Up Aqua UA-D04 2-Inch Ceramic Moss Plate

Up Aqua UA-D04 2-Inch Ceramic Moss PlateI use this plate to hold down some plants and it does its job. I like the ceramic material and black color. But there are four small wires at each corner to hold the grid. These small wires get rusty quite easily. If the manufacturer can solve this problem, it will be an excellent product.

I have a few of these plates in different sizes. They work well with growing moss and guppy grass. I would advise to not over stuff with a large amount of plant as it may kill some of the pieces.

Danner 01717 SP-200 200 GPH Statuary Pond Pump with Barb Fittings

Danner 01717 SP-200 200 GPH Statuary Pond Pump with Barb FittingsI have a 55 Gallon tank set up, and this works great for getting water into my tank instead of treating water and dumping gallon pitcher by gallon pitcher at a time. The only problem was it was missing the barb adapters. The tube shown on the top of the pump is exactly ½ in. I am still not sure how to use the ¼ in. tubing adapter. If you are looking for a cheap pump that works, this is it.

This was the first Danner pump I have purchased. The description here on Amazon was a bit lacking so I went directly to Danner's website. According to Danner's website and the instruction manuals provided on the website, this pump can be used submerged or inline with an included adapter. The pump literally arrived at my door 5 minutes ago and I'm going to have to return it.

The attachment to convert the pump to inline operation was not included. My application requires an inline setup, so I guess I'm out of luck. There are also no barb fittings included. I mean, come on, the title of the product reads "Statuary Pond Pump with Barb Fittings" and there are no barb fittings.

This may actually be a great pump, it may not be. I really have no idea because it didn't include the pieces required for me to use it.

I must say, I'm more than a little disappointed. I don't think I'll be buying another Danner pump.

I was disappointed in this pump because it did not provide the necessary volume for my small pond spitter. I do not recommend it unless you have a very small statuary application that needs a very small volume of water.

Como Fish Tank 6 Layer Sponge Biochemical Water Corner Filter Black

Como Fish Tank 6 Layer Sponge Biochemical Water Corner Filter BlackSponge filters require a air pump and I recommend buying a check valve and air valve. See below for examples:

http://www.amazon.com/Jardin-Plastic-Aquarium-Control-6-Piece/dp/B008FM5QEA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374074173&sr=8-3&keywords=aquarium+air+valve

http://www.amazon.com/Non-return-Check-Valves-Aquarium-Pump/dp/B005HTT1P4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1374074196&sr=8-2&keywords=aquarium+air+check+valves

The check valve will prevent water from siphoning out of the aquarium and on to your floor if your pump fails and the air valve allows you to adjust the air flow to your filter.

I've noticed uneaten food is sticking to the filter so it is adequately pulling debris onto it (doing it's job) it fits well in the tank corner and is safe for my Betta's fins.

I highly recommend this filter. Shipping was prompt and came in good condition.

I love this filter for the 10 gallon aquarium as it fits in the corner nicely and doesn't take up a lot of room. It does a great job in keeping the water cleaner. The sponge can be removed for cleaning as well along with the rest of the filter. It works great for my Axolotl as it is a smooth surface and she can not get hurt if she bumps into it. Great product.

Jardin Aquaculture Air Flow Control 3-Way Lever Valve Pump for Aquarium

Jardin Aquaculture Air Flow Control 3-Way Lever Valve Pump for AquariumWorks perfectly for my needs, strong quality construction, a nice weight to it and precise control levers. Two thumbs up!

No complaints here. I prefer metal valves over plastic just because they're more durable. Now that I think about it, I do have some valves with knurled and threaded adjustment knobs, and the ones like this with the levers can be a little touchy and harder to make fine adjustments with, but good over all, no leaks.

PondCare Barley Clear

PondCare Barley Clear, 16-OunceWe have used this product for several years to control algae in a 2500 gallon pond. The Barley Clear does not harm the fish and ducks that use the pond and it is very easy to apply--we just sprinkle it into the water once a week. It has been very effective.

Not really sure what the cleaner does when it enters your pond exactly....but it does sort of clear up water........Nice buy. Would recommend if you care about eco system.

