Review on API Acrylic Aquariums 1 Count Container by Bianca Mares

Revainrating 1 out of 5

acrylic scratches!

A 20 gallon aquarium is $160. I was very concerned about scratches as my research showed that acrylic tanks are soft. I am a meticulous person and have worked very carefully. I have thoroughly washed and cleaned this pillow. I am VERY careful not to get stuck in the gravel or substrate when paddling. I didn't realize it even scratched until during a water change the water dripped enough to dry out the tank walls. Terrible scratches and haze everywhere. Some scratches are fairly deep, but mostly light scuffs/scuffs all over! I've only used it 3 times and never dry. I caution anyone using this to at least partially empty their tank, allow the tank walls to dry and inspect carefully. When there is water in a tank, it hides most of it. I have to throw it away and find something else.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Exterior
