Hagen A833 Marina 200 Aquarium Aeration Kit

Hagen A833 Marina 200 Aquarium Aeration KitIt is somewhat loud, but I hid it under something, placed it on carpet and I never hear it now. The only issue is that one of the ports broke off for no apparent reason. So now I am down to only being able to use one hose.

Update: it has been about three months and the other air line port broke. What is amazing is that they snap off with absolutely no force put upon them, just the weight of the air line itself. Look elsewhere for a better quality pump.

Fast shipping. VERY quiet.. Air bar produces nice bubble-curtain effect. Enough air-tubing to allow pump to be placed in a convenient location.

Zoo Med Sinking AquaLog Fish Shelter Small

Zoo Med Sinking AquaLog Fish Shelter SmallDecoration/shelter seems good quality and sank well in the tank. It was bigger than expected for a small size. I got it to protect a school of baby fish from bigger fish in the tank, but the opening is much bigger than anticipated. It still gives them hiding areas around it and through smaller holes on it, but only would keep out large, big bodied fish (such as full grown silver dollars). Slim, longer bodied fish (ie. catfish and some cichlid types) can still get in there.

Coastal Pet 46341 ODH12 Lazer Brite Reflective Adjustable Dog Collar, Adjusts from 8-12-Inch and 3/

Coastal Pet 46341 ODH12 Lazer Brite Reflective Adjustable Dog Collar, Adjusts from 8-12-Inch and 3/8-Inch WideWe have 5 small dogs and work with dog rescue. These are the best collars. We live in the country with a big fenced yard, and the added visibility of the collar is perfect for us. I would guess it could work nicely for walking on city streets as well and I'd buy the harnesses to go with them. We've bought the small and the medium sized collar. The narrower small collar does get lost in long hair a bit, but they are still perfect!

Reef One Biorb Easy Plants

biOrb Plant Pack, Blue/Purple, 2 PlantsPlants look so very realistic! Outstandingly beautiful and so easy to install and clean.

Only complain I have a about is that both Plant's size it's extremely alike. One is huge while the other is tiny, i wasn't expecting such big difference since it is not specified in the description. Box simply states "Medium" size, and actually I consider one as "big", and the other as "small".

Besides that, they defenitely improved my aquarium appealing... everybody loves it now, specially my fish! =D

This is a winner. I love how the weighted bottom makes cleaning the tank super easy. When you suction the bottom of the tank, you don't have to try to reanchor them when you are done. I did end up trimming off some of the branches to make them fit in the tank but that's because I had a lot going on in the tank. I have puffers and wanted lots of foliage for them to hide from each other if they get aggressive. These are perfect.

These are the best artificial aquarium plants I have found. The ceramic weights make positioning them easy. They seem to have a more rubbery feel to them, not the stiff plastic like alot of others. You can spread the leaves apart and they actually stay that way for a fuller look. I also love the colors in this particular pack of plants. Nice splash of fall color.

Want Reef One Biorb Easy Plants Discount?

These are cool artificial plants. I like being able to just drop them in and move them wherever you want. You never have to worry about them becoming dislodged and floating to the surface. Love the bright colors too. Also, they are not too stiff and move well in the water. When algae builds up I just pull them out, spray them with the hose and drop them back in. I would never buy another brand after trying these. Worth the extra money and the price on Amazon cannot be beat.

D-D Rowahos Phosphate Remover for Aquarium

D-D RP-25 ROWAphos Phosphate Removal Media - 250 ml/8.45 ozThere is not another product on the market that works as well or lasts longer. If you own a salt water aquarium, a phosphate remover is very important. Rowa may cost a little more but works better and lasts longer

Aquatop Aquarium Submersible Pump

Aquatop Aquarium Submersible PumpAs Austin mentioned, the adapters included do not match the pictures for the product. To complicate matters, there are no instructions on how to set it up (just maintain it and warning information).

It turns out the tubing included is not actually for the output of the pump, but is intended to be used to mix air into the water flow.

I got the following response from the manufacturer:

"Unfortunately, the additional accessories shown in the 4th and 5th pictures are not included with this unit and were uploaded in error. We apologize for the mis-information. However, the airline tubing can be attached to the NP-80 as an optional "Venturi Line" feature. To use this optional feature, first remove the output attachment on the NP-80 and replace it with the T-Adapter attachment. Then attach the airline tubing to the T-Adapter extension which should be pointed up. The other end of the airline (with the air flow adjustment valve) should be placed outside of you tank so that in can draw in air to mix with the water output. The T-Adapter output should remain open so that the water/air mixture can flow into your aquarium water. Hope that helps!"

I got this for a homemade sous-vide cooker and am happy with its performance except one thing: when the water level drops below the level of the intake, it apparently burns out. And I managed to drop the water level by taking a piece of meat out of the cooker. So if this is your application, make sure to turn the pump off before doing anything that will drop the water level.

Works as expected and included a 1/2", a 5/16", and a 5/16" with 3/16" side arm outlet adapter.

