Coralife 77270 3X Turbo-Twist Pond Clarifier , 9-Watt

Coralife 77270 3X Turbo-Twist Pond Clarifier , 9-WattI wasn't protecting coral with the Twist Clarifier, so more robust chemical anti-bacterials were available to me. 1) the bulb doesn't last very long & 2) it was inadequate used alone, forcing me to support the clarifier with chemical anti-bacterials. If you can use chemicals, they'll be more effective. If you can't, better to select a stronger UV source to improve effectiveness.

biOrb First Aid Service Kit

biOrb First Aid Service KitWe went on vacation and had a friend feed our fish and we came back and they looked a little sick, some algae growing on them or something so I ordered this and after a week they were looking more lively and the growths went away. Fair warning though, this is only a 2 week service kit, it says you have to change it out after 2 weeks back to a normal filter.

Cal Pump PW2500 Direct Drive 2500 GPH Waterfall Pump

Cal Pump PW2500 Direct Drive 2500 GPH Waterfall PumpShipping was very quick. I have used this pump in the past works well. I generally get about 3 to 4 years out of it and I have to get a new one. How ever I use it year round in my outside pond about 1500 gals. And we go down to zero degrees sometimes in the winter. It has a good price for what you get.

This is the thrid one I purchased in two years....the other two stopped working (and they weren't run dry or abused in any way). I am going to look around for another brand to keep as a back up when this one goes.

This is the 3rd cal2500 we have purchased over the last 10 years.

The price is right and it is so quiet you would never know it was there.

It works great for our pond and waterfall. Our pond is 3ft deep, 12ft across the diameter. We keep the pump on all year except for cleaning so I would expect to replace it in approximately 2 years.

This model did not have the cage around the bottom, but that didn't make a difference to me.

Hope this helps.

Just received this pump. I ordered it as a replacement for my existing pond pump. The pump does not have the suction stand/screen that is in the picture one of the reasons I bought it to minimize crud entering the pump. It also is not new it appears to have been disassembled (screwdriver marks at the casing seams along with evidence that some kind of sealant that was used).

This pump stopped working after 3 weeks. Save your money and buy a different pump. This one is not worth it.

biOrb Small Color Ball 3 Pack (Red, Orange, Purple)

biOrb Small Color Ball 3 PackIf you are going for a brightly colored tank, this is a winner. I love how the weighted bottom makes cleaning the tank super easy. When you suction the bottom of the tank, you don't have to try to reanchor them when you are done. Make sure to suction them out too. They tend to gather "gunk" in them over time.

I put these in my 10 galon tank and I am so pleased. I wanted the tank to pop and this definitely did it!

These are very small but look really cute in my oceanic coral aquarium. I would purchase them again. Like the variety pack too.

It does brighten my aquarium but not exactly a high quality product.

Fairly easy to clean but be careful since it does falls apart easily.

Tetra 26316 Whisper Filter 10, 5-10-Gallon

Tetra 26316 Whisper Filter 10, 5-10-GallonProduct works well. I use it for my betta tank. Flow of water can be a little strong for the bettas. Due to this, I wish this product had a way to control the water flow.

This is perfect for my 10 gallon tank, creates crystal clear water. Fits nicely in back of tank, light hood fits around filter, no problem...The flow is a bit strong, solved this by putting a piece of plastic in front of outflow ( wedged it in there between hood and filter). It's very quiet too.

The bare minimum needed from a hang on back filter is to have water go in through the intake, pass through the filtration media, and return to the tank at the output. This filter gets that aspect of the job done. However, there aren't many other reasons to purchase the Whisper PF10 over other hang on back filters in the same price range. After a few months of use, several of my filters became loud, and required periodic adjusting to get water to come out of the intended outflow area (water sometimes comes out of the region above the intake tube like other reviewers have pointed out). One of my Whisper PF10 filters even started to leak at its base recently. Unless you can get this filter dirt cheap, I would NOT recommend buying it.

I've had the filter for about 4 months now, and it seems to filter the water nicely. The water flow is too strong, however, which forces food flakes into the tank before the fish have a chance to eat from the top. Small fish also have to fight the flow if they are not careful.

I like this filter because it keeps my fish tank cleaner than the one Tht I had before this one

Zilla 11823 Gut Load Cricket Drink with Calcium, 16-Ounce Bottle

Zilla 11823 Gut Load Cricket Drink with Calcium, 16-OunceĀ BottleOk so I've been keeping crickets for forever for my leopard gecko. I usually buy them once a week or so in sets of 10-15. They get a capful of this crap and another capful of some powder food. Honestly, this stuff is just terrible compared to that yellow liquid cricket stuff (you know the one). First off, it doesn't come with a scooper like the yellow. Second, it is made of these terrible little beads that get everywhere and try out within 2-3 days. Finally, the whole bottle has changed from green to blue (after about a month stored indoors in the shade). Also, the bottle is so tall that scooping (I use the scooper from the yellow gel stuff) is very inconvenient. I have to get my whole hand in there to get the stuff out. Since I dropped like 8 bucks on this thing I'm gonna power through, but I already have my yellow gel ready to go once this stuff is finally exhausted.

Moral of the story, it works, but not well. Get the yellow cubes (not the orange cubes, the yellow ones).
