Small Magnetic Acclimation Breeder Box Anemone Coral Strong N52 Magnets for 1/2" glass (4.5" Cube)

Absolutely was able to put this together and it worked well I have a Red Sea hundred and 31 gallon aquarium The glass is thick and it really worked well held well easy to assemble.However it arrived late fish died day before.

I don't typically write reviews but this box was exactly what I was looking for and I am very happy with it. It has enough room for one medium to large sized fish or three small fish (comes with dividers to keep them separated if needed). Magnets worked great.

I read a number of reviews prior to purchasing this that highlighted the difficulties of putting it together and I thought "these are probably individuals that don't know how to build things" but I can tell you that is not the case. The product is made of very cheap plastic (including the screws that strip out easily) and are designed to fit together with tabs and cutouts that in theory fit together like a puzzle-sadly that is not the case. I spent about an hour building it and have reviewed the simple directions multiple times to insure it has been built to the manufacturers specifications but the pieces simply do not fit together properly and because of this there is no structure or sturdiness to the product. I am debating if I want to put it in my tank to acclimate fish, my concern is that if a curious fish comes to check out the new comer and hits the side of the box it may fall apart and allow the new fish to swim freely in the rest of the aquarium, obviously defeating the purpose of the acclimation box. My other concern is that the all sides except the front are made of a milky white plastic that I question if the other fish would even be able to see through, again defeating the purpose of allowing the existing fish to acclimate to the new comer. I regret the purchase and wish I had opted for a higher end unit to start with.

Perfect size for the fish tank. Easy to assemble. Stays in place with the magnet. Very pleased

Considering everything is plastic including the hardware, its fairly good quality. Not like most flimsy plastics and acrylics nowadays. The number and size of the slots are adequate for water flow and keeping most creatures in/out. Magnets are great. Would have been better if it was nut and bolt to hold the sides together instead of the tongue and grove slots. It may lift and fall apart if you're not careful putting it in or moving it around

I have used this box to acclimate several fish now. It works but I would not buy again. I found the box construction very flimsy. It's only had a couple of fasteners and falls apart quit easily. The magnets are weak as well and barly held on my 120 gallon tank. The box is big so I personally would not use it on a much smaller Aquarium. Point being a box of this size should have more powerful magnets. The only good thing I can say is the acrylic is nice quality.

The media could not be loaded. Had some issues on Amazon’s end that customer service said twice they had fixed. I kept holding out for a ship date which never came after a month. I placed the order again for smaller boxes since the one I originally ordered no longer had the amount I needed in stock. The seller immediately noticed the second order and then noticed the issue with the first order. Reach out to me to discuss the issue. Upgraded my box sizes for the same price as the size down for my troubles. Shipped and arrived within days!The boxes are excellent! Worth the wait! I used a needle in an inconspicuous corner to get the film lifted. I’d rather have a non-noticeable pin scratch in a corner than wrestle that film. Also, hold firmly to those magnets! They are strong! They held together with my fingers between them. The very first one pulled from my fingers and smacked against the box. Lesson learned real quick! Whether or not it could cause a crack in the box or a tank, I don’t know, but not willing to chance it so I was more careful after that.

‼》PROS—~ assembles easily~ sturdy acrylic~ decent amount of vent slots on all panels~ magnet is decently strong; no slipping or sliding~ detachable lid~ no pieces to erode or rust; fully acrylic~ extra set of screws just in case~ true to stated dimensions❌》CONS—~ slightly flimsy; panels don't lock solidly together (but wont fall apart once fully assembled correctly.)~ lid doesn't interlock/lock; simply lays atop the box~ cannot hold sand or fine substrate; vent slots are too large✅》OVERALL— 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐pretty decently made box. wished the panels interlocked together a little more sturdily, but for the price, it's pretty nice. there are clear protectant layers you need to peel off before actually using it (for all the people complaining about it being "foggy" or not crystal clear. lol.) but it is actually completely transparent. it works pretty well for the purpose that i needed it for— temporarily housing anemones, so they wouldn't take walks all over my tank. and it is somewhat of a pain to clean if algae decides to collect and build onto it, but i just purchased my second box, so its definitely worth it if this is what you're looking for.
