Deep Blue Rechargable Battery Air Pump

Deep Blue Rechargable Battery Air PumpThere is no indication of output, but I have several pumps, and this is by far the weakest. It might do in a pinch, but should not be your primary.

This product could very well be a 5 star. I have only used it once, when I went out of town for 5 days, and I was not disappointed. I have tested it a few times, and it has not failed to kick in. I have not left it on for a month continuously, and that will be the true test, but so far, I am very pleased.

I live in a hurricane zone, and this is the time to be prepared, and having this product is a must.

Pressurized Filter UV Lite

Fish Mate 13 Watt UV LampAlgae was overtaking my pond thanks for having a replacement lamp in stock and delivering it in record time. My fish and I thank you.

Received the unit on time but the UV lamp was defective upon arrival. Mfgr replaced bulb at NC but the unit just can't seem to keep up with the algae. I have to use chemicals in addition to unit which defeats the purpose. Unit might be OK for a small aquarium but not a pond!

This product definitely fits the Fishmate pressurized filter. I have the one with Powerclenz and it is an awesome filter. My original bulb lasted over three years and then it blew out. This fit perfectly and is performing exactly as designed!

I got this as a replacement bulb for my Alan t300 air filter. It fits perfectly and lasts longer than the OEM one.

U.P. Aqua Super Atomizer (large)

U.P. Aqua Super AtomizerI bought this product for use with my pressurized CO2 system. First off, this atomizer requires a lot of pressure. The first day it fizzed perfectly and I was very happy with it. The next day it was fizzing about half as much as the first day and required more pressure. By the third day, it was no longer fizzing even with increased pressure high enough to start ballooning the CO2 tubing. I ordered this product twice and the same thing happened both times in the same amount of time. I was hoping that it was originally a defective product on the first one but that doesn't appear to be the case. I would NOT recommend buying this product.

Based on the previous reviews I purchased this atomizer in early April 2012 to replace and old Aquatek 3 in 1 diffuser installed in a CO2 pressurized system @ ±35 psi and it did not ouput as many fine bubbles as supposed to, first it took a very long time to start outputting bubbles, finally when the bubbles started to flow, they were big, like out of an air stone, thus not fully dissolving in the water column.

If you purchase this atomizer, I hope you get a non defective one since this has 5 star reviews.

And last but not least, Thank you Amazon for allowing me to return this item.

The diffuser produces a lot of medium and large bubbles instead of a fine mist of tiny, barely visible bubbles. The bubbles from this type of diffuser are supposed to be so tiny that they are hard to see individually and instead form a "mist". As you can see from the video it is not the case of this diffuser.

I replaced a "classic" CO2 diffuser (the type with a horizontal ceramic disk mounted in glass) with this one for my 125l aquarium. CO2 concentration dropped from 30 ppm to 16 ppm within 2 hours (I am measuring CO2 precisely with a professional device).

A good product in this category is the Green Leaf Aquariums Atomic Co2 Diffuser II (unfortunately Amazon doesn't carry it, look it up on youtube to see how it is supposed to work).

This product may be cheap but it will waste your CO2 and thus it will be more expensive in the long term.

I have a couple of these. One still works great, but the other developed a leak and now functions less than favorably by comparison. When they work, they're probably the best in terms of dissolving CO2 into the water column. I use a pressurized CO2 system FYI

Want U.P. Aqua Super Atomizer (large) Discount?

This atomizer requires very high working pressure. It didn't get a decent flow rate until I got up to 50 PSI which is way too high for an aquarium setup, in fact my pressure relief valve trips at 51 PSI.

Would not recommend.

Marina Aquarium Showcase Bulb, 15-Watt, 120-Volt, Clear

Marina Aquarium Showcase Bulb, 15-Watt, 120-Volt, ClearIn addition to an array of aquariums ranging from 55 gallons and up we keep our Betta in an Aqueon 5 gallon Bow Front.

When the bulb went out, I headed to the local pet store to pick up a replacement no dice, they don't carry them.

Then to both Petco and Petsmart again no dice they don't carry these but both suggested to try Home depot.

So off to Home Depot they carry this size bulb but the lowest wattage is 25 which would throw off far to much heat. I bought one anyway to give poor "Gill" a little much needed light.

But in twenty minutes the temperature, as expected began to rise.

I don't know why I didn't check Amazon to begin with after all we buy virtually everything else here. In fact out of my 120 reviews I would guess 40% are devoted to dog and aquarium supplies go figure.

Sure enough, here they are on Amazon for a mere $3.99 plus with my Prime membership they were shipped via free two day shipping.

The bulbs arrived in perfect condition and are shipped carefully and fast, I purchased a few just to have replacements on hand and considering how difficult these are to find, you'll most likely want to do the same.

Eshopps RS-75 Reef Sump - Up to 75 gallons - 18 in. x 10 in. x 16 in.The eshopps sump is way over priced at retail or even most internet prices, but at 117.99 (with 19.99 for shipping)and the fact that it can fit into a 24 inch (60 gallon cube)stand while also having a big enough area for a larger skimmer makes it a good buy for smaller tank stands.

