Laguna Pressure-Flo Replacement Foam Kit for Pressure-Flo 3200 UVC Filter - 5-Pack

These are top quality filters that when used in conjunction with an ultra violet light remove a great precentage of the algae present in a pond. The porous nature of the filter creates many "pockets" for the dead algae to be collected and kept from returning to the water.

I purchased this on Tuesday and received it on Monday. Bought it to have in reserve for when the original filter needs to be replaced. I read many reviews before purchasing the Laguna filter and felt it had the best rating. I may get to keep this in reserve for awhile if my system works as well as the reviews I read. Pleased with this seller and will purchase from them again.

Hydor Deco Statue of Liberty Monument Collection Aquarium Ornament Kit with Ario 2 Color Mix Red, W

Well, this is a nice looking product. Unfortunately, the Statue has cracked off the base after just 4 months. Had to glue it back, but now the light green paint on Lady Liberty is wearing off. In all, GREAT aerator for my tank but work needs to be done on the curing process of the decoration.

The bubbler on this unit lasted two months and quit. The statue and the lighting are nice but useless without the bubbler.

Hydor ETH 300 In-Line External Heater 300w 5/8" hose

I purchased this to replace a submersible heater that was overheating the tank despite the lowest setting. Right away, I could tell that the Hydor was well constructed and made from much better materials than any other heater I have ever used. The installation instructions were a bit vague, but its not a very complicated system. Once I got it going, I was very impressed! It does keep the temperature very even and consistent according to the setting. It's also nice since its hidden away behind the stand completely out of sight. One less piece of equipment in the tank! Well worth the extra price.

*UPDATE Demoted this to two stars. It had been keeping temperature pretty consistent for weeks, but today I went down to find all my fish were dead. The temperature had gone up to 102 degrees without warning. I checked the heater and the setting hadn't changed. I'm checking to see what kind of warranty is offered!

*UPDATE Hydor did honor the warranty and replace this product. Unfortunately, I noticed a temperature spike once again with the replacement. This time I did manage to catch it before it killed any more fish. While this item heats very well, the thermostat is COMPLETELY useless and unreliable. One commenter on this review suggested using a separate thermostat (Hydroset was the recommendation) which I think is exactly what I need.

I am a long time fish keeper now specializing in discus. I have owned just about every brand of heater in my over thirty years in the hobby. No heater I have even owned is comparable to this one. It is quite simply far better than any other aquarium heater. Easy to set, accurate, holds temperatures extremely stable. It must be used with a canister filter which I notice the Informational Blurb does not include, but if you run a canister filter on your aquarium this is the one to own.

This ETH-300 has been working great for almost a year now. I have it hooked up to the Hydroset thermostat in my 90g male Peacock Cichlid tank. Its plumped inline to my Fluval FX5 using some 1" x 5/8" barbs. It keeps my tanks temp steady at 79°, every once in a while I'll set it to 80°. I love the digital display.

Nothing else to say...it works and works well. Just make sure you get a thermostat to hook the heater up to just just as added protection in case of a heater failure.

I installed this heater on a new 75G saltwater tank. Water was about 68deg when I started and it only took about 8 or 9 hours to get the tank to 78deg. I have a very good digital thermometer and this heater keeps the tank +/.3degs from target temp. Great heater and a good value.

I get tired of looking at glass heaters taking up room in my fish tank or having to wipe the glass off or having to worry about larger fish breaking the glass. I found this product at a local pet store and amazon had the lowest price. It is easy to install inline with the filter and is super reliable and easy to adjust. I never have to look at a heater inside my tank again and cleaning is easy. To clean you can just use a took brush or the larger pipe cleaners. I highly recommend this heater for any fish tank.

Spectrastone Special Black Aquarium Gravel for Freshwater Aquariums, 25-Pound Bag

The product is as expected for Black Aquarium Gravel. However, this is NOT 2/25 lb bags as in the name/description, but rather 1, 25lb bag. I know, I should have known the price was too good to be true. Came sooner than expected, but was disappointed that I had to order another bag in order to finish my aquarium.

ALSO... it is MUCH cheaper to order from the seller directly, at ozbo.com!

