I used to own a number of tanks and my dad bred fish when we were growing up, so we had as many as 30 tanks in our house at once. I finally convinced my wife to get a tank for our children, which we wanted to fit on their tall dresser in their bedroom. The regular rectangular shaped 10 gallon was a little too...

The product that I received was not what the picture looked like. It is brown with no other colors or plants. The base of the unit is small. It is made of cheap plastic, and not very stable. I decided just to throw it away, due to the cost of shipping it back. I decided just to purchase real aquarium rocks that...
Como Single Way Aquarium Control Air Water Flow Lever Valve
Posted by
batteries
Purchased this to reduce the air flow from my aquarium air pump to my air stone. This valve is well built and pretty sturdy. It does the job of giving me the control to increase or reduce the amount of bubbles shooting out of my airstone. My tank isn't that big, so I didn't want a crazy amount of bubbles and...

There are plenty of detailed reviews on the original Fluval Edge. This one, with the 21 LED lighting is the newer model, so when I decided to make my purchase I went with this one, even though it's several dollars more. Personally, from all the comments regarding the lighting issues on the previous model I...

We love it. My son is thrilled. It looks really nice in his tank and bubbles well. I don't know why it is Finding Nemo. There is nothing on the chest itself to indicate that.The 1st one = after 2 years was too covered in black algae = tossed (this is my fault not a reflection on the product). Now that I'm...

I have a 400 gallon tank. I replaced 4x400 HQI halides.Originaly I went with 4 of these lights, I now have five and may go to six. You have to place them within 4" of the waters surface and this limits thier spread. I have acros and they are doing well. As the other reviewer said they are not as intense as halides...

It worked perfectly and the pH level was right on. The Cichlids love it and it looks great in the aquarium. Two bags were about the right size for a 75G but it wouldn't hurt to have a total of 3-4 ba...

The built quality is nice and it's ergonomic, but if it doesn't do what it's designed to do well all of that is for not. That's the case with this magnet cleaner. Let me count the ways it doesn't work for me:Weak magnet, if the magnet is not strong it will constantly fall off and not be effective in cleaning...

This looks very good in the picture but I have found that it does not stand up in the tank, kinda curls over and the edges have started to fray after only a month. After a couple of months the plecos in the tank have shredded it. I am going to have to remove and replace. Do not buy if you have large plec...

This is exactly what I wanted. Was easy to find and was shipped fast! The description and picture were great! I bought this for a tank that I bought as a stand alone tank, not a kit. The hood seems to let very little water evaporate. At least the water level does not drop as much as my rectangle tank. The...

I bought a 5 gallon air pump for more than this, and that air pump failed to pump air through 2 2.5gal tanks. So, I went to the overkill side and purchased this. First, though, I want to address some of the other reviews.NO air pump, I repeat, NO AIR PUMP IS SILENT. If a manufacturer tries to sell you a silent...

I've found the white polishing pad to be more commonly available locally, but have read various reports of those clogging up very quickly, a few days.I have my FX5 in a 120G tank w/ 2 RES turtles, and about 30 small fish. It's doing the job VERY well, and I find that one of these blue pads above the BioMax is...

I installed this filter in my 800 gallon pond and my water literally went from pea soup to crystal clear in 7 days! I was amazed at how clear it got the water. Super easy to install and hide so its not visible when looking at the pond. I would definitely recommend this for an inexpensive way to keep clear...

My aquarium eats one of these about every ten days. You can rinse/shake it out in a sink or bowl full of water drained from the aquarium but the cleaned filter will only last 3-4 days before clogging again. Couple of things to be aware of...a large part of your aquariums ability to remove waste revolves around...

The only thing missing from these lights is being able to set the lights to change a certain times of the day. For example if you could set them to sunrise in the morning and dawn, and changing to night time with as night falls in my time zone. Other than that my fish seem to love the lighting effects.I just...

Save yourself some annoyance...what they need to say is that you will constantly have water dripping down the sides of your tank due to condensation build up under the Eclipse Hood. Normally that is not a big deal, but since the Eclipse does not seat very well on top it allows for constant dripping.Marineland...
