This aquarium functions as advertised…no leaks, looks fantastic, and It came well packaged in a large shipping crate. Inside the crate the aquarium was sufficiently protected with thick 2”-3” foam padding and was scheduled with Wayfair and the delivery team in advance with delivery inside our front door confirmed by a 30 minute window of arrival. The aquarium itself is very heavy…300lbs, but it should be to hold 150 gallons of water along with the rocks/sand. The bottom has rubber feet to protect your floor and a hidden quick drain connector below the aquarium to drain maybe even refill. I prefer refilling using an empty 5 gallon water jug to balance chemical placement. I accidentally threw away the rear water filter foam thinking it was just packaging, so I would recommend following the manufacturer instructions. If you’re not aware the fabric packaging for the ceramic rings and bacteria house media can remain in the bags as placed in the product video. We rinsed off the ceramic rings and bacteria house before filling the aquarium. The aquarium color is perfectly matched to our living and dining room emperor marble look. We were able to reuse the foam padding to assist with moving the aquarium from the crate to the floor by level stacking from two levels, followed by one level, followed by just the floor level. The white tubing remains in the rear right with the water pump and circulates the water from the rear filtration compartments to the front left. The aquarium came with two led light bars that have 3 different color looks. I know with AI these days pictures can be deceiving, but the advertised picture can be trusted. My wife loves her birthday gift.
