there really isn't much difference other than, lighting, and the fact that that kit comes with a protein skimmer which is basically useless unless its saltwater. that kit is overprices for what it is, which is an empty tank with a backfilter, then they tack on extra for including a heater(most heaters will come with a digital thermo), protein skimmer. The protein skimmer will run you maybe 20ish same for thermo. That tank depending on the brand and type can be much cheaper.
Hell you can get this one https://www.amazon.com/Hygger-Aquarium-Starters-Undetachable-Background/dp/B07R7BD9GW/
Looks much nice, and its longer so shrimps have more ground.
Don't be worried about built in filters, just buy a large sponge from home depot or lowes or somewhere of that sort, cut out the intake shape and cover it up!
For a pricey 7-8 gallon tank needing only some plants and not much else! https://www.amazon.com/Hygger-Aquarium-Starters-Undetachable-Background/dp/B07R7BD9GW/ref=sxin_7_ac_d_pm?ac_md=5-2-QWJvdmUgJDEwMA%3D%3D-ac_d_pm&cv_ct_cx=10+gallon+tank&dchild=1&keywords=10+gallon+tank&pd_rd_i=B07R7BD9GW&pd_rd_r=11b6e85e-6d1b-4a28-828f-800a07d01c21&pd_rd_w=Naj20&pd_rd_wg=rYtWW&pf_rd_p=6fa2c4b2-cf77-4ff1-a22d-406e154f5c4b&pf_rd_r=1AJGAFDFEN6Q2ZNBGRJD&psc=1&qid=1598130818&sr=1-3-22d05c05-1231-4126-b7c4-3e7a9c0027d0
I want to get that when I get some more room on my desk. Plenty of spots for biofilm and algae to grow! and it only needs a carpet or some ground plants.
for the classic I want to aquascape it myself just get a regular 10 gallon long style.
something like this, but then you need to aquascape driftwood etc.
Amazon helps, its has pictures how to disassemble filter. DIY without waiting for customer service is much faster. You should have manual for it too.
