TOM Aquarium Perch-Light Fixture 7W w/Compact Flo Lamp, 6400K D

This light is perfect for my small 3 gallon aquarium. It works perfectly with a light timer. The only complaint is that the bulb only lasted for about 1 month before blowing out. However, the bulb can be replaced unlike some of the LED lights available for small aquariums.

These are very nice lights. They fit on the tanks perfectly and after a month of use they are still in great shape. No burned out bulbs. I like how I can adjust them easily.

Two Little Fishies ATLNM1 Nanomag Window Clean Device

Will clean glass ok, but will take several passes, making it somewhat time consuming even for a nano tank. Works ok for my 5 gallon nano cube, but would not recommend for larger aquariums; it would take forever to clean a 10+ gallon. In the past I've used the twister magnets (large size for a 75 gal), and it cleaned much more efficiently, but that may be due to its larger surface area. Small size does let you get in behind driftwood, etc. If this product were more fairly priced, I'd probably rate it higher.

I bought this tiny magnet cleaner to clean the glass in my 2 gallon saltwater pico reef tank. It works great for getting into tight spaces between the live rock and the glass; in some places only about 1/4". It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. The magnets in it are very powerful, so it does a good job of scrubbing. The cleaning surface of scrubber looks like the hook side of Velcro. If you really want your glass to sparkle, you can put a small bit of filter material between the cleaner and the glass and get it spotless. I suspect it will last for a reasonable amount of time if you don't abuse it. I'm buying two more for my freshwater nano tanks. If you have a very small tank, this is one of the few small magnet cleaners that can get into really tight spaces. I like it.

having only one powerful magnet, the cleaner works very well, and does the job that you would buy it for. I am using mine in a 3 gallon tank. The reason i purchased this was to take off the water line,scrub algae, and not look so big in my tank as it only protrudes 1/4 inch into the display tank.

PROS:

small (easy to maneuver around decorations and filters etc... much less of an eyesore compared to magfloat brand)

powerful magnet (even works with the thick glass in my 75 gallon tank)

CONS:

small cleaning surface (since the cleaning component is made of soft foam square, the only surface area that is in contact with the glass is the circle of the magnet. I believe that this part of the design actually aids in moving the cleaning device around corners, however you cannot really get down deep into those 90 degree corners of your aquarium.)

the cleaning component sinks (this is the case because the magnet is so large that the buoyancy of the foam that it is set in cannot compensate for its weight. However the magnet is so powerful that if you manage to release the cleaning component into the tank within 3.5 inches of the glass, the device will form the union again and you will be able to continue cleaning, however be cautious, be sure to check that you did not pick up any grains of sand before you start to scrub away because that will scratch the inside of your aquarium)

Bottom line: If you have a nano sized tank, and you want to purchase a magnetic aquarium cleaner, I would recommend this product.

I got this for my 1.5 gallon pico reef. It works as advertised, even through thick 1/4" acrylic it will scrub algae right off. It's got a few downsides, though.

The first is cheap construction. It's made of cheap glued foam -the felt pad (on the outside half) and the velcro (on the inside half) and the logos separate and fall apart over the course of a few months. This process is hastened if you ever let the inside and outside halves stick to each other -you have to pry them apart which really strains the glue. Always store and handle the halves separately to prolong life.

Never store the cleaner under water (like on the corner of your tank). Once the glue layers failed on mine, the magnet inside started rusting and spewing a brown slime into my tank. Always store this item dry!

The next is the scratches. Maybe my tank has soft acrylic but if I shine a flashlight on it, I can see a haze of zillions of tiny scratches. If your tank is acrylic, I strongly recommend you get a piece of felt or fabric and stick it to the velcro pad of the inside half.

Finally, the corners. The inside pad only cleans where the round magnet is behind it, the square corners have no scrubbing power.

Still, it's great on tiny tanks for getting into the tight spaces where rocks and things are near the tank walls, so I went ahead and bought another one after my first one self-destructed. I just wish it were a little more durable -I'd happily pay double the price to get one that doesn't fall apart.

It does what it says (cleans algae) but I thought it would be solid. Be prepared for foam.

