Como Fish Tank Aquarium Oxygen Releases Square Sponge Stone Filter

Como Fish Tank Aquarium Oxygen Releases Square Sponge Stone FilterI was so happy to find this filter for my Red Claw Crabs. When I read about the biological and chemical filtration plus the oxygen solubility in aquarium, it was just what I need for the small tank they are kept in. They are in a five gallon glass tank, volcanic rocks, Mopani Driftwood and the Como Filter. They are happy and I am happy with this filter for them.

Carib Sea ACS00223 African Ivory Coast Sand for Aquarium, 20-Pound

Carib Sea ACS00223 African Ivory Coast Sand for Aquarium, 20-PoundI bought this for my new cichlid aquarium and I feel I made a great choice. It looks awesome but it came loaded with silt that took forever to flush out. It's a large grained sand that will not stir up when the fish get rowdy, and it actually has more of the lighter particles than in the picture. Two bags was just right for a 55 gallon aquarium (48" x 12").

great natural look in my 47 gal tank.Cichlids seem to love the gravel as they spend a lot of time moving it arround

Tetra Pond Variety Blend

TetraPond 16456 Pond Variety Fish Food Sticks, 1.32-PoundAlways pleased with the quality of Tetra brand. Glad you had this in the 2.25 pound bag for the same price the discount pet store charges for 1.38 pound bag! My fish just love this and the Koi sticks. I've been giving it to them for over 5 years!

Tetra Pond's products have never failed us. This is the first time I've used this particular variety of koi food. The fish love it! I'm sold. As a note, I'm in S. Florida so it rarely gets cold enough to not feed the gang. Last winter was the first time I've had to withhold food, but this winter has been mild. I decided to try the Variety Blend and it's been a huge hit.

I've been using these sticks for a while and boy do my fish love them. The Variety Blend is my preferred one because of the mix it offers Pond Sticks, Koi Vibrance, and Wheat Germ Sticks. My fish are all healthy and go nuts when its feeding time. I'll admit I used to purchase this same bag at certain brick and mortar pet stores but once I saw the difference in price on Amazon, it was a no-brainer.

I have used this product for several years now, the fish in my pond just love it. It softens quickly but stays afloat. The smaller fish also nibble on it. It does not cloud the water at all. I recommend this product enthusiastically.

Our koi and our goldfish really jump up for this food.

They have all been really healthy this year.

Lee's Betta Keeper Large w/Lid, Gravel and Plant

Lee's Betta Keeper Large w/Lid, Gravel and PlantI bought this as a temp home for a betta until I got her a larger living space. it's great for that. I now use it as a hospital tank for my bettas to recover in, w/o gravel it makes medicating easy and travel time to the surface is shorter for the sick fish wich is a plus.

I would never recomend this as a permanent home for a betta. the general rule is 1 gallon for every inch of fish.

My son received a beta as a gift, and when we went to the store to buy an aquarium, the clerk recommended this tank, and also recommended getting a second beta to add. In hindsight, he wasn't looking out for our fish, but for his profit.

Even though betas CAN live in small spaces, I would not recommend it. Even for one beta, this tank is too small. It gets dirty easily and needs to be cleaned once a week, which is an immense stress on the fish. The fake plants provided with the tank don't help with the water quality either.

For now, we moved our beta to a large glass baking bowl, and we are in the process of shopping for a larger tank with an undergravel filter and live plants, plus a heater. I absolutely agree with the other review: If you can't afford a good tank for your fish, don't get one. Betas like space, too.

I don't house my bettas permanently in this, but for water changes and as an isolation tank for any sick bettas, this works wonderfully! If you look at the better breeder websites, (and their barracks photos), no one is housing their bettas in 1 gallon tanks for each inch of betta. That would be a phenomenal waste of their space.

While most 'pet' betta owners have more money, time, and room for better...this product isn't as bad as some people are making it out to be. Has...dunno....maybe about a half gallon of water space? Better than some prettier betta vases I've seen. If this is all you can afford, it is still better than leaving your betta in the pet store container, and your fish will survive just fine as long as you do frequent water changes. Housing two bettas in this is about the same as leaving them in those store containers though. If you're looking for short term temporary housing for multiple bettas, this is fine..if you take into consideration quarantine concerns...as the water is shared.

But, I use mine only for water changes and if one of my 6 bettas gets sick. Easier (and cheaper) to medicate a small bowl versus a larger tank...and works perfectly for what it was purchased for. Just keep the gravel and fake plant out if you have a sick one. Less to sterilize afterwards, and they really don't need those while they're recovering.

