Best for

Fish keepers who want a sump tank with a bit more light for easy plants.

Worth knowing

The in-cabinet sump trickles water over media, which strips injected CO2 faster than a canister, and the lid lights are aimed at showing off fish rather than growing plants.

What stands out

  • Nine sizes from 90 to about 335 litres
  • Brighter LED lid lights than HLFT
  • Front and rear glass flaps
  • Drain valve fitted
