Filter-Max III Prefilter

Filter-Max III PrefilterWe have breeding albino catfish in a 15 gallon show tank. This works perfect to save the tiny babies from being sucked up the filter. It also saves the frequent Whisper Biobag filters changes. I wish we knew about this many years ago!

As far as its size. It is large-about 4" long and nearly 2" diameter. You can install it vertically or horizontally, which is convenient. It's easy to put on intake tube with several adaptor connections. I planted a few artificial plants around to hide the filter. So far so good!

I bought this to keep baby guppies and cherry shrimp from getting sucked up into the uptake of a fairly powerful canister filter. It has worked very well so far, but it is not quite perfect.

I wish the adapter did not have two 90 degree bends in it. This is not great for fluid dynamics, and it also just seems unnecessary why can't you just put the sponge straight on the tube?

Another problem with the adapter is that it leaves small holes around the edge of where the adapter covers the center of the sponge. A wee baby guppy or a baby shrimp could get sucked up in those holes. It would be nice if it fit better.

I have had to rub the sides of the sponge once in a while to loosen up the debris and let the water pass better. Its not a big deal, and not a flaw in the sponge, but something to be aware of. You dont want to make your filter pump work any harder than it has to.

Overall, its a perfectly good pre-filter, and I am planning on buying another one soon.

This pre-filter is a must if you raise fry or shrimp. I use them on a Aquaclear 70 and they do excellent both as a pre-filter and a guard to keep the shrimp from becoming pate. My only fuss is that the other model has a very fine sponge that failed after a couple of months. This one, with the course sponge, is great.

Bought this for my aquaclear 30 when my molly had babies to avoid them from being sucked up the filter. IT worked perfectly, and you can see the bio crud that it traps! Might actually help the filter increase efficency also.

I was hesitant to buy this but after connecting it to my old school whisper filter it works great. I wish they sold sponge filter separately to replace this large sponge. I will buy again if i cannot find replacement sponge.

TotalPond A16510 Pond Thermometer

TotalPond A16510 Pond ThermometerThe thermometer works great and its in Celcius and Farenheight connected by a nylon string to find it easily. I would have given it 5 stars had the glass window that protects the mercury glass behind it wasn't broken on delivery... it works fine without the protective cover and as its used for fish without abuse worry that the mercury tube would break decided to just use it as I was in a pinch to maintain proper temperatures. Other than that, it is a good product.

Bought this for my dad to measure water temperature in the Boundary Waters...works great. He ties it up to the side of our canoe and lets it bob while we fish. Smalllightweightand very effective.

2 ×Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament MI403

2 ×Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament MI403These were a nice addition to the tank. They do not require a great deal of effort to place them especially if you have a small tank.

These little (emphasis on little) ornaments are great. They look just as advertised and are a nice addition to my tank. The only thing I was unhappy with is how small they are. They say 3.9 inches high, but they are more like 2.5. Maybe the very top edge of a frond sticks up 4 inches high, but I seriously doubt it.

Aqueon 06143 Submersible Pump 4000, 755 GPH

Aqueon 06143 Submersible Pump 4000, 755 GPHI have this in a 200 gallon fresh water tank. It works well and is fairly quiet but the reason it got only 4 stars is that it can heat up the tank. It heats the water to about 5 degrees above ambient. It limits the amount of time I can keep the light on as any other source of heat just gets the tank too warm. I spoke to a professional and he thought there may be something wrong with it but he then called his Aqueon rep. and they said there were no recalls on any of their pumps.

Romp! High Viz Elastomer Ball Dog Toy

Romp! High Viz Atom Ball Elastomer Ball Dog ToyPicked this up on sale at Petco for $3 and still feel ripped-off. Although the ball feels solid enough in packaging, the blue sections are actually seperate and barely held in. The first one fell out within two minutes of playful fetching. After the second came off, we pulled the rest of the blues out (which didn't take ANY effort at all. They were so loose I don't know how they didn't fall off in packaging). The blue pieces are small and easily choking hazards. After the ball was de-blued, the yellow frame felt sturdy enough to continue playing fetch. Within another five minutes, the rest of the ball started coming off in chunks.

