Our take
Lifegard's current product page identifies SKU R460002-KIT as a 7.43-gallon Crystal Peninsula aquarium. The page lists 17.72 × 9.84 × 9.84-inch dimensions, low-iron beveled glass, a built-in side filter, pump and filter sock, LED light, heater, algae pad, directional jet, and leveling pad. The frozen source row instead carries model clue R461001, which is not normalized to the current SKU, and the historic ASIN B09MDK8LK1 is not verified as a current exact offer. Use the tagged SKU search and confirm the item label and included kit contents.
A shopper comparing a small glass peninsula kit who wants documented dimensions and named equipment, while checking that a current offer matches SKU R460002-KIT..
Not for a buyer who needs a ten-gallon-or-larger aquarium, a separate sump, or an exact current Amazon offer tied to the frozen R461001 clue.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The manufacturer identifies a current SKU and a 7.43-gallon nominal size with outside dimensions.
- The maker describes low-iron beveled glass and an integrated side-filter layout.
- A named pump, sock, LED, heater, and small maintenance accessories make the documented kit contents unusually specific.
What to weigh up
- The frozen model clue R461001 conflicts with the current maker SKU R460002-KIT, so the historical package crosswalk remains open.
- At 7.43 listed gallons, it does not meet ten-gallon-minimum finder paths; the source does not state measured operating-water volume.
- The page does not establish the performance of the pump, filter, heater, or light, nor does it verify the old Amazon ASIN as a current offer.

What the features mean for you
Use the current SKU and preserve the old-code mismatch
The current Lifegard product page names the Crystal Peninsula Series and identifies SKU R460002-KIT. The frozen source row has a different model clue, R461001. The current manufacturer page is sufficient to describe the R460002-KIT product, but it does not show that the older clue is equivalent. The existing Lifegard R460012 5.44-gallon aquarium is also a separate SKU and size. Keep those distinctions visible in the name and search destination. Before buying, compare the current item label and seller photographs with R460002-KIT rather than assuming a similar Lifegard Crystal title proves a match.
Plan with the maker's listed dimensions
Lifegard lists this model at 17.72 × 9.84 × 9.84 inches and gives it a nominal capacity of 7.43 gallons. These values help distinguish the compact peninsula format from other small Lifegard glass tanks, but they are product specifications rather than a measurement of water available after fill level and equipment are considered. The page does not establish the support capacity of a desk or shelf. Check the physical dimensions and support instructions for the exact current package before placing it. The finder correctly keeps this profile below ten gallons even though its listed footprint is larger than some desktop nano tanks.
Separate the glass body from the side-filter system
The manufacturer describes low-iron ultra-clear beveled glass and a built-in side filter. It also lists a Quiet One pump and filter sock. This is a side-filter arrangement inside the aquarium footprint, not evidence of a separate sump. The page names parts but does not provide a tested flow rate, filtration result, maintenance interval, or noise measurement, so the review does not infer performance. A buyer comparing filtration can use the documented layout and package names, then check replacement sock availability and the current instructions with the seller or maker.
Check what the kit lists, without assuming performance
The maker page lists a full-spectrum LED plant-growth light, UL-listed heater, algae pad, directional jet, and bottom insulation or leveling pad along with the filter components. That gives a concrete starting package, but it does not report wattage, control options, heater capacity, pump flow, or light output on the reviewed page. The word kit does not prove that every current seller package contains the same parts or revision. Confirm the box list for SKU R460002-KIT and make any equipment choice using the actual specifications supplied with the current offer; no livestock or plant suitability follows from the marketing labels alone.
Compare it by compact glass format, not by the historical ASIN
At a listed 7.43 gallons, R460002-KIT belongs in size-flexible glass comparisons and compact one-to-ten-gallon routes, but it stays outside every ten-gallon-minimum case. Its peninsula design, built-in side filter, and named kit parts differ from the 5.44-gallon R460012, whose source does not establish the same package. The historical Amazon ASIN is not a current exact-offer proof, so the affiliate link searches for the current manufacturer SKU. Confirm the item code and package revision if you need the light, heater, or a particular filter component.
What else to compare
Lifegard R460012 is a separate 5.44-gallon low-iron glass aquarium whose saved source does not establish this kit's equipment list. Seapora 59196 is a 5.5-gallon standard glass tank with maker-listed dimensions but no catalog-listed filter or light. These are different size and package profiles, not substitutes with interchangeable specifications.
Before you buy
What is the current Lifegard model code?
The manufacturer page identifies SKU R460002-KIT. The frozen source row's R461001 clue is different and remains unresolved.
How large is the aquarium?

What filtration does it use?
The page describes a built-in side filter with a Quiet One pump and filter sock. It does not describe a separate sump or report performance measurements.
What equipment does the manufacturer list?
The current page lists an LED light, heater, algae pad, directional jet, and bottom insulation or leveling pad in addition to the filter components. Confirm the seller's current box list.
Is historical ASIN B09MDK8LK1 a current exact offer?

The decision
R460002-KIT is a compact, maker-specified glass peninsula aquarium with listed dimensions, a built-in side filter, and a named equipment set. Its frozen R461001 clue and historical ASIN remain unverified against the current SKU.
