Hi everyone,

I'm looking into getting a wall hung aquarium but don't want to put too much stress on the walls of my rented appartment, so i've narrowed it down to one of the cute relaxsea compact range tanks. Does anyone here have any experience of these aquariums, or know what it takes to hang one from the wall? Thought the colours were pretty cool!

My worry is that there is no filtration so thefore you will have to do water changes all the time.

The relaxsea models have filtration built in.

It runs an under gravel plate with a small powerhead up top and over a sponge and bio bead media before dropping back into the aquarium Also has a build in air wand, dual timers. Only problem I find with these is that the algae is a pain to clean cause of the small opening at the top, but if you use a algae scrapper, like the kent ones, its very easy. I've actually never run into any problems with these as I have with some other brands.