I would not recommend this toy. Although it looks cool, and our dog really did love it, it is cheaply built.

I purchased one of the atom style balls for my dog. He loved it. He was able to find it easy. I believe in the blue/yellow color claim as he can lose sight of this one and retrieve it when told to find his ball. But with in a day or 2 he had pulled all the little atoms apart. Keep in mind I have a 115 lb Shepard/Mastiff who's still a puppy (2 years). Gonna try the football or the other one, they may not be as sensitive

This toy didn't last an hour with my two year old Westie. She has teeth and jaws like I don't know what. Within an hour she had peeled most of the felt off it. I still trying to get the rest of the felt off so she can have some fun with the plastic ball, alone. She does recognize those colors, as she has another two with the same colors that dogs see so well.

Want Romp! High Viz Elastomer Ball Dog Toy Discount?

I accept that my 18 lb. Shiba/pom mix is a little more driven to destroy than "normal" dogs, so I didn't expect this toy to last much more than a day, though I was hopeful. It lasted 90 minutes. I can accept the claim of color contrast, because while we were rolling the ball back and forth on the floor, our dog was able to track it and intercept it like a professional soccer player. But the only warning I would give to other dog owners is that the color components are actually separate, and our dog pried a blue portion completely off of the ball in fairly short order.

I give this item two stars not because of its ease of destruction but its price. Had it cost less, I'd have expected the same longevity. At the price we paid for it, I expected something a little tougher.

Eshopps WD-125CS Wet Dry Filter - 100 to 125 gal.

Eshopps WD-125CS Wet Dry Filter - 100 to 125 gal.I went cheap on my filtration for my saltwater reef, then decided to go with the correct filter and I finally made a good choice. Great product!

This is the email I sent to Eshopps about their poorly-made product:

I purchased your model WD-125CS from Drs. Foster and Smith. I'm returning it as soon as possible. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with your product. For the money I spent, I would expect clear, illustrated installation instructions. The deal breaker for me was when "the long vinyl screw" would not even fit into the hole at the bottom of the "clear overflow box" to make it parallel to the tank to which it was attached. The screw would go about half through before seizing up and stopping.

You can't even match up the size of a vinyl screw with the hole drilled in acrylic for it? I'll never buy another one of your products ever again. The only good thing about this experience with your product is that Drs. Foster and Smith will allow me to return it cost-free.

All Glass Aquarium AAG21603 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 35hex

All Glass Aquarium AAG21603 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 35hexThis is exactly what I wanted. Was easy to find and was shipped fast! The description and picture were great!

I bought this for a tank that I bought as a stand alone tank, not a kit. The hood seems to let very little water evaporate. At least the water level does not drop as much as my rectangle tank. The tank is thick enough to remain ridged yet thin enough to cut extra holes in. I have 2 hoses, a heater, and a hang on the back filter. Another plus is that it does not allow the water that does evaporate collect on the light.

I would buy this hood again.

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Rama Background

AquaVista 500 Wall-Mounted Aquarium, BlackI love this aquarium. I am a fish lover and have various tanks in my house. I saw this and thought this is definitely something differnt, not only in looks but in function. The set up was easy, just hang it on your wall and add water and fish. There is a control panel on the side that maintains all the components, filtration, airflow, etc. We have it in out foyer so people see it right when they come in. We've gotten so many positive comments and even our friends have purchased a couple!!

