BEWARE!!!

Use caution when buying this piece. Despite the mix reviews I decided to order this for my 29 gallon freshwater tank I’ve been working on. I really liked how the castle looked with the small cave and the dementions were perfect for what I needed (about the size of a soda can). After reading some of the negetive reviews before ordering I decided when I received the castle I would soak it in water for a few days to see what would happen. Guys it’s been soaking in a clean cup for 4 days and already there is a chemical smell coming from the water. I don’t doubt the resin used to mold this is safe. However, this paint they are using on the castle is definitely dissolving into the water. Not only that I don’t think the paint is eco safe either, it smells....wrong. I think I’m going to continue soaking this for up to a week alternating between sanitizer and clean water. After that I might coat the castle with some acrylic gloss protective spray paint a few times to hopefully seal it off before placing it in my tank. Besides the failure with the paint I love how this thing looks. If you do buy be aware you will have to do something about the paint, you don’t want this junk in your tank with your pets.
