Highlighted Reviews

— Brenda

"If your aquarium has the silicone that extends past the corners, this item will not stick to the bottom unless you pull it away from the edge. This leaves just enough space that baby turtles have the potential of getting stuck between the item and the glass."

Bottom Line

Carefully assess before purchasing. Customer service may be of help if there are mentioned problems.