I ordered the tank with the silver frame to match our stainless equipment in our kitchen and it looks great! I actually received the aquarium the next day! Set up was a little bit of a challenge as the depth is only 3 3/8" inches on the inside on the tank and I put a couple of plants and a piece of driftwood ( found me a few pieces of African driftwood with a depth of less than 3 3/8", terrific selection and excellent prices too). I originally put substrate (for shrimp) over a mesh covering the semi open bottom and the aquarium was overtaxed and became violently ill. I remedied the problem by slowly taking everything out and replacing the substrate with gravel and it works great now. The tank is very well designed and thought out and it comes with a net, cleaner pad on a pole, gravel (white), a mechanically manipulated mini grabber and everything you need except fish. Well written instruction manual with company phone number and a problem section which got me through the subsrtate problem. It's only been up for two days so I'll write an addendum if there are any problems. Jody Koval

Python Brass Adapter for Aquarium

Python Brass Adapter for AquariumCleaning my aquarium is much easier with this product and and the brass adapter is very durable and resists stripping.

If I had known that Python now ships with a brass adapter I wouldn't have ordered one bowever it's always good to have a back up and I keep it for my tanks that are on a different level of the house.

Python has been around for just about as long as I've been keeping fish which is over 35 years. I haven't used one in decades but decided to get a new one and check out the improvments. Not much has changed but the brass adapter is a major step up from the old plastic one. Those wouldn't last very long, the threads would strip away entriley after a few uses an the seal was never complete enough to stop water from spraying everyplace but it STILL beat carrying around those buckets!

This adpater is pretty universal and should fit most any faucet. Theres amale and female side, if you have a diffuser or water saver on your faucet simply remove it and pop this one in and you're good to go.

JBJ 3 Gallon Picotope Curved Glass Aquarium

JBJ 3 Gallon Picotope Curved Glass AquariumI had my eye on this little aquarium for a while, and am happy I got it. The filter provided is very flimsy, but it is quiet and provides a very gentle flow, which is great if you're keeping fish who dislike a strong current, particularly in such a small space. The media inside the filter is quality, and there is a modest amount of flow adjustment allowed on the intake valve. The size of the tank is perfect for fry or other tiny fish or invertebrates. On first blush it seems like a great tank for a betta, but this is an open-top tank and bettas are known jumpers.

The real value in this set, though, is not the filter or the light (which is perfectly adequate), but the aquarium itself -The glass is very solid, heavy, and exceptionally clear. The bottom is beveled for beauty and stability. The buying price is worth it just for the tank itself. Pershnickity aquarists will find it worth the time and money changing out the filter and/or light for something better, because the aquarium itself is true quality.

I'm into nano-reef aquariums. This is a great tank to get started! It's a popular tank for the hobby and there is lots of info is out there specifically for it. Looks nice and clean on a desk. Though, as with any tank, you will need to add a few parts. I added a modified AquaClear70, a MiniJet404 powerhead, and a Current Satellite 18W light, and a Hydor 25W heater. I strongly recommend this aquarium for anyone wanting to cultivate beautiful corals, but not interested in fish. You can really only do one small SW fish with this tank (I'm not planning to). Though there is plenty of room for a few other invertebrates.

First off, I have to agree with the previous poster. The end of the filter nozzle can slip off easily and can literally siphon small fish into the filter. I would recommend possibly using a rubber band or some way to make them stay attached more sturdily, or possibly some aquarium safe silicone.

With that being said I also had a problem with one of the filters. I purchased four of these tanks for my bettas and one of the filters has a slow leak in the back. It is so slow I didn't realize it until the next day after having set these tanks up. It has caused water damage to my furniture. I specifically purchased a new book shelf to house these tanks and the shelf hasn't even been in my home for 72 hours and it now has water damage. I can accept this since it is toward the back up against the wall but here's the thing.....

I called JBJ Lighting and left a message which they did NOT return. I called them again and they wanted me to jump through all these hoops in order to show proof of my purchase. I spent over $160 on their products. I feel they should help me out a bit without me having to do so much work.

In any event, I called Doctors Foster and Smith (the vendor from which I purchased my tanks) and they are doing the work for me and have assured me they will take care of the filter replacement. I'm relieved and grateful and I highly recommend Doctors Foster and Smith. I have done business with them in the past and they have always taken good care of me.