The inside foam mag has one thing going for it, its skinny so it can fit in really tight places (unlike a mag float). The downside it doesn't float if it releases from the main magnet.

Marineland Single Bright LED Lighting System

I have a number of freshwater planted 10 gallon tanks. I own both the Marineland Single Bright and the Double Bright models. While the double bright is in fact double the brightness, they are narrowly concentrated and the plant growth is affected by the placement of the plants directly below the LEDs. This is also a huge problem if you have any floating plants blocking certain LEDs from reaching the light below.

While a bit less bright, the Single Bright evenly covers the tank with behavior similar to a single T8 light. The plant growth for low light plants such as Java Moss and Java Fern can be kept without worrying about algae problems, especially if you "tape to block" the blue LEDs since there is not a separate switch to turn just the blue LEDs off. Because of the number of LEDs present, the floating plants or placement of the plants are much more forgiving than the Double Bright model.

While the light works fine on black substrate, my recommendation is to go with natural or "whiter" substrate to allow the light reflections to help spread the coverage.

Lastly, the power adapter is detachable at the cord that plugs in right next to the on/off switch. This is very convenient since the light can be quickly unplugged and moved out of the way. The Double Bright has the cord permanently attached, so moving the light is not as easy.

Strongly recommended for anyone looking to lower the cost of electricity.

I have tested the following plants in a 10 gallon tank:

Ludwgia Repens X: This plant turns green to red to indicate light intensity. Under a single T8 6500k bulb, the plants' bottom is usually green while top half of the leaves turn bronze to red. Under this LED light, the red turned to green and maintained slow growth. Therefore, I know that this light provides lower "PAR" and spectrum not as ideal as a single T8 bulb.

Amazon Sword: Don't bother under this light. Mine melted.

Java Fern: Stayed the same size with little to no new growth.

Java Moss: Continued to grow. Perfect for the low LED light.

Dwarf Sag: Don't bother.

Hornwort: Floating hornwort melted slowly melted away.

Pennywort: Leaves continued to grow, but looked very soft bright green.

Duckweed: Well, they are duckweed. They grew.

So, there you have it. Should give you a good reason to stay with T8 bulbs or take chances with this LED light. Looks nice to human eyes, but doesn't translate to plant growth.

This has to be one of the best purchases I've made for my poor fish. Despite some of the reviews, this lit up my tank very nicely. I have a 35-gallon hexagonal tank. I was concerned that the light wouldn't fit on such an odd shape. I took a chance on it because the opening is 17" across and the light looked like the bars would pull out to accommodate the size of the edge lip, which was about 22". It did and it fits perfectly. The entire tank is illuminated evenly and much more pleasant than my old fluorescent light. I actually don't have a negative. The opening of my tank is about 1" wider than the light itself, so it doesn't cover the hole entirely, but there is only 1/2" open on the front and back, so the cat still can't get in. As a matter of fact, the cat used to be able to push off the fluorescent light because it was so big. Since this one is flat, sits right on top of the tank and is held on by the extendable bars, the cat can't move it off. Again, one of the best purchases I've ever made for the fish.

I've been keeping fish for over thirty five years and these wonderfully innovative double bright LED lighting systems are some of the best advances I've seen aquarium lighting.I was so impressed with the largest sized units the 48-60 I have them on my 55 gallons all the way up to 125 gallons ( you need to Double uo on the units for larger tanks to avoid shadow and ensure uniform lighting)

This size is perfect for tanks up to 36" across, be it a regular or breeder tank the results are absolutely stunning.Gone is the dull white haze of expensive, energy draining full spectrum tubes. Not to mention those awfully shoddy fixtures that haven't changed at least since I was a kid some 40 years ago.

Having looked into alternative lighting in the past, the setups were either too expensive, ran too hot or were difficult to install.One thing is certain Marineland has a hit on their hands. The unit is simplicity itself. A sleek and smart design it's as functional as it is beautiful. Solid build quality, no need for special wiring and installation is a breeze. Simply place it on to your glass canopy, turn it on and get ready to have your jaw drop.

