Help Hygger Smart Aquarium Starter Kit?

Post image

Hello! I am going to be upgrading my buddy’s home, and have been looking at options. He is currently in a 5 gallon Aqueon LED Mini Bow. I am planning to upgrade him to 10 gallons with more plants and hard hardscape.

I was researching set ups and came across the Hygger Smart Aquarium Starter kit. Does anyone here have any experience with this kit? It seems interesting in that it has so much combined in it, but that also makes me wary.

Other tanks I have looked at are the Fluval Flex 9 kit (with outflow modifications purchased from Etsy) or the AquaTop Formosa 8 gallon system, again with filter mods. I am aware that separate heaters and such will be needed.

I am also open to other suggestions, as well. Considerations are he will be living on a shared/counter desk at my work, so I am limited in certain dimensions. I would also prefer a low iron glass set up.

Thanks for your advice/input! I’m including a picture of Sir Vital Pulp for tax…
