AquaticLife Internal Mini Skimmer 115 - up to 30 gal. - 3 in x 3.25 in x 10.5 in

AquaticLife Internal Mini Skimmer 115 - up to 30 gal. - 3 in x 3.25 in x 10.5 inAfter the breaking in period I have been able to get this skimmer to produce reasonably dry, dark skimmate. I don't have to adjust it much and it is surprisingly tolerant of small changes in the water level. It is working well for me in the refugium of a 30 gallon setup that I did not need aggressive skimming for. I don't notice too much of a microbubble problem but I don't have this in the main tank anyway. I think most people looking for a small skimmer for a nano system would be pleased with this product. The only downside is that the water inlet is not near the surface to help with surface skimming, but most skimmers overlook this.

I would like to add that although the description says "hang on tank or suction" it should more accurately say hang in tank or suction as it is an internal, submersible type skimmer.

This is a great bargain. One of the few times you get more than what you paid for. It took about three days to get some green skimmate. After about a week it really kicked in and started getting real dark green skimmate with brown gunk. I use it on my 30 gal saltwater tank. It does release micro bubbles into the tank but it lessens once the unit breaks in. I have had it for two weeks now and it has really cleaned up my water. I would without hesitation recommend this to a friend. It came fully assembled. When it arrived all I had to do was install the suction cup brackets and the HOT bracket. Had it up and running in less than 5 minutes.

It's an incredible Mini Skimmer; I use it in a 20 gal. aquarium and now I have less algae and healthy fishes.

The collector cup receive yellow to brown water that indicates Skimmer work perfectly.

works GREAT! only took a couple days to get a good foam going and is working better and better each day! i was able to squeeze it into the back of my 29g biocube in the overflow which is GREAT...especially after reading the bad reviews on the oceanic skimmer!! i had to take out the pre filter but i moved it on top of the bio balls and i also have a bag of chemi-pure charcoal on the top of that which keeps my water crystal clear!! now all thats left to do is watch and wait for my nitrates to start dropping!

Want AquaticLife Internal Mini Skimmer 115 - up to 30 gal. - 3 in x 3.25 in x 10.5 in Discount?

I bought this skimmer for use in a 10 gallon sump for my 29 gallon nano reef. My previous skimmer was just too big and took up valuable real estate in my sump. This tiny skimmer not only frees up more space but imo outperforms my previous setup as well. I saw one reviewer who complained about the adjustment knob being smooth and the only notch in it facing the collection cup. well either they received a defective unit or they have the flow knob turned in a complete 360. the knob is smooth but mine turns with no issues and the notch is pointing outward so you have a spot to grip. My only complaint with the unit is the air intake does make a slurping sound, not incredibly loud but I guess I have an issue with irritating sounds! This is easily fixed for anyone who is also annoyed by this. take a very small piece of filter foam, using tweezers or something else that will fit and insert the foam into the mouth of the intake tube......ding ding, no more slurping and air flow/reaction chamber bubble output is not affected at all. Now the skimmer is nearly silent.

Reef Phytoplankton, 500 mL / 17 fl. oz.

Reef Phytoplankton, 500 mL / 17 fl. oz.I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS AND MY PHYTOPLANKTON CLAMS ARE DOING GREAT ON THIS PRODUCT. I WILL ALWAYS USE THIS PRODUCT.

I am not sure if this product really does anything positive for my filter feeders and coral, but it hasn't harmed anything. I have seen a slight increase in algae growth since using this product, likely due to the added nutrients being dumped in the tank, but I can't be positive this product was the cause.

Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium OrnamentMarineland Eclipse 12 Gallon tank, newly setup. The statue will look much nicer with moss and algae and more plants growing around it.

I love this ornament! I got it for my 20 gallon tank, and it's awesome. It's very nicely made and not cheap-looking, like so many other aquarium ornaments. Although the amazon.com description does not include this info, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this ornament comes with a vent to hook it up to an air filter. However, you will have to provide an airstone (as well as the air line and air pump, of course), because there is no airstone connected to the air vent. Overall, I'm thrilled with this piece and I'm glad it was available here, because I haven't seen it in any stores at all.

