Review on 🐠 Lifegard Aquatics Low Iron Ultra Clear Crystal Aquarium with Built-in Side Filter - Rimless Glass, Peninsula Style by Rebecca Stokes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Everything looks good on the surface, quality control issues when purchased make it a big disappointment

I saved 6 months on this Lifeguard Aquatics peninsular tank. Right out of the box, my filter system has an odd triangle cut out of one of the internal baffles behind the filter wall, rendering proper flow and filter paths useless. It also arrived with a chip on the front left corner. Not enough to compromise the integrity of the tank but I bought it for the super flawless rimless aesthetic. The fact that it immediately had a noticeable chip quite annoys me. The black vinyl covering the filter area, while better than Marinelad, is very cheap and of poor quality. You can easily catch a random finger or tool on the edge of the vinyl and quickly start peeling. I'll just cut mine and paint. Finally, the mat that comes with it is shockingly thin. I threw it away and replaced it with something that would actually keep the floor from collapsing. Savior, do not hesitate to contact me to fix the problem. I was planning to buy a few more larger tanks from this company but after this first impression of clearly poor quality control before shipping I will spend the extra on the Fiji Cube.

Pros
  • Components Included: Tank, Pump, Mechanical Filter, Biological Media
Cons
