Good starter kit for the money

It's your standard 20 gallon glass tank. Unlike most reviewers, my glass lid is actually plastic. I suspect the company changed over after many complaints of broken lids during shipment. It's nice a heater is included, however preset heaters have a bad wrap for over heating and dying so I won't be using it. The LED lights are decent, but I wouldn't recommend them if you're planning on a heavily planted tank. The HOB filter is like none I've ever seen before. I'm not keen on it, and will probably change it in the future. I'll give it a go but I plan to switch it eventually. The intake is nice and buffered, but I don't like how the intake sponge is incased in the system. How are you suppose to clean it off debris? Overall, I bought the tank for the tank it's self, not all the extras. For the price it's good as most other starter kits- even tanks alone - start at much higher than this one, so I think it's a good deal.
