"Ok so the packing was crappy and the fedex driver literally slammed it down hard. But it made it in one piece! But it’s a nice tank can’t wait to get it set up!"

"I received my package earlier this week and didn't open it until this weekend when I had time to set it up. The glass is shattered. It was shipped in a cardboard box with no additional packing:("
