"Crystal clear viewing."

I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft. Definetly get a small ato as it does allow considerable evap. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. I put in some white stones and it looks amazing. Medium on the bottom, coarse on top. All in all it is packaged very well.

"The Fluval 13."

Beveled edges all around and the silicon work is really nice. Please note that the tank is 100% clear. All in all it is packaged very well. It took less than 10 minutes to get a new light bar shipped out. My only comment is that Amazon should label their box fragile. It contains 8 styrofoam corner protectors on the tank. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work.

Aqueon 100532088 First Impressions

"First go to Greatwaveeng."

It comes with everything you'd want besides a heater and protein skimmer. 1 gallon puts my other 7 tanks to shame. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. They look the same as the ADA ones which cost a fair amount more. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. I find them very easy to keep clean. I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums.

Aqueon 100532088 Final Thoughts

"Um yes please!"

Use seachem prime and stability with every water change and as needed by directions. I still keep it as a hospital tank. You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks. Live rock is where much of the filtering goes on,. The pic is a bit cloudy since I just filled it up and its still cycling. Clean silicone lines and clear glass. This arrived a little over 24 hours ago and I will update as a resolution comes.

"5 thats all I can say."

Wanted the ADA look but on a budget and this fits the bill. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. Medium on the bottom, coarse on top. Most important though is the lighting issue. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water.

Aqueon 100528607 Final Thoughts

"I love this tank."

I am especially fond of the raised base. 5 watt works well and keeps it between 78-80 degrees if the room air is around 70–71. So far 2 fish and 1 water frog died this way in my aquarium within 6 months. Glass was very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks. My biggest gripes about it are the lack of room in the back. Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape.