Coralife SL-38 Super Luft Aquarium Air Pump

Coralife SL-38 Super Luft Aquarium Air PumpI have had this pump for 20 months now, and it has not lost its power to pump a lot of air.. I have a 75 gal tank and use all four outlets and the air output has not dropped. I do have to change out the stones as they will clog and slow the air down, but can't stop it... great product as most pumps will have broken diaphrams or other parts broken by now and have to be replaced or repaired. this pump is as strong as day one and I have done nothing but plug it in and enjoy the bubbles..

only problem is pump will be a little loud but mine is located in a cabinet in the family room so its not a problem for me. But if this is in your bedroom might be a little loud to sleep:)

it does its job, i wish it could work a little better when i spread it out over 8 filters but for the cost im not going to complain. another upside is that unlike other air pumps this doesnt need to have the diaphragm replaced every time it does bad

I bought this to provide oxygen to my wort. The pump hardly pumps ANY air. I placed a 1/4 line in my fermenter and at 6" under the surface the air stopped..

Nature Aquarium Polished Glass Gravel - Turquoise Glass Gravel 8 oz. Small

Nature Aquarium Polished Glass Gravel - Turquoise Glass Gravel 8 oz. SmallThis product was not what I expected. I was disappointed and I didn't like paying $4.00 in shipping for a hand full of tiny little rocks. I will find a use for them rather than send them back and waste more money. I'll probably use them to top off a pot of succulents.

Bought this for my childrens fish tank. It is a very nice look but just seems to be very expensive for what I'm using it for.

I purchased a bag to display a gorgeous large silvery air plant. It does look dramatic alas, the contents of the bag hardly cover the bottom of the glass bowl. Not enough bang for the buck, in my opinion.

Odyssea 48" T5 HO Quad Aquarium Light Fluorescent Hood Fixture w/4 LED - Plant 4x54W

Odyssea 48' T5 HO Quad Aquarium Light Fluorescent Hood Fixture w/4 LED - Plant 4x54WI bought this for my 55 gallon heavily planted tank

before i had dual coralife 48" 2 bulb 24 watt fixtures and plants were MEH

now i have a jungle

ok here we go pros

high output

good build quality

standard size to fit under canopy

4 6700k bulbs included

4 led night lights

seperate dual balasts

cons

this sucker gets HOT HOT HOT

no built in timer c'mon odessy for the price u could've added a cheap digital timer

led NIGHT LIGHTS are junk (didnt care about these as i wanted a plant light )

no fans ( HOT HOT HOT )

flimsy wire hangers

summary

if you want a t5 ho light fixture for a good price and are not expecting all the bells and whistles

this is the bomb

it comes with bulbs and all seperate ballasts and a seperate transformer for the led's (junk,burned out after 1 month )

if you want moon lighting do yourself a favor and buy a dedicated strip but if your expectations are

just for a good quality plant light over your tank you cant go wrong at this price

i have one and im going to order another one but just dont expect a 500.00 fixture at this price

4 stars out of five

I ordered this light on a Thursday, and it was at my door step on Friday when I came home from work. I don't know much about fish tank lights, it was a gift for my boyfriend, it met all his specifications and was a SUPER great deal compared to the other retailers we were looking for. He was completely 100% satisfied! So was I, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great deal and service!!!

API Tap Water Conditioner, 16-Ounce

API Tap Water Conditioner, 16-OunceGreat price for this size compare to Walmart or petsmart! Will definitely buy this stuff again and I highly recommend it every time you do a water change in your tank.

My kids each have betta fish in separate vases. This product is wonderful, and much cheaper than the smaller bottles sold in local aquariums...

Seems to work fine and the price for quantity is a steal. Much cheaper than at the pet store. Gotta love amazon!

Read Best Reviews of API Tap Water Conditioner, 16-Ounce Here

Back in the day they sold this in a small flip-top bottle and it was called Super-Concentrated Tap Water Conditioner. It worked well then and it still works just as well now. I use this confidently in 4 tanks that house adult and baby African Cichlids. I used to use Prime but what for? If you have good husbandry habits, you won't need any chemicals to combat ammonias. I've never seen any foaming of any kind and I use it liberally. Surely more than the minimum amount necessary.

I've never had any problems with leaking in transit as I have with some other brands. (Aqueon comes to mind.)

Have used this product for a while now and it works in three medium to small tanks as advertised. Will buy again.

Como Fish Tank Aquarium 7" Green Air Diffuser Tube Bubble Wall

Como Fish Tank Aquarium 7' Green Air Diffuser Tube Bubble WallI have this hooked up in my 20 gallon aquarium at home.

It's hooked up to the AirPod for 20 gallon tanks.

I love the fact that it has suction cups, that's the best. It creates an impressive amount of bubbles!

It's pretty sturdy for an air stone, didn't break during shipping. Fish seem to like it.

This air diffuser actually works! I had bought a different brand before and bubbles only came out of the first inch. I WANTED A WALL OF BUBBLES! This one really does look like the picture! Bubbles come out of it all the way through. It's great! I wish I would have got a longer one!

