this coffee table aquarium has the best design you will find on the market. i first ordered a midwest coffee table aquarium from petco. the comparison would be a model t ford to a luxurious mercedes benz. this aquarium has all the wiring hidden in the columns. the wiring for the lights(4 of them)the pumps and the heater. the aquarium holds around 44 gals. (the midwest said it held 28 gals but only held 22. that's a big difference. 6 inches of fish to be exact.) the aquavim table looks like a nice piece of furniture. the table is about 50 inches long and 24 inches wide at the middle. it comes with a beveled glass top that would cost about $300.00 to replace. everything is so thought out. there are 5 toggle switches on the front that control each pump (2) each light (again 2) and 1 for the heater.(which is also included) there's an under gravel filter with a series of pvc piping (with holes) and two pumps at either end hidden in the columns. these pumps circulate 160 gals. of water per hour. they have a venturi to increase or decrease the amount of air flow. two of the columns are water tight and 1 houses the electric wiring and the other could be used for more electrical hook-ups. i had the pleasure of e-mailing and talking on the phone to alex from fishtankwholeseller. he was so nice and helpful answering all my questions and responding promptly to my e-mails. he took time to assist me before i even made a purchase. very nice man. the final thing i had a concern about was the ability to get this aquarium table to my house in one piece. not to worry.it was packed for shipping so well i think it could have shipped around the world with no problem! in closing if you're in the market for an aquarium coffee table you can't go wrong with this one. it's beautiful!!!!

This table is something that you want to think very long and hard about before buying. I bought this table about a year ago and still enjoy it very much. Some of the positives are that no one i know has ever heard of a fish tank table before, therefore adds class to our home well as a conversation starter. Our was son 6 months old when we bought this table still loves to take naps on the floor by it. The sound of the water movement is pacifying well as he loves to watch the fish and the bubblers in motion. Now some of the negatives. The table being all glass and acrylic glass means everything is very visible. To use a filter and/ or a bubbler in this tank the wires and the filter itself are very noticeable. I strongly dislike that they are noticeable. But the underwater filter supplied with the tank is quiet small. I was thinking of buying a few small mirrors the size of the filter and placing them around the filter to some what make the filter less noticeable. This problem still did not discourage me from loving this table. Another issue is the wires to plug in the under the table light, the filter and the bubblers. If you have hardwood floors you can just buy a throw rug to hide the cords. I, on the other hand have carpeting in my living room. And also rent a half double. My landlord was nice enough to let me cut two little holes in the carpet. One under the tank and one under my couch. There is an outlet behind my couch. I strung the cords under the carpeting. This is very unnoticeable and worked great. The only problem this method posed was that in order to add a new device or get rid of another one i would have to unstring and restring them through the carpet. I do not like the filter that the tank came with because it is very hard to find replacement cartridges for it. I cant get them at a regular pet store, i have to special order them. Another issue is the lighting. The tank comes with a small light that shines one direction. Two are needed for equal lighting. I cannot find this light anywhere online to purchase a second. If i place the light under the middle of the tank, half of the tank is dark while half is perfectly lit. If i place it under the far edge (where i found was best to have it), the tank is all lit but dimmer on the far side. No heater can be used in this tank because it will cause condensation on the lid, the table top itself. that does not look pretty. I have hardy fish like goldfish, guppies, mollies, ect that are doing fine without the heater. Another issue is i am a big fan of bubblers and bubble stones. I love to have many bubblers in my tank. The bubbles pop at the top of the water creating droplets of water on the lid of the tank. After having this water on the inside lid of the tank my lid is now stained. I clean it and clean it and the water mark from where my bubblers are will not go away. To prevent the water droplets on the lid i would not fill the tank as high as it could go. But to me that was less room for my happy fish. In my opinion this tank would be a lovely idea for just water and plants. not a prosperous fish environment. Another issue i cant forget is how easily dirtied the lid gets. Yes i have a baby. And he loves to stick his sticky fingers all over the glass. So if you are an older couple, and the kids are grown up this is a great tank for you. Even will all the negative i have listed, i still enjoy my fish tank table. So think hard about whether or not you want it before spending the huge amount of money. This tank doesnt take a lot to maintain, the only thing is cleaning the glass everyday where my son messes.
