works as advertised,
Got this for $30 (yes thirty!) at walmart.It does what it says, runs silently! I was very impressed since this is the first tank I've had in many years...I remember the old NOISY pumps. Very nicely designed, filter and light fit and finish is great. The light heats up the water quite a bit, it got too warm for my goldfish...but you can replace the bulb with a flourescent which won't throw out so much heat.Has the newest features in the filter system, a "bio wheel" which helps break down toxins in the water.Do be careful with the power cord routing, it can get scraped/frayed when you are replacing the top. Might be best on a desk or high up where you can see it from 3 or four sides, rather than just the front, because of the shape...
