"I use this for my frogs, they are doing very well and are good boys. Everything works well"

β€” Julz

"This tank was great, until it started leaking! We’ve had the tank set up since July of 2020 and it just started to leak. I can’t determine where the leak is coming from, but it was pooling around the outer rim and slowly leaking out. :-("

Bottom Line

This product probably performs fine at the very beginning, but longevity issues including the health concerns of the pets and overall maintenance make this a no go
