i have the 155L(41gal). ill try to take some pics in a few days. the only thing i dont like is that its an open top so i have to replace water every day or so. i also have a fan above it so im sure that adds to the chore. you will have to add more filtration. mine came with a fluval 205, but i paid a little more and traded out for a 304....needless to say it still wasnt what i wanted so i have put a power filter on as well.
well i was going to take pics when i found out the sister in law has camera.ill get it back and snap some. i painted the back too, it has that light bar you will see plus the other equip i didnt want to see.. have you seen the tank in person? the corners are nice. they are not "tighty rounded like on an acrylic tank but more shallow.... besides its modern but natural look my fav. thing is the rim. It is a rimless tank, BUT it has that false rim on it. Now i have HARD water where im at so i always get those hard water lines but the false rim covers them. im not convinced that the glass is the best quality. i have 2 or 3 small (pin head) black circles in the glass. You really have to look hard to see them but even the glass feels different when i clean it from any other tank ive ever owned
I saw the Tank a few months ago a store near me was carrying the full line and had display models for all of them but the 260, that was the first place I saw them and fell in love with the design. At the time my only concern was the stand being mdf being near water all the time without swelling or deterioration. I love the rounded front corners and the square back mixed with the natural flowing lines of the stand and hardware, its a beautiful set up.
lol...dont worry about the stand..mine (24x24x18)weighed 80lbs. and its not like the walmart mdf. ive had a small mishap and got water all in the inside, wiped right up. the mdf is covered very well. the only thing i can think is if the water get between the covering and sits for a good amount of time. The stand will weigh a ton if you get it
I have the same one pictured, I love it. Though once in awhile I have a fish bail out. And you do replace about 5-6 gallons a week.
I've seen them in the store. They are beautiful tanks, but pricey! How big would the filter be for the 320? It comes with one, right? I think I read that...
