API Ammo-Chips

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals 79C Ammo-Chips Ammonia Removing Resin for Fresh Water Aquarium, Half-Gallon Box good product, good price and good service.

I sprinkle a half cup or so of these chips in the cat litter periodically, when things start to smell "not so fresh". The same thing that makes them effective at removing ammonia from water makes them effective at removing it from the litter and air. They are quite a bit bigger than litter, so when you sift some get caught in the scoop, but oh well.

I bought this for my 3 tanks. I measured out how much was needed for the size of the tank. I put it loosely in a knee high pantyhose and tied a knot. I put it in all the tanks, and when I took a reading of the water the ammonia levels did not change. You also have to regenerate the chips every 5 days in salt which is an extra step I don't know if it helps.

Like the title reads: They are a good quality brand. However, they're are some down falls. I found a little too much power in the bottom of the carton. Also, I would love to have pellets! They make carbon pellets.. So why not Ammo Pellets!?!!?

Had a extended power outage (4 days) after hurricane Isaac. Saved a clownfish in a small 5 gallon tank with battery aeration. My 100 gallon reef tank stunk after and had to wash rocks and sand with fresh water. Filled with saltwater and put the clown back in and ammonia crept up to a slight but unacceptable level. The chips worked fine. Within a day my ammonia and nitrite levels dropped to zero. Added some nitrifying bacteria and tank was ready for fish and corals in a week.

Feeding Station for fish

I found this item to be a very good purchase. I own a Tiger Oscar Cichlid and he is a very pushy, messy eater. Since I moved this feeding station into his tank, he has been eating all of his food, since he can now catch it! Also, it stays right in the front corner of the tank while he eats, and doesn't float all over the place so he has to chase it. Very good item!

We currently have this feeding dish stuck to the side of our 30 gallon fish tank. The fish all hang out in the front of the tank now waiting to be fed, so we are seeing a lot more of them! Thanks!

Exotic Environments Split Shipwreck Aquarium Ornament, Large, 11-Inch by 5-Inch by 4-1/4-Inch

This ornament looks a lot better in the picture than it does in person. The green is kinda ugly in person compared to what it looks like online. Its more of a dark grayish-green. The ship and everything else is also not as colorful as in the picture but the shipwreck still has great detail to it, just in darker colors. I like the ornament but I wish they would use a truer picture for it.

1st, this is not a "Large" Aquarium piece at all. 2nd, the measurements are more like 10.5"x3"x4 1/4", and 3rd, the coloring is NOTHING like the photo. The "Rum" words are barely made out, the green is very dark, not light, and the overall painting is dark and dismal, not that of any aquarium piece. I feel very taken by this listing, and am glad to be able to return. I would in no way recommend this unless you have a small aquarium, 10 gallons or less, and do not like color involved.

Marina Betta Kit Plastic Plant, Hairgrass

I bought this plant five months ago for my 5-gallon aquarium that houses 4 male fancy guppies. The hair grass is soft and waves in the current from the filter. The guppies swim down into it, around it, and through it with no hesitation. I've bought a number of other plastic plants, thinking a second plant would look nice. However, they've all been stiff and/or with sharp points and the guppies will have nothing to do with them. Those plants are now in the back of a cupboard awaiting the next garage sale and the Marina hair grass remains the only plant in the tank. The suction cup is strong and adheres to the glass bottom of my fish tank well enough that it would have to be pried loose if I wanted to remove it. The fronds are soft and non-harmful to the large tails and fins of the guppies. Now that I've compared this hair grass with other plastic plants, I feel fortunate to have found it. I recommend it without reservation.

My betta is in love with this plant, & it does not rip his fins! I bought four of them and placed them all in my 10 gallon tank, and they seem to be doing well. One issue is that the suction cup and and actual plastic plant do detach from each other but can easily be out back together.

This plastic plant was actually stiffer than I had anticipated, however, it appears that my betta does not really mind. He enjoys swimming in and out of it. Not only that, the suction cup works extremely well. Over all, I will recommend this to anyone who desires a plastic plant in their thank.

The pump is compact, powerful and very quiet. If submerged, the pump is completely silent. The pump is also user friendlycoming with adapters for fit various applications.

Just as described. Works awesome on my 30 gallon saltwater tank. Fits perfectly in the built in sump on my tank. Super quiet.

This pump was just the right size for my 70 gallon freshwater aquarium. I may even need to adjust the flow settings to reduce it a bit because I will be planting. The sound from the pump is hardly noticeable; just a bit of background noise. The cord was sufficiently long for my setup. The only critique I had was that the pump did not come with the plastic feet attached; they required a bit of dexterity and persistence to push into place.

Jardin Aquarium Cleaning Manual Squeeze Water Change Cleaner Pump, 1.9m Long

I have been using this to clean my 75 gallon Marine Aquarium for a few months now and it is doing a very good job. The pump primer works great, the on/off valve makes it convenient to control the flow and the suction is very good to assist with removing detritus from the tank. Plus the price was amazingly low!

The siphon works well. It pumps water as it's supposed. Quality wise you get what you pay for. This is an inexpensive alternative.

