Aquatic Fundamentals 10/20 Gallon Aquarium Stand with Storage

Let me start by saying 20 gallons is in fact the limit on the stand, not 24 or 23 or 29 but 20. This is fine though because that's what is says. OK so why the three stars? The design of this stand is not so good. I have two gripes with it. First is those poles you see in the pic do not go all the way through the shelf to the base. What you see in the pic is it, so basically all the weight is on the two side pieces on the bottom. What happens is over time it causes the middle shelf to bow. This then causes the doors to not close or not open depends on your use.The second thing is if you get this thing wet and it sits for any kind of time (like 5 mins when doing a water change)it ruins the finish, it starts to blister. This is stupid seeing as it's purpose is to hold a box of water basically. So if you get any of it wet clean it up ASAP.

I just put the stand together. I had no experience with material handiwork, so using the screwdrivers to screw together the heavy panels was quite an effort and took two hours. However, the parts seem sturdy and long-lasting and the stand is nice-looking. I just put an 8 gallon tank on it and it is holding up.

The only thing is that the stand comes with an allan wrench, but you also need a Phillips head screwdriver, which is not included. Getting the door panels on was a little tricky at first, because you have to put one hinge of each door in before you screw on the other hinge. It's not hard to figure out, but two people would do it easier than one.

the cover doesn't fit the container as tightly and snug as other brands I have used before. It won't come off unless you pull but it does have some wiggle room.

biOrb Light Blub Pack - Halogen 10 Watt

Bought this bulb as a replacement for my BiOrb aquarium. I ordered/paid for a 10 watt ---BIORB--blub (as advertised)and received some cheap knock-off brand ((((12 Watt)))) blub. If you can find a different dealer I would HIGHLY recommend doing so. What is advertised in the display pic is not what you receive. I would consider it FALSE ADVERTISING...

This was not a biorb brand light, it is the same specs from CHINA. I believe the spectrum is different as well. Avoid this seller if you can find the real deal.

Why in the name of whatever did they to with DC light source? Why is their product so expensive? Why did my supervisor decide this was a good choice? Dunno any the answers, but this will replace a burned out bulb on thier silly fish tanks. If they were honest, they would offer a LED upgrade for under $5.

EcoPlus AIR-4 Four Outlet Air Pump

The damn thing arrived promptly and worked correctly for about 2 weeks. The cheap plastic broke, seperating the top lid from the base. I super glued it back together and it works fine now. Didn't think I should have to do that, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it.

Kritter Keeper Round Fish Home

Before I start the review I INSIST that for a betta, you need at least a gallon or more minimum. When doing the math for the volume of this tank the height included the stand so instead of 3 gallons I got 1.5. They should make the volume for their aquarium tanks much clearer.

However I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the plastic and the size of the tank itself. It's a very tough strong air tight lid that snaps in a very secure fashion. It's built to be very durable and so far my fish is loving it.

The only bummer is that the lid doesn't leave space for a heater or filter. You have to snip at the plastic mesh on the top to create a hole for your chords to go through, hence why I removed a star. Otherwise I'm really liking it so far. Unique shape, attractive and well built product.

This product works great for my betta! Nice light bowl so easy to move and I like the pedestal. I will be buying more for sure as I collect bettas. :)

" The small size is an ideal home for Betta Splendens."

No, it's not. At all. Do some research before buying a betta (or any fish) and putting it in this death trap. Use it for water changes, maybe, but not as a permanent home!

Polybio Poly Filter Pad 4 X 8" 3/pack

I had used many different products to try and solve our nitrate problem, but the polyfilter was the only one to work to lower the level. My tank had also had low, but nagging, ammonia and nitrite readings that lowered to 0 when I put in the polyfilter. I used the product in my Fluval 350 canister filter, slipped down on the outside of the large foam inserts. I took out my used up filter and the nitrate level elevated again. I am glad to find that Amazon has a three pack, since my local fish store only carries packs of single filters and can't keep them in stock. The only downside of this product is that it states that it can be recharged, but when I tried recharging per directions but it was no longer effective in removing the nitrates, etc.