The light from this unit is nothing short of gorgeous, it pours out crystal, pristine and brilliant. The "shimmering effect" is subtle and really quite remarkable the Lunar mode is almost surreal it's that beautiful.I've read on the forums that some folks are using the lights without a versa top. All it takes is one good splash and you'll short the system out not to mention void your warrantee.

The unit itself is so incredibly thin, you'll have no trouble fitting a canopy on top of your tank. The lights rest about 1/4 inch above the glass tops and you'll of course want to place them in the back. The end brackets are fully adjustable and make for a perfect, snap in fit. However, I suggest when using this size on smaller tanks, say up to a 40 gallon ignore the brackets an position the unit without the brackets extended dead center on your glass versa top.

The reason being you'll go nuts trying to get the system perfectly centered. In addition the look without the brackets extended is sensational, clean and high tech.

There's a lot of bang for your buck here :

* The day light LED lights consume only 35 watts as opposed to 80 for a single fluorescent bulb.

* The Lunar LED lights are spectacular and allow you to watch your fish without disturbing their natural sleep/rest cycle.

* Each LED is covered with a Polycarbonate lens this not only protects the bulb, but helps to create the "shimmer effect" hobbyists are raving about.

* Everything you need is controlled by a single side switch. Daylight, Lunar and on and off.

Nothing I've seen re-creates the look of actual sunlight as perfectly as this it's that spectacular.You get an impressive 17,000 lifetime hours, Daylight mode, Lunar mode, an incredible Shimmer effect that's bound to just knock you out and a whopping 1800 Lumens of clear, clean light. The Marineland Double Bright LED lighting system is exceptional.Once you turn it on you'll know immediately that the system is worth every penny. Just a brilliant product that does more than meet your expectations, it exceeds them.

If you are looking for a light that will make your fish look their bestthis is it. It's not overly bright (slightly brighter than standard aquarium lighting), but it lights my 29 gallon perfectly. All the colors in the tank pop. Multicolored gravel has never looked so good and goldfish have never looked better. The light itself looks sleek and modern. It puts out almost no heat. And I love that I don't have to worry about changing bulbs. I have a few low light plants in this aquarium. I wouldn't try any plants more demanding than low light (java moss, java fern, hornwort) with this set up, though. The moonlight feature is the icing on the cake. If you have any neon decor or glofish, they will glow under the blue night lights.

I have 5 aquariums, and have tried lighting from florescent to T5s to compact florescent: LED is my favorite look. I love the bright white light. Also LEDs have the same shimmer effect as natural sunlight on the water's surface. If you have aquatic plants you may need stronger light, but otherwise you can't beat this for looks. Also this is the best price I've seen for a full LED hood.

Cobalt Aquatics 5-Watt Mini-Therm Electronic Heaters for Aquarium

I like this little heater. It didn't have any reviews so I took a chance on it. A couple of the other slim or mini heaters tend to keep my betta bowls too warm.

The cobalt mini 5 watt is keeping my one gallon bowl at a steady 78 degrees. IT has been in service for 3 weeks. I live in Texas and my house's ambient temp in this time of year is about 71.

This heater is perfect for a one gallon tank! I had a 7.5 watt heater that I had to keep unplugging because the water was getting too hot. With the 5 watt heater, no worries and no over heating. Temp stays at 78 to 82 degrees. Could not find anything like this heater at stores.

Its just an awesome little heater for glass and acrylic aquariums from one gallon to 5 gallon aquariums not recommended for 10 gallons and up, you might need something stronger than 5 watts.

Most "betta" heaters range from 7.5 watts to around 15 watts. This is a nice little 5 watt heater, good for very small tanks, or if you only need to raise the temperature slightly in a larger tank. Also good to add as a second heater to a tank needing just a bit more warmth.

The directions clearly explain that this is an "always on" type heater no thermostat meaning no protection from overheating so careful monitoring is required. Not all manufacturers are up front about the limitations of this kind of heater. All betta/bowl heaters operate this way, however the directions don't always make that clear and a lot of people have problems due to expecting something these heaters can't deliver.

This heater is small, heavy, and the suction cup holds well. It heats as much as a mere 5 watts would be expected toif it's what you need, it's perfect.

