"Easy Setup but Questionable Performance: A Critical Review"
The setup for this product is incredibly easy! All I had to do was unpack the box and plug it in—super simple. However, I'm a bit unsure about the flow it provides and the filtration system. I'm not entirely confident that they will meet my needs. Additionally, I think $500 is high for what you get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice tank.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017
I really love this tank and yes a few MODS made it a bit better and easier to care for in the long rung. In honesty most people will MOD their tanks its just part of the hobby. As a stock tank I think it will work fine too for most people. The lighting system is what you mainly paying for it and a nice tank overall its a good deal. I attached a video matter of fact my Computer is louder then the tank in the video. It was bit cloudy when setting it up but clear up overnight which is 100% normal. Please clean you glass before with maybe a damp sponge before adding anything, I forgot too, I have since cleaned it but would have been easier without the stuff in the tank. Remember no chemicals cleaners on the inside of the glass ever empty or not.

MODS are In-Tank media basket and 9001 Tunze skimmer still working on the Tunze. Mustangarrett seemed to have bashed this tank for being as loud as a dirt devil as you can tell in the video it is not. Shipping was done good but would have liked them on the outside box to place fragile or glass on it. It was unmarked, luckily it arrived undamaged. I did have a slight rubbing sound coming from the fan on the 1st night but I accidentally slammed the lid and the sound went away and yes the fan still works. That is a bonus on durability. The discharge hose from the pump was 2 inches too short. I had to float the pump up to connect the discharge tube to the outlet nozzle. Wrote the seller about that issue and they resolved it. Great customer service. I have it placed over my desk on top of the file cabinet, I would normally not suggest a full tank on a desk but seems to be working good I did a standing/ bouncing test on my desk before attempting this. All in all very happy camper after 3 weeks of research I do not regret my 1st saltwater tank purchase at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Small crack upon opening
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023
I ordered this tank in 2022 as i was going to start a saltwater reef, life happened and it sat in the box for about a year. I finally had time to set it up and leak test it, so i put some rock in and filled it up, had been about a week and no issues, but i also needed to check how much evaporation occurred, so i looked at the side where you can see the "min water" line. and just above it was another line, ran my finger across it thinking it was just a line on the glass, and nope, it's a crack I could feel it. So now I'm left with busted tank that I paid a good amount of money on, and it's probably too long past the time to get it replaced...check your tank upon arrival everybody!.
