Any 5g full kits that people actually like?

[threnjen]

I know everyone hates the pre-made kits, but I want to put a 5g on my bathroom counter, and some of the 5g kits with the filter in the hood are at least attractive as a countertop piece. I like the decorative look of an all-in-one like the Eclipse 5g Hexagon. But do they all totally suck? Are there any that are worth a dang?

I actually like my eclipse.. You can put a good cfl in for plants.. The filter is not all bad, I'd like to think the bio wheel helps! Be perfect for some shrimpies and scarlet badis or cpd's! I use it as a qt..

We bought the aquaone nano 40. It falls just short of 5 gals but it's a lovely little tank.

I had a 5 gal Chi that I really liked; wouldn't put anything in there other than a betta and/or shrimps though due to the dimensions. I had a betta in there and he seemed to enjoy it.

Fluval Spec series is really good from everything I've seen. Don't have one myself yet though, but will be getting a pair of the 5g. Fluval also has a 4g one, view I think.

Perfect Thanks guys, this gives me a few tanks to check out.

Not planning much for it don't worry, probably just a shrimp tank.

I want a shrimp tank in my bathroom! Actually I just want a shrimp tank in general...

I started with 2 RCS and now I have over 50. I can't do anything with them. My gf won't let me sell them, feed them to baby's to my fish or put a betta in the tank because it will eat the babies. They are just multiplying lol.

The 5.5 kit at petsmart by Topfin isn't bad. I bought one for my kids to have a betta and some shrimp. I bought a 25 watt heater and just put in a 5 dollar CFL from the aquarium section at walmart instead of having the incandescent light.
