I bought this tank from Petco. I love it. I had another one before and it was ridiculous. This one is awesome.
It has beautiful shape which complements the length of your couch as a coffee table. it has 28 gal capacity nice for fish. People complaint about the glass top but hey its a coffee table. stronger glass is of course better. you will put all kinds of stuff on it too... It is perfect weight to be able to pick by one person (girl/guy) and is crystal clear. Condensation will be a problem with every coffee table aquarium... only way to optimize it is to keep the water level 6-7 inches below the top glass.. reason is pump filters water and add bubbles and the bubbles escape towards the top glass....
but that is with every aquarium...
Also, fish cannot escape from this tank. That is wrong. Only certain type of fish will like eels. You should shop accordingly.
Blue gravel is awesome. This table will astonish your guests and everyone will love it. Have fun. I love mine.

This is an impressively beautiful tank, the perfect centerpeice for our living room. I recommend you install a floor-mount duplex receptacle as I did to eliminate having any visible power cords (the outlet is hidden beneath the tank - one is always-on power for the pump, the other is for the light which I wired to a wall switch so you can turn the light on and off). Someone complained the top is too heavy, but it is not - very easy to remove by yourself, or slide a bit for feeding/maintenance. The weight is just right. I do see a little condensation on the underside of the glass top where the air bubbles surface, but it's not significant and not a problem - it doesn't hurt anything. Another reviewer complained about fish being able to jump out the openings on the sides: I haven't experienced this, maybe with certain types of fish it might be a problem (exacerbated perhaps by too high a water level?) - but if I did have this problem I would simply make some wire-mesh cutouts in the proper shape and fashion some clips to hold them in place. In short, don't be dissuaded by the other reviewers - buy this tank and you will likely be very pleased, as we are.
Good in theory, but not for "real life"March 6, 2006 Bonita(Seattle) 113 out of 116 found this review helpful
Just look at the advertised picture of this table...beautiful, but once you get it home and set it up, far less enchanting! The glass top is super heavy,the space between the top of the tank and the glass top is too wide (I lost a few fish that escaped this way). I ended up having to modify the table by purchasing an acrylic top, drilling holes on the four corners to lower decrease the gap. Also, there is a condensation problem if you don't have the tank temp. almost excatly the same as the room temp. I definitely believe this is a big time waste of money and do not recommend this to anyone.
If you are looking for a good tank, try the Nanocube, or one of the marineland eclipse tanks. They are good, reliable, easy to use.
