Is this Swell 60cm Tropical LED Aquarium Kit 54L easy to set up and maintain?

Yes, this Swell 60cm Tropical LED Aquarium Kit 54L is very easy to set up and maintain. Before you set it up, make sure you have a strong, purpose-built stand or cabinet - a fish tank with 54 litres of water in it is deceptively heavy! It's also important that you place your fish tank inside the floating base provided; this is a rectangular, plastic trim that supports your aquarium and prevents leaks.

After that, clear a flat and level space for your aquarium to sit, before then installing your LED light into the hood, the filter and heater on the inside of the aquarium. Only turn on your filter and heater AFTER you have filled your aquarium with water. If you're adding gravel, sand, decorations or plants, it's easier to do this prior to adding water. Once your Swell 60cm aquarium is up and running it's time to let it cycle - check out our aquarium help guides to learn more about this essential process.

Set up completed, all that's left to worry about is maintenance, which is incredibly simple thanks to the aquarium's easily removable lid. This makes common maintenance tasks like water changes, cleaning and algae scraping not just easy but speedy too, meaning you can spend more time looking at your fish than cleaning up after them.

What else should I buy with this Swell 60cm Tropical LED Aquarium Kit 54L?

The best thing about this Swell 60cm Tropical LED Aquarium Kit 54L is that it comes with everything you'll need to jump into the fishkeeping hobby and get your first fish tank up and running.

It might also be worth stocking up on some fish food and dechlorinator for that time when your supplies from this kit inevitably run out.