One sticks to bottom, the other doesnt. I would NOT reommend this product to any one. Now I am going to have to throw it away or again ask Amazon for a credit as its krap. maybe Amazon should stop people from selling krap!. If it stuck to the bottom (yes it was applied properly), it would of worked great! I dont need to be putting my hands down in my tank daily to reapply

Hagen Aqua Clear Nano Aquarium Preset 6-Inch 25W Heater and Water Change Package for Aquariums Less

Hagen Aqua Clear Nano Aquarium Preset 6-Inch 25W Heater and Water Change Package for Aquariums Less than 10 GallonsI am using these heaters in two 3 gallon tanks. It works great! At first it ran a little high and because it has an adjustable thermostat I was able to set it to heat my fish tanks just where I wanted them to be. It looks nice and the tank inhabitants have become very active. I highly recommend for small tanks. I am ordering two more for my bettas. Current tanks using them are the africian dwarf frog/red cherry shrimp tank and the guppy tank.

The heater works well once you find the right spot with the knob for the desired temperature. The knob is relatively small and takes a bit of an effort to figure out the sensitivity from the turning.

Buy Hagen Aqua Clear Nano Aquarium Preset 6-Inch 25W Heater and Water Change Package for Aquariums Less Now

I bought this heater for my 2.5 gallon red cherry shrimp tank. It keeps my tank at 78 degreea steady. Its a great filter. Its a bit big for a 2.5, but it is easiy hidden with plants.

I would say a 5g tank would be the max i would use it on.

Great heater.

5 star

The heater works good, the included water conditioner and cycle have kept the aquarium in balance. The fish are healthy and thriving

this was important to me as the aquarium is for my grandsons I did not want them disappointed. I recommend this to those who want a small aquarium of 5 gallons or less.

Large Aquarium Betta Keeper

Large Aquarium Betta KeeperA bowl or small aquarium of at least 1 gallon is more appropriate and allows for more activity.

I found this to be a great hospital tank! there will be medication adjustments due to the size and may be a bit of a guessing game at times. but this makes the daily water changes that are required of a medicating bowl easy.

Seriously though, way too small for any fish or living thing (in my opinion)

placing two male betta's in this where they can always see each other in such a confined space will lead to constant flaring and they will always be stressed. they will hit the walls and injure themselves. what a stupid idea.

I wrote a similar review and decided to just copy and paste my original story to save time...

Being the novice I was, when I was about 12 I "rescued" 2 bettas from a Pets Mart and put them both into separate, cheap, tiny little novelty tanks, and that's how they lived for about a year and a half until I bought my third one and put him into a 5 gallon tank. I instantly noticed the difference!

My 3rd Betta was flying all over the place, he was noticeably happier, responded faster (in a non-aggressive way) when I'd come near the tank, and he lived for a little more than 3 and a half years! My other two barely made it to 2 years. They were depressed, uninterested, slow to respond...everything you don't want your Betta to be. And once I moved them into larger 3 gallon tanks each, they perked up like none other!

Betta's need to be in 3-10 gallon tanks by themselves (5 or larger and you might be able to add compatible fish, though I wasn't willing to risk it). In the wild, they live in rice paddies which are thousands of gallons of swimming space and naturally aerated and filtered, and only live in "small puddles" for about 2 or 3 months (at most) out of the year during the dry season.

What's more, while Wild bettas may be able to take smaller conditions longer and survive better, the fancy bettas we see in the stores today are not nearly as durable or hardy and need more stimulation and space.

This "tank" has no filtration, has little space for the Betta, and isn't much better than the initial cup they come in.

Too small for a temporary home. Not bad I guess if you wanted to put one in there while your changing your REAL tank. You can get a 5 gal for cheaper at some places. Please be kind!

I originally bought this tank for my two CT males, Nico and Zazu, but it quickly became a pain. They could both see each other all the time and were always stressing each other out. Before I had funds available for a new tank for them it came down to "modifying" (essentially cutting up) the black plastic from a CD case to insert into one of the partitions to keep them from seeing each other.

After I moved them to a different tank with a solid partition, I purchased a female CT who just loves it. She's small enough that she has plenty of room to swim around. I also have some tall grass in the tank which was made to fit by simply looping it throughout the tank and it's become a great little habitat for her.

The tank is incredibly easy to clean and I don't have to worry about the lid falling off without warning.

Recommended for 1 fish without the partition, but not for two.

ALSO! Make sure to remove the fake plants. They will easily shear any fish' fins.