This container is way too small to keep any fish in, let alone two. In such a small container, the fishes' wastes will build up quickly, causing eye and skin irritation, sickness, even death. You can try to reduce the waste build up changing the water frequently, but not only is this a lot of work for you, it is stressful for the fish.

In addition, if you want to keep bettas in a divided tank, there should be decorations for the fish to hide behind when they need a break from flaring at each other. This tank is too small to allow that, another source of stress.

Thirdly, bettas are tropical fish. They need a tank heated to a constant 80F. It is not possible to safely heat a tank that is smaller than 5 gallons.

If you want to get bettas, please read some of the excellent websites available and learn all you can about their care. If you cannot afford a proper tank, please don't get a fish.

This tank is only suitable for a hospital tank or when doing water changes. It is too small for one Betta, much less two. I used to have a betta in one of these tanks, and then I moved him to a ten gallon tank. He looked so much happier. He flared his fins more and he swam around the whole tank. If you really want to enjoy watching your betta, do not get this tank.

HMO 100: Finnex 100 Watt w/ Memorized Digital Controller Aquarium Titanium Heater (20 - 30 Gallons)

HMO 100: Finnex 100 Watt w/ Memorized Digital Controller Aquarium Titanium HeaterI have gone through a few name brand heaters and have always had problems with the temperature one time the temp went up to 90 degrees and another time it just quit working! This one displays the temperature digitally, and the actual water temperature is very consistent. I've used it for several months now and waited to write a review to be sure I would be happy over the long haul. It does have a separate wire for the temperature which is separate from the heating unit, so you will have an extra wire to hide in the tank. The clip that holds the digital display could be a bit thicker, but holds it OK. It does just what it says it will do and I am satisfied with my purchase.

UPDATE (7/10/11): After about only 4 months of use, this morning the heater starts making a high pitched tone. No matter what I did the unit would not stop making this tone or let me set the temperature. I give it two stars (down from 3) instead of one because at least the unit told me when it broke so I was able to get a new heater from the pet store without affecting the tank much. I think I will stay away from this brand from now on.

------------------------------------------

I bought this unit with the hopes of never having to fuss with the temperature again and it has succeeded at doing this.

I'll start with the good:

It's an attractive heater. I like the steel look.

It keeps a constant temperature.

The unit remembers my settings after power outages.

Suction cup on device is strong.

Now the bad:

The unit to control the temperature is hideous. Functional, but it takes away from the beauty of your tank if not well hidden. I also wish the cord attached to it was longer to make it easier to hide and easier to access later.

I have another thermometer in the tank. That thermometer claims the temperature is 3 degrees less than what this unit thinks it is. So now I have to go and get a third thermometer to figure out which of the two is off.

So does it keep a constant temperature? Yes. But is it reading the temperature of the water? Not sure. Fish seem to not mind either way.

All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch

All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-InchI brought this hood from petco and it does fit my 10 gallon aquarium very will because my aquarium is also from aqueon so anyone out there if you want a cheap and great looking hood this is the one for you but remember it onloy fit 10 gallon aquarium

I did a lot of research on this it does fit a standard all-glass aquarium. You will need a set of clippers or a dremel to take off the excess "flashing" to make it fit, but with a little buzz, its no problem!

Buy All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch Now

I've owned nothing but All-Glass aquariums for almost 10 years, and in my experience, the plastic hoods are a waste of money. I've owned many, and have been impressed by none. The All-Glass VersaTops are far superior in my opinion.

1.) The deluxe hoods generally come with a single-tube strip light with no reflector, only cheap plastic above the bulb. The twin-tube strips will have a reflector to increase the efficiency of the bulb. Invest in at least a twin tube right away (make sure to get the twin-tube glass tops as well), especially with the deeper tanks. Quality of lighting is much better without having to break the bank with specialized lighting.

2.) The access panel is clumsy and the plastic hinged joints break or crack easily. Every one I've owned has been very noisy when opening/closing. Glass tops offer more visibility and a smoother range of motion (they're quiet and will last longer).

3.) More inconvenient to clean than a glass top. Visibility of water spots/mineral buildup very obvious if you don't maintain them properly. Usually takes a lot of scrubbing to remove the deposits completely.

4.) Oak accent coating on light strip tends to wear off easily.

5.) Hood allows for a greater rate of evaporation. Glass fits snugly into the lip of the aquarium and greatly reduces evaporation; i.e., you don't have to top-off the water frequently.

