Top Fin Ease. New all glass tank from Top Fin.

[@SmokeNScales]

Hey I’ve got this one! Just haven’t set it up yet.

[@courtneymacdonald1804]

I feel like the filter is barely moving the water. There’s like 2 slow drips and that’s the only “flow” I’m seeing..

[@mcuevas23]

thanks for this video!! helped a lot

[@Theofficalmetrochannel]

What gallon is that?

[@aquariumconversations8420]

3 gallon

[@aliciascruffies9817]

Thank you so much💐. This is my first tank, and I had no idea how to put the filter on. Turns out you just plop it in there and it hangs.😆😂

[@aquariumconversations8420]

Awesome glad it's working

[@robertdesimone3270]

Hey thanks, great video. Is it a single power cord for both light & filter?

[@aquariumconversations8420]

If I remember correctly it's two cords. One for each

[@livefromtheground7274]

This was a pain for me, I hate extension cords of any kind! It’s groovy looking at I got it for $29 at Petco and it looks awesome on my nightstand.

[@queenangela7544]

I like this tank, but the most disappointing feature is that if you choose to use a heater, the lid will not sit right on top of the tank! Why suggest a heater to control temps when the lid will not stay put properly? This is one of the biggest complaints that people have with this tank. I've had mine for 2 months and yet to put a beta in it. I wish I could find an alternative lid. @Aquarium Conversations, do you still like this tank?

[@SaltyKetchup4960]

I'm doing research on this tank because I'm going to be getting it for my betta.

[@aquariumconversations8420]

Nice!!

[@dreambabiesnursery434]

Just purchased this and trying to figure out what to do with the heater cord.. The only drawback I see to this tank is the lack of space in the back designated or cut out for more equipment (like a heater) .. the only area designed for allowing wires/cords is strictly for the filter. As a betta specified aquarium (needing 78/80 temp), I’m a tad bit surprised that an additional open space was not planned when designing the hood given a heater wasn’t built into or attached with the filtration system. Any suggestions?! Do I try to cut out or make a tiny space somehow - similar to what they did for the cord - or try to extend the space they have by cutting a little more so that space is bigger and could them fit both cords? This would have been an A+ rating except for this dilemma- and it is driving me nuts!!! Any advice is welcome!!! What have people done? Right now my lid isn’t set correctly as the cord won’t allow a flush closing.

[@aliciascruffies9817]

I just bought all the supplies for my future beta, and I realized that☹. My dad is going to drill a hole though.🙂

[@PRNena]

I’ve been waiting for your review of this tank! Love your videos!!

[@aquariumconversations8420]

Thank u!

[@mosstef56]

Even though this tank says it’s only 3 gallons, the actual swim area / where water is looks bigger than the top fin 5 gallon engage white tank. What is your opinion on comparing them? The back wall filter on the 5 gallon looks like it takes up a lot of tank space. I wonder how many gallons it actually holds in front of wall.

[@aquariumconversations8420]

Good point I'm guessing 4 to 4.5 gallons.

[@mosstef56]

Aquarium Conversations thanks for replying! I’ve been debating between these two tanks on which one to get. If you had to choose only one, which one do you prefer? Or what is your all time favorite rimless 5 gallonish?

[@aquariumconversations8420]

@@mosstef56 absolutely! Good question. I never had it but I would have really enjoyed the fluval spec 5. I had the 2.5 spec and really enjoyed it. The marineland portrait was a good tank as well. I enjoyed the 5 gallon top Fin tank more than the 3 gallon. Aqueon makes a 5.5 gallon tank that is pretty good too.

[@aquariumconversations8420]

@@mosstef56 waterbox makes a rimless 6 gallon tank. That would be nice.

[@mosstef56]

Aquarium Conversations I’m looking at the fluval spec v since petco is doing $30 off $100 it’s down to $70. Not too bad. I love the look of waterbox tanks but I have to had a lid for my African dwarf frogs and mystery snails. Also an issue I’m running into with these awesome seamless small tanks, hardly any of them come with lids and if they do then the filter is crap 😅.

[@dollin9515]

most people will say bettas can go in tanks 2.5 gallons or larger but 5 gallons is preferable as a minimum

@@katiehubble7544 I wouldn't buy it again. The lid warps and the pump for the filter started fading out less than a year. Piece together your own tank and you'll be happier.

Thanks for the review, I am buying one this week, I enjoy collecting Top Fin aquariums, especially now... they are creating new tanks and made with glass instead of acrylic. Hoping lights on this nano tank can support floating Horrn wort plant for my Betta. Cheers from Bend Or

[@kristenstites4418]

How do I know what setting to have the filter at? It doesn’t say in the instructions. I set it toward the bigger part of the arrow, so you think that should be ok?

[@aquariumconversations8420]

That should be fine. Those filters are designed not to have a high flow

[@PsychoAxeMan]

It's an inspiring tank..

[@mydeadsea]

top fin definitely stepped up their game a bit. the last 2 tanks I got that were topfin were glass which is always nice

[@hannahs3690]

do you know how you would put a filter in this tank? there doesn't seem yo be any openings on the lid for wires to go in and out of.

[@aquariumconversations8420]

I would probably use an internal filter. I've used them before in smaller tanks.

[@hannahs3690]

@@aquariumconversations8420 oh gosh, I just realized I said filter. I meant heater! my bad.

[@aquariumconversations8420]

@@hannahs3690 No problem. I haven't decided if I'm going to use the filter that came with the tank. So there should be room for a heater if I do that. Even if the kid sits up a little I still recommend using a heater.

[@hannahs3690]

@@aquariumconversations8420 thank you very much!

[@mwm3502]

I bought one of these recently and have been cycling it to prepare for a betta. Unfortunately, I am having issues with water leaking down the back of the tank. It looks like the filter sitting up against the back is somehow pulling water up and over the edge. Otherwise, the tank seems to work great for me.

[@marieward513]

I had a leaking problem too. I suspect that's why it's not listed on Petsmarts' website. The issue is that the lid does not go down all the way, so condensation sneaks out. I put two heavy things on top of it, and now I don't have any leaking or condensation issues. The point is, you shouldn't have to, so I hope they fix that, but other than that I really love this tank!

[@KristinShawy]

I saw your comment on hickster's vid so I was waiting for your upload lol. It's definitely a lot better than the top fin bettaflo 2.0 that I own and that other cylindrical top fin bettaflo 3.5 gallon. Love the wood theme. Can't wait to see what you do with it! Happy Thanksgiving!!
