Great find Chris, on the other end of the scale I didn't think this was to bad for the money, if anyone's in the market for something smaller.

I wonder what the built in filter is like. Had a look to see if they sold it separately but it would seem not.

I have a feeling they are cleair aquariums as I remember them doing a Nile, Pacific, Amazon and a Mekong and all of them had sumps. I might contact them and see what they say.

from their description.
"If you're planning on keeping really big fish in this aquarium, then you may want to increase your aquarium's filtration capacity by adding an external filter, like a Fluval FX or an AquaEl HyperMax 4500. These are two of the best external filters on the market and both can easily be stored away in this aquarium's spacious cabinet."

Anything larger than 100 gallons I always say use a sump, much easier for large amounts of filter media and heating.

If I was looking to get a larger aquarium I wouldn't buy any of these prebuilt tanks but go with a custom build with sump.
