Description of 🏰 Penn-Plax Castle Aquarium Decoration: Realistic Hand-Painted Tower Standing Over 14.5 Inches High | Part A

This aquarium decoration features a large grey castle perched upon a rocky hill with a flowing waterfall underneath. The cone shaped roof, archways, and stone details give a realistic feel. This castle provides visual interest for you and your fish. Holes provide hideaways for your fish to rest and passageways to reduce boredom. This aquarium ornament measures 12.8 inches across by 14.8 inches high by 8 inches deep. Castle is doubled sided and can be placed anywhere in your fish tank. Can be used alone or coordinate this castle with style RRW10 Part B to create a large 2 piece underwater kingdom for larger fish tanks. Made of safe durable resin, this aquarium decoration is hand painted with detail and is safe for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Excellent - very detailed

Very satisfied. It is easy to combine the two parts. Luckily I read reviews where someone said the resin has sharp edges on the inside. Some of the edges are very, very sharp. This resin tank material is usually too expensive and the insides have to be smoothed out by the manufacturer. I spent an hour or two filing down all the sharp edges and actually had to buy some clear epoxy to smooth out the areas I couldn't sand down so the fish wouldn't get hurt. I soaked these parts for a day before…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly

Requires little preparation but beautiful

This arrived well packaged and on time. For those who complain about roughness. Sand them down. Smooth out the edges and you're good to go. There are also complaints of peeling paint, which can release toxins into the water and kill fish. A layer of Plasti Dip is used for this. seal it. No more paint shavings or leech venom, Plasti Dip comes highly recommended for this purpose by my fish groups and in my experience. Finally, there are spots that are heavily compressed and can result in fish…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other options

We put both halves in a 20 gallon tank

We have a 20 gallon tank and plan on enlarging it later. Currently we both have bridges leading to the back of the tank, but as we get bigger we will connect the bridge. The quality of these locks is good, they were not damaged in transit. We had a pile of styrofoam to wash off the packaging but that's better than a broken product. The pits/caverns are large enough for German blue sheep and pygmy gouramis to swim through with ease. Our snail also likes to hide there for a few days and then come

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Individually beautiful. Small in a set

Let me start by saying that these locks themselves are pretty good and pretty damn cute. I like the smaller 11" lock I've bought before so I decided to buy this set to fill my tank up a bit more. Together as a set though, not as a fan. As with the last lock I bought, there were too many sharp edges that needed to be sanded down. It's okay, but it really needs to be addressed. My biggest problem with this is that I don't know if one of mine is defective or sun bleached or whatever, but the two…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Good but not perfect

Absolutely Spectacular

This is the left side of the two pieces. This is RRW9 and the right side is RRW10. They don't match exactly in the middle as one is bigger than the other. I took a large file and spent almost 2 hours hand sanding the bottom of the right side until it matched the left side. I just couldn't put such a beautiful object in my aquarium if it didn't show its perfection. Another thing to mention are the beautiful colors and they seem to come alive when the piece gets wet. Outside the decoration itself

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Interchangeability
