TOM Aquarium Perch-Light Fixture 7W w/Compact Flo Lamp, 6400K D

TOM Aquarium Perch-Light Fixture 7W w/Compact Flo Lamp, 6400K DThis light is perfect for my small 3 gallon aquarium. It works perfectly with a light timer. The only complaint is that the bulb only lasted for about 1 month before blowing out. However, the bulb can be replaced unlike some of the LED lights available for small aquariums.

These are very nice lights. They fit on the tanks perfectly and after a month of use they are still in great shape. No burned out bulbs. I like how I can adjust them easily.

Marineland Black Diamond Activated Carbon

Marineland PA0373 Black Diamond Activated Carbon, 40-Ounce, 1134-Gram[[ASIN:B0002566WY Marineland PA0373 Black Diamond Activated Carbon, 40-Ounce, 1134-Gram] My wife has been noticing that our cat litter box was rather odorous at times so I bought this activated carbon and mixed it in with the litter. The results have been outstanding, the bad odors have ceased and the room air is fresh. Now if I could only put a pouch of this on the back end of our dogs it would be perfect.

Bought this for a carbon filter on my tobacco bong. Works well and looks like I'll have enough activated carbon for years. awesome product

I use this for odor control in a home of smokers. I put this in the ashtrays and will use this to make satchels and vent filters. Its really good at masking the smell from smoke no matter what kind of smoke it is. Its the same thing they use in air filters. Also you can crush the little rocks to create more surface area which will help lengthen how long you can use it.

I use some to help on oders in the fridg after cleaning and it is keeping the smell pleasent. I am still researching the possible uses for this product along with reading it is helpful for brown recluse spider bite.

The pieces are really small, compared to other i have purchased, and fell through a little bit in the carbon holder cartridge in my 2 Emporer 400's, and it was fine for the canister filter i had. Seems like it will last me about 9-12 months.

Shipping was fast, and came exactly as described.

Hydor 15w Slim Heater for Aquariums up to 10 gal

Hydor 15w Slim Heater for Aquariums up to 10 galEasy to hide heater element for 10 gallon tanks. It will work in a 20 gallon tank as long as the air temp doesn't drop below 66 68F around the tank at night. The flat plastic radiator can be buried under gravel or sculpture in the tank. It could possibly be used in a five gallon tank located in a cool room but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on water temperature for awhile after installing any new heater element.

it works , its not great , its not bad. im using it to keep a cooling res. from freezing over in a shop, i would say you might want to get a thermistatic control so when the outside temp is warm enough this doesnt have to run. so far so good.

Keeps my 3-1/2 gallon Betta tank at 80 degrees. Use the 7 watt version for smaller tanks. Place it under the gravel and the cord is unobtrusive against a black background.

I didn't need a very powerful heater for my 6.5 gal aquarium, and I didn't want to have a large, hanging heater on the back of such a small tank. This aquarium heater can go under the gravel and still heat up the whole tank.

This heater is better than the 3 that I have purchased from the local pet store. They all failed in the first 2 months.

Eshopps WD-75CS Wet Dry Filter - 10 to 75 gallons - 18 in. x 10 in. x 16 in.

Eshopps WD-75CS Wet Dry Filter - 10 to 75 gallons - 18 in. x 10 in. x 16 in.So I bought this filter a few days ago. This is the first wet dry filter I've bought, though many of my friends have or have had wet drys in the past. I finally had time to install it today. The instructions that come with the filter are pretty horrible; it looks like a 5 year old drew a picture of a wet dry filter and added captions. Luckily I've seen enough wet/drys in my life to know how it works and how it should be put together. I paired it with a marineland NJ1800 pump with variable flow and with a max flow rate of 474 gph. I figure since I have to lift the water up a few feet from the sump that would be close to the 300 gph of the overflow box.

The filter went in without much issue. I had a clearance issue but thats not an issue with the filter so i had to trim the pvc inserts they give you for the overflow line. Also perhaps my pump is too powerful but the output nozzle from the filter needed a clamp as it would constantly leak. I trimmed my lines to size and so far no problems. The pump is running full open and the overflow box seems to keep up without much issue. I had a issue with the u-tube having an air bubble in it and for the life of me I was unable to get it out but I poured a lot of water in the overflow box and it pushed the bubble out. The reason I give this 4 stars was because of the leaking of the nozzle and the poor instructions.

