Make a clip! the best in aquarium decor

So many bad reviews about it being too light, blisters coming from one side etc. All because of one simple mistake, the clip on the back is not part of the decoration but a shipping lock. I also went through frustration within an hour. Then I pulled out the clip and the ornament works exactly as I remembered it as a kid 45 years ago. ps You need a control valve to control airflow at slow speed.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Disappointed with the ornaments

I previously gave this diver a good rating but over time it turned out to be a disappointment. The first lost all air bubbles from the right ear (they come from both ears). We thought it was a one-time use and bought another. Initially (like the first day) he was in full swing with big blisters coming out of both ears. Now 2 weeks later the right ear is almost dead again and the left ear has shrunk. Thus, the entire block produces practically nothing. This is a poorly made product that clogs…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Minor flaws

Cheaply made but looks cool

This thing is cheap/thin but once I found out the bases were NOT suction cups and just covered them with aquarium gravel to make them heavier it worked great and looked pretty cool. Be careful when placing gravel under the base. If the "swing" gets gravel that rocks the skeleton back and forth, it won't move properly. You will also need a small valve in the air line to soften the bubbles or they will come out too quickly. It would be MUCH easier to install if they were on suction cups. Not bad…

Pros
  • Absolutely fantastic!
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Works great, but note these troubleshooting details.

Assembly required. Don't worry, just do it like the picture. It's easy guys. A few things: 1) Use gravel to make it harder. You need to make sure you reattach the plastic parts that look like suction cups but aren't. They cling to the gravel like tree roots. 2) If you find that it's not completely smooth when you manually move the frame legs back and forth on the board, the air hose is sitting too high. Just take it apart and pull it down a bit so it doesn't get in the way. I bet this is a…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Unreliable

REMOVE TRANSPORT CLAMP TO OPEN AND CLOSE LID!

Is the diver unable to open and close the treasure chest lid? Remove the transparent crescent-shaped clip at the back of the chest. Voila! Just as I was about to bring Danny Diver to life in a junkyard, I read the reviews. I don't know why they don't make it clearer that you have to do this first, or maybe they did and I was just too excited about my new toy which I hastily ripped out of the packaging and threw away the box. Because how difficult can it really be? Difficult. That is hard. The…

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • Zero

Super Awesome on Ornaments

No problems swimming, she sank well and stayed afloat. It took me about half an hour to get it right where the chest would open up and bubbles would burst out every 20 seconds. I had problems with blisters coming out of my back and the chest wouldn't open, the blisters were continuous and the chest would never close. I have an air pressure valve and it's amazing. I really love it! Super fast delivery (1 day) and high quality product. For reference, this item comes with plastic clips or plastic…

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Some little things

In combination with the skeleton, it looks very attractive!

I bought this plus a skeleton decoration to go with it (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002ATD6U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1). They look GREAT together, very nice display! The masts on this ship are pretty sharp (the reason for docking a star) so I cut off the ends of all of them and then sanded them down with a file so nothing sharp could hurt my axolotl. The skeleton sits on the air and "drinks" from a bottle of rum. This ship can also be linked to the air to allow…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Doubtful

Beautiful aquarium design!

I bought this for my 10 gallon goldfish tank, it looks really great in it. Not sure why many reviews say it's smaller than expected. The listing clearly states its dimensions so not sure what it is. For me, that's exactly the size I expected from reading the specs. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the weight issue, it's very light so it doesn't stay down. I am very surprised by this because I have other Action Air jewelry and they are all beautiful. I'm not sure why they made it so…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Modern