Aqueon Evolve 4 LED Aquarium Kit, 4 gallons

This arrived from Petco (who also sells through Amazon) within 3 days of ordering.

Pluses:

+ LED lamp with both day and night settings and separate power cord. A benefit so that the light can be hooked up to its own timer.

+ a plastic cover that covers the tank, and a separate cover for the filter area

+ quiet water pump included

Negatives:

the included water pump at its lowest setting still creates a whirlwind of turbulence in the tank. Definitely not working out for my Betta fish. This really isn't a negative fish or coral that do require water movement so YMMV.

The accessories to my tank include a 7" tetra heater which nicely fits inside bank of the tank filter compartment and Eco-Complete substrate. Its not clear if the lumens on the LED is sufficient for plants with moderate demands but time will tell. I am considering either modifying the current water pump or replacing it with a lower flow unit.

This is a great small tank package for all the reasons listed above.

UPDATE Jan 19, 2012***

After much fiddling with the water pump intake and directing the return head to the heater, I have managed to find a calm water flow setting which seems to not upset my Betta. Since my last post, i have placed some marimo moss balls and dwarf hair grass in the tank. The LED seems to be bright enough to sustain plant life which is a good sign. Overall, i am very pleased with this tank.

I would first like to say that I have been keeping fish of all sorts for approximately eight years. I am knowledgeable in their habitats, housing requirements, and the sorts.

Despite other reviews I have seen for this product, it is actually not that bad. Especially for those that either have limited space or are just looking for that "Nano" aquarium.

Some may be skeptical about the lighting for this aquarium as well. As some may know, plants and live corals rely on a sufficient amount of light and light spectrums in order to properly live and grow. And even though LEDs are bright, expensive, and produce nice effects, not all are well suited for the job needed. I can assure you however, that the LEDs included for this kit are intense enough to allow my two live corals (whisker coral and candy cane coral) to continue to do very well. The only main issue, which other have indeed pointed out is the water flow rate coming from the output nozzle. There are two things you can do to adjust this flow and how it affects the water in your tank. One way is adjusting the flow rate via a little slider, located underneath the water pump motor, to a rate that you desire. I currently have mine set to a little under the max. Another way you can control the flow is adjusting the output nozzle itself. With this aquarium, you have the freedom to direct which direction the water flows out. Depending on what fish you have or the setup of your tank you can easily fix this to better suit your needs. I have aimed a little upwards to cause some nice surface tension which not only causes some disturbance on the top of the water, but also helps oxygenate the tank.

In conclusion I feel that this is definitively a great tank for new or experienced aquarium hobbyists. The sump on the back of the tank is a great barrier between what makes your tank run and what you actually want to see. And the LEDs are intense enough to support life that requires a certain amount of light. If you have any questions about my review or about your tank let me know.

I was also going to include a product review video, but due to the limits of video uploads onto Amazon, I have uploaded the video to YouTube. Since I am not allowed to post a link to the video, if you are indeed interested in a video review please search for AquariumHookup and you will find my product reviews.

Buy Aqueon Evolve 4 LED Aquarium Kit, 4 gallons Now

The tank looks real nice, the filter is built in and you can get a small heater in the back no problem. Fits perfectly in our ikea desk hole. The pump is full of dumb though. Way to strong like putting your fish in an endless toilet. Easy to fix though just drill a couple holes through the pump hose.

Initial Tank

Read Best Reviews of Aqueon Evolve 4 LED Aquarium Kit, 4 gallons Here

What can I say, I am a fish addict? I originally had a little 2.5 gallon tank I picked up for $13 new on my desk at work, but it was so small it was difficult to put any filtration into let alone a decent heater.

The nice thing about this little tank is that it has the filter built in and it is SILENT. The only time it ever makes any noise is if a bubble or piece of sand finds its way into the filter. If you turn it on and it makes noise, you just need to rotate the pump a little bit so it isn't rubbing against the side.

The water flow IS a little bit strong, but that can be VERY easily fixed by placing the pump on the lowest setting and putting a small $0.99 filter bag over the outlet. With the filter bag, I can easily keep a little dwarf puffer without much fuss. If you decide to keep a salt water tank (not recommended, but possible) the high flow can be a very good thing.

