DREAMDEALS So Good First Impressions

"I've had it a day so far."

I didn't notice the dust on the glass until I reviewed the zoomed in pictures. You can see the pic and decide what's right for your needs. Not a single smear or excess silicon in any place, no bubbles, ymmv. It comes with everything you'd want besides a heater and protein skimmer. I set this up just like I would have a big salt tank. Mostly I just love looking at this tank. The instructions are maybe two pages.

  • DreamDealsSG 100x Tourmaline Balls for Freshwater Aquarium Tank. Mineral Supplement Substrate. Live Shrimp Food, Betta Fish Food, and Crayfish Food. Water Conditioner for Freshwater Shrimp etc.
  • Vibrant health: Just like vitamins, minerals and pH balanced water for humans, your Shrimp, Bettas, Crayfish and Snails also need those things for bright colors, healthy breeding, molting and play! So, when you add DDSG Mineral Balls to your tank you’re giving your fishy friends, the best of health!
  • How do they work? Out in the wild, cherry shrimp, ghost shrimp, amano shrimp, freshwater fish and all other water-lovin’ life are constantly exposed to pH balanced, mineral water from earth’s rocks – with natural bacteria. This is how they molt, breed and maintain healthy vibrancy. Our organic tourmaline is a natural rock with over 30 minerals to keep your tank balanced just like those wild waters.
  • Size and quantity: This is the most cost effective pack you’ve found on your search. Chances are you have at least one 10 gallon fish tank (but commonly 20 gallon tank, or 50 gallon). And because you’ll add one ¼ inch ball per gallon, you’ll need enough for every tank! So this 100 pack makes perfect sense.
  • Copper-free! Of course you may have some nerite snails and other friendly things in your shrimp tank, so you’ll love knowing each tourmaline ball is copper-free! And because they’re natural and pH balanced they keep your aquarium crystal clear, free from impurities, ammonia and hold a stable pH balance. And because they’re so mineral rich, your aquatic plants will get the nutrients they need, too.
  • Calcium-enhanced and more: DDSG Mineral Supplement beads contain 30 minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, boron, manganese and more. It’s like a daily dose of Spirulina for our splashy pals! Suited for freshwater aquarium snails, betta tank, freshwater shrimp, live crayfish and goldfish. So, feed them well, keep them clean, and supplement with DDSG Minerals so they can dazzle you for years!

DREAMDEALS So Good Final Thoughts

"This was perfect!"

But even so, the tank is beautiful! The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks. Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape. I didn't notice the dust on the glass until I reviewed the zoomed in pictures. Seriously, it doesn't even cover the filter, and it looks pretty bad.

Boutique Betta First Impressions

"I got the'10'."

The purple coralline algae is growing well. Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Unboxing the inner package, with the tank itself was not difficult. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. Mine's sitting on the carpet, and it's completely silent that way. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in.

Boutique Betta Final Thoughts

"Who knows why."

I plan on plenty invertebrates and softies only so I may never need to upgrade. The pictures are from day 4, note the crystal clear water. I also add seachem pristine per direction once a week for first few months. We had a new home built this year, and just moved in. It's simple enough to put together. I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums. The purple coralline algae is growing well.

"Highly recommend."

And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. That is a stand up person and one I will do business with again. I bought 2 more 1lb bags of ceramic material and I only needed one more. I put it opposite the return pump and it creates awesome flow. Maybe a larger BiOrb for the future when I want more fish again. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches.

Toledo Goldfish Final Thoughts

"Trying to contact vendor."

Definetly get a small ato as it does allow considerable evap. It comes with everything you'd want besides a heater and protein skimmer. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. I have a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is my 1st attempt at saltwater. A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. Not a fan of the filtration sponge.

Tangkula AM2759HM First Impressions

"Great beginners tank."

Given the price I paid, I am hoping it will continue to hold water! I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. Use seachem prime and stability with every water change and as needed by directions. The pic is a bit cloudy since I just filled it up and its still cycling. DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. That will make it easier to maintain the water temp and find a heater.