I'm only giving the company JBJ Lighting 2 stars (because of how they handled me)but the tank itself with no problems would be worthy of at least 4 stars. My bettas seem quite happy in their new homes. The other disadvantage is they only have a 6 month warranty on these tanks. That's really a brief amount of time. Other companies offer at least a year's worth. In the future I will be hesitant to purchase items from JBJ Transworld Aquatic Ent., Inc. I do not appreciate their lack of putting the customer first.

Sept 21st ***UPDATE***

JBJ finally sent me a replacement filter. They sort of took their time. Now I am having problems with the impellers getting clogged with the charcoal medium that is breaking down. I decided to unplug and rinse everything out and the bag of charcoal is literally crumbling and making a mess everywhere. I've only had them working for roughly 3 weeks.

The one thing I noticed is that the impeller screws in from the bottom and can be disconnected from the body of the filter. This is design is INSANE! It's like having a bathroom sink hanging over the sides of the tank with a drain clog in place to prevent the water from seeping out. In time rubber breaks down and it WILL be a problem eventually. This i why one of my filters leaked from the get go.

These tanks are going back. Companies that pay no attention to quality are souring my desire to be an aquarist. I'd give them one star if I could but I can't change my initial 2 star rating.

Just received this tank today. In all honesty it was a great purchase. To get the tank, light, and a filter for 40(ish). Is a great deal. The glass is almost flawless as well as the seals. I honestly have no cons about the tank itself or anything else.

For those skeptical I was there too.

The tank itself is actually a decent size and everything works just fine.

ViaAqua Titanium Aquarium Heater, 100-Watt

ViaAqua Titanium Aquarium Heater, 100-WattThis heater is a bit fussy to set up because it is three connected units: The heater tube, a temperature sensor you must attach inside the aquarium some distance from the heater, and a control unit that hangs outside the tank. Once you have it set though it works well. It maintains a good steady temperature. It indicates that temperature in glowing red digits, easily seen at a distance, and has another light to show when the heater is on. Since the indicated temperature changes when I change some water I know the temperature shown is water temperature and not just the setpoint that SHOULD be water temperature. That's good to know.

When you unplug the unit, as for water changes and such, it resets to a default temperature of 79 deg f. Pushing the temperature set button only raises the temperature setting but no worries; when it gets to the top (which is 96 f) it jumps to the lowest temperature (in the mid 60s if I remember correctly) and starts up from there again.

Buy one that you can lay horizontally. This company refuses to answer simple questions regarding their product. . . .

Lee's Net Breeder

Lee's Net BreederThis net allows for great water flow and allows the baby fish to be in the same water as the adults safely. Mine came with some little plastic plants for the babies to hide in. Place the female in here to give birth, then take her out when she's done so she won't eat them. After about 8 weeks, they will be large enough to go into the big tank. A big problem with raising baby fish is over feeding. this net allows extra food to fall out into the main tank and the adults will eat it.

I'm currently using it to isolate an aggressive fish. It works. The construction is very basic -2 plastic rectangles connected by 4 plastic sticks, with a net stretched over it. The construction doesn't appear durable and I expect something to fail after several rounds of assembly/disassembly.

The "hooks" to attach the net to the tank are flexible metal plates that you bend around the edge of the tank. It's ugly, not sturdy, can easily break, and don't appear replaceable. They don't hold the net evenly in place -the front edge hangs 1/2" lower than the back. I had to lower the water level in the tank to ensure that the front of the net is above the water line.

Overall, it's fine for occasional use and the price is right. But I'd get something better for prolonged use, especially if it's going into a display tank.

It does the job better than expected. It appeared small at first, but after use, the mother fish I put in it seems calm and comfortable. As other reviews state, it allows for good water flow, and connects to the tank easily. I ordered 2 more today.

Read Best Reviews of Lee's Net Breeder Here

I read all the reviews and thought this was the best breeder for my molly. Most of these breeders seem to get lackluster reviews, so I thought I would take a chance on this one.

