I was hoping that this would be a better home for my daughter's betta fish than a standard crappy tank from petsmart. It's not. There are a lot of flaws with the design. Filters are only available online and you have to pay $7 shipping. Gravel can get caught in the seams in below the tank that are impossible to get out that makes the latch barely stick that holds the tank down. Sometimes if i walk in the room the latch will come undone an the tank will pop up. I'm overweight but I don't need a fish tank telling me that. It also happens with my 50 lbs daughter so I don't feel so bad.
And then you find out the real problem. Since its plastic, it flexes. Since it flexes, if you get close to filling the tank up the full way, when you close the tank, water shoots out of the top. Nothing I like more than getting sprayed by skanky fish water.
Totally disappointed with the overall design on what should have been a superior tank.
CI bought the bio bubble before the holidays as a family gift. It is a big hit! We have three goldfish that the kids love to watch. I love that everything was incorporated. Filter, light (in our set although I think it could be extra normally) and the fact that it is easy to clean is a huge plus! Customer service is also amazing! We had an issue insertion ting the rubber tube when putting this together, called and left a message on a Sunday night and got a call back in 30 min (even though by that point we had figured it out). Also, I accidentally dropped the dome when cleaning and the rubber gasket somehow tore. Causing a leak. I called customer service and got a new gasket delivered in less then a week! This is our first tank and I highly recommend! I want to get one for each of the kids!
