Zilla Premium Turtle Kit | Review
Zilla asked me to review their Premium Turtle Kit. They sent me a brand new in the box kit so I can tell you about it.
The idea is a practical turtle tank that looks good as well. Something modern, which any office, store, or person would be proud to show off, they succeeded. The tank kit they sent me was the 20l, which works great for some of the smaller turtle species (spotted, mapped, etc), babies, or any other aquatic animals, frogs, axolotl, etc.
For anything bigger, you’re going to want to upgrade to the 40l.
The look is awesome, functional, and complete, down to food and water conditioner!
A couple of things I noticed, I would have preferred the waterfall filter was able to be moved into different positions easier. It has one side basically for climbing up on, 2 sides flat, so it looks/works better on the left side, flat against the back of the tank lengthwise.
The light rail is a great idea, the hardest part is lining up the “hooks” that the rail sits on so it can’t fall off. If there was a mark, or groove on each side to help with lining the rail stops up it would help out.
For me the 20l size name is a little deceiving. I filled the tank up, to just under the water outflow on the basking platform with 7 gallons. It has the same footprint as a 20l aquarium though, and I am sure that was the intent, it does not say gallons anywhere on it that I could see. Which is why, for most turtles, I would upgrade to the 40l.
Overall, it took about 40 minutes to unpack, setup, and fill the tank, granted, where I put it I have no water outlet, so I had to fill with a gallon water bottle. The directions were complete, and easy to follow, and you can’t beat the look of this tank completed.
When set up, this is a tank you can be proud of. Easy to setup, beautiful, and practical, if you are looking for a new tank for your aquatic pets, I highly recommend you look into the Zilla premium aquatic turtle kit.
