Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Electronic Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-Gallon

Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Electronic Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-GallonThis aquarium heater has been in place and working for several months. I have been very happy with its performance to date. It gives me confidence in lowering my houses heat seating during the day while at work in the winter months. It would be nice if it had some feed back on the actual water temp, a digital read out or something. It currently has two lights, a green one to indicate it is working, and a red one that indicates when the heat element is actually on. I like this type heater especially though for its greater resistance to breaking as opposed to the glass tube models.

titanium is the way to go very,very acurrate a must have for saltwater aquarium with temp control for your tank

I bought and tried some cheap heaters with good reviews and everyone was junk, almost lost my fish a couple of times, this heater is awesome, unbreakable, and is within 2 degrees plus or minus, it does tank some time to heat a 55 gallon tank but once set, it is set it and forget it, day or night its dead on, no more worries or getting up all night to check temps, dont buy the cheap junk, put out the few extra dollars for this unit and be done with it, thank you for a great product.

Catalina Aquarium CA 3000 Aquarium Pump 1000 GPH

Catalina Aquarium CA 3000 Aquarium Pump 1000 GPHI purchased this because I saw one in a pet store but,it was pricey.I have a sump on my 125 gallon tank and,I needed another pump.I decided not to go back with the one I had so,I decided to try this and,I must say I am disappointed.The price was pretty good but it doesn't push as strong as my old one which was about the same gph.Also the fitting for my sump hose dose not fit snug.

I purchased this item in a setup.(tank,stand,hood,filtration system,etc.)USED. The pump was bad, It looked like it was run dry for a long time. The inside where the impeller goes had gotten hot and was deformed. So I bought a new one of the same type. Seems to work good, it pumps alot of water. The only servicable part is the impeller. It's easy to clean. We'll see how long it lasts. But it works good now.

I bought this to up the flow to my sump. It has an automatic thermostat that turns off when it gets too hot, then back on when it cools down. In 80 degree water that's very 10 minutes. So, it either has a bad self cooling design or the thermostat is super sensitive. I don't need a filter that turns itself off every 10 mins for 5 mins at a time. I'm 50/50 on whether to return it or use the feature as a wave maker in the tank. I prefer a high current in my freshwater 125, so this would put a nice kick up every 10 minutes then relax.

Fluval Chi Bamboo Background

Fluval Chi Bamboo BackgroundBought this background for my fluval chi and it is a perfect fit. It even has a small cut out in the back for the filter. Looks natural.

I love it but it was a little to long for my tank so I just cut it and it fits perfect. thanks for the fast service.

Buy Fluval Chi Bamboo Background Now

The background should provide for a beautiful tank. However, the product was folded in the box for shipping. Sharp creases resulted in a less than desirable result once applied to the back of the tank. I would strongly suggest purchasing the product in a retail store to avoid the background being destroyed when packaging for shipping! A disappointing purchase.

It is a nice background for Fluval Chi. However, the Fluval Chi itself is not so great for fish. Filter system is not adequate although if you don't mind changing out water often it works.

Perfecto Manufacturing APF33020 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 2.5-Gallon

Perfecto Manufacturing APF33020 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 2.5-GallonI couldn't see it on the web site but i trusted the dealer enough that it would work. It is great. My cat can't drink the Fish tank water any more. She can just stare at the fish

I bought the Marineland 2.5 Gallon Glass Aquarium from a pet store, and it originally came with the glass canopy. However, one day while cleaning the tank (I use it as a fish tank) I broke the glass top and had to tape it together. Well tape can only do so much... so I looked into finding a replacement that didn't require me to get a custom cut piece of glass. Lucky I found this item.

It is the perfect size for the 2.5 Gallon Marineland Aquarium (11.5'' x 5.5'')! Fit like a glove.

You can tell that it is cut by another manufacture because the edges are a little rough (my original glass canopy made by Marineland had smoother straighter edges), but I didn't find this to be a problem. The glass canopy still looks excellent. Certainly much better than a taped together one.

