Glass top slides right off. This is the easiest of our 3 aquariums to keep clean.

The light has a hinge and folds up. The top is easily removed, it just sits on top really.

The lid removes very easily you do not have to remove the light when you clean.

The whole light flips up and you can remove the glass easily with the light flipped up or down.. however I do personally take it off during maintenance, because it always seems to get in my way.

Yes, the sanitizer light will automatically go off after the set time and you can leave your brush in the case. Works great. I like this one much better than the ones with AAA batteries. The battery life seems to last much longer.

The black part on the top does come off, but it does not disassemble further than that. Depending on what is clogging it, you may be able to just rinse it out or you may have to pull pieces out with a pliers, but you should be able to clean it without too much hassle.

You unscrew the bottom but which allows the globe to slide off. Its not difficult.......the fixture looks very good and is perfect as my porch light.

The lid is spring loaded so will stay open while pouring. It can not be removed but the opening is large enough to allow for cleaning when necessary.

I too never take the lid off. It is very easy to clean without having to do so. You will love this coffeemaker!!!

Unplug is the first thing. Then we just carefully wipe out the part where the blade is with a damp paper towel. The lid can be washed in warm soapy water. Just make sure you dry it well.

Thanks for all the answers, folks. :) I spoke with Tetra, and they said they sell different versions of this tank. The version sold at Walmart has a detachable cube light and filter, so it would be a handy-dandy little plastic cube I could rinse in the sink. It appears this one does not have a detachable light. This one costs less than the Walmart version.

It is easy to just wipe off. Only issue I had with it is that the lids all broke. They refuse to close properly.

Press down on the Release button and then pull off. It is a bit rough at 1st but you will get it. Also, it helps if you hold opposite diagonal corners to pull off the lid.

I don't think it's that easy, but I believe it has a separate cap that can be used instead, once the water has been treated, and the cap with the light has it's own carrying case. My daughter is the one who used it for several months. She did not report ever having a problem with it turning on accidentally.

The lid screws off then there is a sifter with a piece of plastic/tape over it - Peel back that tape/plastic & it comes right out of the sifters(&sometimes; maybe a little too much comes out so be careful!!) :)

Hi, do you mean the black section that has the green button? I personally have never taken that whole thing "apart" I just soap and rinse and is clean. If by Lid you mean the cap that screws in, mine recently had the silver part come off I think it was due to putting it in the dishwasher.

No! The lid comes completely apart for cleaning and use a bottle brush for the bottle.

The Lid does suck to clean so rinse while everything is still wet with clear water by putting the lid on, shaking vigorously and pouring it out while holding the button. Even with that, My drinks were starting to taste like dirt because of stuff collecting in the closure. I used a piece of wire to keep it open and put the top in the dishwasher which seems to have done the trick since it was able to get into all the nooks and crannies that aren't exposed or accessible﻿ when not held open.

Yes, the top comes off easily. You can open the top or you can press down on a little part in the back hinge-area and take the entire lid off fairly easily.

Very easy the lid just slides off, and wash regularly. Not intended for dishwasher.