Works good in my canister filter. I normally double up on the recommended filter and my tanks water is typically crystal clear.

biOrb Life Aquarium

I bought two biorb aquariums, the Life 60 (16 gallon) and the Life 30 (8 gallon) 4 months ago and haven't had any problems (both are a freshwater setup). They look sharp and everyone notices them right away when they come over. The tanks come with ceramic media, filter, air pump w/ one way valve, air stone, and LED lighting. The amount of ceramic media that came with my tanks seemed low so I purchased more. If you are an experienced aquarists you should have no problems keeping fish in these tanks. I would consider both my tanks to be over stocked and in 4 months still have not lost a single fish. I have found replacement filters and air stones at all my local pet supply stores. The supplied air pumps have big rubber feet and don't make much noise. The LED lighting is amazing and gives you half a dozen setup options. I use the 14 hour day setting, it gives you 12 hours of full day light with an hour sunrise transition and hour sunset transition then 10 hours of moonlight. The top of the tank has two small holes, one is for feeding and I also use it when obtaining water sample with a pipette, the other is a small notch at the back that I use to pass the power cable for my heater and the cable for my digital thermometer through.

UPDATE (1 Year): Just wanted to quickly update my experience with these tanks. It has been a year since I bought them and my fish are healthy and still no loses. I am still using the supplied air pumps with out any noise problems. If you are careful you shouldn't have to worry about scratching the acrylic, my tanks still look as good as the day I bought them. Only drawbacks are the small feeding holes and you can only get one hand/arm through the top of the tanks when setting up and cleaning, this can make it difficult when trying to reach the bottom of the 16 gallon tank because of how tall it is.

I have had this this fish-tank (the 8gal Bio Life) for a few weeks now.

I added the ceramic media, and conditioned the water with Stress Coat and Stress Zyme, Installed the filter which was a breeze! and let it run without fish for over a week so the tank could settle.

I also made sure that the temperature was stable for the fish that I wanted to keep. I live in Jamaica, where it is mostly warm, but we have a air-conditioner in the living room where the tank is so it can get a bit cooler than normal.

All other water parameters were good, meaning Ammonia, PH, Nitrate, and Nitrite Levels were all good.

Now it was time to add the fish, Not to overload the tank, I am starting out with a group of 4 Neon Tetras (I will add 4 more in a month to make it a school). I know they are not the recommended starter fish for a New Tank, but I thought I would give it go seeing that all tested conditions were good.

I have to say I was a bit worried at first with all the information on the Net saying how hard Tetras were, and that you definitely need a heater etc. etc., I has been over a week, and I am glad to say that my fish seem very happy, and tank is doing fine! and without a heater. I even grew some brine shrimp to give them a treat, and they ate them readily!

I really love this tank it is not only beautiful to look at, it is so convenient in every way! Here are my Likes and Dislikes:

Likes:

Beautiful A Work of Art

Convenient Adequate Filter System So Far

Convenient Feeding Hole.

LED Lighting to mimic real light situations and saves energy.

It's Acrylic which is stronger than glass! Also, not many people realize, but Acrylic does not Conduct the Outside Temperature to the Water inside the tank very readily because Acrylic is a poor heat/cold conductor. So it keeps your water at a more stable temperature than a glass one. (see for yourself, place ice inside a glass, and place some in a plastic cup which one can you feel more cold on the outside? The Glass of course.

Comes Complete with almost everything that you will need to start (You will still need a Net, a fish tank water changer/cleaner, and more fish food and water conditioners, and replacement media)

Note: To save on buying replacement filters, buy just one more Replacement Bio-filter, and some Bulk Activated Carbon Pellets, and Some Diamond Blend or other Ammonia Removing Product. So when you need to change the filter you can, rinse the sponge filter in some of the tank water removed (not to kill the good bacteria), and replace the carbon and ammonia stones with what you bought, and you can vary the amount of each depending on your tank conditions.

Dislikes:

LED Light should have a 24HR Moonlight setting

Could have a diverter air valve inside so that you can connect other air stones, etc, without having to push an air line through the top.

Overall I really like this tank, and thinking of buying the 16gal.

I will followup this review, as I have the tank longer if anything out of the ordinary happens.

