Mine cracked this week and leaked 70 gallons on the floor. Ruined EVERY floor in the house. Probably why they discontinued it.....

@ShannonV3 I guess you were very unlucky mate, I had 2 tanks crack on me in the past usually my fault in having a unstable base.. IE Tiny bit of gravel under the glass, or no foam under it or maybe the stand being uneven.. Hard lessons to learn. Repairable by just siliconing a thick slab of glass over the crack and starting over. (If the wife will let you..) :) Replace the stand or use thicker under tank polystyrene or foam to even out the base dont let it put you off aquariums! good luck.

Mayo, if you search for VadoVoodoo in YouTube you'll see that that was an early setup that evolved over the year.. BTW marines? Been there, done that.. :) I loved them but they really are beyond my budget and beyond the time needed to invest in servicing tanks cleaning skimmers testing daily, cost of salt, oh just turned out to be more hard work, I mean I have other hobbies too, I mean when would I find time to fly my RC Models? :)

Very nice tank mate. Thinking of settingg up a 155 as a marine setup. Is the light unit adjustable for height at all? And would you say the filter is good? Thanks.

[VadoVoodoo]

@Witheraf The light unit is indeed adjustable it can be raised lowered or place further back or forward mines forward and low the reasoning being that if i wanted to add lamps i could stick them behind the original fitting as I am unlikely to find a duplicate thats cheap enough. So when I fit a standard mylar reflector (Someday..) then it wont be so visible from the front. The Fluval 305 has totally fulfilled it's purpose but I did supplement it with a Fluval IV internal. For marines get More

great tank I love the Osaka, wonder why they discontinued it?

[VadoVoodoo]

@vunday Wish i could say.. I just love mine the curved glass and open top are great features and the cabinet and lamps and filters supplied are just quality.

[SuperShori]

how much was that ?

What a waste of a nice tank! On cold water fish! At least do tropical man. Marine is the way forward!!!!

[Witheraf]

@vadovoodoo thanks, I was planning to supplement it with an eheim echo and a deltec skimmer.

@Kithornt You know I wished I could answer that! I read somewhere there were early build problems, but every other Osaka owner I have found on the web loves the tank, lights and stand and thinks like me that the build quality is superb! All I know is now I own something unique and desireable that has the "Wow" factor as well ! :)
