I recently purchased a 38 gallon aquarium from here. I asked the employee what basic necessities I would need to set it up and about how much it would cost. For a filter, heater and substrate would be about $170. When asking about the filter, he said a 30 gal filter for a 38 gal tank would be fine.... even though filters should be able to sustain the bioload of a tank larger than what you have. When I checked out, the same employee rang me up and he could not focus at ALL; he couldn't remember the price of anything, what he'd told me before about the products, kept running in the back for extended periods of time when there was a line of people waiting to check out behind me. The price of the tank, filter, substrate, heater, and hood (which wasn't included on the tank) was $240, not $170 like he originally said. Which is fine, I just wish he would have been more concise about pricing). The tank didn't come in a box but they did wrap it up for me in cardboard, which I appreciate. Afterwards I double checked the recommended filter size for a 38 gal tank and later exchanged the 30 gal filter for a 55 gal. which was annoying because they should have suggested the 55 gal filter in the first place. Long story short, my quick tank research beforehand was more helpful than the employee. I will not be returning for fish or aquarium advice.
