"Hope this review helps!"

You can't even see the pushed in spots. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. I still keep it as a hospital tank. I will usually slow it down more at night so he can sleep undisturbed. I find them very easy to keep clean. I really like the ceramic media as it provides a great home for the'good' bacteria.

"Thanks KollerCraft!"

It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. This is my new favorite brand of aquariums. Use seachem prime and stability with every water change and as needed by directions. They look the same as the ADA ones which cost a fair amount more. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches. I didn't notice the dust on the glass until I reviewed the zoomed in pictures. You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks.

"I was worried about that."

The size is in the description is accurate. I find them very easy to keep clean. I also add seachem pristine per direction once a week for first few months. So far 2 fish and 1 water frog died this way in my aquarium within 6 months. The instructions are maybe two pages. I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft. The size is in the description is accurate.

Aquarium Masters AM33012 First Impressions

"It's gorgeous."

I have been an active fish keeper for years. They are affordable and beautiful and well made. 1 gallon puts my other 7 tanks to shame. This arrived a little over 24 hours ago and I will update as a resolution comes. My other gripe would be with the lid. I find them very easy to keep clean. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in.

Aquarium Masters AM33012 Final Thoughts

"My betta really likes it."

The longest delay was my downloading invoice. I put it opposite the return pump and it creates awesome flow. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. This is my new favorite brand of aquariums. An Eco Bio block is a good idea to. I bought two of these tanks and the quality of them in just amazing. Also very important for filtration.

AquaTop First Impressions

"Yes, it was expensive."

Indeed the light did not illuminate at all but only flashed as seen in the video. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. I didn't want to cover the filter because it would make cleaning harder. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. Live rock is where much of the filtering goes on,. I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed.

AquaTop Final Thoughts

"5 years in to ownership."

I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect. The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too. Mine's sitting on the carpet, and it's completely silent that way. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. My other gripe would be with the lid. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank.

"Um yes please!"

You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks. Given the price I paid, I am hoping it will continue to hold water! The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh. At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. Seriously, it doesn't even cover the filter, and it looks pretty bad. It is awesome for a very small amount of water. My other gripe would be with the lid.

"I sometimes have diatoms."

Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape. I rely very heavily on Amazon reviews for my online shopping, so here is mine.

I am especially fond of the raised base. It's simple enough to put together. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect. I bought an additional 2 Lb Bag Ceramic Media, and that does the trick. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants.

Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. All in all it is packaged very well. Mine's sitting on the carpet, and it's completely silent that way. Mostly I just love looking at this tank. I will definitely be purchasing a Landen tank for all future purchases. Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape. I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank.

"This tank is super small."

I had a coworker who also likes fish helping me and we had it together in 15 minutes. I added a small circulation pump to get better water movement. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Highly recommend this for beginners. I plan on plenty invertebrates and softies only so I may never need to upgrade.

"Easy read."

Not a fan of the filtration sponge. The aquarium came very well packaged and undamaged. It took less than 10 minutes to get a new light bar shipped out. It came quickly, and was easy to set up. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. Maybe a larger BiOrb for the future when I want more fish again. You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks.

"Very well made."

Just do your homework and don't overload this tank. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. Mine's sitting on the carpet, and it's completely silent that way. That is a stand up person and one I will do business with again. I have a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is my 1st attempt at saltwater. Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape.

DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. This arrived a little over 24 hours ago and I will update as a resolution comes. Glass was very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank. The Landen box is labeled fragile and inside an Amazon box. It is bit expensive, but I don't think I will ever need to buy another tank again. I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft.

"Still loving this biorb!"

I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums. If you are looking for a good quality aquarium with a great look this is it! It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. Most important though is the lighting issue. I started the cycling process and it's holding water so far! Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. My only comment is that Amazon should label their box fragile.

Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube. I set this up just like I would have a big salt tank. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. I do enjoy how modern it looks with no rims. I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft. Use seachem prime and stability with every water change and as needed by directions. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia.