Buy biOrb Life Aquarium Now

After purchasing the biUbe 9 gallon aquarium for a bedroom (and loving it) here on amazon.com, we decided to get the biOrb Life 60 for our living room. I would say it's an in between tank (better than those little Sponge Bob tanks but not as good as a regular 20 or more gallon tank with optional filtration). The upright design makes it a perfect addition due to limited amount of space. We set it up as a small freshwater tropical tank for some Glofish. It fits nicely in the corner and is the first thing you notice when you walk into the room.

The tank comes with everything you need to set it up. If done correctly, it makes a beautiful aquarium for our small tropical fish. I like the upright design of the tank and the fact that it is flat (as opposed to the biUbe which is round and distorts my fish) so you can see the fish clearly.

Pros:

Nice upright design for those looking to save space and can't fit a long rectangular aquarium.

Comes with everything you need to get started. Directions are clear to follow.

The light is nice and bright just like the fluorescents you see in those nice big tanks.

Cons:

Overpriced. I brought mine on sale, and though I love the look of the tank, I think they are way overpriced.

The air pump that comes with the tank makes a buzzing noise and doesn't last long. I use mine as a spare and purchase a Rena 100.

It's acrylic which maybe stronger than glass, but scratches very easily, so be careful when maintaining.

There is a limited amount and types of fish you can keep in these.

So basically, if you have the room to fit a big tank in your house, than get a bigger cheaper one (the bigger the tank, the easier it is to maintain). But if you are like me and don't have a lot of space and would like to keep a small amount of fish in a designer aquarium, than the biOrb Life is right for you.

UPDATE: After having the tank for a couple of months I wanted to update my experience with this tank. The one complaint I have is the top of the tank. The opening is a bit small which makes it a little hard to do regular maintenance and leaves little room for any added filters and such (the little opening in the light fixture is just big enough to fit the cord from the heater). I added an internal filter for some extra filtration because I like to over filter my tanks, so my light fixture doesn't fit perfectly in the opening due to the extra cord coming out of the tank (no big deal though). Also, because of how deep the tank is, I find siphoning the bottom to be somewhat difficult. This is something I can deal with. Other than that, so far so good.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS TANK. Save yourself some grief. We lost so many of our beloved fish in this tank and we're experienced fish keepers.

This review is for the 16 gallon tank but, I'm pretty sure it applies to the other sizes.

Pros:

Great looking tank. That's it.

Cons:

Inadequate filter system

Inadequate lighting system

No additional filters, lighting or feeders in the market that are made specifically for this type of tank

Very difficult to balance the tank due to all of the above

Our experience:

Plants wither and die.

Fish are unhappy and we lost a lot of fish due to difficulty in balancing tank.

We bought a standard tank and transferred the other fish and they are thriving in that tank. The standard tank has been low maintenance and the fish and plants are thriving.

Marina Betta Kit Ornament

It seems that these aquarium ornaments are made for people to look at and not for fish to live with. There were so many sharp, jagged little areas on this ornament that I ended up having to extensively sand it just to get rid of those areas because I was afraid of what would happen to a fish that swam too close the wrong way or too quickly. Well, the snails have something else to crawl on at least.

The Marina Betta Kit Rock Ornament not only looks great in the tank, it also functions as a small playground for your betta. It's more fun than having just rocks or sand in the bottom of the tank. This allows them to swim around, over, and through the rock formation. I've purchased two of these, one for each of my betta tanks. They love the rock ornament. Also, it is very easy to clean. Run warm water over it, wipe off any algae growth off with a towel/paper towel, and place it back into the tank...whenever you do a water change.

Buy Marina Betta Kit Ornament Now

Fits nicely in the tank. A little loose but nothing terrible. I had purchased this because the gravel and stones that come with the tank can be a hand full to take out and clean. I usually end up losing several pieces of gravel and make a mess. With this i don't need the gravel any more. Just pull out the decoration, making cleaning a snap. Also the archway provides a nice little hutch that my fish seems to enjoy sitting in. Also he will lay on the tiered sections on the top. Since my fish is getting some functional use out of the decoration i'm glad i decided to go with this one instead of some the others.

I bought this specifically because it looked smooth and not made out of some "lava-rock" stuff like a lot of aquarium ornaments. It is made out of that lava-rock stuff. It comes with the rocks glued into it. it is not a dark marble color as the picture shows. It is more of a flat gray color with a few streaks of dark gray. I do like the design, however. and it has hidden holes under the rocks to prevent air bubbles from being trapped in it.

