I agree one hundred percent! Taking care of your fish by performing water changes and keeping the tank in proper living conditions are all part of the fun of keeping fish. It allows you to take pride in the little ecosystem you have created that is life sustaining! If you just want a "trophy tank" without any work then I suggest you pay close attention in school so you can afford to hire someone to take care of your huge built in 1200 gallon saltwater tank when you become an adult!!!!
Lol, seriously though, no, I would not buy this item and yes I think it is a huge waste of money!
