Review on LIFEGARD Ultra Clear Crystal Aquarium- Low Iron, Built-in Back Filter, Rimless Glass, Beveled Edge, Rectangular Style- Directional Jet Flow- 24 GPH by Tom Beland

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Multiple returns and always defective

Media could not be loaded. I'll start with the positive things. This aquarium is the perfect size, shape and location for the mini reef I wanted to make. It wasn't difficult and I was excited to finally find a proper new tank (downsized from my 150 gallon reef tank). Now for the bad. The tank came in a well packed box with no holes or visible damage on the outside. After an initial visual inspection of the tank I couldn't see anything that didn't look right so I went ahead and started the installation. About 30 minutes after setting up with sand and water, I noticed a small water bubble in the right front corner. I figured it might just be a squirt of what I poured in and watched for the next hour. The bubble continued to grow slowly over time (pictures attached). Yes, the tank is leaking. I then requested a refund and Revain sent a new one straight away (thanks Revain). However, the new one that arrived had a 3 inch scratch on the INSIDE of the front glass (video attached). This cannot have been a delivery and I can only assume this happened during production or processing. In this case you have two hits, I'll grab a tank from my LFS and avoid this nightmare. I gave this tank 2 stars instead of 1 because if someone gets a perfect undamaged version it will be a great tank! Without all the headaches it would have been 5 stars for me.
