Generic Foam Filters Suitable For Fluval FX5 x 12 PK

Generic Foam Filters Suitable For Fluval FX5 x 12 PKTook a while to receive these, I probably didn't read carefully enough and was focusing on price, but they came from China.

I know that on eBay if shipping is free, that makes one look to a based in China seller. Of course, everything about eBay is pathetic.

My FX5 APPEARS to be

running more sluggishly since I changed ALL the foam filter media in it during a regular cleaning. On the assumption that they're

non-toxic, and not clogging up my filter, I wouldn't give them a bad review. But really, what's to review besides clear water.

They're cheap. They're definitely not original equipment from the Fluval factory, that you know as soon as you handle them.

I'd say that either you want to save money, or be sure that you're getting name brand products. I went with cheap this time.

My livebearers have given birth twice since I put them in. I've had no fish losses. How bad can the water be!

Let's go with a B-, so I'll give 4 stars just because they aren't as good as the originals, but then again I can't afford the

real ones!!

Tetra Extension Tube for Whisper 30 and 40 Filters

Tetra Extension Tube for Whisper 30 and 40 FiltersI purchased this extension hoping to extend the filter tube however when I tried to put it on my existing filter Whisper 20 system, the tube was larger than the existing one and would not fit

Each section fit into the existing 30 Top Fin I have without problems. I also have a 20 Top Fin. Top Fin is sold by Pet Smart and appears very similar to Whisper pumps. A point to remember is this tube does not fit the 20 model. The 20 has a smaller tube. Apparently, the 20 does not have an available extension and comes with a tube length too close to the discharge in my opinion. Both pumps work better, also in my opinion, with the tube inlet closer to the tank bottom. I bought aquarium silicon sealer and glued this tube between the 20 tube and intake section, let dry 24 hours, and have cleaner clearer 20 and 30 gallon aquariums.

Looked around for an extension, since I bought a deep 60 gallon hexagonal tank, you need a longer extension for the intake to get down into the tank for better filtration. I wish power filter companies would automatically include a long extension, especially since it wouldnt cost that much to include it anyway, but thank goodness you can get it here, on Amazon.

In the description it says that the tube will also fit 10-20 Whisper models. All LIES because it didn't fit at all! I was so happy because I looked everywhere and couldn't find this extension tube. When I saw it online I decided to spend the extra money to have it. Now I have a worthless $8.00 piece of plastic. Save your money if you don't have a 30 model!

took a gamble and bought is tube to be used as extension on my Fluval Edge tank in order to extend the filter tube deeper into the tank bottom. with a little effort, it fitted perfectly on the filter and had been working since.

SpongeBob SquarePants® Bikini Bottom® Aquarium Ornaments

Penn Plax Spongebob's Pineapple Home OrnamentI bought this item to place in my 20g tank.

The quality of the manufacturing isn't ideal, and the product can certainly harm your fish. The harm would come from the areas around where the door and window openings are formed into the body, as well as the rim around the bottom... In all those areas, the material seems to have been cut with a hot knife or some other type of thermal cutting tool, sharp plastic slag and edges on the interior where fish (especially if they have flowing fins like Bettas or goldfish) can harm themselves either by shredding the fins or damaging scales.....

I used fine sandpaper and steelwool to polish the sharp edges, and after a through cleaning placed the house into my tank.

the house looks good in the tank with a sand bottom.... but, there will be some modification you will have to do since this product is obviously mass produced with little attention to final quality.

I was out Christmas shopping for my four bettas when I came across the Spongebob Squarepants pineapple house. I couldn't help myself but buy if for my female crowntail betta fish Syn. Syn loves it. The size of the windows are a perfect size. Syn swims through the holes with ease. She also likes to rest in it. I think it was well worth the $10 I spent on it.

Bought 2 pineapple houses for my two beta fish. They love it! They swim in and out of the windows and doors all the time. Then they will swim half way through a window and park there. I love watching them do this. If you love your fish, get them a pineapple house of their own.

this is probably my favorite part of my aquarium. i have spongebob, his house, squidward, his house, and a plankton right in the middle. both are shaped and sized good to allow fish easy access. my black ghost knife fish can even go through the windows. the one you need to stay away from is the krusty krab. waaaaay too small, and the sizes listed on amazon are completely off.

this is the cutest damn thing i have ever seen for an aquarium! i bought it and the squidward house for my ten gallon, with some colorful plants, and it is so flippin adorable. it's about the size of a miniature, well, pineapple, or maybe a large apple/grapefruit. it is perfect, my fish love it, and it is a beautiful yellow orange that totally brings my tank to life. you will love it, best price out there for it too. counting the doorway there are six openings for fish to swim in and out. i have a betta and platies, and they are in bikini bottom heaven.

some guy wrote a negative review either for this or the squidward house....saying his cat got into the tank and drowned because he couldn't get his head out of the doorways....a) WTF is your cat doing in your aquarium, and b) what alternate universe do you live in, the doorway is MAYBE two inches. i've had GPS screens bigger than this. so, don't listen!! it's obviously spam or someone with way too much time on his hands.

