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