And as a plus it comes with a clear plastic handle (about 2'' x 0.75'' x 0.5'') that sticks to the glass. But beware, once you but the handle on it won't come off. It is pretty much permanent. I like the handle, though, because it makes it easier to lift the top to feed the fish and clean the tank. Not to mention it is clear so it blends in well, and isn't an eye soar.

Now, lets just hope I don't break this one too.

Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ounce

Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ouncethe product works fine. make sure the background is flat. mine wasnt, so i had to use clear tape for the edges. works great but, so does a cheaper bottle of mineral oil...

I had a background on my 55 gallon Which I stuck on with double sided tape. Where the tape ran, the background was pretty bright, the rest was so-so. I saw this and wondered if it would work to make the whole thing look like the parts where I had the tape. It does! The background is so bright now. It reflects light back into the tank, and makes the whole thing brighter. Amazing! My recommendations: Make sure your surface is clean (mine wasn't, so the bottom doesn't stick too well. Ideally make do it before you put your aquarium in place. Mine was 4 inches away from the wall, so it's impossible to get it perfect. Even still, this stuff is amazing!

This product works as its intended, however I was hoping for a better dispensing solution. I was attempting to apply it straight to the fish tank since my backing kept rolling up and prevented me from applying according to the directions. But overall, once applied liberally, it worked perfectly for adhering the background to the tank.

Product application was easy enough, and results were satisfactory... for approximately 30 days. Long vertical sections have "bubbled up" from the glass, and one end has started to separate from (curl away from) the aquarium glass.

Maybe I could have done things differently prior to installation; flattened background, used more than one tube, etc. However, considering the distinct lack of information or guidance in these areas on or in the packaging, I will never really know.

I would not buy this product again.

Want Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ounce Discount?

You could use this goop or some sort of vaseline based solution for your aquarium background. It was a messy, messy job as I spread the solution evenly over the background. I must not have done that great of a job because my background started bubbling and I eventually took it off. Maybe it's a user error, not the product. I wouldn't buy this stuff again because it's super messy and now I'm stuck with trying to wipe if off the back of my aquarium, yuk.

U.P. Aqua Professional (long) Scissor

U.P. Aqua Professional ScissorWorks great. sharp, cuts clean, and long reach. Nothing to complain about. i trim crypt wendtii, java fern, anubias, dwarf four leaf clover, and pennywort.

You might think this is too long. Well, once you put your hand in the water, you will wish your scissors would be a little longer.

This 10 inch one is not too long. And it's priced very reasonably.

I wish it were a little smoother at the joint, but it is better than not to be able to hold the two blades.

The blade tips are accurate enough to cut very small plants.

This is a very good quality scissor for use on aquarium plants. Works well to clip down near the base when removing the dead/discolored leaves on amazon sword plants. All stainless construction so it does not rust.

They work just as I would have expected. Seem to be of high quality and very sharp. With a 55 gallon tank, it's great to have the extra lenght. A little on the pricey side though.

Nature's Pure Glass Aquarium Sphere 12" Dia x 10" Height, 2.75 Gallons.

Nature's Pure Glass Aquarium Sphere 12' Dia x 10' Height, 2.75 Gallons.I ordered this glass bowl to make a terrarium I would be giving as a thank you gift. It is a beautiful, solid glass bowl. I am very pleased with the purchase and am buying another today.

I bought this goldfish bowl for my 3 year old daughter because I wasn't ready to do the whole acquarium scene. All I could find everywhere else was the most 2 gallon. This size gives a couple of goldfish some good room to swim.

It's visually a nice decor bowl. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because due to the nature of hand blown glass it becomes very thin at the top of the bowl. Plus $40 is a little extreme I believe.

Aquarium Tank, Glass, 10 Gal

Aquarium Tank, Glass, 10 GalBe forewarned this product doesn't come with the lid as shown. The same picture used here is used for the lid as well. They are different items, which need to be ordered separately. I received the lid. Not the aquarium. When I went back to check the order it turns out the lid was all I ordered. Talk about annoying.

