Perfecto Black Fluorescent Light Strip

bought it to replace a light strip on my 55 gal. I had a glass top to begin with so it's size isn't really a big deal but next time I know I need something a bit bigger.

I already have a similiar black fish tank top, but the light strip no longer works. I wanted to get the entire top, but ThatFishPlace was out;I purchased this instead and wasn't disappointed. In fact, it is just a bit smaller than the no name light strip it replaced, so it almost matches perfectly to the tank lid. It used a 18" bulb. A great purchase for me and I also got it when it was on sale-even better.

Very good light fixture, it is hard to find them this length in stores. It isnt exactly 16 inches though, more like 15.3 inches.

Exotic Environments Lighthouse Ruin Aquarium Ornament, 6-1/2-Inch by 6-Inch by 9-Inch

This looks great inside my tank. The fish love swimming inside and all around the lighthouse. I am very pleased with the way it looks inside the tank.

I was extremely pleased with this product. It provides a lot of different sized openings for fish of any size to enter and hide. I have a 46 gallon bow front tank, and the size fits perfectly, allowing for room to put plants and other decorations. If you've got a smaller tank, obviously you'd be limited with how many decorations you'd be able to use in conjunction with this item.

Overall, a good purchase for the cost.

Marina Betta Kit Plastic Plant, Corkscrew Vallisneria

looks really cool in my setup white is definitely a nice color to add (black sand and blue background)

better than the variety at my local pet store

my current is kinda strong so it doesn't really stay either enough sand or in between something and the tank

Great product. It has a tight spiral which I personally like the tighter look especially on smaller plant. Would work in smaller tanks, I used in a taller tank to vary height.

Sorry but as soon as put these plants in my fish tank it fell apart so I took them out and tossed it.

Aquatic Life Light T5 HO 2-Lamp Link Marine Aquarium Light, 30-Inch

I have been very pleased with this light. I bought it for my 29 gallon tall saltwater reef tank. I have had it a few months and everything is thriving. I was concerned that I may need 4 bulbs to grow corals but due to the individual reflectors on this light 2 bulbs has been adequate so far. I asked the local fish store about this light and it is the same one that they use in their frag tanks. 2 bulbs is probably good enough to grow 75% or more of corals. I have green star polyps, candy cane corals and devil's leather that are all doing well. It also looks sleek, doesn't get hot and is easy to move around to clean the tank. I initially purchased a coral life fixture and immediately returned it. It couldn't even compare to the amount of light put out by the individual reflectors. The aquatic life fixture also seems to be made of higher quality materials (metal housing, less plastic.)

I bought this light fixture as a starter light for my 29 gallon saltwater reef tank. I liked that it has the option to expand up to 6 bulbs by connecting the lights and that each bulb bas its own reflector. So far the light has been working well, but I only have a couple of fish in there at the moment, no corals. I planned to expand the light if I move to a coral tank.

The light and bulbs arrived intact; no shipping problems for me, but I have heard that this has been an issue for others.

The reason that I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that there were no assembly instructions included in the box. The box said that there was a CD enclosed that had assembly and maintenance instructions, but I did not have this. I had to figure out how to put everything together by looking at the picture and doing some trial and error. You will need a screwdriver to assemble this light and change the blubs. You have to unscrew the panel at the opposite end of the switch to access the blubs and to slide the acrylic splash guard in place, and you have to further unscrew an additional metal piece under that panel in order to slide the connectors for the stand legs. I did not realize this until I had screwed everything back in place after assembling the bulbs and was pretty frustrated. There may be directions online, but I did not have internet access at the time and was too impatient to wait.

PRO'S: Expandable, cost effective, adjustable leg span, individual reflectors, sturdy.

CON'S: initial set up is not user friendly, nor is it simple to change bulbs or add another fixture. The bulbs that are included with the fixture are also not very high quality and should be switched out for better ones if you are trying to grow corals.

I have this over my 56 gal column...about 23" to the substrate. My plants are flourishing (I do use a fert every other day or so). I am considering another just to have better coverage of the front and back of tank, but I don't think this is necessary...just me being picky. Note that it doesn't take 30" bulbs as it is not a common size...although available.

Zilla 09669 Malaysian Driftwood, Medium

very fast shipping,product looks great in tank. make sure you cure this before you put in tank try boiling it first tag says just rinse off well but water turned orangey but wont hurt fish and it cleared up after a couple of small water changes if looking for a specific shape ask for pics of wood to be shipped

The product arrived in a rather large box that was STUFFED to the brim with packaging material (all inflatable bag packaging). That to me is a huge plus, esp. when shipping something delicate like this. The wood itself, after I uncovered it, was a little smaller than what I wasa expected, BUT only by a few inches.

The piece of wood is perfect by every means! The piece was very much an individual with its own look. It was layered with all sorts of small holes, nooks and crannies, indentions (yet no cracks! Very Solid Piece of Wood!!!!). This will look stunning in my Aquarium (that is, as soon as I'm done leeching it!) I will definatly be ordering Malaysian Driftwood from them again and I would highly recommened anyone to them.

This product shipped very quickly, within three days. Arrived in quite a large box stuffed with air packing bags. The piece was actually larger than i was expecting, for only 9 bucks. I didn't cure it just rinsed it off and it sank to the bottom immediately. It looks great and i love the dark wood it turns into when wet. I have a 65 gallon tank, and with the other two pieces i'm recieving i think it will turn out very nice!

I'll also upload a couple pictures.

Five stars so far.

Amazing piece of wood; the one I received was at least 18 inches long; and beautiful! Slight arch so it looks amazing in the tank plus there was a hole in the middle so there is a 3 inch tunnel for my pleco to enjoy. Amazing piece at a great price!

