The one bouncing on the bottom has swim bladder disease; it usually comes from overfeeding. He might still be able to live if you stop feeding him for 3-4 days, otherwise he'll die. You probably want to isolate him to make sure. If other ones are doing that definitely lessen food you're giving them.
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately he has a permanent swim bladder issue for over a year now. I had done many things to help him, but nothing has worked. He is still eating and doing ok. The day that we feel he is suffering, we will euthanized him.
I would make a solid wood stand it's very easy, that's 1,000 lbs on that stand. Especially if you have children in the house God forbid it collapses. Overall it's a very nice set up. 👌
Sorry to hear your fx6 fail. They work great, but when they leak, it can be a nightmare. I place a leak sensor next to fx6 just for safety. Overall though, i have no issue with the stand.
i’ve been thinking about getting this tank since i first saw it during petsmart’s black friday sale. i ended up not getting it because of the reviews about the stand and some leaks. your video, as well as a few others have made me want to get it for sure. i will be building a stand though, should be much more secure and better quality. is your inner silicone lining overall in good shape? im thinking about relining it myself when i get it. great video!
Thank you. The inner linings of silicone are great. No problem there. As for the stand… i know others never have a problem with it. When you make your purchase, make sure to look at the stand closely for defects from transportation. If there are no defects, you should be ok. I am some what careful when changing water. Get a little spill here and there. Just clean it off right away and you shouldn’t have problem. Building your own stand is a great idea as well. You can get this stand for 25% off if you play petsmart treat trail.
a good idea for this stand would be to add some wood bracing inside. thats what i will be doing when i get mine. its a nice looking stand but just needs a bit more strength.
Crazy to see that this was filmed only 6-7 months ago. The price is now $900. Unfortunate because the great thing about this kit was always the price but it is getting less and less worth it imo.
Yeah it was great for the price a few months ago. I still like this tank very much. Keep an eye out for deals though. Black Friday is coming up. They usually have good deals then.
@@joseCalderon1976I bought it last weekend with a 20% off discount on top of the $699 so it came down to $559 before tax. I will reinforce the stand with 2x4 studs before setting it up though.
Are you saying two of those stands from petco could hold this tank? I want to buy it but want a better stand and was going to try to find a way to use multiple smaller stands… hmm
@@briellbartell5562 100% yes, I also recommend some type of foam or spacers between the bottom of the aquarium and the top of the stand additionally quality absorbent matting with good grip such as that used in a gym.

@@DavidBrown-hn4fl I used Yoga mat .75 inches thick mat which levels itself. I guess 15-20 bucks for the yoga mat at Walmart. I put the mat under glass tank and over the stand. I use 40 breeder with 40 gallon Walmart stand. The stand is real wood!!!
nice! no blue lighting, background and substrate and wave movers are ok, I have 125 gallon but I put mines on cylinder blocks and wood using paint for back ground much stronger for any thing above 1800 pounds but this is nice enjoy!
DIY stand for it is the safest. I am very careful with water around this factory stand. One day though… i might have to make my own as well to be safe.
Nice review. I've been looking at that tank combo for a minute but the reviews on the stand ain't nothing nice! Hopefully if you don't upgrade it, yours will be one of the few that will last.
I know others who have the same tank without problems. The most important thing is to make sure you don’t spill and let water sit at its base. I always use towels and put on my floor when i change water so any spill will get absorbed quickly. I have seen other people actually built a small base out of real wood and put the stand on. That is a smart solution to water spill problem.
@@CuteFishOnly building stand yourself also helps with ease of mind and saving money. Going to need to for my larger tanks soon. For now I refurbished real wood furniture for the purpose of a stand and it worked great for my 75g.
Honestly, I would never buy one of these from petsmart. I have a 125 gallon tank, exact same dimensions and whenever I saw the one at Petsmart something didn't look right to me. I took a closer look and measured the glass thickness of mine vs theirs and mine was nearly 1/4" thicker glass, these things are SO thin it freaks me out.
Be warned!!! I have the same tank and stand not even a year now. And this morning I noticed it starting to crack about 3" long down the center of the glass. Searching for a replacement before it gives out
28 inches is quite large. They might have problems turning in the tank because the widths is tight. Sometimes if they try to turn and not enough room, they will end up hurting themselves and can lead to infections and/or death. I think a 220 gallons will be the minimum for that shark.
I am not sure if you mean stacking two stands then the fish tank in top or build your own stands? I wouldn’t put too much extra weight with the tank full since the stand only designed to hold the tank alone with a little more give.
I just looked it's 650.00 and you can still use a 20% off coupon and it stays around this pice since I've been looking at it for the last few months trying to make up my mind if I want to buy this or by a tank cheap that's used and build a stand it always comes down to time or money
Not with the goldfish, but i do have another 125 gallons tank with cichlids like flowerhorn. I don’t want to get too big of a fish though. Not enough room.
@@richardcolligon4277he tank is cheap, the fun starts after you buy it lol i got my 55 gallon for 400$ but ended up spending 1000$ more just for the stuff and i did it the cheap way
Do you clear the goldfish poop manually and how often? I love the clean design of no subtrate but wondering how to manage the waste... is the pump filter good enough to handle it all?
The glass on both tanks has a light tint. It is hard to show in video. if you ever see the difference between the ultra clear glass vs this, you will notice it right away.
aquarium stands & such I don't trust them so I make my own from thick wall pvc 2 inch & a counter top that I have a 75 gal on & it holds the tank sturdy cause the counter top is attached to the wall & strapped to the pvc pipe so it's not going any where. That's a pretty good size aquarium, makes me want to rethink about what I was planning with the stock tank idea I had ? hum
Yeah, building your own stand will always be better. 125 gallons give you a lot of options for a variety of fish. Try some cichlids if you want something different than goldfish.
Very nice tank but i would recomend that you put substrate in i think your best option would be sand because the substrate is very important for holding fish waste and other stuff such as food
You can as long as it doesn’t grow to 24 inches long. Just be careful when buying a “shark.” Sometimes they can get very big such as bala shark. Anything 12 inches or slightly bigger will have no issue in this tank
this is The absolute worse tank and stand set up. The stand is cheap made with very very low quality particle board or plywood and if it gets WET its over. It will warp and your tank will shift to try and compensate only to bust the seals an leak. plz upgrade the stand cmon
@@CuteFishOnly sorry I didn't mean your tank but topfin your tank looked good but top fin needs to do better with that crappy stand I wonder how many tank n stand combo's they had to replace
It has swim bladder problem. Been like that for a year now. We tried everything. I don’t expect it to live long, but I keep it as long as it still eating and active. If I see it starting to deteriorate, I will euthanize it.

