You know that feeling when youāre three dumpsters deep behind a Petco and you spot something shiny reflecting off a smashed iPhone screen? Thatās how I felt when I saw the CLAIRNARA āBring Your Aquatic World to Lifeā listing on Amazon. $59.99. ASIN B0F32CDJMK. A whole underwater universe for the low, low price of a tank of gas Iām never gonna buy because I donāt have a car. I live in a dumpster. The raccoons respect me.
Anyway, I ordered it. Not for fish. Never for fish. You donāt put fish in something youāre gonna use for other things. You know what I mean. You know exactly what I mean. Because if youāre reading this, youāve already Googled āwhat happens when sony fish tankā and youāre wondering if the CLAIRNARA model holds up under pressure. Letās talk.
First, the box arrived. Bigger than I expected. I had to drag it through a storm drain. My buddy (a raccoon named Squeaky) helped me peel the tape off. Inside: a clear acrylic tank, a filter, some gravel that looks suspiciously like the gravel I used to dig through for old french fries. Thereās an LED light strip that cycles through colors. Purple, blue, green, red. The red makes it look like youāre about to perform a ritual. Which, honestly, you might be.
So youāre wondering about the rectal use prospects of a Bring Your Aquatic World to Life - Shop the CLAIRNARA Store on Amazon ā I get it, weāve all been there at 2 AM on Amazon. The honest answer? Itās⦠ambitious. The tank is roughly 12 inches tall. Iām not gonna lie, it takes commitment. The opening is wide enough for one human, maybe two if youāre very good friends. The plastic is thick, but itās not medical-grade. Itās aquarium-grade. Thereās a difference, and you will learn that difference the hard way.
I gave it a whirl. One star for effort, but hereās the thing: the filter keeps running. You think youāre done, you try to extract, and schloop ā the filter kicks on and sucks you back in. I was stuck for an hour. Squeaky had to eat my dinner. The LED lights made it worse. Every time I shifted, the color changed. Blue meant āhelp,ā red meant āIām going to die in a tank I bought for fish.ā
Bottom line: worth buying sony fish tank? Only if youāre okay with your neighbors finding you in a semi-clear container with a look of deep regret on your face. The gravel gets everywhere. Iām still picking it out of places I didnāt know had openings.
Donāt do it. Or do it. Iām not your dad. But if you do, at least have a friend with a crowbar.
