Does anyone know how big the opening at the top of the 6-gallon tank is? It looks very small. And has anyone had any problems getting décor and plants in and out of the tank?

It's not that small, actually. We use a syphon to clean it and it's easy enough. We are able to get plants and decor in without any issues. Maybe 4x4 in terms of inches.

About 4(3/4)" x 6(3/4)"Once you get everything in it will look great. Mine did however condensate enough to ruin my LEDs. I would recommend sealing the plastic around the light with a little caulk before using.

opening is 5" X 7". Light is on an arm that swing up from this space. It is harder than a regular aquarium to get things in and out of and do maintenance with. Also, to get the best effect, the water should be filled to a level that brings it in contact with the top... so less surface area for gas exchange.

I don't know but it arrived in excellent condition, it was a gift for a grandson who thinks it's super! 6 months and he still enjoys it,,We believe it's fairly large opening after all it's cleaning and fish, right.

The entry top is a little small and cumbersome. The rectangular opening is approximately 5x7 inches. I was able to get a larger piece of driftwood in there. Just remember not to fill it very much before trying to place decor or plants...water displacement is a lot when you stick an arm in there! Also, it's a little hard to get stray leaves out of the tank when cleaning it. But, it's a beautiful tank, and worth the set up hassle!

I would say it's approximately 8 x8. We have not had any trouble getting plants or fish in and out of the tank. Overall we love this tank.

It is about 5 by 7 inches. I don't have a problem putting decor in but cleaning the tank can be a bit awkward when you completely empty it. I love the look of the tank so it is not a big deal to me.

The opening on top of the tank is approx. 7 inches wide and 5 inches deep. It takes a little more time to decorate the tank with plants, etc. but is really not that difficult if you are patient. After reading several reviews of the tank I decided to take a chance a few months ago and am not disappointed. The tank looks beautiful in the corner of our family room and we have gotten many comments on it from guests. Just remember, it does take a little more time to keep it looking good. A HINT: I was getting tired of cleaning algae every few weeks and decided to buy some small snails. I have 5 small snails and not only are they fun to watch, but they keep the glass crystal clean!!

The opening is 5x7, I do not have any problem getting my hand inside to plant plants. The only issue you must take water out prior to putting your hand in to prevent the water from overflowing. The tank is beautiful and very nice quality.

Don't know if will fit in your coralife biocube? I have one in my 29 oceanic cube for my Dwarf Seahorse's.You need to have room inside the tank as well as above? it sticks up over the top 2-3 inches. Do your tank have a custom lighted top cover?Hope this was helpful..

If you look at the picture, two of the 4 sides have an opening near the top. The glass part of the tank does not go all the way up.

Java fern, Java moss and any type of Anubis will do fine in there. The tank has plenty of ligt it's just small for some species of plants.

Interesting question! The size of the hood I recently purchased is 11 1/2" in width and 23" length. It still fits within the lower edge of the frame. {The outside dimensions of my aquarium frame is 12 1/2" by 24 1/16"} It replaced an older Perfecto hood (over 18 years old) on this aquarium that had the exact size of 12 1/2" by 24". Now I wonder why this was done?

I have a 29 gallon and am barely getting by. Soft coral only, Some LPS,no Acans or SPS. I'm selling mine on eBay next week.Customer service is spotty at best.

Most have little pegs on the corners that you can remove to make it the right size for your aquarium. I have never had one that did not fit. I have 3-55 gal and one 40 gal aquariums

there is an opening on top, not very big. I have an automatic feeder clipped up top, not very pretty but it works. Every time the feeder turns, it will bang against one of the wall. It is like Pavlovian conditioning all the fishes swim close to the drop point. Anyways I found the filter design for this aquarium is not good enough, so I added Chemipure 5oz pack where the pump is now it works out great! No more cloudy water.

It is 14.5 inches high and 9 inches at its widest side. The light however isn't the greatest it shorted out in about 2 months and the air pump that came with it died one month in. What I did was I went to Walmart and bought a aqua culture 5 gallon air pump and a aqua culture 1 gallon starter kit and took the light from it and used it on the 3 gallon aquaris I have a total of 5 fish in the and they absolutely love it 2 glo tetras and a couple of very small danios and I put a live plant in it is definitelywell worth it the plastic is very hard to break I tried that right away and the fish love their home you should get one I hope I have helped have a very wonderful evening

i put artifical vines in it.. looks real nice... you could put a real plant in it, but if you do.. place some small pebbles in the bottom , since there are no water holes for drainage

It does a fantastic job for that size. Ours is a 55gal and keeps it sparkling. The best we've ever had. Let me know if u have any questions about install or cleaning. We had to watch a YouTube video on reconnecting after cleaning for first time.

Hey Patrick, I have 2 of these tank 9 gallon setups. The height is about 15-1/2 - 16" There are little feet on the bottom so the tank won't ruin the counter top. The little lamps are awesome, but not really well made. I wish the lamps were sold separately so I found put one on my little run-of-the-mill 2 gallon backup tank. Also, the company stands behind their product if you have any difficulty. Cheers!

I have it in a 30 gal classic rectangular tank and all my reef inhabitants seems to be happy with it. It is installed inside of the tank and submerges about 90%. It might look big in 12 gal, as it probably occupies about a 1/2 gal of aquarium space.

Sounds like a question about personal preference... Mine doesn't show too much because about 3/4 of it is covered by the frame around the top of my tank (54 gallon bow front). I would imagine a 5 gallon tank has a smaller frame around the top so more of it would show... The ideal tank would have nothing showing but this product makes life so easy it's worth it in my opinion... I did a lot of research and this was the best thing I could find. Your only other option would be building your own if you wanted something more discrete.
