Ultralife Reef ProduCounts AULXTERM X-Terminator Mantis Shrimp Trap
Don from Minnesota, 13 year reef tank owner.After two months of trying to catch the little booger with a home made bottle trap and a store loaned "tube" trap, I broke down and ordered this thing. I have my live rock zip tied together with corals on it, so I didn't want to break it apart. I had see the shrimp in the other two traps only once and he squirted out like it was nothing before I could even get to the string to haul his little butt out of there. With this trap, I caught him the second day I tried it (the first day I had not set the sensitivity low enough). After two months of trying, two days later I had him! Woohoo!
The nice features of this trap is that it is tinted which makes the little guy not so shy about going in, but you can still see into it to know if he is there or your bait s still in there. The pressure release is adjustable and simple to operate. The door snaps shut once he is inside and locks the little guy in. It also holds water so it doesn't drain when you pull it out. Unlike other reviewers, my trap came in without issues, even though it was just put in a padded envelope and tossed in the mail. So, I am THRILLED with this trap!
The bad news.... I'm still hearing snapping. :( Glad the trap is re-useable.

Had gotten some new live rock for my reef tank and guess what? Yep a mantis shrimp came along eating my critters, so I tried this and by golly it worked! I took a little piece of fish and put the trap in the tank and the varmint was in there. Just make sure you rinse the trap several time to get the salt of and it won't corrode. At least mine haven't.Read Best Reviews of Ultralife Reef ProduCounts AULXTERM X-Terminator Mantis Shrimp Trap Here

Sicce Green Reset 25 Pressurized Pond Filter with UV
The filter out of the box seemed very solid, I was impressed by well it seemed to be made.
I hooked it up in minutes and had it working. However the UV was not working, I figured it just came lose during shipping so I un-screwed 3 screws and sure enough it did. The best thing is there is a clear peep hole at the top you just look at the top of the filter to see if its working, great idea. After reseating it I have not had an issue.
Now after about 5 days my pond has cleared up, and I am very impressed, the water flow from my 800Gal pump is great, the ease of use and cleaning I am glad I spent the extra money on this, as it was well worth it.
Update...The UV light for what ever reason burned out after about 3 to 4 weeks since I had it running, (good thing
they had this nice "peep" hole so you can see it. I contacted the vendor and with in a couple hours they already indicated they would get me another one. This vendor is outstanding, for thier support and product.
By the way, even though the light was out for a bit of time, this pond still remains clear and the best its look since I dug it quite a few years back. The filter is outstanding, the service is outstanding. This makes me and my life very happy :).

I bought this for my betta fish and was so sad when it arrived and was too small for him to swim through. It was very nice looking, but I returned it for something that my betta could hide in and swim through.The castles are slightly yellower than they consistently appear in photos online. They are working pretty well, however.The company's service was excellent when it came to the castles, which showed up quickly and I got what I ordered. I recommend the castles but must rate the company a C+.
However, I ordered a blue critter keeper from a lot of 10 or 20 blue critter keepers from the same company but on e-bay, and they sent me a bright orange critter keeper, and when I complained they asked them to send another blue critter keeper but the CR person checked it, and they had sent a different color. They said that despite advertising a lot of blue critter keepers they in fact had no blue ones. She refunded my money, but the only other thing she did to fix it was say they were changing the wording of their ads.
However, they do seem to have upgraded their customer service from the complaints I've gotten that products showed up late or not at all and they couldn't get a response. I did find customer service prompt and attentive.

Lee's Super Algae Scrubber w/Handle for Glass Tanks - Coarse
A few of my tanks get indirect sunlight so for those it's a weekly effort and I'll be buying more of these so I have one for most of my tanks. Which BTW, is important especially if you keep a variety of different species in seperate aquariums. Cross contamination has long been linked to the dreaded toxic tank syndrome so best to have gear that's dedicated to one specific tank.does the job of scrubbing algae nothing more nothing less. Algae doesn't stick to the pad unless your tank is dry if it's wet the algae just washes off the pad and back into the tank.

It is a decently priced cleaner, but the handle is on the shorter end. It does a good job in my glass tank. I still end up having my hands wet if I clean all the way to the bottom of the glass though. If the handle had a length adjustment of sorts that would have been perfect!Read Best Reviews of Lee's Super Algae Scrubber w/Handle for Glass Tanks - Coarse Here
Great product never broke on me, still use it to this day. Brought it at a great price also thanksWant Lee's Super Algae Scrubber w/Handle for Glass Tanks - Coarse Discount?
The length of the handle is more than adequate for any aquarium 16 inches in height or less and quite sturdy. It cleans the glass well and is easy to clean the after use.Monday, March 17, 2014

I purchased this item because it was FAR cheaper than the brand name for Therapure 201M Replacement UV Bulb. It works as well (if not better) than the brand name itself. I give it Five Stars because I'm beyond impressed with it's capabilities for the price of it.This lamp was an exact and perfect fit for a 5 Watt UV-C lamp used in a THERAPURE 101M Electronic Air Purifier. And the price was more reasonable here (bought 3 for spares and got free shipping). Everyone gives different part numbers for these UV bulbs so you think you have to buy from the appliance manufacture. You don't. This 5-watt lamp will fit any appliance with a 5-watt UV-C lamp.Want Purely Products PUVH2305 5-Watt UV-C Germicidal Ultraviolet Replacement Bulb Discount?
My air cleaner is functional again. I never noticed that my old unit didn't have a light. Now with the new UV light, I am confident that it is working properly now.Replaced original UV lamp perfectly.If it blinks and sputters on first startup, don't assume it's defective.
Several minutes are required for the mercury to vaporize before the bulb can do its thing.
Bought two.

