Aquacube 5 Litres

[hollyp0p]

It may have been called an aqua box.....I can't remember but they are adorable little 5 litre setups we have at work at the moment for £24.99.....I could using discount get one for about £18.....just wondering if anyone knew anything about them, or any other places they are sold??

Are they the ones with the internal filter and little drawer thing in the base?

They have a filter....not sure about 'drawer' part

Yeah they have a drawer in the mini stand. Decent light, with mini LED for moonlight is a cool feature. Filters quiet good, and you could add a lil heater if you wanted a couple of tetras or something. IMO, i still think theyre only suitable for bettas personally....

That's cool I have a spare heater at the moment, and tbh I would only consider using one for another single male betta anyways *addicted to the little suckers*

Yeah, they're nice tanks, the only reason I haven't got one yet is because I'm not really sure I like the filter (most tanks of that type have HOBs to save internal space). But for £18, I don't think it would matter much anyway.

what is an HOB filter? (sorry bit of a n00b)
Do they have to be cycled like sponge filters?
Nah that's what I thought.....£18 is hardly anything, and hopefully it wouldn't make too much of a meal of electricity bills!

You could keep a betta in that at a very very tight squeeze.

Gonna have to re-read the box i swear the tank is like 20x20x20 which works out to be 8 litres not 5.5 .....

Not in work til monday now though...if they have any left!

what is an HOB filter? (sorry bit of a n00b)

It's a filter that hangs on the side of the tank as opposed to being internal or external. Sort of middle ground between the two.