The tank arrived in a huge box at least three times the size of the tank I opened it found a layer of padding and another box so I opened that one and I found the tank suspended by 8 foam corner pieces. It was the best packaging I have seen for a fish tank. They also sell 20 and 29 gallon fish tanks so if I ever need another tank I know who I'm going to get it from.

R-Zilla SRZ100011875 Fresh Air Screen Cover with Hinged Door for Pet Cages, 30-1/4 by 12-7/8-Inch,

R-Zilla SRZ100011875 Fresh Air Screen Cover with Hinged Door for Pet Cages, 30-1/4 by 12-7/8-Inch, BlackBought a couple of these for my pet mice cages. Don't know why they don't seem to carry these in any stores in my area. I couldn't do without them. So much better than the covers without the little doors where you have to lift the entire lid to get into the cage! That can be especially hard if you have something in one hand. I am afraid one of my mice will leap out with the entire lid off. Not so much a concern with the trap door. The little trap door makes it so much easier/safer/convenient when I am feeding my mice, or cleaning the cage. When I am done, the trap door can easily be locked securely with one twist.

I highly recommend this item as a lid for covering aquariums.

Purchased this for my iguana tank. Fit perfectly and is snug too. This is a great item for the price. Arrived fast too. Would recommend it.

I was given a tortoise with the enclosure he grew up in which is a zilla 20gallon long tank. The tank has the slide in type of screen, fine mesh, tends to give out. This screen here is not a slider but will fit over the tank with just a little push. Fits nicely and a much heavier gauge screen than the one my tank came with. I believe it offers better air circulation. Your dome lamps can rest right on the screen if you want. It even holds the weight of my cat that sleeps on top of the tank at night! The door is a nice convenience for times you don't need to pop off the entire top but when you do it the entire cover goes on and off with ease. Well worth twenty bucks.

This was the same price as a screen without the door. The door is so extremely useful. I have a water turtle that I have to feed each day and we keep two lamps on top of the screen. It was such a hassle to remove the screen each time and then make sure the filter cord was in place correctly. Now, we just lift the screen and done! Great price, as it was the same as buying without the handy door and shipping was fast. Would recommend to anyone that needs to remove the screen regularly.

API Accu-Clear Water Clarifier

API Accu-Clear Water Clarifier, 1.25-OunceThis is the best product for keeping my aquarium sparkling. I happened on it by accident at a supply place once and had not been able to find it again around here. So I searched the web and found it. I will order it again and again, as long as I have a fish tank and the internet. Within minutes my tank looks like a brand new tank and my fish handle it well. Thank you for this opportunity to express my opinion. Keep on doing what your doing.

I've been using this product for about a year now. Every time I siphon the gravel in my tanks, a lot of detritus and waste gets kicked up into the water. Using this is pretty entertaining and functional when you put it in, it looks like a fog rolling through your tank. It's kinda surreal. After an hour or two (depending on how many gallons per hour your filter processes), it clears right up.

Note that this will NOT work on an unfiltered tank. This product functions by making the particles in the tank large and heavy enough to be picked up by the filter. Also, be very careful when measuring this out I don't know for sure if it's related, but every time I use this product and then test my water, my pH comes back a teensy bit high. Using too much may cause problems for pH-sensitive fish.

I've been using Api for my tanks for well over 17 years and i would never change their products for any other brand in the world. That said the Api Accu-Clear should become a staple in any aquarium/fish tank cabinet because you will never find anything that will work better than this.

First off for reviewers that complain about the Api Accu-Clear READ the instructions and be PATIENT.

Accu-Clear on average depending on how cloudy your water is, the chemicals/products you have used in the water, the fish, the set-up, the quality of water in your area, the size of your tank, the type of filter you are using,+++ in my experience for a 6 gallon tank for example you will see the water change within 30 minutes and its not a "good" change, it becomes even cloudier and for the first 12h it pretty much stays like that. I know you are going to worry about your fish DON'T they are fine. I know you are going to want to add more chemicals, etc. DON'T just wait everything will be fine. And most importantly i know you are going to want to do a water change be it 25% or 50% or the whole thing DO NOT do that either just be PATIENT and wait!! After about 15h or so you should start seeing your tanks water clear up but you will not see results until at least 24-36h again depending on everything i mention above.