It's cheap. For what I need, it's serviceable, but barely. I put it together easily enough until I got to the netting. It's too small. So the net only goes up to almost touch the top. The pictures on the box have it coming over the top four corners and therefore staying secure. It's just poorly made.

Also the hooks don't really work for my tank. I have a 55 gallon, the standard kind. But the hooks aren't nearly long enough to hook over the top and have the net submerged. They aren't even long enough to actually hook over the frame on the the top. And then of course I wouldn't be able to close the lid all the way.

So, I took a piece of styrofoam and created a float to hook the hooks on. I had to use a second piece on the front to compensate for the net not going all the way to the top. This effort was less than it would have taken to send it back, since everyone is complaining about all of them.

Then I found out that mollies are pregnant for somewhere around a month (I thought she was really fat, but she's not anywhere near ready) so I let her out, and took the breeder out of the tank. When she is ready, I'm going to try replacing the netting with nylon stocking. Hopefully that will work.

If you really need something and you are willing to get cheap and shoddy workmanship for a small amount of money, then go ahead. But if you want quality that will last, and work properly, this is not the breeder for you.

Exotic Environments Caribbean Living Reef Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Caribbean Living Reef Aquarium Ornament, Mini , 4-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch by 3-1/2-InchI purchased the 7 1/2 inch ornament for my 10 gallon tank. I had read other reviews where people said, it didn't look as colorful and vivid as it does in the picture. When I opened the box, I was expecting it not to be colorful, but it was colorful. It is so pretty and it really makes my tank more enjoyable to look at. Now if only my fish would swim in there instead of looking at it wondering if it's some strange monster. This is a perfect size for a 10 gallon tank, it's not too small and not too large.

At first I was dissatisfied that the colors weren't as bright as they appeared in the ad, but then I put it in my aquarium with plants and other decor and it looks great! It looks like a mini coral reef and the colors blend well with the plants on a light white gravel. My fish also use the cave to hide or explore and that is always fun to watch. The quality seems good also. So all-in-all I am very happy with it and the price was very good for the quality.

Hartz Wardley Goldfish Crumbles, 2-1/2-Ounce

Hartz Wardley Goldfish Crumbles, 2-1/2-OunceNot up to the expectations. My fishes are not liking this. Too costly for the quantity....I will not recommend this.

I have exotic gold fish in my pond and I use this food any time my fish reproduce and I have baby goldfish swimming around. At first, the little fish are afraid to come to the surface in my presence and can't swallow the bigger pellets that I feed the adults even if they did come up, so while the adult fish are eating their pellets, I sprinkle in these granules that slowly sink down. At first the baby fish just eat them off the bottom, but as they get used to the routine they start swimming up to get the granules before they hit bottom. Eventually, they are all swarming at the top together looking for granules and pellets as they are all trained to come at the approach of a person to get their meal now. The only problem is that the adults love this food too so you need to put in enough for both! I continue to use this food inside in the aquarium if the babies are still too small for pellets when I bring them in for the winter.

Fish Canister External 3 Stage Filter Pump for Aquarium Pond Pump Fish Tank New

Fish Canister External 3 Stage Filter Pump for Aquarium Pond Pump Fish Tank NewSo I read the reviews for this item, and thats the only reason I trusted this purchase because for the price of this filter and it stating how much GPH it can produce? It seemed too good to be true.

But when I received the item, the first thing I noticed is that the media baskets were a lot larger than I thought they were going to be, and all the parts were there. The only thing I had a problem with about the item was that the intake and out take plastic pieces were a green color, which really stood out against the black background of my tank so i painted them black before putting them in lol. This isn't something to take a star off for, just a personal preference. But just to note for the maker if you're reading this, maybe making the parts black would be a better neutral color vs. a green one, just for feedback.

Anyway, you cant go wrong with this purchase if you're looking for a good, cheap cost, working canister filter! You won't regret it. Mine's been up and running for almost a month now, no problems.

good filter but the shut off valve started leaking in 4 months and i called best choice products and they don't sell the valve by itself so i'm stuck with a filter i can't use
