What we liked

  • + The 5 gallon size is a safer beginner volume than tiny desktop kits
  • + Three lighting colors let you shift the mood between white and tinted looks
  • + Filter is included, so the tank can start cycling on day one

Trade-offs

  • - Newer brand with little track record, so long-term part support is uncertain
  • - Color lighting modes favor looks over the output needed for dense planting
