This tank comes with....
- A pump and filter. It is quiet other than the water movement, which is actually quite relaxing. You need to change this monthly from what I understand. It has a low and hi setting.
- A heater. It is not adjustable but seems to be holding the temp just fine for our Tropical GloFish.
- A Color Fusion light. It cycles through the colors, you can press the button to halt in on a color if you wish. There is not an off button, so if you want the light off at night you will need to either unplug it or put it on a timer.
So if you are counting that is 3 outlet openings that you will need and you should probably have this going to a ground fault outlet, which we did.
- Comes with a few Color Fusion decorations and a really nice sea anemone decoration.
-A net, a little packet of water conditioner, and a small packet of fish food.
-A Thermometer - ours was missing this, but the company was really helpful in getting that resolved.
What you will need to get:
- You will need to get some more decorations for sure. No gravel comes in the kit. I bought a total of 34 lbs of gravel, All black for the base and then 2 - 2lbs of color glo gravel, and 2 small bags of gem rocks.
- More fish food and water conditioner
- A gravel vacuum
- A background for the tank. I used black Cricut Vinyl.
- The FISH :)
April 2019 EDIT:
After an estimated 9000 hours the light has quit working. We leave the light on about 12-14 hours a day and shut it off at night. I am attempting to contact company to see about a replacement. I am not finding what they state the life of the light should be, however, other companies that sell similar lights claim a guarantee for 50000 hours. I will let you all know what I find out.
After finding a couple different contact emails with various responses one sent me a replacement light. We have the new one on a timer that is one 8 hours per day. We have a llevo and 5 Flo fish in the tank. And pleco like dark to get out and eat that algea so that is why the light settings