All Glass Aquarium AAG29020 Versa Top, 20-Inch

All Glass Aquarium AAG29020 Versa Top, 20-InchOk, just to set something straight, aquarium hoods ARE NOT measured by how many gallons the tank holds. Many reviewers are confusing this fact. Aquarium hoods are and always have been measured in inches. Just because it says 20 in the product description does NOT mean this will fit on a 20 gallon tank. It does however imply that the hood WILL fit on a tank that is 20" long. As all aquarium enthusiasts know, all 10, 20, 40, 55, etc etc tanks are not created equal. There are 20 gallon standard tanks, and then there are 20 gallon tall tanks, and of course the 20 gallon long tanks. This is true of pretty much all tanks where there are standard, tall, and long versions. I wont even get into the other variations such as bow-front and hex tanks, my point being is that yes the description of the product says 20, however 99.99% of the time that number will always refer to the length of the hood in inches and not the amount of gallons the tank holds.

As another reviewer mentioned the hood is 19.5" long, which means it will fit a standard 20" x 10" framed tank perfectly.

This is much better than the plastic one my aquarium came with. It is lightweight, easy to clean, I have not noticed any water evaporation ever since I installed this, and I can customize the back where the filters, etc., are stored using only a scissor. I definitely recommend this for anyone to use.

I really needed something that didn't cost a fortune and that would keep out our cat, this product worked great!

I just got this item and did not have to cut anything out! Finally I can turn on my air pump without letting the air bubbles damage my lamp.

Wonderfully fits my aquarium, very happy with it!

This top works great. The back section is a little flexible if you're not using HOB filters and you can generally squeeze a couple power cables and an airline under the back. If you need to cut it, you can do that as well, but these are great, especially for the jumpers

RockGarden Mini Sculptured Lava Rock

RockGarden Mini Sculptured Lava RockItem arrived broken inside the box. Maybe you guys will have better luck. I did not want to hassle with returning the item so it is sitting in my tank.. the fish seem to like it just fine. Quality of the product is very good if you receive it in one piece.

Cal Pump PW4500 Direct Drive 4500 GPH Waterfall Pump

Cal Pump PW4500 Direct Drive 4500 GPH Waterfall PumpAlthough I would have liked delivery quicker, it worked out. Installation was accomplished and the output is at or greater than I expected.

This is the best pump we have purchased so far. It has great water flow and makes our waterfall look great in the pond. It has enough power to make watersound effects, as well! Finally our waterfall sounds like a waterfall! Perfect!

Bought one of these in July 2007 off the world's most famous auction site. Superb performance in often leafand debris-filled koi pond, even when only 3 inches under ice. Finally petering out, but I paid $138.99 (including shipping) so I feel I got my money's worth for sure!

This is the second one I've bought. The first one lasted 2+ years. This one lasted less than 2 months. Both failed due to water leaking into the motor and causing the CFI to trip. Time to find a more reliable replacement....

I sent them an email inquiring as to the shipment. They actually expedited it to get my waterfall running again before an upcoming party. My last pump worked for five years without an issue...same model. Hope this one does as well.

SODIAL(TM) Aquarium/Fish Tank Water Submersible Waterproof Digital LCD Thermometer

SODIAL(TM) Aquarium/Fish Tank Water Submersible Waterproof Digital LCD ThermometerI used this thermometer for one month without any problems or the accuracy issue that has been reported by other reviews. When I checked the temperature one morning I discovered that it had flooded breaking the thermometer. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Works great. Got this stuck to the right side of my aquarium and displays the temp accurately. Will highly recommend this.

I have three thermometers in my big tank. This one is almost 4 to 5 degrees higher (over 10 degrees higher in Fahrenheit) than the others even when placed side by side. I also bought the SODIAL(TM) Digital LCD Fish Aquarium Marine Vivarium Thermometer in the same package, as I wasn't sure which I would like better for looks. That thermometric was in line with my traditional thermometers. Get that one.

As an added plus, that one has a Fahrenheit option. This one is Celsius only. That in itself wasn't a problem, just thought I'd point it out.

Vibran-Sea Broad Leaf Marsh Grass Silk-Style Aquarium Plant, Medium 9-10 tall, Green

Vibran-Sea Broad Leaf Marsh Grass Silk-Style Aquarium Plant, Medium 9-10 tall, GreenOverall I like this grassy type stuff. I think it looks fairly realistic and is a nice addition to my tank. The leaves are a little stiff though. They don't float around quite the way I had hoped. The base is also sort of ugly (though does a good job keeping it anchored). If it's not covered fully by your sand/gravel it's going to stick out and look funny.

This ornament is fine. It's lasted for two years in my small guppy tank, and cleans easily with just a rinse in warm water. I'm not giving it five stars because its an aquarium ornnament for goodness' sake!