Lee's 10 Economy Undergravel Filer, 1 Plate - 10 x 20-Inches

Bought this filter for my 10gal aquarium. Fits nicely.

You need an air pump for this so don't get one if you don't have it.

The filter works. Keeps all the heavy stuff underneath the gravel.

You cant see it working, but when you clean you aquarium and look you will be surprised how effective it works.

Also the clear tube in which the bubbles flow through make my aquarium seem futuristic, by that i mean it looks nice.

It comes with a "filter" that has some carbon pellets or something, after a while mine got filthy so i tossed it.

This filter system doesn't need that filter at all. It's all about the bubbles making a soft undertow to pull the trash under the gravel. I think it's good and worth the price.

Works great, sturdy, and can be added onto for a larger tank. Anyone that has something bad to say about this, is not using it right. Works great for me, no problems at all!

This is actually not quite an accurate description. This undergravel filter comes in two separate plates that you then have to cut the bottom edges to allow the water to flow from one to the other. I do like that it came with activated charcoal cartridges if you are using bubblers instead of power pumps.

We were complaining about how cloudy the tank was getting. Replacing water at least once a week. The undergravel from Lee was easy to install and is working Great!

I'd buy it again if I had to. Built well and good price. I actually use it upside down to hold marbles instead of gravel so I can just pick this up by the sides and lift my entire bottom out at once.

TOM TM1290 Aquarium Maintenance Easy Scrape-hand held algae scraper

I purchased this to use on my daughter's 5-gallon acrylic Marineland Hex Betta tank. Due to the tank's design, I expected the cleaning process to be more difficult than your average rectangular tank, but this scraper was pretty much useless. Only the extreme edges of this tool scraped any algae at all, and then in only microscopic quantities. A sheet of Bounty and some good old fashioned elbow grease, followed by five drops of algaecide, were much more effective. I plan sending this back. I think this tool is best used on glass tanks where it appears it works quite well.

I have never used a scraper to remove algae before; I've always relied on those magnetic scrubbers. Well I am sorry I didn't try this sooner. Really easy to use and most importantlyEFFECTIVE.

My only complaint is that I don't think the blade is perfectly straight, so I have to go over areas more than once. It's a minor flaw though.

I have a glass tank so I can't speak for the effectiveness of the acrylic scraper attachment.

Bought this to use on glass aquariums. Does not remove algae cleanly. Leaves streaks as though the blade (metal) is not completely flat. Better and faster to use a single edged razor blade and get my arm wet than to use this scraper. Would not buy again!

The blade is not sharp enough to remove much algae. Don't waste your money. I used to have a thin, long handled scraper with a single edge razor blade attached. That was great. They don't seem to make them anymore. I recently bought a long handled scraper but it has this same useless blade. I can't believe I've wasted my money on these items that don't serve their purpose.

Petco Dark Blue Aquarium Gravel, 5 lbs.

The color on these rocks was bright and the exact blue I wanted. I was using them to fill the bottom of planters for a decorative touch and to absorb some of the water. Worked like a charm!

The dye is not permanent. While rinsing, I noticed that my fingers turned blue. The water it did not show much color change. I had placed the gravel in a colander and that in a white bowl to catch the fines. After ~30 min in water the dye still rubs off and the bowl is stained blue. Will this harm fish? If this is normal a short comment in the description could have covered my concern.

Nice mix of blue. My betta looks great with it. You can easily rinse out fecises unlike most gravel that would go down and clog the drain.

Hagen Elite Air Pump for Aquarium - 110 V

My 801 Elite air pump is NOT quiet. It is the same style as this 803, but the 801 appears to be unavailable now--I bought mine on Amazon. It is at least as loud as my fridge, which makes it marginally quieter than my Whisper 20, but still way too loud to live in the same house with. I have an ancient Tetra pump that is quiet, but I haven't been able to find any modern pumps nearly so tolerable. I've ordered one of Hagen's new style pumps through Amazon to see if maybe they're reasonably quiet. I'll review that pump after it comes.

This is a great no-frills pump. Works great powering an air wall in a 60 gal aquarium. Not real quiet, I wrap it in a towel on carpeting and that quiets it down big time. It is very powerful, especially for its stated power of up to 20 gallon tanks, and is a great buy at such an inexpensive price compared to other pumps.

This air pump works great !

Has plenty of power for a air stone in a 55 gallon tank.

product I received was blue not gold.

but that really did not matter to me.

Mardel Live NH3 In-Tank Meter (Ammonia) Aquarium Water Testing Refill Pack

Mardel Live NH3 In-Tank Meter Aquarium Water Testing Refill Pack

Ammonia levels displayed clearly with out having to test. Saves time and money on other strips. Constant feedback on stress level.

Product is a neat idea to continuously monitor Ammonia levels in the aquarium. However, the readings are not accurate and do not match the readings I get when I manually sample the water for Ammonia. I do not recommend this product. Since I cannot trust the readings, this has been a waste of money and I still have to manually sample and test the water.

Jardin Plastic Fish Tank Aquarium Plant Décor with Ceramic Base, 5-Piece, Red Green

I waited weeks for this to get in stock because I knew I wanted this color combination, and it did not disappoint. These are beautiful in the water. When you turn your tank light on they look absolutely amazing. If you have a red ornament in your tank like I do, it really makes things pop.

The quality of the plants is good, and the bases are weighted enough to keep the plant down by itself. You will not find this color combination in this style of plant anywhere else, and the price is good, around a dollar and some change each. I recommend you buy this item. Since it comes with 5 in a pack it is really ideal.
