Reef One Biorb Grass Ring

Despite the fact that I thought this item was a little pricey, it does do wonders for my tank. I love the way it fits around the air pump and my African Dwarf frog loves hanging on the grass. And while it is a little big for my Baby BiOrb, it's an easy way to brighten up my tank.

This decoration really boosts the appearance of my biOrb. It is easy to clean and very cute. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to spice up the aesthetics of their aquarium. My betta fish likes it too as he frequently swims in and out of it.

I love this product. I bought it because it was aesthetically beautiful and had great reviews, and I didn't let me down! The soft leaves are not only beautiful and natural looking, but they do not tear at my fragile betta's fins like many other artificial plants of inferior quality. I have a regular cube aquarium that is 1.5g with a single delta tail betta (Merman), and I will say that even a small grass ring is quite large. It fills a huge chunk of the middle, so if you have a tiny tank (smaller than 1.5g), I wouldn't recommend it. (I'm upgrading to a 6 gallon and mixing this decor with real plants so it won't be a problem). I shoved some sand over the bottom to make it appear like it was growing out of the sand. I really like that it is weighted in a ceramic ring there's not risk of it floating up and destroying the illusion of a real plant. Another huge plus of having this biOrb grass ring is that it is hollow in the middle, obviously because it is meant to fit over the air filter tube of a biOrb. In my non-biOrb tank, the hollow middle part serves as a very ingenious "cave" that my betta loves hanging out in, and sleeping in. It is so thick with hair grass that you can't see the hollow in the middle imagine my initial surprise when I was looking for Merman and he was nowhere to be found! Eventually he came lazily swimming out of his new hang out in the middle of the hair grass, it was hilarious. He adores it.

As a tip, it is definitely worth it to gently bend the leaves while doing that first rinse, so that they end up spreading outwards in the tank. It looks much more natural that way, and your fish will love swimming in and out of the leaves. The only con is that this is really expensive by fake aquarium plant standards, but the quality and fun of it all is priceless.

This item fits perfectly over the tube concealing the tube. It's a perfect addition to beautify the tank

It comes off easily to quickly rinse and clean. It has a vibrant green color that beautifies the tank

It's a quick solution and inexpensive solution to cover the unsightly tube.

I recommend this product fully. Just make sure to order the small ring if you have the baby tank

Jardin Fish Tank 4 Layer Sponge Biochemical Water Corner Filter

Have had this running for about two months while hooked to a Tetra Whisper pump for 10gals (also from Amazon excellent pump). Originally, had it in my 20 gallon as a supplemental filter and to keep ammonia/nitrite levels stabilized while I was switching between an HOB filter to a canister filter. Although the pump used for it was not rated for a 20gal I'd like to think it did its job. The shape allows me to tuck it in the back corner behind a plant and it is not visible from the front. There was always debris, fish food, and poop attached to it meaning that it was at least sucking up waste.

About two weeks ago I transferred it a poorly maintained and neglected 5 gallon tank with crabs. After changing the tank the water was still cloudy with algae chunks, exoskeletons, and that white film that comes from stagnant water. Well all the debris eventually got stuck on the surface of the sponge and throughout the day you can see the debris get smaller and smaller as it was broken down by the bacteria I guess. By the next day the water and the sponge was clean as a whistle. It is currently still in my 5 gallon with 2 crabs and about a dozen adolescent guppies and all ammonia/nitrite levels are absolutely fine.

In conclusion this is a good filter overall and an excellent filter for small tanks. I will consider buying more of these for any future small tanks. Also in retrospect there is a 6-layer version that is marginally more expensive but would be better suited for larger tanks with more surface area for bacteria to grow on.

So the description is misleading, though technically perhaps correct. When there is no air flowing through the sponge, it does indeed sink, as advertised. However when you are actually using the sponge the air flow and bubbles is enough to make it float. I tried taping the tube to the side wall or something with no luck, it reallllly wants to float, so I ended up putting it under one of my other decorations to keep it down. I'll likely tie it to a rock or something when the snow thaws and I can go outside and find one.

Aside from that it seems quality, though I can't speak to the longevity as I've only had a few days. For me it's not worth the hassle of returning it to get a different one, but when it needs to be replaced I'll likely not buy the same one.

EDIT!!!!!!!!! About a month in, after the bacteria and gunk had time to colonize on it, it weighed down and tank on it's own, so I upgraded the stars to 4.

Rosewood Colourburst Floral Amazon Butterfly Leaf Ribbon, Blue

This plant is perfect! I Love the color, it brings so much life to the tank. The movement of these plants is beautiful, but because it is so soft and tall it doesn't really stand straight up. It becomes kind of vine like, and moves around a lot.