I really like this. It very realistic and looked perfect when my plants started filling in around it. I attached an air hose and with a small, slow bubble flow it attracts compliments from all my visitors. The only caveat I have is that when cleaning I bumped the nose and a small patch of the outer skin came off, revealing the plastic underneath. Right on the nose! But it didn't look too bad so I left it and it now has a light dusting of algae which is covering the 'blemish' on her nose, making it look even more like old stone. I'm not sure whether I was too rough or it's a fault in manufacturing but other reviewers seem to appreciate the high quality of it's construction and otherwise it been fine.

Aqua Tech Fish Aquarium Magnetic Algae Remover

Aqua Tech Fish Aquarium Magnetic Algae RemoverI bought this magnet at a big box store for about half the price Amazon sells it for. I figured if it didn't work, I wouldn't be out much money. I use it on the little patches of algae that show up in between major monthly cleanings and the more minor water changes I make. I have three fantail goldfish in a 20 gallon glass tank and algae can build up fast. This magnet works better than I expected. It wipes these spots away instantly and keeps the tank looking great! The other review noted it didn't work on acrylic but I can attest to it's effectiveness on glass. This would not be the appropriate method to clean a lot of algae or thicker algae, as that speaks to a different issue that likely is due simply to poor maintenance or even an ill fish. But for "spot cleaning" I would definitely recommend this. Plus it is intriguing enough and simple enough for my young children to want to take part. I just set up the inner magnet and they drag it around with the outer and their hands get nowhere near the water. Definitely has my positive recommendation!

I bought this from a local store at a very cheap price thinking it could be a quick fix to scrubbing off some tough algae spots in my acrylic, hexagon aquarium that I cannot reach with my plastic-handle acrylic scraper. The Aquatech scraper's pads are like a soft felt pad and was only able to remove some soft algae, but not the more coarse algae that is more prevalent in my reef tank. I'm going to spend a little more next time & get the Mag-Float cleaner instead.

Penn Plax Tank Terrace Master Kit

Penn Plax Tank Terrace Master KitThe product that I received was not what the picture looked like. It is brown with no other colors or plants. The base of the unit is small. It is made of cheap plastic, and not very stable. I decided just to throw it away, due to the cost of shipping it back. I decided just to purchase real aquarium rocks that have different colors, it also was cheaper than the junk plastic that I got.

We purchased these and washed them well, using them in our tank almost immediately! I loved the idea, and the tank looked great. But sadly, within 3 weeks to a month, the suction cups included in the package began to give out. We tried washing them clean, but they will not stay stuck longer than an hour or so. Our cichlids were sad to lose their hidey holes we had built them, and we were sad to lose the levels. This product is best used in a terrarium as opposed to an aquarium.

API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 16-Ounce

API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 16-OunceI have been using this product for about 10 years and I love it. I have tried a few other water conditioners but my tanks always just seam to be healthier when I use this product. I highly recommend it :-)

I have relied on this product to pre-condition water for my tank for about 5 years.

This vendor is great fast shipment, well packed, ahead of time.

Two of my fish had their fins damaged by an aggressive tank mate. While this is a nice water conditioner, I bought it with specific hopes that it would aid in my fishes tail fins regrowth and it has done just that. I was very upset at the damage and didn't know how well mother nature alone would take care of it and this stress coat fish and tap water conditioner has definitely delighted me with it's efficiency. Pay close attention to the dosing. Extra size dose is recommended for fin damage.

Excellent all-in-one water conditioner that tackles both chlorine and chloramines. I've used this product for both inside aquariums and my 200 gallon outdoor pond. Easy to use and a little goes a long way. Literally, it provides instant water conditioning.

Want API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 16-Ounce Discount?

There are a great deal of water conditioners out there on the market for the fish tank. This is one that I've used regulary since 1999. I use it to condition my water for water changes, topping off the tank and when setting up a new tank. It removes both chlorine and chloramine from tap water. It also reduces fish stress and heals any damaged tissue, torn fins, and skin wounds. It also replaces the natural secretion of slime that is interrupted by handling, shipping, fish fighting, or other forms of stress and reduces the susceptibility to disease and infection. It is a great product, which I have no trouble recommending to others. I usually buy the larger size, but when in a pinch I buy this size.

