Great tank light is unsafe

Great tank light is unsafe
The tank is great for the price. Free delivery fabulous! The light is terrible. I have gotten a SeaClear tank before so I knew the light wasn’t coming with a bulb. No biggy. I didn’t expect loose wires and broken bolts that I’m not sure where they go. I won’t be using the light it seems like a fire hazard. Otherwise tank is really nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, beautiful, high end quality and appearance, will never go back to glass
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018
I've had this tank for 1.5 years now. I absolutely love it. You have to be comfortable in the differences in care and maintenance required with acrylics vs glass but I'd never get a glass tank again. The fused top with separate openings creates some limitations but I rarely feel annoyed by it.

My tank is a freshwater set up with an AquaClear 110 filter and I have dwarf gouramis, full sized gouramis, ctenopomas (leaf fish), mollies, and dwarf suckermouth catfish. I purchased a 60-90 gallon stand from petsmart (online only style) and it's worked well.

The acrylic is beautiful, crystal clear, with perfect seams and rounded front edges. I did not use or install the hood or light that came with this, I had already bought a slim profile adjustable bracket multi-setting LED light and leave the top mostly open. I lose a lot to evaporation but I don't mind putting about 4 gallons of fresh treated water in every 10-14 days. I do 50% water changes with a gravel vacuum(Python with 20" tube) I bought on amazon once every month or 2. After the first 6 weeks my water has remained stable and as near perfect as I can get it with tap water that is pH 8.6 and high in nitrates (I used Seachem Prime and pH 7.5 products on tap water before it goes in, both also from amazon) I use the API full water testing kit weekly to bi-weekly.

I was able to fit some very large decor in through the two main openings. It was tricky, but because the pieces weren't solid rectangles, I got things in somehow that are actually larger than the openings (see pics).

I only use paper towels to clean the inside or outside of the tank. They work well for algae. I have no scratches anywhere on the tank 1.5 years in to ownership.

My heater fit right through the heater opening (first had a Zacro 300W, switched to a Aqueon 150W). My thermometer was a smidge too big for the thermometer hole which is slightly annoying since the cord is more visible but I'm dealing with it. I have the tools to enlarge the hole but I've never gotten around to doing so. My filter is enormous and there's still plenty of room on both sides for the filter opening.

Having a fixed top is annoying for netting/catching fish and gravel vacuuming, but I've learned to adapt and I've never not been able to accomplish what I need.

This tank has been an absolute joy to own and enjoy. I will continue to get acrylic tanks and hope to eventually get some larger/taller versions one day and start a discus tank.

This tank was incredibly light, well made, and I've had no bowing, scratches, discoloration, or any issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tank
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2023
I ook off the clear plastic underbody of the light ot came with and replaced it with a different led lamp. That left the rectangular cutout exposed. I keep the tank at 79 degrees and was getting quite a bit of evaporation. So, I put an old keyboard wrist pad there which has the rubber backing and this solved my evaporation problem. Actually doesn't look too bad too. It's been running over a week and I have not seen any measurable amount of water lost to evaporation. The pre-sealed lid works well...look at all the condensation that drips back into the tank. Great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Updating my review of this aquarium.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019
After 3 years of ownership, I sadly have to update this review. I bought this tank and kept it atop 1/4" foam, which was on top of 3/4" plywood, on a stand built with laminated 2x4's for strength. Therefore, there is no warping or distortion of the base. Despite that, the joint between the bottom panel and the front panel has started crazing (microfracturing), and shows signs that it may begin to leak soon.

The material of this tank is only about 1/4" thick, which in my opinion is too thin for this volume of water. The distortion/bowing of the top of the tank is pretty severe after only 3 years of use. I have now drained it and moved all of my fish to a temporary plastic Sterilite container while I make new arrangements for an aquarium.

When I purchased this tank, it was about $265, which was just fine with me. I see it has now almost doubled in price. Yeah, yeah, supply chain and inflation, I get it. But for $750, I am having a custom 1/2" aquarium built by a local professional company. Not much price difference for a much stronger product.

I have added new pictures, including the bowing of the now-drained aquarium's back, and the stress fracturing that's occurring across the entire front panel.

I purchased a 10-gallon SeaClear acrylic tank and it is absolutely lovely. The thin material is not an issue for a volume of water that small. I would still recommend the 10-gallon variant, but not the 50.

I'm sorry to say I no longer recommend this product. Below is my old review, because I feel it's unfair to just delete what I'd written before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a beautiful tank. This is my first foray into acrylic tanks, and I think I've been converted. I bought the 50-gallon, clear-back-panel model to replace an old 20 gallon glass tank. I went acrylic because the seals were starting to look sketchy on my glass tank and I don't want to worry about a blowout.

The clarity is astounding, it makes a spectacular display. There is some bowing of the front panel, which can cause distortion when viewed from close and at an angle, but for 95% of viewing looks absolutely stunning. The distortion that IS present doesn't bother me, personally, but I felt should be noted.

The top panel does bow and distort some (minor), and the filter box cutout is the most bowed part of the whole tank. I don't think it's enough to be a concern, but it is worth noting. Still, for value for the money, I think it's fantastic.

The top panel features holes for airlines on both sides, a hole for the heater, and a wide slot for filters, giving you plenty of options. I use a canister filter on my setup and have plenty of room to slide a prefilter sponge through.

Acrylic tanks are shockingly light. I can pick this 50 gallon up with one hand. It weighs maybe half of what my old glass 20 gallon weighed when empty. I believe acrylic tanks need to be supported evenly across the whole bottom, so be sure you have an appropriate stand with a flat top.

The light that comes with this unit is an absolute joke, I threw it away. It's a single-tube fluorescent fixture with no included bulb. Seriously SeaClear, don't bother. Save the $4 and don't include it! The light comes with a clear plastic piece that CAN be used as a sort of "lid" for the 2 large open areas in the top, but I found it unnecessary and like to run open top anyway.

Not that it matters for this review, but in my picture I am using a Current Satellite + Pro (because I apparently like to spend equal amounts on aquarium and lights), and a Hydor 150 canister. I do not use CO2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tank
Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2020
Was wary about ordering a tank in the mail but it was packaged very well on all corners with styrofoam and came in mint condition, no scratches. This is a great tank the front edges are rounded and viewing inside is better than glass. As everyone says, the light isn't that great so I added a long led one on top. Dimensions of the tank are 36"L x 15"W x 16"T. I was nervous about the cutouts on top of the 40 gal not being big enough to put my tree inside, but they both measure 13 1/8" x 7 1/4" side by side so there was plenty of room. There is also a 15" x 2 3/8" slot on the top rear for your filter. Fits my eheim 2215 just fine and would accommodate a HOB. There is also a 1 5/8" diameter (on smallest dimension, not totally round) hole for your heater cord to go through on top left rear, and would accommodate smaller heaters to fit the top through the hole. Tank empty is only about 20 pounds so very easy to move around. Overall I think it's a great tank for a good price and am happy I bought my first acrylic tank.

( My tank is still cycling and being scaped so sorry about algae and messy small plants in picture.)