Perfect for my needs, because I have a lot of driftwood in my tank to hold it where I want it. This is my turtle's favorite plant as well, he has made his "den" underneath it. I am switching to all silk Vibran-sea plants in my 55 gallon turtle tank, and I think I'll end up with 2 extra-large, and 3 large to give it a full effect.

Very flimsy. From the day I placed it in the tank it fell over and and has not moved since. It is sitting at the opposite end of the tank where it is out of the water flow, so that is not the cause. It is basically a trash collector for food bits and algae. Next tank cleaningin the bin it goes.

First off let me say this, this picture does not do this product justice. The product that I received clearly does not look like the picture. I was happy with this product at first, except that it didn't stand up right, the plastic was a little flimsy and would not stand up straight. I solved this issue with a small plastic rod and zip-ties to hold it in place. The biggest issue came a few months later when I saw that my filter were picking up little blue filaments. The silk plants do not last and the blue stuff goes into my filters. One last issue I had is these plants are pretty hard to clean. Perhaps I'm not cleaning them correctly, but if algae gets on them they are there to stay. They are pretty to look at in the water, but not worth the trouble. I'm going to stick with plastic aquarium plants from now on.

I really liked the way this plant looked when I got it, it looks great in the water and moves around like a real plant would. I am disappointed because it has stained a lot. I've tried cleaning it, to no avail. I've read that you shouldn't use bleach to clean anything that will go back in an aquarium so it seems that there aren't too many other options. Nice looking plant if you can figure out a way to clean it.

Want Rosewood Colourburst Floral Amazon Butterfly Leaf Ribbon, Blue Discount?

Picked up two of these Vibran-Sea tall silk plants paired with one medium and they fill up my 75gal tank perfectly. I've had to clean them once in the last six months due to algae buildup. Just lightly scrubbed them under warm water and let them sit in water with bleach. Cleaned them off with declor and other recommended chemicals to neutralize the bleach and they came out with no discoloration or fading. I've got a 175 gal filter on the tank and it does have a tendency to blow over the plants and move them slightly, but this could be because I use a sand substrate. Very vibrant colors in the purple and blue, I'll be sticking with this company to purchase any more plants in the future for my aquarium needs.

Petco Hex Freshwater Aquarium

I just bought this tank a week ago, and I and my Betta already love it. He is making his little bubble nest as we speak. I had to baffle the filter, but after I did that, it works great. The current output is too strong for the little tank, and would blow my betta all over the place. So i baffled it. The light is a great one, I like that it has two settings, bright LED white for the day, and a soft Blue glow for the night. The light also doesnt get too hot after keeping it on all day, nor does it heat the tank. I have both a Hex aquarium from Petco, as well as the Mini Bow 2.5 and I like the light from the Petco tank a lot better. The tank itself is Plastic, but it was very easy to assemble and I hope just as easy to clean. It is spacious enough for a fake plant, I am not sure if live plants would thrive, and also for a heater.

So definately two thumbs up, and I plan on buying at least one more of these tanks for yet another betta in the future.

My fish love this tank and I love the LED lighting which has a blue and white light option. Now for the issues. I've had it for less than a year and the white LED is turning into a strobe light, blinking on and off so something is up with the wiring. The filter works great but I don't live anywhere near a petco so getting the right size filter is a huge pain. there is a size that walmart sells that is really close but you have to force it in and fight with it to get it out. otherwise it's a nice tank with a good view.

The filter makes the current way too strong for any small fish to live in here comfortably. And if you put anything bigger than a betta, you aren't really giving your fish enough space....so I don't understand what good this tank is. I bought mine from Petco directly and returned it

PondCare 180B Spring and Autumn Pond Fish Food Premium Pellet, 39-Ounce

I always use seasonal fish food. My pond fish are healthy and regularly reproduce. I think the size of the food is easier for them to consume than the sticks, especially for the little ones.

This product is excellent to fed your pond friends, when their water temperatures are in the 50's and lower 60's. ('Spring and Autumn' food has a lower amount of protein, which is ideal for your fish when your weather starts to get cooler) You can switch to their "regular warm weather food" when the water temperature's reach about 70 degree's. As many people may know, pond fishes digestion is not operating at 100% when their water is too cool. In fact you shouldn't feed your fish at all, when the water temperature falls in the low 40's. They go into a hibernation-like state and will not want to eat. Their bodies are designed to handle no food during cold weather and they survive well using their built up body fat reserves.

