Python 940044 First Impressions

"It's beautiful."

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.

Python 940044 Final Thoughts

"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.

"Very well made."

Mostly I just love looking at this tank. Keep up with water changes and testing and it'll be smooth sailing. I rely very heavily on Amazon reviews for my online shopping, so here is mine. We had a new home built this year, and just moved in. I do 1 drop per two gallons 3x a week for first few months. I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank. Both my fish are doing well with this setup.

Odysseaaqurium Final Thoughts

"Tank arrived intact."

At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. I purchased one of the biOtube plant sets also. My sponge, duster worms, snails and crabs, porcelain and emerald are doing well. I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. The standard filter doesn't work with a SALTWATER aquarium.

Landen First Impressions

"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.

biOrb 54490 First Impressions

"The Fluval 13."

You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks. I also add seachem pristine per direction once a week for first few months. It comes with everything you'd want besides a heater and protein skimmer. I added a small circulation pump to get better water movement. I've wanted this tank for a LONG time, and I love it. I have been an active fish keeper for years. Live rock is where much of the filtering goes on,.

biOrb 54490 Final Thoughts

"Feed fish."

By using live rock and sand, you'll be able to cycle this tank within 3-4 weeks. At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. Not a single smear or excess silicon in any place, no bubbles, ymmv. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it.

"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.

"Crystal clear viewing."

All in all it is packaged very well. I think I am going to get the 28 gallon also for my office area in the loft. I have been an active fish keeper for years. I bought two of these tanks and the quality of them in just amazing. 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. It is bit expensive, but I don't think I will ever need to buy another tank again.

"Don't overstock!"

1 gallon puts my other 7 tanks to shame. It contains 8 styrofoam corner protectors on the tank. The size is in the description is accurate. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. The most serious issue thus far is the light bar. After some experimentation And constant monitoring I found that the flat Aqueon 7. I didn't want to cover the filter because it would make cleaning harder.

Toledo Goldfish First Impressions

"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.

I do enjoy how modern it looks with no rims. Not a single smear or excess silicon in any place, no bubbles, ymmv. Secondly, the up close picture of the logo and silicon work is VERY close. By using live rock and sand, you'll be able to cycle this tank within 3-4 weeks. I started the cycling process and it's holding water so far! I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. That is a stand up person and one I will do business with again.

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

I bought 2 more 1lb bags of ceramic material and I only needed one more. I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks. DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. Indeed the light did not illuminate at all but only flashed as seen in the video.

SOUTH SHORE RETAIL First Impressions

"Absolutely beautiful."

DO NOT USE SAND OR ANY OTHER SUBSTRATE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. I had a coworker who also likes fish helping me and we had it together in 15 minutes. Glass was very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Next is to cut your foams into donuts to fit snug around the bottom filter cartridge. Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. Both my fish are doing well with this setup.

  • SOUTH SHORE RETAIL, LLC 5 pcs - LongLife Aquarium Fish Breathing Bags ~Kordon Breather Substitute - Long Life- Breather Fish Bag
  • Gone are the days of hoping your fish will make it to their destination with enough oxygen in the bag!
  • This premium fish bag is designed for the transportation of live fish, shrimp, snails, aquatic plants and other organisms requiring oxygen exchange. The special molecular structure of plastic film generate constant O2 and CO2 exchange.
  • Curved Seal to prevent fish from being trapped! No air gaps in bag recommended. This allows more water in the bag and no water sloshing around. This makes for a happier and healthy transport of fish. :)
  • Can tie/rubber band bags or use heat sealer to close bags. Heat sealer makes a nice neat presentation.
  • No need to double bag! Bags have been quality tested not to leak or break on impact from dropping! In fact double bagging is not recommened at all as it can lower the exchange of oxygen and CO2.

"5 years now."

But even so, the tank is beautiful! I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect. I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. I didn't want to cover the filter because it would make cleaning harder. They are affordable and beautiful and well made. I am especially fond of the raised base. The standard filter doesn't work with a SALTWATER aquarium.