Instant Ocean-Aquarium Systems AIOFP16 Fancy Springeri Mat Aquarium Decorative Plant

Instant Ocean-Aquarium Systems AIOFP16 Fancy Springeri Mat Aquarium Decorative PlantArrived in new condition. I haven't had any new fry lately. That's the main reason I purchased this product. They need somewhere to hide from the larger fish. I'm sure it will work just fine.

I bought this product to place in my 75 gallon aquarium/terrarium that my turtle lives in. He absolutely loves it, and spends hours up on it basking. Great product, easy to cut and place wherever you want it in your aquarium, and nice big size.

TOM Aquarium Oxygen Stone 5-pcs

TOM Aquarium Oxygen Stone 5-pcsThese oxygen stones are great. Being a college student and all, I need to have some way of taking care of my fish during holiday breaks, long trips home, moving from dorm to apartment, etc. With these oxygen stones, I can take my fish outta their aquarium and into a travel-sized one and bring them with me whenever I'm traveling for long periods of time. It is great to be able to bring my fish with me and not have to worry about someone watching them or feeding them or anything. I bought a travel aquarium (with a handle and a light) and use these stones, They do last a long time. I mean when it says a month, it lasts a month. again make sure you put in one per fish. I ran out of stones and then carelessly made the mistake of using one stone for two fish, for about a month and a half of course my fish got sick. If your fish are large, you might want to drop in an extra stone or two. Again, great. I do reccomend. They're life savers, literally :) !!

These tablets are great and really increase the quality of the water in small fish tanks with no filter. I use one tablet in a small tank with a Betta Fish and the water has stayed clear and the fish happy for several months. Highly recommend!!!

These are perfect for fish that can't handle the current an airstone makes, but still need oxygenated water. They send up a bubble every minute or so, so it's gentle for fish that can't tolerate a current. They're also good to keep on hand in the event that your airstone breaks or a power outtage stops it from working. I definetely reccommend them!

The product falsely advertises that it keeps the tank clean for 30 days......more like 3 days. Before using these tablets, I used to clean my 1gallon fish tank ever 2 days, but now, with these tablets, it a whopping 3 days. You only get 5 tablets for ten dollars and I've had to use 2 tablets at a time since I have to little 2" tropical fish (1 tablet per fish). Never again!!

My fish and snails are very happy with the extra oxygen. These are very useful if you don't like loud filters or have a smaller tank.

We just bought a 55 gallon aquarium and it came with 2 small packets of this stuff. We used them and quickly realized we would need a LOT of this in the future. I always check Amazon for prices and and reviews and ordered this bottle. I couldn't believe the size of it when it arrived. It is HUGE!!!! Well worth the money. We purchased a few other good deals so we could use the super shipper saving, which made this an even better deal. We saw a bottle in a pet store that was half this size and similar in price. Glad we ordered from Amazon!

Very cute. Bought it for the 10 gallon tank. Our baby Pleco(sucking fish) loves it. He went right into the hole in the middle where he is happily hanging upside down. Great product.

I have a male Crown Tail Betta, he is my only pet and he is pretty spoiled. I bought him a new tank and wanted to give him new decorations.

This fits great in his new tank and he loves to rest on the top of it and the inside of it.

I also have Como Aquarium Fish Tank Blue Silicone Mini Sea Anemone Ornament that I put a little in front of the opening of the ship, and my Betta loves to snuggle up in the anemone while resting inside the ship.

Very happy with this purchase.

Aquatic Fundamentals Black Scroll Aquarium Stand

Aquatic Fundamentals Black Scroll Aquarium StandAnytime you buy a product in this price range you worry a bit about possible quality issues. Well, no problems here. The quality of the materials and finish of the stand are excellent, and assembly was a snap.

I was a bit concerned by the "1 to 3 week" shipping estimate, but once again I was pleasantly surprised when I received the product in only 5 days.

I definitely recommend this stand for anyone who is looking for a simple/solid 10 gallon aquarium stand.

Its small, decorative and does the job. Easy installation too! Looks gorgeous in my living room and is very strong. It holds my fish tank that is 30 gallon

It will last for years I am sure. It arrived much faster than the 3 plus weeks I was quoted. The only problem I had was one hole was drilled a little bit off. I had to apply pressure to help the holes line up. Other than that, no issues and it is very sturdy. I would buy this again!