Buy Jardin Aquarium Cleaning Manual Squeeze Water Change Cleaner Pump, 1.9m Long Now

This thing has so many air leaks that there is no chance of starting a siphon. The siphon tube is thin, cheap ribbed plastic which does not seal to either end of the pump. I thought this would be great with the controllable flow, but since no siphon is possible there is no flow to control. Took 2 weeks to arrive too, so I guess you get what you pay for. It's not even worth my time to return it.

Hermit Crab Cake

Our Hermit Crab really liked this food. It seemed to disappear a little quicker then some so it must be tasty.

I upgraded the crabs tank from the tiny thing it gets when you buy one on the boardwalk to an actual tank and purchased this to replace the food they sold us which was basically gone by the end of the vacation. well its been some time now since i put this in the tank and he still has not touched it at all. The only thing this crab seems to eat is the driftwood in the tank. Wont eat fruits or veggies either and im amazed its even still alive.

Kordon Fish Protector

I have been using this product for about a year now after discovering it in small 4 oz bottles at a pet store (in another city). Fortunately, I was able to find the 16 oz. bottles online. I use this whenever I notice any kind of stress and even take it along with me when I go fish shopping in other cities ("have bucket will travel"). This product calms any fish that shows agitation or aggression and aids healing. I have used other Kordon's products since 2006 and have been very happy with them as well. I have asked local stores to try to stock the product, but so far, haven't had any luck (one would order a whole case for me! but the price per bottle was quite a bit higher than what I pay on line...I continue to order online).

Note: This is not a de-chlorinater you will still need other products for that.

This is seriously the best thing ever created for fish!!!(Saltwater AND Freshwater) I used to go through so many bottles of this stuff until it's recently been out of stock and not being reordered at any of our Petsmart's or Petco's. But it's great for so many things like if you have a violent fish attacking another one, you can pour in a bunch of this stuff to calm them down and mellow out. It's like a stress coat but better because you can't overdose with it!!!! This stuff has saved so many of my fish, and it's perfect for when you're transferring a fish from one tank to another. ( I usually put them in a bowl with half a capful of Fish protector and slowly introduce the new water). Awesome product!!!!

This stuff is a big help in fighting fin erosion when your fish are under stress from illness. Kordon claims on the label that the polymer coating absorbs methylene blue, malachite green, nitrofurozone and antibiotics like tetracycline and acts as a carrier for the medications. My own experience in treating velvet is that without this stuff I lost a veil tale to stunningly rapid bacterial fin erosion down to the roots, and with this stuff, fin erosion halted and I did not lose any of my other fish. And with an early enough application in another tank, there was no fin erosion at all when that horrible gold dust had to be treated there. (If you experience velvet, keep in mind that it is exceedingly virulent and take extra precaution not to spread it to other tanks.)

Hinged Rectangle Aquarium Canopy in Glass

I ordered this canopy because i had mesured my 40 gallon and knew that i needed a 36" wide top. The canopy I received is 35 1/4 ", and if i had let go it would have fallen right into my tank. There arent dimensions on the box but it does say this: FITS 30, 34H & 45H GAL. TANKS. If this had been included in the products description I might not have ordered it since my tank is a 40 gal. Seller should correct the dimensions in the description. The depth is wrong too. With the plastic thing attached to the glass it is only 11.5", not 13" as advertised. Furthermore the handle they inclcuded is all scratched up. I will be returning this :(

Contacted seller (HorseLoverZ / EasyPetStore) on Amazon and eBay about this item. Claimed manufacturer gave her the stock photo. The manufacturer denied this saying that the picture is NOT of the item. The photo and the item do not match. In the photo, it shows three separate hinged partitions. The item only has one hinge.

Communication from the seller is poor and NOT recommended.

Exotic Environments Incan Vase Aquarium Ornament, Small

I have this ornament in a 10 gallon freshwater tank. I prefer an ornament to a the focal point amongst plants and driftwood, but not overbearing. I would not personally recommend it for a smaller size tank, as I feel it would be a little too large. That being said, I'm very happy with it. I was looking for a South American theme, so this is perfect. Small fish have swim holes for play. I ran airline tubing into it, and have air bubbles gently rising from the center of the vase.

The ornament is beautiful. However, had strong chemical odor and fell apart in one month. I pulled it out of the aquarium by the handle and it fell off.

R2 Solutions Moonlight Extreme Aquarium Led Light

This LED Moonlight is perfect for my Fluval Edge nano reef. It adds just enough blue to make things look good. The inline power switch makes it easy to turn the light off and on. The mounting clips can be screwed in place or use the included double stick tape. It fits neatley inside the canopy of the Fluval Edge with out any mess or modifications.

These are super easy to install and put out a nice "moon glow". My only complaint is the small area of light they throw.

Coralife 05473 Straight Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 36-Watt, 10K

Installs easily, fits my 29g Biocube perfectly. I've used other brands, but these provide nice light and the price was right. No defects.

