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.

Coralife First Impressions
"I've had it a day so far."I didn't want to cover the filter because it would make cleaning harder. It is awesome for a very small amount of water. 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. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. 5 watt works well and keeps it between 78-80 degrees if the room air is around 70–71. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours.

Coralife Final Thoughts
"5 years in to ownership."Please note that the tank is 100% clear. I will most definitely be sticking with Landen for future aquarium purchases. The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too. The instructions are maybe two pages. I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect. Given the price I paid, I am hoping it will continue to hold water! The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too.

"This tank is super small."An Eco Bio block is a good idea to. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. I do enjoy how modern it looks with no rims. My biggest gripes about it are the lack of room in the back. My ammonia is undetectable including the N2 and N3. I had a coworker who also likes fish helping me and we had it together in 15 minutes.

"Still loving this biorb!"I didn't want to cover the filter because it would make cleaning harder. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia. My biggest gripes about it are the lack of room in the back. Mostly I just love looking at this tank. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. 5 watt works well and keeps it between 78-80 degrees if the room air is around 70–71. Next is to cut your foams into donuts to fit snug around the bottom filter cartridge.

"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.

"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.

"This was perfect!"Beautiful tank, had a local glass co. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase. It contains 8 styrofoam corner protectors on the tank. I've got two of these tanks, one at home and one at work. Given the price I paid, I am hoping it will continue to hold water! I immediately noticed that the glass moves slightly in the corners when pressed on. They are affordable and beautiful and well made.

biOrb First Impressions
"Is like a decor piece."Final gripe and its not a big deal is that there isn't a lid over the feeding hole. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. I have a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is my 1st attempt at saltwater. I recommend buying the biOtube polish to! Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube. I've built a fresh nano planted tank using this. Should survive the shipping process just fine!
- biOrb Life 45 Liter Transparent Aquarium with MCR Lighting
- You'll find the BiOrb Life 45 Liter Transparent Aquarium with MCR Lighting is a really easy aquarium to set up and own. Everything you need to start your aquarium is included in the box.

In each cycle there is a 15 minute sunrise period where the light ramps up to full brightness and the end of the cycle the light ramps down. During the off hours only a dim night light will operate. In manual mode you will have control over the color mix and the brightness of the light. The LEDs are white, blue, green and red.

biOrb Final Thoughts
"I sometimes have diatoms."Double the amount of ceramic media they give you. I have a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is my 1st attempt at saltwater. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. 1 gallon puts my other 7 tanks to shame. I grabbed the Sungrow Aquarium Gravel Cleaner Kit. The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh. I plan on plenty invertebrates and softies only so I may never need to upgrade.

"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 3G High Clarity Glass Bookshelf Style Aquarium (HCA-3G)
- The AquaTop 3 Gallon High Clarity Glass Bookshelf Style Aquarium (HCA-3G) is constructed of low iron glass with a 91% light-through rate. The view from this 3-gallon high clarity cube is outstanding.

"Pretty Happy."That will make it easier to maintain the water temp and find a heater. It will help establish your good bacteria, and get the nitrogen cycle started.

Landen Final Thoughts
"Attached some photos."A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. The Landen box is labeled fragile and inside an Amazon box. Should survive the shipping process just fine! I started the cycling process and it's holding water so far! It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. I added some privacy film to help hide the cords and the hang-on-back filter. I used an Aquatop Np302 and the tubing from the Portrait as my return pump.

"Recommended."It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. It is bit expensive, but I don't think I will ever need to buy another tank again. Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. I added a small circulation pump to get better water movement. Next is to cut your foams into donuts to fit snug around the bottom filter cartridge. Wanted the ADA look but on a budget and this fits the bill.

"I absolutely love it."My other gripe would be with the lid. Double the amount of ceramic media they give you. It really makes it easy to keep the outside surface clean and shiny! I wanted to wait a little before reviewing so I could give a good and honest review. A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. I would like a heater, but it costs more than the tank. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it.