The pre-marked waterline is deffinetly a plus as I don't want to spend all day trying to figure out the best water level. So far I like the filter and will write another review after a few weeks. That review will be mainly about performance of the filter once its been run for longer than a few hours.

I love this system I had to do a lil modification to fit my needs but it works great I bought a longer return tubing put in on a ball valve to control the water because my pump was pumping water quicker than it was filling in the w/d all in all recommend it

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Gravel

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon GravelThis is by far one of my favorite substrates. I have used CaribSea Cichlid substrate in the past for my African cichlid aquarium but, before it settles completely, it often gets in the filter motor causing it to get extremely hot. The air stones/line in the tank also disturb this substrate giving the water a slightly cloudy appearance. The Instant Aquarium has a perfect granular size and I have had no fish loss in previous uses leading me to believe it works as well as it claims. I do have to increase the pH levels using other materials but it definitely beats replacing my filter unit. It's easy to clean and once settled, it remains settled. The water is always crystal clear. Definitely recommend this product!

One bag works for my 55g just fine. Decided it was enough after watching a video of someone using one bag in a 75g. Here's the video showing how its put in, was helpful for me :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2HR5WS_mM0 start at 3 minutes and 12 seconds into the video

No washing or cloudiness (cloudy for a few minutes). Goldfish love it.

This gravel is great. It is coarser than sand which is what we wanted. Also, it is a gorgeous shimmery black which makes our fishes colors look beautiful! It was enough for our smaller 5 gallon tank, plus we had some left over.

This sand is so good i filled my 55 galon with 25 pounds of it. African cichlids love it it helps them eat out of the sand. Keeps water clean

Chemi-Clean - 2 g

Chemi-Clean - 2 gI was skeptical about using a product like Chemiclean in my saltwater aquarium to deal with a red slime problem, but all other solutions including reduced lighting, increased flow and massive water changes had failed. It's performance was astounding, to say the least.

I followed the instructions precisely and underdosed the tank to be safe. I first siphoned as much of the red slime out as possible, increased water flow and aeration as directed, and removed carbon from my filter.

Within 48 hours, 80% of the red slime algae/cyanobacteria was gone, and the remainder cleared within another two days. My fish and inverts actually became more active and appeared healthier. As an added bonus, the oxidizing action of the Chemiclean cleaned up a good deal of organic solids, reduced regular green algae and made the water the clearest I have ever seen in any of my aquariums.

I am duly impressed and would recommend this product with careful usage.

Work's as advertised gone in 3 days! No problem with tank life, if you have a skimmer you will need to run activated carbon and turn the skimmer down for a day or two.

I was very skeptical, but this stuff worked. It took a little longer than I think it is advertised, but the cyno is gone, so I don't care. No corals in my tank, but it didn't harm the fish or inverts.

Coralife 05692 Pure-Flo II 50-Gallon Per Day 4 Stage RO/DI System

Coralife 05692 Pure-Flo II 50-Gallon Per Day 4 Stage RO/DI SystemI have been using this product for 3 weeks. So far, I've made about 100 gallons of RO/DI water for my marine aquarium, and my only regret is not purchasing an DR/DI filter years ago. I just hook it up to my kitchen sink faucet. There was no need for crazy plumbing projects. I am a little bit concerned about the longevity of the filtering system. The initial batch came out at about 8 parts-per-million total-dissolved solids (ppm TDS), but I'm already up to 15 ppm. However, this is still a pretty low TDS, and I might even be contaminating it just by measuring or something, so I'm not too concerned yet. I do have a couple tips that might make your choice-of-purchase or set-up easier.

1) Unless you plan on installing some kind holding tank and auto-shut off, this filter takes time. Remember, 50 gallons per day is only about 2 gallons per hour. If you don't think you have the patience for that, consider upgrading to a higher GPD.

2) I read some reviews of RO filters that costumers were unhappy because the filtered water was acidic and/or made metal parts rust very quickly. This is not a flaw in the filter this means it's working. RO/DI water has much less dissolved materials than most tap water. Without getting into the chemistry, this means that (1) when the water come to equilibration with the carbon dioxide in the air, it will be acidic, and (2) it will tend to oxidize (rust) metals that it comes in contact with.I use my filtered water to make home-made soda and ice cubes, but I think drinking the RO water straight is pretty gross it just tastes awful to me. I've also heard it can be unhealthy, but I don't have much info on that.