  • Tangkula 1 Gallon Aquarium Fish Tank, Fish Aquarium with LED Light & Power Filter, Fish Bowl Comes with Artificial Aquatic Plants & Blue Jean Aquarium Gravel
  • Impact-resistant Acrylic Cover: Made of acrylic for better light transmission. Unlike glass, this material has higher strength and durability. One-piece structure of this stylish shaped fish tank does not need to worry about any leakage. The modern design aquarium is a beautiful home & office decor.
  • Energy-efficient LED lighting: Simple by touching the button, the LED light will illuminate the whole fish tank, providing a new experience for you to viewing your fish. Not only that, LED light has the characteristics of high brightness and low energy consumption and provides super bright light while ensuring durability and long life.
  • Filter Sponge & Silent Water Pump: Equipped with biochemical filter sponge. When pouring water, you need to pour on this filter in order to filter through other impurities and keep aquarium water crystal clear. More importantly, the air pump can be tightened to achieve the effect of mute operation. The air volume also can be adjusted by simply pressing the air pump.
  • Easy To Set Up and Maintain: There is a drain at the bottom for easy water change. The top cooling holes are designed to dissipate the heat from the water pump and led to avoid overheating. There is also a feeding hole on the top for feeding fish. Most importantly, the minimum water level must be exceeded when filling water to prevent the pump from heating and damaging.
  • Stylish Desktop Fish Tank & Great Holiday Gift: The 1 gallon small fish tank can raise guppies, angel fish and other ornamental fishes. Include with artificial aquatic plastic plants and blue jean aquarium gravel to create your own desktop aquarium. Apart from that, this fish aquarium with LED light is a great gift for friends, colleagues and family members for festival days or birthday parties.

"It's so sleek!"

Glass was very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Beveled edges all around and the silicon work is really nice. I could not put water in it as shipped because the return pump was compromised. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. Bottom line is~28 hours after receipt this is one star. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. I do 1 drop per two gallons 3x a week for first few months.

"Thanks KollerCraft!"

Just do your homework and don't overload this tank. The instructions are maybe two pages. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. My sponge, duster worms, snails and crabs, porcelain and emerald are doing well. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches.

"Still loving this biorb!"

I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. I will update if I have any issues. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank. Still waiting for the silicone to cure. Should survive the shipping process just fine! I recommend buying the biOtube polish to!

"They work well for algae."

At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Live rock is where much of the filtering goes on,. My ammonia is undetectable including the N2 and N3. After the foam is in I put the gravel in. Nothing to complain about with this tank at all. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water.

Brightwell Aquatics FOXG300 Final Thoughts

"My betta really likes it."

Final gripe and its not a big deal is that there isn't a lid over the feeding hole. Put in small fish at 1 inch per gallon. Mine's sitting on the carpet, and it's completely silent that way. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. It really makes it easy to keep the outside surface clean and shiny! I could not put water in it as shipped because the return pump was compromised. I do enjoy how modern it looks with no rims.

Toledo Goldfish Final Thoughts

"Hold temperatures better."

I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank. It really makes it easy to keep the outside surface clean and shiny! I grabbed the Sungrow Aquarium Gravel Cleaner Kit. Beautiful tank, had a local glass co. Also very important for filtration. It will help establish your good bacteria, and get the nitrogen cycle started. I've built a fresh nano planted tank using this.

We had a new home built this year, and just moved in. Mostly I just love looking at this tank. I didn't want to cover the filter because it would make cleaning harder. The size is in the description is accurate. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. Most important though is the lighting issue.

"5 years now."

I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank. I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect. I didn't wipe this tank down after unboxing it, those aren't scratches etc. I used an Aquatop Np302 and the tubing from the Portrait as my return pump. Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Overall great package and would definitely buy it again and recommend it. He is so happy and swims around all day instead of just sitting in a corner.

I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank. An Eco Bio block is a good idea to. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. The pictures are from day 4, note the crystal clear water. I bought two of these tanks and the quality of them in just amazing. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. I really like the ceramic media as it provides a great home for the'good' bacteria.