This is a must to clear the water of any medications used recentally or at least once a year to make sure to pickup anything the skimmer can't or whatever else you use. There is no substitute for this product anywhere. Truly a perfect filter that never takes out minerals or any needs life just phosphates and protiens, amonia etc. that you want to remove. IT lasts a while with color changing properties to aid in evaluating when it is full. Never leaches back into the water ever!

Keeping coral is no easy task, and if something leaches into the system it could take weeks to months for everything to recover. I have a very good filtration setup, but I also keep these Poly Filter pads, as insurance. They work great and change color depending on what it absorbs.

This product is pricey, if compared to the standard activated carbon. However, not only does it outperform activated carbon as a chemical filter, but adds the benefits of physical and biological filtration. In power and canister filters, polyfilter elevates performance by orders of magnitude.

Penn Plax South Castle Aquarium Décor

Purchased this item at Pet Co and love it! We have a 29 gallon tank and it takes up the entire right side. We have 4 medium sized goldfish, and it is just the right size for their comfort. To put as a grouping (the left side castle), you will need at least a 50 gallon tank OR 30 gallon tank with smaller fish. Looks great with black rock or tan color, as it makes the castle really pop! The reason for 4 stars, rather than 5: I had already purchased the right side castle prior to buying this one. While they are similar, the color is slightly off. I would recommend, if you are going to use as a set, make sure you purchase together, rather than individual pieces. (Duh! on my part)

I got this castle for my 72 gallon fresh water tank. It makes the tank look awesome and the fish enjoy exploring all the rooms. This product was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. If you like the picture, you'll love the real thing!

Yes, it is only half of the whole castle and I have both in my 200g tank and for the price and the size of the both of them, WOW again. Both of the sides of the castle required some bit of sanding ( with a dremel about 20 mins each till I was happy, and that was stopping and checking them and going again and checking and rechecking,) but it was not bad. Also they look Great and provide all kinds of cover and areas inside and out that allow my cichlids to create that Line of sight issue when chasing or being chased which lowers aggression. Overall for both sides of this castle and the price I have not found anything better then the both of them anywhere to include the internet!!!!

K&H Perfect Climate Deluxe Pond De-Icer

I have tried a lot of heaters/ de-icers, including trough heaters. All were similar in wattage. Most did not work well or were unreliable. I have used this one for the last 2 winters and not only did it work great, it kept a wide area open except in very cold with high wind. Even then it kept the immediate area open. Their guide was very helpful, I bought the wattage they suggested for my zone (N. IL). I am buying another one now as a back-up, in case I can't find it later. I use it with a thermo cube to cut down on unnecessary running.

We have a small garden pond which we like to keep open in the winter so that birds and wildlife will have a place to drink. Since we installed our new pond heater we have had weeks of sub-freezing weather and one heavy snowstorm. The pond is staying open and we are very pleased with the performance of the heater.

Buy K&H Perfect Climate Deluxe Pond De-Icer Now

I installed this heater in my very small pond the day I received it. The next morning I felt the water and the water was very cold. With that, I assumed the heater didn't work and I returned it, and gave it a bad review. I placed another order and when it arrived I plugged it in right away inside the house, and again nothing. I said this can't be happening again. I took a piece of ice and placed it on the metal rod, and the ice began to melt immediately. That's when I realized that this product is not a heater, it's a de-icer. The heating element does not kick on until the water begins to freeze. Last night here in Chicago we got some frost. I looked out the window and all my little goldfish were inside the the circle of the floater. I ran outside in a panic, thinking they were all dead but they were obviously hanging there to keep warm and when they saw me they scurried. I believe this product works fine so far but I won't know for sure until the pond actually freezes. Anyway, don't expect this heater to warm the water in the pond. It is not designed to do that. It is actually a de-icer.