The light is decent and attractive to look at. I have some chain swords and a marimo growing fairly well in the tank.

The only note that I can give is that the filter is sensitive to sand. If you plan on putting sand in the tank, put a filter bag over the vents of the pump to keep sand out of it.

This is a great little tank. All of my coworkers love it and come check out my fish from time to time.

Want Aqueon Evolve 4 LED Aquarium Kit, 4 gallons Discount?

This tank is a beautiful design and very simple. I love the look and it's a good price. After about 8 months with the tank, and setting it up a couple different times, I've found a few things I like and don't like.

PROS:

-Love the elegant design. Seamless edges and rimless top look great.

-The back compartment has space for a small heater, so the display part of the tank looks very clean with no filters, wires, pumps, etc. Just holes for filter intake, and a small valve for output. You can pivot the valve and direct the flow of water in any direction.

-Daylight and moonlight settings. The light is on a separate power cable, so it can go on a timer.

-There's a little bit of space in the filter media compartment to add other media. I have a piece of sponge right behind the intake holes, and a bag of bio media underneath of the media compartment.

CONS:

-The pump is too strong for a small tank, especially since I bought this as a betta tank. You can turn the pump to a low setting, but even then it creates too much current. I cut a few holes in the filter hose that help reduce the output flow a bit.

-The light has become significantly less bright than it used to be, and a few of the LED nodes are on the fritz and are flickering. I've replaced it with another clip-on LED light. I love the light and the design, but it seems to be giving out and I'm not sure how to fix it.

-The false back is not sealed on the bottom. There is a small gap on the bottom that allows water to flow between the filter compartment and the tank. This became a problem when I had some rooted plants in the tank, because the roots grew through this gap and into the filter compartment. It creates a big problem for filtration, because the water is bypassing the filter media and just being pulled from the bottom of the tank. I even added foam and bio media to the filter media compartment, but water in the media compartment is just stagnant. Beware of this if you use a fine substrate like sand, because it might get pulled in by the filter pump. I drilled some holes in the bottom of the media compartment hoping that it would help water get down to the pump, but it doesn't make much of a difference. I regret not sealing the bottom with silicone before filling it.

-The filter pump has suction cups on the bottom to prevent if from rattling and being noisy. With the suction cups on, my pump is totally quiet. The problem is, when you want to remove the pump, you have to pull really hard to get it out, and it might just pop off of the suction cups. I took my suction cups off and wrapped the pump with foam to keep it from rattling.

Overall:

I love the tank, but I really wish I had sealed the bottom of the false back before filling it with water and fish. I've seen people do videos of their Evolve 4 where this didn't seem to be a problem, so either mine is an older model, or it's slightly defective. I love the look of it, and I would get another if I get another nano tank, now that I know what kinds of modifications need to be made.

Seachem ParaGuard 250ml

I get most of my fish through mail order. By the time they get to me they are often starting to show symptoms of any disease they've EVER been exposed to. This helps. I have successfully treated fish with ich, fin rot and body fungus.

You do need to keep the treatments up, though just putting in a dose for one day won't be enough. The directions are to use one capful for every 10 gallons daily. "Repeat as long as required as long as fish show no signs of stress." You can also use this as a preventative dip for new fish (which I highly, HIGHLY recommend) by putting half a capful per gallon of the dip.

The good news is that not only do you not have to take the charcoal out of your filter and you do not have to worry about snails or shrimp, either. I did a heavy series of doses on one tank that had cherry shrimp in it, and not one died or even looked sick.

If you keep fish, you really need to have medications on hand to treat them when something breaks out. Early treatment is key. I keep this and maracyn 2 on hand so I can nip diseases in the bud. Prazipro has a good reputation, too, but I have not tried that.

Maybe there is a better broad spectrum treatment available than ParaGuard, but I have not found it yet. I would definitely like to hear people's feedback if they've found something that works better.