Thank you very much. There are some algae for sure. Just takes cleaning which i do weekly.
Nice looking tank. Pretty fish.
Thank you very much.

Thanks. Either set up will do well.
Nice beautiful take does that fluval filter use a lot of electricity???? Thank you
Fluval is actually very efficient. Low power usage. Highly recommended
Ya I'm totally going to do this
It is a great tank. Highly recommended
This kit is now $1300 + Canadian at PetSmart. Is the bottom tempered this would make a nice reef tank if it could be drilled.

That's a bad problem that will get you scrambling for a fix. Good Luck
@@mrm8293 upgraded to a 140gal acrylic 👍
So could I puts epaulette shark in it because it can grow a max of 28 in but they r couch potatoes and they normally walk
28 inches is quite large. They might have problems turning in the tank because the widths is tight. Sometimes if they try to turn and not enough room, they will end up hurting themselves and can lead to infections and/or death. I think a 220 gallons will be the minimum for that shark.
Is there an option to change the led lights into blue lights??
No only one option for light
If I were to stack 2 of these counters, then the fish tank, would it still support well?
I am not sure if you mean stacking two stands then the fish tank in top or build your own stands? I wouldn’t put too much extra weight with the tank full since the stand only designed to hold the tank alone with a little more give.
cinder blocks...painted black..sturdy
That will work too
Did it come with the filtration system or did you get that separately
You have to get it separately. Recommend fluval fx6

This is a great tank. I had no problem with both. Have them for at least 2 years or more now.
how has the tank/stand held up? The reviews on these stands scare me
It actually is ok. No problem for me. Stand is holding up well.
When do Petsmart have their Black friday?????
Thanksgiving time is the best time to buy any tanks from Petsmart. Best deals of the year.
My guess is they have it ON BLACK FRIDAY?..... I could be wrong tho..... 😂
Can I put an asian arowana in this if I change the lid or is it still not strong enough?
The lid should be heavy enough to prevent the fish from jumping out. You shouldn’t have to replace it.
Are you gonna add any predator fish like Oscars, or a Red Tail Catfish?
Not with the goldfish, but i do have another 125 gallons tank with cichlids like flowerhorn. I don’t want to get too big of a fish though. Not enough room.
Do you ever have problems with prown algea sticking to bare bottom
tank
Yes, but only at the beginning. Once the tank “matures,” brown algae is gone
How much was the total cost? My eye's are not good so I couldn't read the writing. Very nice fish and tank.