Coralife (Energy Savers) ACL01655 Luft Pump
Not too loud. I currently have the pump running some sponge filters in my bedroom tanks. My wife and I haven't had any difficulties sleeping.
Solid Construction:
I took my pump apart and had a look at what was inside. The design is simple and made with solid components that are built to last. The casing is of durable and thick plastic. The diaphragm will unavoidably wear out but instead of throwing away the whole pump like you would with cheaper units you can buy a replacement diaphragm (that includes 1 or 2 air filters). I've had my pump for about two years and am confident that it will last many many more years to come (provided that I replace the diaphragm and air filter as needed).
Adjustable rheostat:
The rheostat adjusts the output of air by controlling the amount of electricity that powers the pump as opposed to using an inline valve on the air hose. The use of a rheostat conserves electrictiy and avoids putting unnecessary strain on the diaphragm and the premature failure that would result.
Versatility:
With 7.0 PSI I've been able to make a variety of different set ups that otherwise would have required at least 3 lesser pumps. Having one pump instead of several reduces a clutter of hoses.
Overall I'm very happy with this pump. I wish it wasn't so expensive. But then again, when you look at the long term, it's not too expensive.This was so noisy, that after making a video of it compared to the Tetra Wisper 60, and the Rena 400, I returned it. It also didn't move as much air as the other two pumps. Which pump (much to my surprise) was the quietest? The inexpensive Tetra Whisper 60.
I have a 70 gallon tank with a 43" Marine Land bubble stick burried at the very buttom under about 1-1/2" of gravel/rock.
You can watch all 3 of my noise comparison videos on youtube. They are listed by the name of the pump, or just look up my user name.

Had my first one of these for about 14 years! When it FINALLY quit, I bought the exact same one again. Thanks Coralife I've had many air pumps from whisper to tetra to well to make it short I'll never buy another, these have apparently been around for 30+ years and keep on pumping. This is the only pump I have ever had that does not restrict the air flow to decrease the amount of air output but instead has an electric regulator that makes this as quiet as you could possibly want at the sacrifice of some bubbles or tons of bubbles at the sacrifice of some hum.Thursday, March 6, 2014
Acurel LLC Waste and Debris Reducing Media Pad, Aquarium and Pond Filter Accessory, 10-Inch by 18-I
These are thicker and seem to hold their shape better. I traced around the filter pan and cut two new filters out of one piece. I'll use the other one when needed. My aquarium is looking good, so I have no complaints.Its floss, they had fast shipping. Great deal in the long run, I'm going to use this instead of the replacement packs.... Should work just fine.Am impressed with this product. Will continue using it in my freshwater tanks. This company has been in business for decades and really has a good filter product.I've been using the Accurel media pad in my Marina S20 filter for a couple of months. When cut to size, it easily slips into the filter's slots. It is stiff, which makes it very easy to slide into place. It also seems to have a tighter weave than other media pads, so it catches even the tiniest specs of debris. I slip it into the skinny intake slot so that the water has an initial filter before it hits the biomax and Purigen sections. In the far section of the filter, I use an Accurel Ammonia Reducing pad. The water in the fish tank remains perfectly clear and the fish remain healthy. Because of the stiffness and the density, I much prefer the Accurel white media to the standard blue and white style.I bought this for my ehiem 2028 and works great. I little on the stiff side so make sure you use good scissors when trimming.

Mardel CopperSafe Fish Treatment (Freshwater/Saltwater), 16-Ounce
Buy Mardel CopperSafe Fish Treatment (Freshwater/Saltwater), 16-Ounce Now
I have been using copper safe for years because it's such a great value in my opinion. It lasts and works for 30 days, so you can add fish to the aquarium while the tank is being treated to ensure you are not bringing more problems into the tank. I also like it because it removes chlorine and the filters do not have to come out as long as the filters with carbon are older than 5 days. The larger size it the best value for me as I have many larger tanks and the special design in the bottle makes it easier to measure and keep track. Although it is blue in color, it does NOT change the color of the water in the tank. Copper safe gets rid of a lot of diseases for your fish especially the most common ICK or white spot disease. I hope this helps my fellow aquarium enthusiests, Enjoy! :)Read Best Reviews of Mardel CopperSafe Fish Treatment (Freshwater/Saltwater), 16-Ounce Here
This product is effective but lacks a bunch of information. I used this product throughout a 2 week ich battle. This medicine is very effective, combined with salt, heat treatment and 25% water changes. The white spots on my tetras were disappearing every 2-3 days until the 2nd week it was all gone.This product claims not to affect your biological filter or alter your water levels. When using this, my water levels never changed and my tank remained perfectly cycled. It only raised my pH a little bit. It is still a good idea to test and monitor your water during treatment.
Copper is a STRONG medication, be very careful not to overdose. Before starting your treatment it is best to get some paper and record the start of your treatment and how much you have been dosing your aquarium.
You will want to do a 25% water change before the treatment. Once accomplished, Use half the recommended dose of copper and monitor your fish for atleast an hour before adding more. If they start showing signs of stress, immediately do a water change but if they are acting normal use the full recommended dose. It is important to use the full dosage if possible to maximize the strength of the medication for killing ich parasites which will be a pain to get rid of the longer they stay alive.
Once you notice a couple white spots disappearing, it's very important to do a 25% water change to remove the ich in its free swimming stage. Don't forget to replace the copper medicine each water change.
To maximize effectiveness, you should turn up the heat slowly 1-2 degrees every hour until you reach a temperature of 85-88 degrees. If your fish are gasping for air the temp is too high. Add 1 Tablespoon of aquarium salt per 10 gallons of water will also help your fish relax and breath properly during treatment.
Warning: Do not use salt if your fish are scaleless. That goes for catfish, loaches etc. (Do research on your fish)
To those who read this, please let me know if my review was helpful at all. Thanks!