The 'Spring and Autumn' food has just the right amount of protein, vitamins and minerals, when the water temperatures are low. It keeps my fish healthy and happy, when they start to go into the cooler weather. If your pond is heated, check the water temperature to see if it is warm enough to give your fish any food. Do not feed your fish at all if the water temperature is below 49 degrees.

I have found PondCare products to exceed my expectations, when the product instructions are followed carefully.

TOM Aquarium Aqua Lifter Pre-Filter

be careful because there is a black washer in the lid that comes off and is easily lost if you are unaware. i lost mine and the filter was leaking water from the side of the lid. i set a rubber band in the lid to act as a washer to seal the container. so far, no leaks and is already beginning to collect small debris. if only it came with a warning about the loose washer....

This pre-filter is a must have if you are running TOM Aquarium Aqua Lifter Pump. I have burned up 3 of these pumps because I was not using the pre filter and solids where sucked into the pump. my overflow is running perfectly now

Buy TOM Aquarium Aqua Lifter Pre-Filter Now

I'm not certain what the previous reviewer was reviewing but it couldn't have been this product because there is nothing resembling a rubber band in the product. It works well with the aqualifter pump to keep the pump clean. My only complaint is that I've never been able to find a replacement filter, you have to buy the whole thing again instead of just the fiber filter part. It can be cleaned but eventually you have to replace it by buying the whole thing again. Aqualifters are great and it is only prudent to use these filters for protecting them.

When I received the prefilter I was hoping to use it as an external filter before it got to the aqualifter. Unfortunately, it leaked, and there went that idea right out the window.

I should note that I was trying to get a low volume of water movement out of this pump/prefilter setup. I simply needed to move water around in my very small (2.5 gallon) aquarium. It is a shrimp tank.

I found that using the "aqualifter" by itself (without the preflter) lead to diminished water circulation. At the end of a 24 hour period the water circulation was only a drip. The pump seemed strained (like it was working hard).

I still use the "aqualifter" to transfer clean (and only clean) water to the tanks I have. I simply don't use the prefilter.

In all honesty, What I was looking for was a filter that would circulate a small volume of water for a small (2.5 gallon) tank. I did not want the noise of an air pump with an air stone. In the end I settled for the "Azoo palm filter" which has a regulator that can redue the flow to much less than any other pump I found (and it's cheap). The specs say something like 17 gal per hour. (your milage may vary). I should mention that I am quite happy, the tank I have is at the moment at the foot of my bed and after a little getting used to, does not keep me awake

EcoPlus Commercial Air 1 - 18 Watts Single Outlet

I had plants in deep water culture which began showing the signs of oxygen deprivation. I was running a couple of those wally-world pumps and it wasn't getting the job done. This pump has taken care of all that, with air to spare. As for sound, it is a touch louder than the two household pumps, but not too bad at all. If you're growing in a living space, such as your bedroom or living room, it's probably too loud. But if your grow area is in your basement or a closet, you'll never notice it. I highly recommend this pump for DWC. **** The brass air outlet is NOT standard aquarium air line size, it's a size up but the deal comes with a 6" piece of hose and the gang valve that DOES reduce down to standard airline size. If you plan on going from the pump directly to your own gang valve assembly, you'll need to pick up a reducer at the hardware store.

The Air 1 Commercial Air pump is a great and durable product. I have had one running in my koi pond for 3 years now, non-stop, winter and summer, 24 hours a day and it is still going strong. Never had any trouble with it at all. Very powerful for the size and very quiet. Bought a second one for an additional pond.

Buy EcoPlus Commercial Air 1 - 18 Watts Single Outlet Now

I bought this for my koi pond, the heat here in the summer is pretty intense and I felt the fish would benefit from some extra oxygen! I first tested it inside. When I turned it on it sounded like a freight train! Of course my first thought was this is not going to be good!! However once I got it all installed outside the noise was minimal. Between the filter, the water falls, the birds singing etc you could not hear it. It really is powefful and my fish love it, they love hanging out in all the bubbles. The air stone is 6 inches in diameter and works very well.IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE AIR STONE YOU MUST PURCHASE THE STONE SEPERATELY.

I purchased a small plastic container melted a hole for the tubing and another for the power cord and enclsoed the pump inside the container so it will not become wet. It also comes with a bar that has 5 ports on it so you can hook up several air stones at at time if you wish.

Highly recommend

This pump looks to be durable and from other reviews I was prompted to purchase one. My only complaint is that now I am stuck with a pump that is very loud. If it is to be used outside the sound wont be a problem but inside its just to loud. For this reason I can only give it a three star rating.

