Review on 🐠 Reefing Art Small Magnetic Acclimation Breeder Box for Anemone Coral with Extra-Strength N52 Magnets, suitable for 1/2" Glass by Shakira Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but could have used a better design.

I like the box. It was easy to set up, looks great, is functional and I was able to use it as an acclimatization chamber for fish, some anemones and mushrooms. The bad side of this is the magnet. A magnet holds it, but it actually takes two. If you don't put this at the bottom of the tank, the chamber will want to "spin". If there is flow or weight on one side it will tilt in that direction and 'tilt', if it had two magnets on opposite sides it would be much better. The magnet also attaches to the outside wall of the back panel. Forcing it to sit about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the wall, but even that makes it unstable at times. It needs some kind of pins on the bottom to keep it off the wall easily. Again, the magnet holds, but not quite. Tank. The lid contained everything I needed. It is articulated but without a latch. I also think a latch can be used, especially if you have to put it on the ground as it makes it harder for someone to escape. I still recommend it as it's functional, but if you have a deep tank look for one that hangs on the edge or something. It's just that this one isn't quite there yet. Great idea, decent design but could use some improvements. Still worth 4 stars in my opinion.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