6.) Cutouts on the rear of the hood are inconvenient and if the outlined pattern is followed, leaves too much room for that occasional fish to escape (nobody wants carpet-critters) and restricts customization for placing equipment. Glass VersaTop has a clear plastic strip for the rear panel which is easy to cut (to your specifications, also helps with evaporation, leaves less room for jumping fish to escape) and is very easily replaced.

In my experience, the hoods are functional, but I've found glass to be far superior in performance, reliability, quality, appearance and maintenance (and I haven't broken one yet).

I had one with led lights before. I love this one because it protects the light from water or mist. It is bright and shows the fish very well.

Want All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch Discount?

It fits perfectly, a very well made hood. The only problem is the light. I only wish they had put in a fluorescent light in instead of the sun replicating light. It turns the color tone of the tank green. It may not be a bad thing for some aquarists but, I have a few decorations in the tank that look better with a fluorescent glow light as opposed to a sun replicating light.

Aqua Tech Fish Aquarium Magnetic Algae Remover

Aqua Tech Fish Aquarium Magnetic Algae RemoverI bought this magnet at a big box store for about half the price Amazon sells it for. I figured if it didn't work, I wouldn't be out much money. I use it on the little patches of algae that show up in between major monthly cleanings and the more minor water changes I make. I have three fantail goldfish in a 20 gallon glass tank and algae can build up fast. This magnet works better than I expected. It wipes these spots away instantly and keeps the tank looking great! The other review noted it didn't work on acrylic but I can attest to it's effectiveness on glass. This would not be the appropriate method to clean a lot of algae or thicker algae, as that speaks to a different issue that likely is due simply to poor maintenance or even an ill fish. But for "spot cleaning" I would definitely recommend this. Plus it is intriguing enough and simple enough for my young children to want to take part. I just set up the inner magnet and they drag it around with the outer and their hands get nowhere near the water. Definitely has my positive recommendation!

I bought this from a local store at a very cheap price thinking it could be a quick fix to scrubbing off some tough algae spots in my acrylic, hexagon aquarium that I cannot reach with my plastic-handle acrylic scraper. The Aquatech scraper's pads are like a soft felt pad and was only able to remove some soft algae, but not the more coarse algae that is more prevalent in my reef tank. I'm going to spend a little more next time & get the Mag-Float cleaner instead.

Nutrafin Betta Bowl Conditioner, 2 Ounces

Nutrafin Betta Bowl Conditioner, 2 OuncesDespite the tannins in its almond leaf extract, this product is alkaline. Bettas prefer their water slightly acid. I'm having a hard time getting my tank back to the proper pH with Betta Plus in the water.

Chlorine dissipates from tap water if it sits uncovered for a day. Nitrates, nitrites and ammonia are needed by plants. You keep them from reaching toxic levels by doing regular partial water changes. If Betta Plus does anything more to condition the water, I would like to know what it is.

I Googled Nutrafin's #5942232 "Stress Reducing" formula. It appears to be for a concoction of chemical and herbal remedies that have not been proven to be beneficial to fish. If your Betta's water is properly maintained, and he is still stressed, therapy should bring better results.

Betta Plus neutralizes any active chlorine in the water; that is the only reason I gave this product one star.

I must agree with the previous comment about this product being too alkaline. I bought this product due to the Indian Almond leaf extract which I know is beneficial to bettas being a part of their natural habitat. But my pH rose too much while using this. Bettas do prefer their water slightly on the acid side & this product raised my pH up to 7.6 which is too alkaline.

I stopped using this & now do my water changes with another water conditioner. I also bought some Indian Almond leaves & have added them to his tank.

I rarely write reviews and I really don't know all that much about fish, but my son wanted a pet fish and we went through two poor fish until I discovered this stuff. I attribute our current bettas long life span (we have had him for almost six months now) to this water conditioner. He is a happy fish, blows lots of cool bubble nests and looks beautiful. Thanks Nutrafin!

Years ago I had a Betta fish and it didn't live long at all. Then my mother-in-law got two different Betta fish that died over night. I thought I would never get another Betta again.

My 5 year old son wanted his own fish so we went to our local pet store and talked to the man in charge of the fish and he helped us find the perfect Betta fish and find the perfect tank for him. The tank came with Nutrafin Betta plus. I went back to buy more Nutrafin Betta plus but the store didn't carry this product and suggested I try something else. I decided to look on line and find what I know works well with our fish. I am very happy to be able to find it here. Our fish is very happy and beautiful. We have had him almost six months now and look forward to having him for many years.