then take care of your garden likewise your soul ❤️
God bless you
Thank you. I do like sand especially white, but Bare bottom makes it easier for me to clean. Many blessings to you and the family!!!!

this what I like to see on RUclips love for what you do
Do you clear the goldfish poop manually and how often? I love the clean design of no subtrate but wondering how to manage the waste... is the pump filter good enough to handle it all?
I have fluval fx 6 filter. It is a beast. Use a wave maker to help push the poop to the filter and you are good to go. No need to clean poop
How is the tank and stand holding up?
Still working like when i got them.
if the tank is 2 ft tall its actually 135 gallons 125 gallons is about 20 or 21 inches tall
There are the rims top and bottom. They are pretty thick
The blue tint looking through the glass is light refraction from the water in the aquarium 🤣 the glass is clear
The glass on both tanks has a light tint. It is hard to show in video. if you ever see the difference between the ultra clear glass vs this, you will notice it right away.
How is your tank doing? On sale right now at PetSmart for $699
They are doing great. Holding up no problem
Petsmart still offers this kit?
Yes but gotten a lot more expensive now. I would wait for a sale and then do the Treat Trail for another 25% off then it will be a great deal
Does anyone know when a good time is to buy this ? It's $719 before taxes right now at petsmart .
Black Friday will have the best deal.
aquarium stands & such I don't trust them so I make my own
from thick wall pvc 2 inch & a counter top that I have a 75 gal
on & it holds the tank sturdy cause the counter top is attached

Yeah I remember when it was $650. Inflation is crazy.
Now it's 900 lol
Wow😍😍😋

Awsome
Thank you so much.
What's the dimension of tank?
Dimensions:
Tank: 73 in L x 20 in W x 24 in H
Stand: 74 in L x 21 in W x 30 in H
Capacity: 125 Gallons (473 L)
It is a decent tank size for the price
Very nice tank but i would recomend that you put substrate in i think your best option would be sand because the substrate is very important for holding fish waste and other stuff such as food
Thank you for your suggestions. Substrate does look nice but maintenance on it takes too long. That is why I went with bare bottom. 😀
How’s the tank and stand now?
They are good. No problem at all
What do you expect for 750$ most 125gal tanks and stand combos are easily 3-6 grand so for half that you can get into the big tank size
It is a good deal
@@CuteFishOnly yep that glass clarity would be the only downside for me because of that low price
I assume you don't have basement.. That's lot of weight👍👍
No basement for me.

good job filming the fish with swim bladder disease.
It has swim bladder disease for a long time now. I don’t want to euthanize it because it is still active and feeding.
@@CuteFishOnly hmmm... thats a goldfish for ya... I would separate him and hold off on feeding him for a while. Just to see if he can pull out of it.
Can I put a small shark in it
You can as long as it doesn’t grow to 24 inches long. Just be careful when buying a “shark.” Sometimes they can get very big such as bala shark. Anything 12 inches or slightly bigger will have no issue in this tank
So I could proboaly do a epaulette shark they only get roughly 24 in vc Ww and they are couch potato’s and they don’t move much
I just bought this setup for 699.
It is a great tank. I still have both and working well
Sand ???
No unfortunately. Cleaning takes too much time since I have quite a few tanks. Lol
@@CuteFishOnly fair enough 👌🏻
It blue GREEN HULK GREEN
The tank glass has a slight blue tint to it. Not ultra clear
i heard lots of these broke because cheap stand made out of pressboard broke read reviews on website
I haven’t had any issue with the stand for about a year now. As long as they don’t get water damage, i think they will be fine
Big👍▶️▶️
Thank you
What's up with that poor little fish
He has swim bladder issue. Unfortunately he passed away a few months back.
North American aquatics makes a better set up.
Thanks. Will check them out
Every thing looks green,,the glass is cheap and green and not clear at all . It’s worth like 100 bucks
Glass quality can definitely be better.
The fish is just bouncing off the bottom.. lmfao... Nice tank and set up tho
Thank you. They are so cute. Sometimes they stack on each other when they are sleeping
Too close to couch. Ugly stand. No substrate
Substrate is nice, but I don’t have the time to clean them.
this is The absolute worse tank and stand set up. The stand is cheap made with very very low quality particle board or plywood and if it gets WET its over. It will warp and your tank will shift to try and compensate only to bust the seals an leak. plz upgrade the stand cmon

To be honest with you, this Aquarium setup is not very impressive.
U gotta fish dying.
It has swim bladder problem. Been like that for a year now. We tried everything. I don’t expect it to live long, but I keep it as long as it still eating and active. If I see it starting to deteriorate, I will euthanize it.
Where's your substrate?
I decided to not use substrates for easy cleaning. Substrate does look better though
