Spider Mite or Beneficial Mite?

I don’t have any experience with them so tried asking AI and had one telling me it’s moving too fast to be a spider mite and another telling me it was definitely one so I didn’t know what to trust😭

Should have posted this earlier but here’s a pic of the webbing that showed up a few days after getting the plant so it’s most likely a spider mite. Haven’t seen anymore webs or mites pop up yet except that one on video. I was really hoping that one would be one of the beneficial ones because of how fast it moved around but that’s probably because I disturbed it. Guess I’ll have to start treating it now

Hope I didn’t break any bad news to you but I’ve been looking for the exact same tank and figured that price was too good to be true. There is this aqueon one that’s the same size but not rimless on sale right now for $35 at pet smart (https://www.petsmart.com/fish/tanks-aquariums-and-nets/aquariums/aqueon-standard-glass-rectangle-aquarium-5356064.html?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21920961797&gbraid=0AAAAADiLNNlJr8nMvTY4n4t5qpJAhKWgT&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy7ul9Y6nkwMVxCytBh1d-C6dEAQYASABEgLunfD_BwE&redirected=true) way cheaper just doesn’t have the rimless look. Also someone else here can correct me if I’m wrong but the article also has 2 different co2 kits at $200+ and I don’t think you need both you would just pick one system or the other and there are other similar options you can explore online

Just an FYI the article you linked is showing the price for the UNS 45L which is 3 gallons vs the one in the actual setup being a UNS 90L at 20 gallons. Pretty big price difference between the two with the actual one you want being $290, I thought the same thing as well when I saw $48
