nah, but id advise having carbon in. You do get ones with carbon. Good for keeping ammonia levels down.

Pets At Home tank there, nice starter kit lol, heres my tank tho! also Adam, fluval 3 would b too big for ure tank, is it in sunlight if so, move it out the way, u'll still need to do regular water changes but with a fluval 1 in there and dont feed them that much, u'll find that the water will become cleaner,
