Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This aquarium is drop shipped from Walmart.com at a small profit for the seller. And by drop ship, I mean they must have dropped it before shipping it. Currently priced under $15 directly from Walmart (which is reasonable considering it's Walmart quality). It's poorly packed, in a single box with little protection for the glass or seams. The plastic edging on mine featured a very large crack down two sides, and some of the plastic missing. (I searched carefully for that piece of plastic in the box... It wasn't there. Take that as you will) There was no damage to the exterior of the box. Next gripe; is the moderately cured caulking which is generally clear, but has large sections that are opaque white. Additionally the caulking job is mediocre at best, its sloppy and ugly which makes it look like it was assembled by someone who didn't know what they were doing, or perhaps practicing caulking their bathtub by assembling aquariums in their spare time. Surprisingly there does not appear to be any chips or cracking in the glass panels themselves, and it did survive a leak test (so far). But my overall impression is that I could have spent $25 to have some glass cut, glue them together with silicone myself, and still done a better job than this. If you want an inexpensive aquarium for your goldfish it probably will work, but do yourself a favor and go pick one out in the store that actually looks like it passed a quality inspection. Most of the chain pet stores are at the same price point for this type of aquarium.
