfish as is, although if you don’t add many plants, you should be able to provide an adequate living environment for a goldfish.
What is really cool about this tank is that it is a perfectly rounded cylinder, almost like a large can that is completely transparent. This 360° view is stunning.
It is worth mentioning that this tank is made with high-quality glass, and it is guaranteed not to leak.
What you might really like about the Koller Products AquaView 3-Gallon Aquarium is that it comes with an LED lighting system that features 7 colors to provide your fish tank with bright and colorful illumination. This LED lighting system has some really funky and cool transition features.
The Koller Products AquaView 3-Gallon Aquarium also comes with a small filter, just enough to keep the water in this small tank clean.
It’s an efficient and quiet filter that performs all necessary types of water filtration to keep your tank water clean and clear. The filter requires easy to change filter cartridges.
Pros
- Great 360° view
- Good for small spaces
- Nice filter included
- Awesome lighting system
- Fairly durable glass
- Excellent price
Cons
- Filter and light aren’t too durable
- Tight fit even for a single goldfish
Tetra Waterfall Globe Kit
Here we have another small tank that is ideal for a single goldfish. It has a unique design and comes with a few extras to get you started—all for a reasonable price.
Review
This tank is only 1.8 gallons in size, which, as you might be able to tell, is very small for a fish tank, although you should be able to make it work.
The upside to having a small aquarium is that you can place it virtually anywhere in your home or even on an office desk. The dimensions are 12 x 10.75 x 13.5 inches.
The tank is made of glass, which looks good and does not scratch easily. Due to its small size, the tank is not very heavy. The fact that it is a round tank with a 360° view is pretty cool.
What you may also like is the low-voltage and energy-efficient LED lighting. It’s nothing special, but more than good enough for this small tank.
The Tetra Waterfall Globe Kit has a small integrated filter system that provides a waterfall effect. It is more than powerful enough to process the tank’s water volume several times per hour. It uses easy-to-change cartridges as well.
Pros
- Space-saving design
- Durable glass
- Cool waterfall filter
- LED lighting included
- 360° design
Cons
- Various components have limited durability
- Super tight fit even for a single goldfish
