Fish R Fun Deco O Fish Tank White 20L

I have purchased two 20L Deco O Fish Tanks now, one to keep and one as a gift. The first we had no problems with, the second arrived with its contents (stones, filter etc) moving around freely in the tank which had caused damage to the tank itself. No problems getting it replaced so that was a relief. Both tanks I chose are white because I think it looks fresh and increases reflective light within the tank. The image is honest and what you see is what you get, the Deco O round tank, a touch sensitive light unit (fits very neatly in the lid), the pump and filter unit, some white pebbles, some smaller black stones, and a plastic plant. All you have to add is water and fish! We used all the given accessories for our first set up. The filter unit isn't the most attractive thing, but it can be 'disguised', and I liked the way the connecting tube can be very neatly slotted behind little brackets on one side of the tank so you cant even tell its there. I was impressed by the sleek finish and the unique shape for a tank, its very well designed and made. Once full of water it is very weighty, not unbearable but its worthwhile taking the water to the tank rather than carry it full. I don't use chemicals in the water, I fill clean buckets of tap water and let it sit for 48hrs to de chlorinate, and that is all. I live in central Scotland so we have good water and I think this helps. We added our two older larger fantails (who had been living happily in a bagel jar for 2 years) and two tiny new fantails and they have thrived in here. Personally I wouldn't add more than that for fear of them being over crowded, they look small at first but grow steadily. I feed them a couple of pinches of micro pellet food, just enough that they can eat without much falling to the bottom. The tank sits in a bright but not direct light spot which is away from heat sources and I can easily get 3 months between water changes. I clean the tank with a soft sponge and some Ecover washing up liquid and rinse it thoroughly with the shower, I also dismantle and rinse the filter components in hot water until clear. I had noticed with our first water change when cleaning the black stones that the colour was coming off, they must be painted. I removed them and replaced then with a self coloured aquarium gravel instead. I also noticed that on one tank the pump was very quiet and on the other very noisy. It was remedied by packing out the cavity within the pump casing with some padding. I don't use the touch sensitive lights very often, it sits on 'moonlight' most of the time, but 'sunlight' is bright and makes an amazing feature of the tank when days are dull or we have guests. The gentle bubbling of the water is nice to listen to and watch, although is probably more suited to a living area than a bedroom as it can be a bit loud when the filter is very clean. The fish love chasing the bits of food that get caught in the bubbles and lifted to the surface. I actually love this tank and that saying something, I'm contemplating another for myself and maybe the larger size, I think its money well spend and at a fraction of the cost of other brands. Considering it has cost me very little in time, effort, and money it gets a full 5 stars *****.

This tank looks the part, east to set up & probably is alright for the price. I have to agree with others comments & say the filter is noisy! Bought this for my bedroom and it’s a bit irritating ngl. I’ll probably purchase a new one in time, it’s quite flimsy too! Overall though it’s decent and looks modern :)

Absolutely highly recommend this tank for beginners and novice and experienced fish keepers the tank is a perfect size it’s bigger than I thought which means I can add lots of fish at the moment I have six tetras one pleco and one betta and I can add more later on once the tank is settled the filter is super quiet I don’t even know it’s on the midnight blue light makes the tank look so surreal especially at night time I’ve been so chilled out just watching the fish and they’re beautiful thank I had to buy a heater for it so that it can be a tropical fish tank and it hasn’t been an issue the fish are happy and I’m happy would highly recommend this

I purchased the 20 litre tank after much debate do I go for the 10 will the 20 be to big but so glad I went the 20 it’s not massive and it fits on my coffee table which is only small but fits perfectly. (The little square nest tables) Very easy to set up but do have to take it all out to clean! Which takes about an hour in total every two weeks. My first tank did have a slow leak in the bottom but the company were very good kind and helpful and sent out a replacement which has been fine since. It is good value for money and is a good size as you can see for the fish I have in there and if you’re looking for a first rank as this was mine it’s a good starting place. They are very happy and have had the tank for some time now I have learnt how to look after my fish and how to clean the tank. The night light is lovely and relaxing and the top two on off is great (sometimes gets funny to respond but take out lid clean light remove screws etc and place back in and touch sensors works again no prob) only niggle really is as others say the little black filter is quite loud but once the tv is on can’t hear it and do get use to the sound. So not horrendous and certainly wouldn’t put me off buying if that’s what your thinking about. I have brought replacements filters for it and they were easy to purchase (cheaper on eBay) and to fit. I do have to tape the pipes and lead at the back in place so it doesn’t come away and show but again not a big issue. Over all a lovely looking tank and great value for money from a great company purchased from.

V stylish tank but as others say it is noisy as air pump is cheap only way to avoid this is having submerged filter but that spoils appearance as has to be mounted by surface. Noise is like a loud fridge hum. Would be too loud for bedroom or somewhere you spend a lot of time. Am considering buying new pump as placing on sponge did not make any quieter! Top tip only feed fish flake the size of their eye every 3 days as otherwise you can over feed sadly lost 2 fish due to over feeding as fed them each day.
