Jan 1, 2017 · The Comet system in my store is just under 300 gallons, and in no way has anything to do with the main system.

Any reason to avoid Petsmart's Top Fin glass aquariums?
Aug 9, 2022 · I looked at that tank two weeks ago. the tank itself probably adequate. comes with lids and a LED Light.

Anyone else not have luck with PetSmart fish, or am I doing …
Sep 11, 2021 · I have purchased from Petsmart and Petco and haven't had many problems. One fish did have internal parasites and died because I didn't have meds on hand and the order took too long.
