I saw one of these at my local herp shop and decided it was much too big even for my 120 gallon tank. It did look interesting though.

I like my TropicAire because the bulk of it stays outside the tank and doesn't take up valuable decoration room.

I can't remember exactly, but it seemed at the time like it would take up about a third of a ten gallon tank's floor space, maybe a little more. Pretty tall as well.

I got my Volcano yesterday, And it is awesome! Two things that you can't seem to tell from any of the product reviews out there: #1 it's size.. I was really nervous about this, but it was not nearly as big as I thought it would be.. It's footprint is actually a lot smaller than the zoo med waterfall (which I also purchased) It measures 10 inches high, and about 9-10 inches from corner to corner. It is not round like it appears in the pictures, it is actually a very nice sized corner piece. #2 and a big bonus is that it is hollow in the inside, so the two cave opening that you see in the pictures are actually entrances and it forms a nice sized cave for them to hide in.. the waterreservoir is built into the top 3 inches of the mountain, and everythng below that is all open space. I paid $39.99 for mine, which I thought was a great price since I had seen them for as much as $79. But when searching for size info I had run across This site which sells them for $29.99.
I will post some pictures in the picture forum later.

That's great!!!
I would like one, but that's TOO expensive for me, besides, I don't have a lot of room in my tank, it just wouldn't fit. Unless I use my ten gal tank, do ya think it would work ???

I don't think it would fit in a ten gallon.

I assume this plugs in, right? Does it need a separate pump or anything? I am intrigued ...

I does plug in, it came with the little fogger included, the plug for the fogger feeds through a protective grill at the top (so nobody can fall in to the water reservoir)and through a small hole at the top of the mountain. There is even a red glow when the fogger is on, and it shut off automatically when the water gets too low. They really thought of everything with this thing, it was made with the critters in mind.