Want EcoPlus Commercial Air 1 - 18 Watts Single Outlet Discount?

I agree with the high quality. I have one that has been on constantly for 4 months now and it does get hot but no soo hot u cant touch it. It has not given any problems, it aerates multiple ponds with strong constant pressure ( although mine is a bit higher in L/hr). I am just looking for a second for another product and ran across this and felt like I should write a positive review. I was pleasantly surprised to feel some weight and finally a product that wasn't made a plastic and look like it can take some abuse. I do worry it will break but they have kits to fix them so that is another plus. I would never go back to a dual plastic Mr. cheapo model when they make these things look like they are a car part from a 1970's era hot rod. They look indestructible, the metal is solid. A bit noisy on a wooden board or i imagine cement but i think that bad characteristic is a well worth trade off.

The light doesn't light up the half gallon Marina tank very well at all. It's about the equivalent to shining a small pocket flashlight with almost depleted batteries through the top. Keep in mind my small tank has a maroon lid, so there is quite a bit of light filtering going on. However, even when turning on the light while it's off of the tank, the light output is minimal. It doesn't put out much heat either. I recommend looking at other lights, as you get what you pay for with this particular unit.

Digital Mini Automatic LCD Aquarium Fish Tank Food Feeder Timer Home up to 4 Feeding Times

The only issue that I have with this feeder is that the dispense slot is too small even when I opened it all the way. For pellets might be okay but flakes tends to be jammed up and not enough dispensed. I even set the timer to open twice within 2 minutes. I will have to break up the flakes into smaller piece for it to work.

I had looked at several automatic feeders and read many reviews before buying this one. I was a little skeptical based on some of the reviews. After getting this feeder and setting it up, (it's been about 1 week) I am so far very pleased. The feeder works great. I am using it with flake food. I found that if you break up the big flakes when filling it, the amount dispensed is a lot more consistent. I don't know how it would work for pellets . Using the manual feed button, I got the amount dispensed to what I wanted. I did this over a plate on the counter. The only concern I have is if over time the flakes will absorb moisture and clog up the feeder. So far no. The feeder sits about 3-4 inches above the tank so I don't know if moisture will be an issue. If you are looking for a low priced feeder for small to medium fish, I would not hesitate to buy this one. It's light weight and small and easy to set up. With the flakes crushed, I'd say it gives me about 2-3 weeks worth of feeding. I only feed my fish once a day, the feeder can be programmed for up to 3 feedings and there is the manual button to feed anytime.

The instructions were simple and easy to follow. The timer is very accurate, It hasn't lost or gained any time in two weeks.

Adjusting the food amount takes some time, and occasionally isn't consistent and will dump a little more than you want. All in all it's definitely worth the money.

The unit is easy to program and works well with pellet food. It's less consistent with flakes. I recommend testing it over a piece of paper a few times to fine tune the dispenser adjustment.

Also, make sure that the unit and its mounting clamp is suitable for your tank. I had a little difficulty finding a spot that cleared my lights and I had to come up with a temporary cover that allows the food to drop. The food is released through a trap door and I had to lower my water level a little bit so that it didn't sweep through the water on its way around.

Another word of advice: throw the included batteries away and supply fresh ones. Mine died during our vacation and I came back to some pretty hungry fish.

Except for the battery issue, I am pretty happy with the performance.

Look buyers, this cost me only $9.20 + P&H, the other vendor sell it at much higher price. It works great. I have one almost exactly look alike except it's bigger. Since I only use it when I will be out for more than couple of days, I keep on forgetting how to set the time and feeding time. That's when I mesh up the adjust button, everything else work. It didn't happened right away, it took five years of guessing and pressing hard.

Like:

Four feeding time

There's a repeat for every feeding time, twice

It's moisture resistant

Feeder container can be opened to place food (convenient)

Con:

The vise is narrow, good for smaller edge aquarium

There's a transparent barrel that turns to dispense food and the amount to dispense depend how much the gaps is opened. It filters depend on food size rather than quantity. You have to do a test to see if quantity is enough and if not use the repeat option per feed or add more feeding schedule time.

It could have been useless for me if I didn't have the old one which I use as a spare parts. I reused the vise from the old to the new feeder, thanks is fits. If what I have described fit your aquarium, this is a Great auto feeder. The larger size is AF-2005D and the mini size is AF-2009D. If you need the larger one then search for it. The food drum container is enough for two weeks dispensing I believed, the large size is really large than the mini, good at least for a month.
