Product Description
With swaying palms and the echo of distant drums,let the Aloha Tiki model transport you into the romance of Polynesia. This cylindrical aquarium is incorporated within a delicately carved tiki statue, detailed with native images. With its hand-carved appearance and authentic finishes, this aquarium is sure to be a conversation piece. These unique and highly detailed pieces are the perfect accessory to any interior. Each aquarium is completely self-contained and features a museum quality coral reef sculpture, an advanced submersible filtration system, and a power compact lighting unit with 10 watt fluorescent bulb.Each aquarium utilizes the latest technology in water filtration design and is equipped to function in a fresh water or salt water environment. The advanced 90 gph silent submersible filtration system effectively replicates the natural processes of waste removal with built in mechanical, chemical and biological capabilities, ensuring optimal water quality in your aquarium. Complete with a venturi valve to adjust the oxygen output and a rotating return for regulating surface agitation, the filter also allows you to control the direction and rate of the water flow. Convenient filtration media cartridges are ready to use and can be changed in seconds. All components are fully removable for easy access and cleaning procedures. The filter pads and carbon cartridges are standardized items and can be purchased at most aquarium retailers.The lighting used in all aquariums is a custom UL rated lighting fixture with a brilliant 10 watt self ballasted, 6500K fluorescent bulb. Positioned and mounted above the reef to avoid obstruction and shading, the compact system evenly deflects light throughout the tank.

Gorgeous design, but unpractical for most uses December 4, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this fish tank from a LFS (local fish store) because I knew it was a great find, being on sale for only $130. This tank is gorgeous. That being said, keep in mind that its overall shape (tall cylinder) might be not the best choice for most fish-keeping (a short-long tank is preferred in most cases because it has more surface area). In my opinion the best feature this tank has is the hidden hardware (heater and filter behind the "coral" wall), and the worse is the size (very small water volume, maybe 5 gal?) and shape, which limits its use. Although it makes an awesome tank for dwarf seahorses, it won't work for most fish.
PROS - very unique design, gorgeous, hidden hardware, hidden cables.
CONS - small volume, tall cylinder shape might limit use, hard to clean.
