YCTECH First Impressions

"Tank arrived intact."

The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed. I don't have plants in mine in the usual sense. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks. Please note that the tank is 100% clear. Mine loves lounging and swimming through ours.

YCTECH Final Thoughts

"5 years in to ownership."

They are affordable and beautiful and well made. Indeed the light did not illuminate at all but only flashed as seen in the video. So far 2 fish and 1 water frog died this way in my aquarium within 6 months. The Evo has the same capacity but seems like a much bigger tank than the Portrait. Should survive the shipping process just fine! The longest delay was my downloading invoice. That will make it easier to maintain the water temp and find a heater.

Toledo Goldfish Final Thoughts

"5 years now."

I have this aquarium for now a couple of weeks. It is bit expensive, but I don't think I will ever need to buy another tank again. I didn't notice the dust on the glass until I reviewed the zoomed in pictures. I set this up just like I would have a big salt tank. At least 30%, more if testing indicates a problem or if water is looking bad. I purchased one of the biOtube plant sets also. I added a small circulation pump to get better water movement.

Cobella Final Thoughts

"5 years now."

I am especially fond of the raised base. It's simple enough to put together. Looks very similar to more expensive tanks for much less. I didn't even add the skimmer, and it has be perfect. I bought an additional 2 Lb Bag Ceramic Media, and that does the trick. I think it will provide a good home and upgrade for my current aquarium inhabitants. The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water.

"First go to Greatwaveeng."

If you are looking for a good quality aquarium with a great look this is it! A little piece of foam in the bubble tube keeps gravel out while putting it in. Put in small fish at 1 inch per gallon. It is awesome for a very small amount of water. The aquarium came very well packaged and undamaged. The multi colored LED lights cost more than the tank itself too. Most important though is the lighting issue.

If you upgrade your filter situation this BiOrb is really neat. But even so, the tank is beautiful! Unboxing the inner package, with the tank itself was not difficult.

"Seems a little wasteful."

I picked this, because it was simple and had everything I needed. After the foam is in I put the gravel in. Also very important for filtration. I bought an additional 2 Lb Bag Ceramic Media, and that does the trick. He is so happy and swims around all day instead of just sitting in a corner. Final gripe and its not a big deal is that there isn't a lid over the feeding hole. I will try to come back in a few months with an updated photo of this tank.

"Great beginners tank."

I immediately noticed that the glass moves slightly in the corners when pressed on. If this goes well I have a spare 75g at home I'll probably convert into a reef tank. If you are looking for a good quality aquarium with a great look this is it! Secondly, the up close picture of the logo and silicon work is VERY close. Should survive the shipping process just fine!

Nothing to complain about with this tank at all. I could not put water in it as shipped because the return pump was compromised.

By using live rock and sand, you'll be able to cycle this tank within 3-4 weeks. Just do your homework and don't overload this tank.
