The filter in the marina tank is another one with carbon cartridges and not much else, I'm afraid
I'll post a few tank options, see what you think.
The Aqua range are the perfect first aquarium, a very affordable kit that includes lighting and internal filtration to get you started in the fish keeping hobby.

This is Maidenhead Aquatics own brand. The filter is one I had a few years ago, it contians a sponge with a hloow filled with carbon. Just throw the carbon away and use the sponge.
You would need to buy a heater though.