3) This filter works under rather high pressure, so there is a good chance that connections will leak. When you are assembling it, I recommend getting some teflon thread tape from the plumbing section of your hardware store. Wrap the tape tightly 2-3 times around the threads before fitting the connections to tighten everything up an prevent leaks.

4) I had trouble installing the RO cartridge. The cartridge housing is not see-through, so I couldn't tell if I was installing it correctly or not. I could not tell if it was assembled correctly until I had it completely assembled to test it. But you should be able to tell if it is working by the amount of water it is producing; when working correctly, you should be producing clean water at only a trickle (~50 GPD). If you set up the filter and are getting a high flow from the product [blue] tube, you can probably assume the RO cartridge is not installed correctly. (Also, you can check the TDS if you have a meter.) It took me about four tries to get the RO cartridge installed correctly. The thing was, it needed to be pushed very hard into the fitting. The resistance was so high that I was afraid to break it.

5) Many of the fitting on the unit come pre-assembled. A couple of connections on my unit initially leaked just a bit. You may need to unscrew them, wrap some teflon tape around the threads and reinstall. After I took the time to do that, my unit was 100% leak-free.

6) The unit comes with an adapter that should allow you to use it with a standard sink, but installing the adapter takes a few minutes or more, and is kind of a hassle. Also, the adapter is a pretty cheap plastic, so it's prone to leaking and liable to get chewed up if you're not careful installing it every time. I alleviated this issue my permanently replacing the head of my sink faucet with one that I can directly screw the filter on to; this only cost about $3. I did not have to replace the whole faucet, but the very end has outside threads like a garden-hose connection. This has made connecting and disconnecting the filter much more convenient.

Also, be aware that if you have a decorative sink faucet, the adapter might not work. You might have to be creative in installation. I live in an apartment, so I can't do any really involved plumbing projects; however, if I were in a house, I think it would be worth the effort to set the filter up with a holding tank and float valve, so that I there is always an available supply of filtered water.

7) I also purchased TDS meter (HM Digital TDS-EZ Water Quality TDS Tester), and was glad that I did. It is very convenient to be able to test and see how your unit is working. My tap water comes out around 500 ppm. My filtered water has been coming out between 5 and 15 ppm. Since I can check the TDS any time I want, it will be much easier to figure out when my filter needs to be back-washed or replaced.

I have this RO filter and it works great. It should be noted that the picture (which has actually since been updated) showed, and the description mentions (still does), a pump which this unit DOES NOT have. Amazon, as always, was outstanding in their customer service when I called to advise of the lack of pump as described/pictured. They actually sent me a new one (actually OVERNIGHTED it to me!) and said "if new one still doesn't meet your expectations, we'll issue a refund". I LOVE Amazon!!! The new one arrived (which I promptly returned unopened) also with no pump. Further investigation revealed that Aqueon does make a model with a pump but the one for sale on Amazon is NOT that model. The one with the pump regularly sells at various web sites for $250 and up while this model (76002 I believe?) also regularly sells at various web sites for anywhere from $10-$80 more than what Amazon sells it for. Since the pump-less model is working fine for my needs and due to the fact that the $135 price at Amazon was still way better than I was going to get it for anywhere else, I opted to keep the original. So in summary:

RO filter is awesome.

Amazon is awesome.

This unit does not have a pump but works as advertised (get a gallon of 100% pure as in measured TDS of 0 water in about 30 minutes).

Purchased this item a few months after I had gotten my tank. In just the month since I purchased this machine the fish, corals and invertebrates in my tank seem healthier and happier. The unit itself puts out ample clean water and in around an hour I have the 5-7 gallons I need to do my weekly water change for my 60 gallon tank.

Setup was a breeze and the unit is small enough to allow me to store it under my stationary tub when it's not in use.

I received my RO/RI system yesterday. In assembling it for use, I noticed the DI cartridge was broken into pieces probably from shipping. I called the numbers on the "Imporant Please do not return this product to place of purchase". The 800 number is a scam number trying to sell a $100 rebate for $1.99. The other is disconnected.

This is very disappointing. I guess I will be sending this back to Amazon and looking for another manufacturer for an RO system.

Well I've been running this unit for about 6 months now. I've probably made about 700 gallons of water. I have to say, it's a bit concerning of how long it takes to reach sub 10ppm now. I would love to have 0ppm but this unit hasn't done that since the first week of operation. I'm doing good if I can get it down to 6 after about an hour of operation.

This unit is okay for the cost, just don't expect it to be awesome.