These plants are great but are too big for the Baby Biorbs. It says so on the packaging; wish it had been in the product description.

Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls up to 5 gal

Great heater, easy to hide, very reasonable priced. If you have a small tank this is the way to go. I have a 1.5 gallon tank for my betta and its keeping temp at 76-78...he's happy as can be!

I was a little afraid about getting this heater due to some of the poor reviews, but I've had it for over 2 weeks now and so far it works just fine. I know most heaters require circulation via filter to work properly, I wonder if that was some people's problem? It was a fair price, hides easily under gravel, and keeps my 1.8 gallon betta tank around 80 degrees at all time. My betta seems much happier since I got it. Would recommend!

Buy Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls up to 5 gal Now

I have a small 1.5 gallon Betta tank which I needed a heater for but most heaters are way too powerful for such a small tank. This heater is excellent it only raises the temperature 5 to 10 degrees which is perfect for this size tank. So in the winter when my home temperature is 68 the heater will raise the temperature at a maximum 10 degress which brings the temperature to 78. You can also bury it under the gravel so it remains hidden. Would highly recommend this heater.

Read Best Reviews of Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls up to 5 gal Here

I have a one gallon fish bowl and there arent really any heaters made for that size. So because this heater is made for heating tanks up to several gallons, the water temperature of bowl needs to be monitored at all times if using a bowl as small as mine. Otherwise the water will get too hot for your fish. I usually plug mine in in the morning for a bit and then take it out when the temp is around 80, and I plug it in a bit before I go to bed and unplug it for overnight.

Want Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls up to 5 gal Discount?

This works well for a 3 gallon half-moon and keep it at 78 in a 72 degree room.....I read a lot of reviews on here, but never could get this information specifically,so I am putting it here for others. Fits nicely under the gravel. Fish a bit afraid, but it does the job. I also cleared a little gravel away from the top of it so it helps radiate more heat. Heavy, thick gravel may make it function a little lighter, in my opinion, but you can assemble a safe pile of gravel on top.

Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank AC 220-240-Volt 2-Watt Submersible Air Pump

I bought this kind of pump via eBay and it pulled my fish inside and killed it. I was wondering how my 2 fish turned into powder overnight and realized the truth when I saw my 3rd fish die. The only way this can be used as a pump in fish tanks is by turning the mouth of this pump away from where fish could reach.

Penn Plax Aqua Life LED Light

Real pleased with this small aquarium led light. Purchased for a 2.7 rimless gallon glass aquarium for my betta. The aquarium didn't come with a light and after searching found this light fit my needs. The only thing with this light is that it does not have an on and off switch, but I have several tanks and use digital timers for all my lights. The clip on is very strudy and strong and the led lights are bright. I believe there are 9 led lights total. For the reasonable price it is worth the purchase if you already have timers, if not you will need to plug and unplug to turn the light on and off. Again a nice little led light for very small aquariums.

I bought this product from Amazon.com few weeks ago and the result came out to be the "most" flexable LED Clip-On for my aquarium tank. I have 5 Gal Tank and it is used for nursey of my two Black Convict Cichlid. It is the best light for my tank and I thank Penn Plax for making such a bright LED light.

PondCare 140D Stress Coat, 64-Ounce

I have a 100 gallon brackish water tank that contains an ornate diamond back terrapin. I have to change the water frequently and needed a good deal on water treatment products. I appreciate being able to buy in bulk and love the PondCare products! Ozbo delivered the product as promised. I am 100% satisfied!

When we first built our pond, we were noticing our fish getting sores on their bodies. Several fish ended up dying. Stress Coat was recommended and I have been very pleased with the results. Every time I add water to the pond I add some Stress Coat according to package directions. I really notice the improved health with my fish. I only need to use Algae Fix and Stress Coat in the pond to keep it clean and clear. Both must be working since my fish seem to be thriving.

I did have an issue with the transformer getting wet and shorting out, but Laguna was very helpful and sent a replacement set. My favorite part is the light sensorit is an incredible sight at dusk to see my waterfall lit up! They are pricey but well worth the extra dough.

Marina Style Aquarium Kit

I bought this as an upgrade for my betta fish. I've had a 1.5 gallon for a while, but wanted something a bit bigger.

Pro:

-This unit has a nice foot print. It doesn't take up a ridiculous amount of counterspace.

