Tetra 29095 First Impressions

"Seems a little wasteful."

You can see the pic and decide what's right for your needs. It is bit expensive, but I don't think I will ever need to buy another tank again. I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. That is a stand up person and one I will do business with again. You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks. The purple coralline algae is growing well.

Tetra 29095 Final Thoughts

"LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!"

After some experimentation And constant monitoring I found that the flat Aqueon 7. It sits inside of styrofoam and is double boxed and wrapped once with bubble wrap. A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. Mine's sitting on the carpet, and it's completely silent that way. The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh. My other gripe would be with the lid. My tanks cycled quickly, and I've had no problems with ammonia.

"I also used Fluval Cycle."

Overall I'm pleased with the purchase. You can see the pic and decide what's right for your needs. Medium on the bottom, coarse on top. Also there is more floor space to spread out the live rock and create a cool scape. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank. I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed. It really makes it easy to keep the outside surface clean and shiny!

Tetra Final Thoughts

"Very sturdy."

I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. I put it opposite the return pump and it creates awesome flow. I set this up just like I would have a big salt tank. The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh. I am especially fond of the raised base. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. I've built a fresh nano planted tank using this.

After the foam is in I put the gravel in. The size is in the description is accurate. Just like the aquariums I saw in the aquascaping videos I watched on YouTube.

"5 years in to ownership."

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. Should survive the shipping process just fine! I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums. I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. That will make it easier to maintain the water temp and find a heater.

"The Fluval 13."

I immediately noticed that the glass moves slightly in the corners when pressed on. I'm really liking the Landen line of aquariums. Seriously, it doesn't even cover the filter, and it looks pretty bad. Highly recommend this for beginners. I find them very easy to keep clean. Bottom line is~28 hours after receipt this is one star. I added a small circulation pump to get better water movement.

"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.

"I got the'10'."

An Eco Bio block is a good idea to. You must buy a special one they produce for marine tanks. Mostly I just love looking at this tank. Unboxing the inner package, with the tank itself was not difficult. I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed. I find them very easy to keep clean. If this goes well I have a spare 75g at home I'll probably convert into a reef tank.

"Still loving this biorb!"

Not a fan of the filtration sponge. I find them very easy to keep clean. If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. It came quickly, and was easy to set up. You can see the pic and decide what's right for your needs. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. My sponge, duster worms, snails and crabs, porcelain and emerald are doing well.

I will try to come back in a few months with an updated photo of this tank. I used a binder clip to clamp the tube down and decrease the air entering the tank. Mostly I just love looking at this tank. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. I added some privacy film to help hide the cords and the hang-on-back filter. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours. It contains 8 styrofoam corner protectors on the tank.

SevenSeaSupply Final Thoughts

"I absolutely love it."

Nothing to complain about with this tank at all. The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too. I will usually slow it down more at night so he can sleep undisturbed. And my Midas Blenny and Cleaner shrimp are doing so well in it. 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. Wanted the ADA look but on a budget and this fits the bill.

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

I purchased one of the biOtube plant sets also. I started the cycling process and it's holding water so far! The pictures are from day 4, note the crystal clear water. They look the same as the ADA ones which cost a fair amount more. I really like the ceramic media as it provides a great home for the'good' bacteria. I added some privacy film to help hide the cords and the hang-on-back filter. To me I think it is worth it to have such a good tank.
