The media could not be loaded. The item arrived quickly and the materials are quality. Pool should have included instructions on assembly even if it was fairly intuitive. There is a small learning curve. The pool has so far been able to withstand build and breakdown multiple times. It has just enough room for a human sized fish. Wish there was a way to secure the support straps on the legs better. The Boswell pool has brought our mermaid show alive!

First of all, the company offers an amazon giftcard for 5* reviews so read them carefully. I set the 900gal up in my garage and gave it a couple of weeks before writing the review.

Setting it up without help was a pretty daunting task. The instructions are nearly useless. The metal is not the thickest and is often cut/stamped roughly, with lots of burred edges that you'll want to remove. The absolute worst part of the design are the sleeves used to connect the the poles that run across the front and back. The design simply does not work. I was able to position the joints so that the leg brackets sandwiched it all together and this helped with rigidity. Do yourself a favor and insert the leg brackets as you slide the front and back poles into position. I taped the end of the poles and used a little vegetable oil to get the poles to slide through the clear plastic. The poles are sharp, hence the taping. There are a LOT of bolts in this thing which I inserted backwards. Inserting them forward put the sharper threaded edges against the plastic material of the pool which seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. Once you get the pool standing be sure to tighten all the bolts as much as you can. I almost feel like they need a torque spec. The corner brackets WILL come apart if you dont clamp them entirely. With the pool filled this is the one point that concerns me in the future. There should be bolts through the bracket and the pipe instead of only the clamp.

With all that said, it works. It's flimsy, but it works. For the price you can't beat it if you want a viewing window. The window is nice but it's distorted due to the pool bulging out around every leg (its designed to do this).

I built a custom filter with a pond pump and mounted everything so nothing touches the inside of the liner. I also set the pool up on foam insulation board to help protect the bottom as per ohio fish rescue's suggestion (see their youtube channel for pool pond recommendations). I'll be using polycarbonate panels to build a top for it.

I believe ,with the construction style, that the 470 gallon would be much more rigid once assembled . I may have purchased 2 of those instead of the 900 if I had it to do over.

We have turtles and we put this in our house as an option. there's a double liner and it is starting to separate. there's a big air bubble in between the two layers on the front.It hasn't popped but I am concerned that it will and we have only had it for a couple of weeks

It works. If you have some common sense its easy to put together. Holds water, see through panel is clear long as you give it a scrub every once in awhile. well see how long it lasts!

The media could not be loaded. This thing is a absolute game changer wish I was able to get this years ago I've been in the hobby for 27 years this is amazing you get a monster home for fish to live a live to there fullest ability for full growth with plenty of room plus the front view to see your fish and interact will definitely recommend to anyone and will be buying another one