By the way, this is what the bottle says: "ParaGuard is the only fish and filter safe aldehyde based (10% by weight) parasite control product available... contains no formaldehyde or methanol and will not alter pH... employs a blend of aldehydes, malachite green and fish protective polymers... effectively eradicates many ectoparasites (ich, etc) and external fungal/bacterial/viral lesions (eg, fin rot)."

This stuff works great!

Of course it will not work on everything because it is very BROAD SPECTRUM and that is the trade off. For instance, at the advice of my local fish dealer, I used it in conjunction with erythromycin to treat a particular illness. For the record, I also talked to SeaChem tech support, and they say they don't recommend mixing it with most things as unintentional toxic compounds may be created if you don't really know what you are doing.

This product is also really nice in that one doesn't have to take the carbon out of the filter like one has to with most tank medications (the carbon removes them from the water quickly). This is probably my favorite thing about it.

Also keep in mind that the main thrust of this product is parasites and fungus, and the bacteriological and viral infections that can piggy back on them. This product doesn't get inside the fish very quickly or in high concentrations, and so is not a good choice when one needs the fish to ingest the meds (in this case, you should use Seachem's Focus product in conjunction with either their Sulfathiazole, Kanaplex, or Metronidazole (the choice depends on exactly on what is wrong) in this approach, the meds are mixed in with the fish food, and the focus product helps chemically bind the med to the food for maximal ingestion).

And no, I do NOT work for SeaChem I have just had great experiences with a lot of their products! I am a doctoral candidate in hydrology through, so I sorta know my way around these things)

Oh, and in case it is not clear already in the description above, do NOT use this in marine tanks unless they are fish only, don't have a sump, don't have live rock, and don't have a substrate which would hold nitrifying bacteria. This is why they say this product is for freshwater tanks only.

I've been using Paraguard to treat Ich. In just 3 days, one fish is completely cured and his bitten fins are starting to heal. Another fish is no longer hiding and has started eating again, the ich is still visible, but getting better. The best things about this product are: 1) it's safe for tetras and scaleless fish, 2) it doesn't change the water color or PH, 3) you don't need to use carbon to 'clean' the medicine out of the tank once the ich is gone. The ich cycle (eggs hatching, etc.) lasts 21 to 27 days, so it's recommended to use the product for 3-4 weeks to be sure all the ich is gone. I highly recommend this product!

SeaClear Rectangular Aquarium Combo (Clear)

I have this aquarium. It was my first. It's perfect for anybody who is looking for an aquarium but is scared of breaking the glass. The acrylic is thick and you can see through it just as easily as any glass. Instead of seeing a line of caulk/glue on each corner, the acrylic tank has a smooth sharp turn. The top is glued on. Mine has cut outs for a penguin 330 filter, a small hole for the heater and two larger holes in the middle. They are covered with another piece of acrylic so your lighting wont be splashed. The holes are big enough to move around without any problems.

I have very heavy Holey rock that needs to be taken in and out of the aquarium tank during water changes. I've dropped several big pieces numerous times over the years. I worry about hurting the fish, but never about the tank.

The acrylic tank spoiled me. I was given two glass aquariums since this one. I broke the first one when I was cleaning it. The other one is still in my garage. I've decided to stay with acrylic. It's tough and it's just as clear as glass.

I want to say to check this set and make sure you know what it comes with. The one I have came with the acrylic splash cover, a light/ ballast, heater, and Penguin 330 Filter. SeaClear Aquariums are great. I'm just not sure how Petco sells this particular aquarium.

Just ordered this tank, and waiting shipment. I'll update once it arrives!

I'm puzzled as to how people looking at this tank can't figure out how big it is. It's described as 36" x 12" x 16", which makes it 6912 cubic inches, or very slightly less than 30 gallons in volume, as measured from the outside. So, we'll call it 29+ gallons!

Ok I believe this tank is a 30 gallon...thats what it said on the packaging paper when i got it. I wouldnt have bought it had I known, but anyways. This sucked that they didnt put the size, it just seemed a bit sketchy to me.

This tank has 3 cutouts on top, pretty small, I'm cutting them a bit wider, since I have turtles. Its a pretty great size tank overall, I just hate that the top is glued on. I would have prefered one with no top or one that comes off.