-The filter is very impressive compared to other tanks I've seen. The flow is adjustable, from very gentle to rather aggressive.

-The filter is also rather quiet. Unlike my other tank, this one doesn't need an overly aggressive airrated to vibrate and make all kinds of noise.

-The lid and glass both seem to be of high quality. The opening section of the lid is sturdy and there are no scratches or bubbles in the glass.

Con:

-I'm not a huge fan of the light. This one comes with incandescent lighting, but I prefer my last tank's LED.

-The filter is a universal model. It has the ability to attach to far larger tanks, so it sits on there kind of awkwardly. I used a small piece of cardboard folded over (the box the bulb came in) on the outside of the tank to make it a little bit more stable. I don't see it at all and it works better than the space included.

Overall this is a great tank for a small room, like a dorm or kids room. If you have the space I would recommend something bigger, but for the right task this is a perfect kit.

My girlfriend and I are both new to taking car of fish (we have a single small gold fish). This tank was a decent price and seems to be working just fine. It has no leaks, and is perfect for us since it comes with instructions on how to take care of the fish. The filters are really easy to change and the fish has a lot of space to swim around in. The primary thing I was worried about was the filter's suction, but it seems to be very gentle so the fish does not get caught in it.

Update: It has been a over a year and still no issues with leaks, or the pump. The only very minor annoyance is that sometimes the lid to the filter changer vibrates. But it is easy to solve. Other than that no complaints about this tank. It is also very nice that the replacement filters are relatively cheap on amazon.

Mine has now been set up for about three months. It's been a great way to get into the hobbyeverything that it comes with is good quality and works great. My fish like the food, the LCD thermometer is great, and the tank looks pretty decent. I have one betta, four cardinal tetra, two nerite snails, and about 10 live plants in mine and the filter keeps up just fine (I just do water changes once a month). Depending on the fish you choose, you may need a thermometer, but they are available cheap. Ask your fish store when you buy your fish.

The only weak point is the light. Incandescent bulbs are obsolete, produce a bad color light, and run hot and waste electricity.

**Here's my tip: buy a low wattage compact fluorescent bulb--available from Amazon, big box stores, home improvement stores, even grocery stores--and pop it in. Look for 10 or 13 watts, and make sure the color temperature is "daylight" (6700K)and not "soft white" (2700K or similar). It makes a world of difference. Here's a great option, just add it to your cart: GE Lighting 89082 Energy Smart 10-Watt Daylight Spiral Compact Fluorescent Bulb

A $5 CFL bulb will bring this kit into the 21st century and you'll be amazed how good the tank and its inhabitants will look! Plus, plants love the extra light.

Summary: buy this kit and then replace the bulb immediately. Then just enjoy.

Dymax IQ3 Acrylic Aquarium - Black

I read mixed reviews so I thought I would share my experience. I've had the tank up and running for a week and I'm very happy. It's a salt water tank. I just put a damsel in to help cycle the tank. In a couple weeks I'm going to add some mushrooms. The key is to do a simple water change once a week and make sure you add carbon and Rowa every so often to absorb any toxins. The LED is functioning properly and the filtration is excellent so far. I'd rather have faster moving water rather than an under powered pump. If anything breaks or burns out prematurely I will update my review. Thanks for reading :)

JBJ 24 Gallon Nano-Cube Deluxe Aquarium 2X36W Compact Fluorescents & LED Moonlights

I've purchased two of these over the course of 7 years. I replaced the first one I had after 6 years because the remote ballast died and it was more economical to buy a new tank than just a new hood. (JBJ swapped ballasts after some time which required a purchase of both the ballast and hood for older tanks.)

For a saltwater setup, this all-in-one tank is great. You can find third-party nano accessories (protein skimmer, uv light, etc.) and the lighting configuration makes for a bright, beautiful display. I've had zero leakage problems with both my original saltwater tank and the new replacement freshwater setup. The reason I knocked off a star is because replacement parts for the unit (light bulbs, pumps, and if necessary hoods), are not cheap. The good news is that it is unlikely you will have to replace these for some time.

If you're just starting out or are experienced and want a clean nano setup, this is a great tank. Highly recommend.

Edit: Note that if you want to use this tank for freshwater setups, you should swap the bulbs out for something with less intensity, like LED striplights.