-1 for not including all the adapters in the pictures.

This pump works well but is not a direct replacement for the pumps that come in the Aquatop filter kits.

Buyed this for replacement of a water fountain, comes with many adapters so it goes with anything, very good flow so far.

Aquarium Wood - Medium

Aquarium Wood - MediumJust note that it does say random picking, I did think it would be at least similar to the pic above, ie a "branch" grouping, and mine was like a log on its side. But saying that, I put it in my tank anyway and it looks great.

Although the base had to be reattached before it was put in my tank it looks great with it sitting in 3 inches of substrate and is 2 inches from the top. Good value.

I just recived my Driftwood today, and it is in wonderfull shape. The shape is so unquie to each peice and it's going to look wonderfull in my tank.

Petco Acetabularia Betta Aquarium Plant

Petco Acetabularia Betta Aquarium PlantThe colors are really nice and look bright under LED lights. The plant is soft and I don't worry about my betta's safety. The reason I gave it four stars is the glue is everywhere and stringy. I had to peel a lot off before putting it in my tank.

This little plant is one of the best I've ever owmed. because the material is so light, the flowers float and fully open without getting tangled.

Great size, doesn't float, fits great in my 10 gallon tank. Overall, great product and I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

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.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Bak Pak

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Bak PakThis skimmer does what it's suppose to do. It takes a 3-5 days to break in, but once it does you'll be satisfied. It is pretty big, need atleast a 20" tall tank. The accela pump is a bit loud, but not too loud. I would recommend buying the pre skimmer and bubble trap.

Petco 10" Aquarium Net

Petco 10' Aquarium NetGranted, I'm not using the nets that I purchased on traditional fish tanks. Instead, I use them to clear floating debri in my horses' water tanks. The netting so far seems to be holding up to the repeated usage. What I find lacking is strength in the wire frame. On all three nets that I bought, the wire frames are easy to bend and distort. The wire is not as stiff as previous nets I have had. In that respect, I'm a bit disappointed with the product ... but not to the extent that I wouldn't buy them again.

Zoo Med betta House 2 Gallon Television Style Black

Zoo Med betta House 2 Gallon Television Style BlackI just got this today, but I am already happy with it. I got it for my betta as an upgrade from a smaller tank, which was very pretty. It is pleasing to look at, though not as nice as my old one, and it is a great size. I cannot comment on durability as of now. However, if I find any problems with my "betta house" I will come back and update.

Eshopps AEO21025 2-Pack Jellyfish Black for Aquarium Decoration

Eshopps AEO21025 2-Pack Jellyfish Black for Aquarium DecorationWe bought these and loved them, awesome product it fooled all our friends and family they thought they were real. would buy more.

I ordered these for my at the time empty fish tank for my beta that I was getting, they were said to arrive Friday came on Thursday (which is even better since I got Surge on Thursday). The strings are adjustable which is great because I have a 10 gallon right now and the pink was to long, but you're able to wrap the string around the glass sucker to make the string shorter and it'll be unwrapped when I get my 29 gallon tank. I don't have an additional pump, at first I thought I did need since they weren't moving, but I found out that I don't need one since my bubble wall, filter, and fish make enough movement in the water for it to move and flow. Surge loves to swim thru the tentacles and shoos away the platies when they get to close. Ive also read that a few people have an issue with them sinking, but I haven't encounter that yet, but honestly it's worth it even if they do. I'll def. be ordering more whne I get a bigger tank, hopefully I can get different colors and varying sizes.

My only real complaint is that the coloring came off, which means it went into my fish tank. I can only hope it was sucked up by the filter. Other than that I get a lot of compliments from people who think I have a real jelly fish in the tank. :)

Coralife Energy Savers ACLAF877 Deep Six Hydrometer

Coralife Energy Savers ACLAF877 Deep Six HydrometerYou will get readings that vary wildly from one reading to the other. MY LFS tested my water to be 1.025, while this hydrometer was showing 1.022 in one reading and 1.028 in another despite tapping the bubbles off the needle. You will want to buy a refractometer after you purchase this so save yourself the $10 and invest in a refractometer. Look around and you may be able to find a used one for $30 or so.

This product wore out in a month. Readings became inaccurate and hard to read, especially when the blue measurement markings wore off. It's a hydrometer, it is supposed to withstand exposure to salt water. I would not recommend this product. It is not useful, at any price.

It is totally wasteful. After a month or two I usually clean the filter cartridge.

This bio bag is unable to be reused. It simply tears apart after I rinse it off to

use it again. This maybe the only brand that makes you buy cartridges over and over.

If you want an aquarium heather that you can easity set this in NOT the one for you. If you like algebraic formulas and figuring out conversions ie taking a math test before you can set the temperature then this is the heater for you. I wish I had known that this heather was in celsius. I would have passes it by and NOT purchased it. Man bummer :( It is a pain think twice about purchasing this!!!