The product works well, but the chart suggested 250W for my pond and at the recommended temperatures, it is not keeping a hole clear on the surface. If in doubt between two choices, consider the higher wattage unit for your pond.

DrTim's Aquatics Clear-UP Natural water Clarifier Freshwater, 4-Ounce

Worked well. I have to do additional work on my tank, but the product does work. I would recommend it for mild cloudiness.

Directions need to be followed which clearly state to wait 15 minutes for starting the filter pumps. I have used many products. I have worked many years with local Aquarium outlets when I have trouble with water quality.

I am very happy that I purchased. It was a great compliment to the quality of the water. I now use every product from Dr.Tim's without the need to consult local store. Easy directions to follow with results.

It would be great if the local stores would stock this brand.

This is supposed to be live bacteria acting like a flocculant. So maybe I had the bad luck of receiving a dead batch.

Adding Clear-Up to aid in the removal of fine particulate matter in mildly cloudy water and adding the same amount of water had exactly the same effect. Either the bacteria were all dead, or this only works in extremely cloudy water, or this product is a total dud.

I've been using Seachem Clarity for quite a few years now and yet has to see any negative effects of "harmful" chemicals. And Seachem Clarity actually works reducing mildly or heavily clouded water to crystal clarity in a few hours. Repeated applications of Clear-Up over a three day period only managed to increase the cloudiness of my mood.

Sorry Dr Tim. I either got a dead batch of bacteria or your team might need to return to the drawing board on this one.

One the other hand your Waste-Away product reducing organic waste build up appears to work quite well.

Aqueon LED Aquarium Light Fixture, 24-Inch

I have a 36 gallon bow front tank and this light fits it perfectly. To start I had a the standard day bulb along with a color bulb in but ended up taking out the color and adding another white to cut down on the amount of algae growth in my tank. I used to have a big algae problem growing on my tank lid that blocked all the light. With this fixture I wouldn't say there is no growth but it is certainly less and there is still plenty of light even when the algae starts to get thick between cleanings. I love that the bulbs can be changed out unlike other LED lights which are internal. It is nice knowing I can add up to 3 bulbs but I have to say 2 is more than sufficient for my tank. I don't use the "moon" feature but turn my light off at night but when I do turn it on there is a nice blue glow to the tank. This fixture is well worth the money and I am very happy I bought it.

Fluval Foreground Rock Aquarium Ornament

While the picture looks nice, when you actually get the item you don't even have to look close to see all the white blobs of glue that they used to glue the green plants to the rock. I am not just picking either. They are huge blobs that the picture doesn't show because they made sure to take a snapshot from a distance. When you look at it from a distance in my aquarium it is ok...but the closer you get the more you see the glue. Come on people, there is glue out there that drys clear...put a little bit more effort into your items you make and sell. Looks good from a distance...but very poor quality and little effort with the glue choice.

The quality of the product isnt that great. You can see the white glue that was used to fit this together and that doesnt look too good when you view this from outside the tank. I took it off after 3 or 4 weeks because it didnt fit the overall design of the tank

I haven't used artificial decor in my tank before, but I changed the fish I'm keeping and I needed a new look for the tank. I've had this in the tank for over a month, now, and my fish adapted well. The water quality hasn't changed after adding the resin/plastic decorative pieces, so would recommend this to anyone as safe decor to add to your tropical tank.

Pennplax Red Bonsai Tree Aquarium Decor, 8-Inch

Beautiful addition to a betta tank. He absolutely loves to sit on the leaves., and since it's made of silk, it won't damage his fins.

The product was as pictured. Some leaves were bent and sticking out in unnatural directions, but that was fixed with some coaxing (just gently push them where you want them and hold them there for a bit).

I found that the back of the pot and the base of the tree were rather ugly (in my opinion), so I put the ornament as deep into the sand as possible. Cuts down on the height but it looks great.
