Terrible water flow
Amazon Customer✓ Verified Purchase•July 26, 2017
Terrible water flow, builds algae and water tension after day 2. Can barely keep one fish alive at a time. Good idea, poor manufacturing.
Love it but the pump stopped working three days sence ...

Love it but the pump stopped working three days sence I had it but Amazon is awesome about replacing it
Love the look, but not quite perfect.
Jerrico Winkleman✓ Verified Purchase•June 26, 2017
I love the overall look of this aquarium. I have been looking for something like this for a long time, I have it sitting on my kitchen bar and it adds a great little conversation piece. A few things keep it from getting 5 stars though.
1) the pump doesn't seem to be quite big enough to provide a "good" waterfall action and circulation, it's enough to keep water going over the planting areas but it doesn't do much for the surface of the pool area. haven't tried a bigger pump yet but I may. Currently though I lose about 1in of water a day due to evaporation, so have to solve that problem first.
2) the planting pods are small, I've had it about a month and have had to change out plants because the root system gets too big for the planting pods. either needs some holes to let the roots go through or overall needs to be a little bigger. (may try drilling holes later on down the line)
3) in order to hide a heater in the back you have to modify the 3 chamber filtration system. I put a Tetra 26447 submersible heater in but had to knock out a piece of plastic in the back. the filter medium is just a sponge which is working, but depending on what you do with the tank may need to be fixed.
4) there's a large gap where the top part of the rock meets the base. I used a little food grade silicon to fill the gap to allow the water to flow properly.
All of those issues are minor in my mind and can be fixed with a few modifications that a normal hobbyist would do anyways. Currently I have things like Lucky bamboo, and other water loving plants in the top. I did have Basil in it as well but it got too large and had to be removed (issue 2). I have 6 fish of various sizes. I know eventually I'll have to move a few of them but they look great in the tank now. Currently there's an albino pleco, 3 endless live bearer males and 2 clown loach (tiny, temporary to help with snail population). I have several underwater plants as well and my water parameters are perfect, I just have to keep adding about a pint of water every other day due to evaporation.
