1. Eheim compactON Aquarium Pump - 3000, Black

Eheim 1031310 First Impressions

"The clarity of this 7."

I've built a fresh nano planted tank using this. I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank. But even so, the tank is beautiful! An Eco Bio block is a good idea to. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. I do enjoy how modern it looks with no rims. My other gripe would be with the lid.

Eheim 1031310 Final Thoughts

"I really love it."

An Eco Bio block is a good idea to. At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. I could not put water in it as shipped because the return pump was compromised. Nothing to complain about with this tank at all. Also very important for filtration. I also add seachem pristine per direction once a week for first few months. I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank.

"Excellent buy!"

It is awesome for a very small amount of water. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. I bought an additional 2 Lb Bag Ceramic Media, and that does the trick. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia. You can't even see the pushed in spots. I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank.

Landen Final Thoughts

"It's gorgeous."

Also very important for filtration. I put it opposite the return pump and it creates awesome flow. I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. I really like the ceramic media as it provides a great home for the'good' bacteria. My only comment is that Amazon should label their box fragile. Final gripe and its not a big deal is that there isn't a lid over the feeding hole. I purchased one of the biOtube plant sets also.

"Will keep you posted!"

I have a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is my 1st attempt at saltwater. The instructions are maybe two pages. I will update if I have any issues. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches. 5 watt works well and keeps it between 78-80 degrees if the room air is around 70–71. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. I used an Aquatop Np302 and the tubing from the Portrait as my return pump.

DaToo Final Thoughts

"Don't overstock!"

The pic is a bit cloudy since I just filled it up and its still cycling. I find them very easy to keep clean. I added a small circulation pump to get better water movement. They are affordable and beautiful and well made. I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft. You can't even see the pushed in spots. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense.

Both my fish are doing well with this setup. Beautiful tank, had a local glass co. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. It contains 8 styrofoam corner protectors on the tank. My only comment is that Amazon should label their box fragile. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches. I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums.

"It's so sleek!"

Not a single smear or excess silicon in any place, no bubbles, ymmv. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH IT. I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft. I am especially fond of the raised base. I will definitely be purchasing a Landen tank for all future purchases. Live rock is where much of the filtering goes on,. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia.

Live rock is where much of the filtering goes on,. DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. I will definitely be purchasing a Landen tank for all future purchases. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. I immediately noticed that the glass moves slightly in the corners when pressed on. My other gripe would be with the lid.

"Looked good."

I've wanted this tank for a LONG time, and I love it. Still waiting for the silicone to cure. It comes with everything you'd want besides a heater and protein skimmer. I rely very heavily on Amazon reviews for my online shopping, so here is mine. He is so happy and swims around all day instead of just sitting in a corner. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. All in all it is packaged very well.

Overall great package and would definitely buy it again and recommend it. The aquarium came very well packaged and undamaged. It is bit expensive, but I don't think I will ever need to buy another tank again. Use seachem prime and stability with every water change and as needed by directions. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. Wanted the ADA look but on a budget and this fits the bill.

I also add seachem pristine per direction once a week for first few months. I set this up just like I would have a big salt tank. 5 watt works well and keeps it between 78-80 degrees if the room air is around 70–71. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too. So far 2 fish and 1 water frog died this way in my aquarium within 6 months. All in all it is packaged very well.

"I would buy another."

I am especially fond of the raised base. I didn't wipe this tank down after unboxing it, those aren't scratches etc. Seriously, it doesn't even cover the filter, and it looks pretty bad. I purchased one of the biOtube plant sets also. I used an Aquatop Np302 and the tubing from the Portrait as my return pump. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia.

My only comment is that Amazon should label their box fragile. Also have live sand on the bottom, about 1plus inches. I purchased one of the biOtube plant sets also.
