Is the light detachable fromt the tank? I want to be able to rinse the cube in the sink, which would be difficult if the light doesn't come off.

I don't think so. It does make a little difficult to clean, but I just extend it all the way up

The light is separate from the tank and from the stand and the lid. Each piece is separate.

The light does come off, but the electrical plug remains on the back of the aquarium. I don't think you can remove the plug which is attached to the back of the aquarium. For additional questions call 1-800-526-0650 or go online at www.tetra-fish.com.

Thanks for all the answers, folks. :) I spoke with Tetra, and they said they sell different versions of this tank. The version sold at Walmart has a detachable cube light and filter, so it would be a handy-dandy little plastic cube I could rinse in the sink. It appears this one does not have a detachable light. This one costs less than the Walmart version.

The whole tank sits in the base and is completly detachable. Just lift cube out of base for easy clean up.

So you have to take the tank off the bowl. That to me is apart. The bowl stays place but to secure all the parts the tank has to come off. A few screws and the larger nut on the bottom. Nothing challenging. Just a little wet but nothing a towel or two can't solve.

The Light Disconnects from the bubbler. You need an air pump to run the bubbler and the light runs off of a plug. So yes, you can disconnect the light without disturbing the bubble function.

No it does not come apart for cleaning. The tank is seperate for cleaning but the unit does not come apart & the nozzel for misting doesn't come off,

The white lights can be turned off during operation but if you turn off the blue lights, the entire unit shuts off. I bought this model in December 2013 and had to return it 2 days after receiving it. It leaked water from the center seam where the top & bottom sections meet making a big mess. Thankfully I caught it before it damaged my wood table. If you decide to take the risk & buy this unit, place it on a large plate or shallow bowl in case you get a defective one like mine. If you read the reviews, several other people had this same problem so it would appear to be a manufacturing issue. Hope this helps.

It sits on the back next to the light. But if I might give some advice about the filter, it has a high/low flow button on the bottom. I had mine on high and my little fish kept getting sucked up and they couldn't get out so I really recommend you keep it on the low setting in the small tank.

Absolutely you can remove it and then put it back on if you decide to later. It just helps to filter the light a little better. We bought this for my 11 year old as she is a budding photographer and film maker. She loves this set and it's huge. We have one entire room of house dedicated for the studio.

I didn't realize it was a blue light only, I thought it was a regular white light and blue light tank. I only have my betta in the bowl. You would have to ask an aquarium shop if the breeed of glo fish is a jumper or not. That is my best advice.

Not exactly sure what piece you're referring to, but I did not remove anything before start up. the bulb should not be exposed to water.

You can't really turn the light off, but you can remove the bulb and the fountain will still run. I took the light out of mine for exactly the same reason.

The lights can be turned off. It runs constantly until the liquid is gone or you shut it off.It shuts off automatically when the liquid is gone.

I don't think it's that easy, but I believe it has a separate cap that can be used instead, once the water has been treated, and the cap with the light has it's own carrying case. My daughter is the one who used it for several months. She did not report ever having a problem with it turning on accidentally.

Yes, the light can be turned off. In fact, you have to turn it on if you want the light show. It runs constantly until the water/oil runs out. This seems to take 6-7 hours (I never actually timed it). It holds about 1/2 cup of water.

The pouch comes partially out but is still connected to the tube. I have never tried to completely disconnect it. I don't think it is designed to be removed. I drain it after a run by turning it upside down and draining it into the sink. It seems to work okay but it is never completely dry. I wouldn't put anything but water in it.

I assume so, since that is the cube that comes with the 5 gal. tank. Beware though, the lights don't last very long. On mine the lights burned out quickly. The center bulb after only about 6 mos., and the rest shortly after the warranty expired. Guess that's par for the course nowadays. They could make the lights replaceable, but instead one has to purchase a whole new cube for $50, which is about 40% of a new one. It's a nice tank, but unless and until they have replacement lights, I would not recommend buying one again.

The tank lifts off the base. The tank does not disassemble. I have had no problems with any residue forming inside tank or base. I only use distilled water. Other units I have experienced the "slime" you speak of but not with this unit. No filter, no residue, and trouble free operating makes this unit perfect for me.

Please make sure the hot water switch on the back of the unit is on. The lights will be on when unit is either heating or cooling the water inside the tanks. Once the water reaches the appropriate temperature, lights will go off.
