Has anyone tried this kit out?

I was considering upgrading to it from my 10g.

Is it really that great of a deal? Asides from the filter. I dont do aqueon filters and get cheap Cascade HOB filters.

Personally I would rather have an aqueon filter over a cascade. I have had too many problems with cascade filters over the years, especially leaky canisters.

Aside from that considering it includes everything and the price looks good I would even consider one myself, but I have other plans.

I never had anything but problems with Aqueon filters. Cascade however for me has not only worked beautifuly on my 10g, but is the quietest filter I think I've had.

I got that kit for $60 on clearance at PetSmart last year. I'm using an AC70 for a filter and probably will put one of my XPs on there down the road once I'm done using it as a QT. Depending on how much you pay for it I think it's a good deal considering it comes with a good light fixture for a low tech planted tank, though. (I may turn mine into a vivarium for a pair of Chahoua geckos, though...)

Here is my 25 planted kit. I did change the filter to an Aqua Clear 50 (hated the Aqueon). I'm going to post this again elsewhere as I really need some help with a couple of issues and I don't want to veer off in this thread.
