VIVOSUNAquaponic Fish Tank Hydroponic Cleaning Tank Fish Feeds Plants and Plants Clean Tank

Actually the piece was connected to under the top piece and I just didn’t see it lol.Works goodOnly good for aquatic plants though… so much water in the top part.I was so excited I didn’t even realize that I was missing a piece before I started setting it all up. Now it’s useless because I’m missing the part that actually moves the water up.***I added a bunch of my own deco as it only comes with a couple of white rocks.***

I decided to rehome my betta into this tank. It took me a few tries to get everything running smooth but it’s been up and going with no issues for over a week. I found the clay balls to be mildly dangerous and flooded my room once. You need to go through them on arrival and toss out any small enough to fit in the drain tube. They get stuck and cause problems. I found the best way to secure the tank into smooth operation was rocks around the drainage tube and a shaker ball over the tube itself. It blocks anything from jamming in it or closing it and removes the whirlpool drain whine, you can see and hear all of this explained in my video.The inside of the tank I added black gravel and some decor, the betta loves it. The filter isn’t so strong it hurts him Or sucks up his fins at all. The plants do seem to be doing a good job keeping the water quality good. I’m growing lemon thyme in mine, because I use it to cook.*all photos and video show this tank in use and are relevant to the review.

Pump broke and flooded the area I had it. I had set it up and had it running for a week. Left for work and came back to water everywhere.

The clay balls get stuck in the pump and have overflowed water everywhere several times as we tried to come up with different ideas to fix it.It is loud and keeps my daughter awakeThe design of the pump is horrible and the suction cups dont work. Maybe I am a complete idiot and missing something but the directions and design stinkCan not get the water level to stay high enough in the tank it pulls out half the water and even filling it up the levels just seem to be weird.You can't actually buy plants and put them in there as the dirt gets in the water. Instructions on how folks do that would be helpful. Washing the dirt does not work as it still leaves dirt in the water.Positive...nothing.Good concept maybe other tanks are different but this one is trash

It was very strange that there were no proper instructions to set it up.I tried to use sprouting seeds in it and it was a huge disaster - rotten seeds and brown water and a clogged filter. Now I just have a few vines growing around the sides and it works much better.At the end of the day I’m happy with this product but I really wish there would’ve been a little bit more direction on how to set it up and run it. I needed to buy several more products in order to make this work, including a heater, a vacuum and water conditioner.
