I have the 14 gallon version of the Aqueon cube and I really like it. The construction is a little sloppy like all Aqueon stuff, but it hasn't leaked or anything so far so I'm happy. The good thing about the 6 gallon size is that it will probably be less awkward to set up lighting for, with mine the stock mount for the Fluval Nano doesnt quiiiiittteeee reach where I would ideally like it.

One of my LFS carriers a manufacturer called aquarium masters. Economical but well done, they also use black silicone with a skilled hand. I really enjoy it.

Aqueon is sloppy. Even my 6 foot 150 was sloppy. But I’ve never had one leak

I have a similar Aquatop Cube and have the same problem with the Nano light.

Yeah, I feel like the cubes look better with a medallion style light, but the few of those there are that are made for freshwater are built with a smaller size tank in mind.

Do it and make sure you have the app. If you spend more than 60 bucks they will give you 20 dollars off at the register

well...not why I wanted to grab another tank, but my 10g quarantine sprung a leak...my poor honey gourami and pygmy corys had to deal with coming home yesterday and then being transferred into a different tank today...seem to be doing ok though...I have no idea what happened...that tank has had water in it for a month with no issues...ugh...oh well...at least there was a sale 🙂

I started with one of the 3- gallon cube tanks from petco.  It's a nice looking little tank.  Now I have an aqueon 5.5 gallon that has the bottom rim but not the top.  Just make sure the lid supports are correct.  Mine weren't and I had to contact aqueon to get a new set.

I had a Betta with live plants in the 3-gallon.  Not knowing how to keep a planted tank balanced, I had algae problems eventually.  Switching the light to finnex planted plus clip is what caused the issues along with following Seachem's fertilizer schedule.IMG_20200706_171914608.jpg.f8110254993bfc643044d8f3795c8abc.jpgIMG_20201005_124141814.jpg.a879c82fa178e22088e7008dc2427cb4.jpg

My current tank is the "rimless" 5.5-gallon from Aqueon.  It still has the bottom rim.  Honestly, it looks nice but if I was going to do it again, I would probably get a tank with a rim.  My water is hard and the rim would hide the mineral deposits.