NEEWER® Digital LCD Fish Aquarium Water Thermometer

NEEWER® Digital LCD Fish Aquarium Water ThermometerIt does the job but that's it. It is what is says it is but if you prefer Fahrenheit then look elsewhere. There is no way to attach it to tank but it is easy enough to buy some Velcro and stick it on. I would have bought another one had I known upfront it was Celsius only.

For less than $4, can't beat it. Reads within 1 degree of other temperature monitors that I have. Keep in mind that it reads In CELSIUS only.

SeaClear Bowfront Aquarium Combo

SeaClear Bowfront Aquarium ComboLook nice..I don't have to worry about leaks and the seams(there are none)..a little difficult to access the inside as the openings are narrow on the top...feeding time requires a very small hand to reach in the back slot/opening..or one must remove the kighting and cover to access the tank...also, a disappointment that a BULB was not included for the light(yes, it was mentioned in description of tank)..Overall, it is an ok product. Looks nice.

While this is a nice tank, it should be noted that the description of product does not note that the color of backside of aquarium is CLEAR (not black as is shown in picture) nor does it state the actual gallon size (46 gallons) thus the three stars. Other than the description issues, nice tank all round.

July 30, 2013 Update: After contacting the seller regarding this issue, they understand that the description / photo needs to be updated. To make up for my disappointment in that the back wasn't black, they issued a gift card towards the purchase of a background that I can put on the backside. Also, the tank was to arrive in 2-3 weeks however, it was very much a surprise when it was delivered in just one week!

Since the seller responded back quickly, efficiently, and offered a gift card (not to mention the fast arrival of the tank being delivered!), I have thus updated my rating from 3-stars to 5-stars.

I am looking forward to putting my tank up this weekend and once it is fully operational with decor, plants, and fish will post a picture.

UMM... where is the size!?! this is extremely aggravating to me that there is no size gallon wise or even dimensions! Not only for just this tank but every single freaking tank or even product from stupid petco!

Vibran-Sea Amazon Flowering Cluster Aquarium Plant Assortment

Vibran-Sea Amazon Flowering Cluster Aquarium Plant AssortmentI purchased these recently for my Betta tanks and I'm very happy with them. The colors are nice and vibrant and the material is soft. One warning though: if using it with Bettas or fish with delicate fins, make sure to take off those hard plastic "branches". They will snag your fish's fins. This has happened to me in the past with similar plants, so I always take that part off so that the fabric part is just remaining.

EcoPlus Submersible Pump - 633 gph

EcoPlus Submersible Pump - 633 gphI used this in my 400 gallon pond. So far it has worked very well. its well built and has a removable filter in the housing which can be cleaned and reused. It also comes with these fittings, two-.75" Barbed x .75" Threaded, two-.5" Barbed x .75" Threaded, .75" Barbed x 1.25" Threaded and Nozzle x .75" Threaded. The Inlet is 1.25" NPT and the outlet is .75" NPT. The power cord is 120 volt and 175 inch. Max height is 7.8 feet and 594 GPH. It take 35 watts of power to run this pump.

So far so good I'll update my review if I experience any issues.

Not worth it in my opinion. Although I'm not sure that's what it was designed for. May have better longevity as a fish tank pump constantly running versus off and on for ebb and flow hydroponics? I dunno, but I'm going to purchase another pump.

Buy EcoPlus Submersible Pump - 633 gph Now

This pump replaced one of unknown GPH which was oil lubricated and had leaked into the fountain. I chose this pump because I wanted something that had high GPH for the watts consumed as I run my pump 24/7.

After several months its working great. I have it enclosed in a filter box and I chlorinate the pond to keep out algae. The output is good but not great, but since I have nothing to compare the 633gph to, I can't accurately comment. This is well suited for my 4' x 6' x 1.5' Deep pond and could easily handle double the size.

Seems like a well made product for the price.

The instructions mention a knob that will adjust the speed of flow, but there is no knob so this has only one speed.

Silicone 3 oz.

Silicone 3 oz.I got it in the mail. i repaired my fish tank. it did what it said. didnt leak or peel. sold my fish tank after it pased the test. this is some nice aquarium sealant.

So it says to apply it in a well ventilated area and wow they are not kidding. Seriously folks, use a fan or something. Not that it should come as a surprise, I'm just saying. Other than the overpowering odor, this stuff is awesome. Easy to apply, dried quickly and stays true.

JW Pet Company Aquarium Acrylic Scrubbing Pad

JW Pet Company Aquarium Acrylic Scrubbing PadA long time hobbyist of 35+ years it seems the battle against Algae is one that will rage on indefinitely. This scrubber is excellent. Thick and coarse spun nylon makes removal of both green and brown algae as effortless as it can be. The scrubber is perfect for the sides and bottom and equally effective in edges for corners and those hard to reach places.

Acrylic tanks are gorgeous but as you already know they scratch easily I've never had a problem using these, just always make sure to never use the pad on dry acrylic above the water line.

A few of my tanks get indirect sunlight so for those it's a weekly effort and I keep lots of these and the smaller single pads on hand, It's important especially if you keep a variety of different species in separate aquariums to avoid cross contamination and the Lee's line of scrubbers for both glass and acrylic are affordable enough for each tank to have a dedicated set.

Cross contamination has long been linked to toxic tank syndrome which can wipe out your tank in 24 hours, so best to have gear that's dedicated to one specific tank.