I have tried multiple times throughout the years to use other brands but without exception each and every one of them have failed miserably simply put they just won't work!

I trust Api products with my eyes closed, i would highly recommend them to everyone and i definitely will be buying them for as long as i own tanks.

Coralife Super Skimmer with Pump

Coralife 05272 Super Skimmer with Pump, 125-GallonOkay just being clear the new style skimmer I think is much better than the old one: I recently purchased the 125 model and it is being used on a 110 gallon FOWLR system as a HOB skimmer: It does not come with the best instructions but at the same time it's not hard to get running: I washed the unit before I put it in the tank to get the plastic film from production off the entire unit: Just warm water and a very small amount of vinegar in the kitchen sink: It started producing within an acouple of days: I must say it does sound a little noisy at first but mine did become quiter after about a week: I tried it first with the large round black sponge on the discharge tube and it worked: It just was to close the lights in my tank and started having some micro algea grow on it: I removed it and have not put it back on: adjustment of the skimmer is quite easy to me: Just turn the red knob till the bubbles are where you want them: Took about a week of fine adjustments to really get it working like I wanted: Micro bubbles were more than usual in the first two weeks, but have been reduced to near nothing: I did shorten the supplied tubing so the pump would sit closer to the input of the nozzle: it comes with two lengths so you can use HOB or sump setup: Large collection cup with a drain plug is nice for the price: Only compliant was the pump: In the user manual coralife recommends a 650-750gph pump for best operation: The pump shipped with is a 2000L/hr unit that converts to 528 GPH. I have not decided yet to upgrade the pump at my expense or not: But even with that said it does produce a huge amount of micro bubbles inside the skimmer and it still works: Overall not a bad skimmer for the price range: and it also comes with a tube silencer for the air intake whice is very noisy without it: I also noticed you need to tighten the collection cup down pretty tight because the grove the O-ring sits on is deep.

This skimmer ROCKS!!! Most lower end skimmers need a week to begin producing skimmate-this produced thick coffee-dark sludge within minutes of being plugged in. It's super easy to adjust, has a big enough collection cup to prevent you from having to fiddle with it every few hours, and it produces NO microbubbles. Since my 75g QT tank was filthy, the water was turning opaque, and the walls were covered in algae, I set it up and had it run very wet. I sent the built in overflow (vacation-safe!) tubing out to a gallon jug It was fill in two days with dark sludge, and the water was crystal clear.

It isn't perfect, but it's close enough and you save $500 on the price of the perfect one.

After using 5 other skimmers for various other tanks, I'm stuck on this one. I have the 220g version running on my 75QT tank, and will make room for it on my main tank when my fish are out of QT. This works so well, it precludes my need for an RO/DI unit, as it pulls out all brown silicate algae as well.

The amount of skim the first week was amazing to see it working. I did have a skimmer from Instant Ocean and it was crap compared to this unit. Coralife's Bubble production from the motor is great. I did have a problem two weeks into running... the motor starting making noise. It was the plastic housing holding the motor shaft in place, was cracked. I removed the cracked part of the housing so that it was wouldn't fall loose into the motor causing more damage and decide to sill run it. Called their customer service and a new housing would be replaced, no hassle, no questions asked other than name and address.

This skimmer does what it says but as others have said it leaks small amounts of water from the adjustment knob so its best used in a sump.

Want Coralife Super Skimmer with Pump Discount?

I bought the "new style" skimmer. Makes alot of bubbles for the proteins to stick to, the bigger and better collection cup is bigger and better, But the skimmer wouldn't turn down enough to stop a constant flow of micro bubbles into the collection cup. I let it run for 3 days, routing the flow through the optional drain tube back into my sump while I awaited Coralife Techs to return my email...I'm still waiting. I resolved the problem by placing a ball valve between the pump and skimmer intake, slowing the water flow slightly, and now it works great! The pump seems to be just a little too powerful for the return flow design.
