text: I've had this 3 gallon tank for exactly 1 year. The lights are still perfect. Filter still works perfectly. My major issues with the tank is the covering. The tank has a glass cover for the entire tank. It also has a thin black plastic cover for the filter. Unfortunately, the black thing plastic cover doesn't seal like the glass cover so it let's in dust, etc. With all that said, I LOVE THIS TANK. I want to upgrade from my current 3 gallon tank to a 10 gallon tank relatively soon. I won't be going with this brand for the 10 gallon tank because of the covers not sealing completely. With that being said, for someone looking for a fish thank that is small and great to have as a decoration, this 3 gallon tank is fantastic.