I had been looking all over the place for these bulbs. I have a custom type tank that uses these bulbs. Apparently they also fit the BioCube. None of the Petsmarts or Petcos or even Walmarts near me carry these. They have them on their websites, but Amazon was the cheapest. Definitely works as expected and is super bright. My fish are happy now that they have light again!

Second time I've gotten a defective 10,000 K lamp from amazon. And second time I am going through the return process. Last year when the lamps were needing replacement, in my Biocube 29g, I ordered the normal 36 watt 10000K and 36 watt actinic lamps. The 10000 k lamp I received for some reason had the same hue as the actinic lamp and was still labeled 10000k on the lamp! (which had to of been a manufacture defect)I returned the lamp.

This year I decided to try again because the pricing is reasonably better than the local stores $5 to even $10 cheaper than in my area. The 10,000k lamp I received this time around was defective and did not light up, only flickered about once or twice before giving out. I am now waiting for a replacement, surely if something is wrong with this one I will buy my aquarium products elsewhere from now on.

Also note the actinic lamp I received this year was in excellent condition but was also from an out side vender on amazon.

Green Killing Machine Internal 9 Watt UV Sterilizer with Power Head

I was happy with this unit, seemed like a sane and useful design, however it failed at around 4 weeks of operation. If I am able to get warranty service, or otherwise the issue resolved I'll update this review but right now I can't recommend it.

At 4 weeks or so the control box red light went out which should indicate the UV lamp needed replacing. That's terrible but I wondered if that might not be just a defective light, etc. I just went ahead and purchased a new lamp, figured I'd use it in the long run regardless, however the control box indicator light is still out so that's not it, apparently the 'control box' has failed. I'm attempting to get warranty service from the manufacturer because I'm over the 30 day return policy.

I took a chance on a relatively new vendor and I'm glad I did. Hats off to the Umbrella Group. Everything went smoothly and the product was delivered in good shape and on time.

I'm very pleased with the unit. I needed a UV filter for a smaller tank with a hanging filter (so an in-line wouldn't work) and was very happy to find this at a great price. It's whisper-quiet and includes a power head for great circulation.

Two small words to the wise:

1) The product is a snap to set up if you're a little mechanically inclined because the instructions that come with it leave something to be desired. The illustrations are microscopic and the text says to see illustrations that don't exist.

2) Make sure you look at ALL the photos before you decide to put this in a smaller tank (20 g or less). It takes up more room than the main picture might lead you to believe but is rated up to 50g.

With that said, I would heartily recommend this to anyone who's ever dealt with an algae bloom (or anyone who doesn't want to).

I got this smaller 9 watt version for a 125 gallon tank, just to see if it will work. Turns out it work so good, I didn't need to buy 2 after all! No my tank isn't lightly stock either, it's overstocked with Koi's and Goldfish! You already know how dirty those fellas get. Anyway, Best money ever spent for a aquarium, worth every cent! Worked better than advertised! Tank began to clear up within 3 hours, mind you this a HUGE 125 Gallon tank! The next day, water was crystal clear! I mean you can see from one end of the 6 foot tank to the other end and the other side of that glass! AMAZING! That's >6 feet of pure visibility as if there's no water! I got 4 bubble/aeration in my tank, and the streams of bubbles coming out looks like sparkling diamonds and has an awesome effect that i never notice was there!

You don't need 2 of these! Just buy one and have a good day! This is how incredible the 9watt is, just imagine how powerful the 24 watt would be. Fish is happy, i'm happy, all is good."

Other facts: Plug and play, doesn't make a sound, looks difficult to set up but isn't. The water flow is slow, suppose to be that way for max "killing" power and efficiency. Doesn't shock me like the other products have. Built solid, no signs of electrical leakage or water leakage anywhere. Mount the control box on the OUTSIDE of tank. Instruction manual does leave out a lot of info, but who's really an idiot anyway? If you can keep fish alive, let alone Kois, you're not the average Joe Schmoe that needs step by step guidance anyway. Seriously!!

Two of my kids tanks turned green while we were away on vacation. I think our neighbors overfed the fish. Anyway, after chasing the algae blooms on the 5 and 10 gallon tanks without success (repeated cleanings and water changes), I purchased the Green Killing Machine. After 48 hours in the pea-soup green 10 gallon tank, the water was noticeably cleaner. After 72 hours, the water was crystal clear. Then I transferred the unit to the 5 gallon tank. After 48 hours, it too is crystal clear.

If you have an algae bloom, this is your ticket.

Want Green Killing Machine Internal 9 Watt UV Sterilizer with Power Head Discount?

The Green Killing Machine 9 watt worked wonderfully for the first three months I owned it. Water was crystal clear, and even if the submersible part of the unit was big and bulky it was worth disguising to have such a trouble free aquarium.

Then, despite weekly routine cleaning and maintenance as suggested per the manual, the charging unit stopped working. Only it didn't just short out. It fried itself and burned so hot that it melted through the plastic housing before I caught it. I don't know if and when the little red light went out; it's simply not something most people check on a daily basis. What I do know is that the problem could have been seriously compounded had the unit continued to smoulder.

Based on the potential for danger and the fact the unit eventually stopped functioning beyond repair, I can't recommend it at all.
