Quick Important Shipping Note:

Update #27 · Oct 26, 2012 · 7 comments

If you have not received your aquarium or tracking number yet there is a chance it is already on route so please be on the lookout!  There has been a delay in us receiving the tracking numbers, however we will be all caught up in getting them distributed  this weekend.  We are expecting more aquariums at your door steps today.  Thank you for your attention as we get this sorted!

Shipping + Aquarium Heater Info and Decorations

Update #26 · Oct 24, 2012 · 7 comments

Hey Backers-

While many have received aquariums by now we are expecting to finalize shipping this week.  We have been scrambling the last couple of days to organize and distribute all the tracking numbers to the proper people in good time, however, some aquariums managed to slip out the shipping dock before we were able to email the tracking info in time.  In other words- please keep your eyes open for your package JUST IN CASE.  

On a warm note, as we head for winter some of you may want to consider an aquarium heater.  The best one we’ve tested is the Marina C10submersible Aquarium Heater.  It has a built in thermostat to avoid overheating and has a red, indicator light so you know when it’s at work.  Make sure to test the heater with a thermometer and without your Betta in the aquarium for at least a day to make sure it’s functioning properly.     

On a cool note, we would love to see your creative aquarium designs!  Please send us photos.  Remember, an aquarium with no decorations is like a house with no furniture.  As you can imagine, lots of creativity can fit inside these aquatic habitats- with a little attention to fine detail and color usage your aquarium will be absolutely eye POPPING- especially with the LEDs!  Feel free to post your pictures on our NoClean Aquariums Facebook page or email them to NoCleanaquariums@gmail.com with subject title “OH YEA TANK!”.  We plan on creating a photo gallery on our website. 

It feel great to finally be shipping our product and will be back with another update soon- THANKS!

Lined up and ready to go!

Update #25 · Oct 12, 2012 · 8 comments

Hey everyone- We are back with some great news! Today our warehouse sent us the picture below that filled our faces with gladness. Our new custom boxes boxes arrived at the warehouse today and survived a two story test fall onto a concrete floor. Your rewards are lined up waiting for the brown trucks and should all be shipped by Wednesday!

Once you receive your NoClean Aquariums™ Self-Cleaning Betta Fish Tank please read the assembly instructions. Our friends and family were nice enough to proof read as well as provide us with some valuable feedback to help ensure the best possible aquarium experience for you!

In the meantime, while waiting for reservoirs and boxes that fit, we've been busy creating some fabulous new aquatic products that we can't wait to share with you once we are ready. Going forward we should be able to move a lot quicker now that we have a great team in place and some experience under our belts. Many thanks again for all your patience, trust and support. We will be sure to keep you updated on anything newsworthy. Have a great weekend!

Shipping Update

Update #24 · Oct 5, 2012 · 12 comments
Just when we thought we were in the clear Murphy's Law strikes again. Our custom boxes were not manufactured to specification and are not properly fitting your aquariums. This was a total shocker since the prototype boxes we approved (pictured in Update #13) literally fit like a glove. If we ship them in the defective boxes it will guarantee catastrophe since the top of the glass aquarium won’t have any padding and will rattle around inside the box. You can see the problem for yourself in the pictures below. The good news is that our box vendor is on top of the situation and rushing the correct boxes through production. We expect to have them shipped to the warehouse by the end of next week. We apologize for this very unexpected delay and will keep you posted as the situation unfolds. Other than that everything else is ready and waiting. To be continued...

Hey everyone- The time has finally come that we've all been waiting for!   That's right, we begin shipping your aquariums this week!  Tomorrow morning we are meeting our warehouse to drop off all the pre-wrapped components that you will find inserted in your aquariums.  These have already been separated by sku to make the pick and pack process as smooth as possible.  We will have another update as soon as we know how many aquariums are expected to ship within the first couple of days and will keep you posted from there.  Thanks again everyone!
