Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 1/4 to 1-Inch

Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 1/4 to 1-InchPerfect for what I needed. I had trouble finding this in hardware stores. I had to connect a half inch hose to 3/8th. Seems simple enough. But had to find it here on Amazon. Fairly priced.

This item arrived quickly in outstanding condition, and does exactly what it promises. It connects different size hoses and does not leak, even after repeated movement and attachments to different devices. An outstanding value!

these require hose clamps but none are included. they should include them with the package!! Otherwise they fit the hose well.

This is a pretty straight forward product. Its pretty durable compared to others I have seen. It is what it is!

The tiered fitting is not tapered and ends up leaking no matter what is done. Very poor design that does not seal properly, even with tape under it and double clamped over. Waste of money.

Farm Innovators P-500 Premium Cast Aluminum Submergible Pond De-Icer, 500-Watt

Farm Innovators P-500 Premium Cast Aluminum Submergible Pond De-Icer, 500-WattI have a 35 gallon plastic container that I use as a patio pond. I keep a couple of goldfish in it. The Patio Pond

De-icer works well with this small container.I have had sucess with my fish surviving through the winter. I cut back my hardy plants, dropping them to the bottom of the container and they survive the winter as well without freezing. The only draw back is that the ring will get deposit build-up and needs to be cleaned peroidically.

I have had three of these heaters. They work fine for two seasons then they short and blow the GFI.

Every spring they are coverd with slime and crud that takes scrubbing with a wire brush to clean.

I need to find something that lasts.

Product does exactly what it says it does. I have been using this product for ten years in my fish pond. It keeps a small area ice free that the fish are smart enough to stay in. It does not have a built in thermostat. I turn it on when the weather is cold and off on the warm days.

At this price I could not recommend product; I got only

one year of service. The item looked well made except

that there seemed to be nothing to prevent water from

infiltrating unit where cord entered handle.

This year I'll look for a less expensive solution so

that yearly replacement won't be so painful.

Crypto Pro

Crypto ProI purchased this because my fish caught velvet from a bad shipment of fish. Yes, I've learned my lesson and will quarantine from now on. Another mistake I made is thinking this stuff would be safe for my scaleless fish. All my scaleless fish died after using this product. Copper actually hurt them less! I did remove all traces of copper before I added this medication. My scaled fish never improved and continued to die while covered in gold dust. I won't bother with this product again since it has health risks to humans and never helped my fish.

It is too strong for discus. I stopped us it after 3 days. Discus had shock. It is not for discus.

Hikari 17.6-Ounce Staple Floating Pellets for Koi and Pond Fish, Mini

Hikari 17.6-Ounce Staple Floating Pellets for Koi and Pond Fish, MiniGot these for my medium koi and large comets, and they eat them readily. These are floating pellets, about 4mm in diameter. They feed cleanly, because there is very minimal broken up or ground particles in the product, and so the pond does not get contaminated with small uneaten food powder that rots.

I just wish this was a super saver eligible product, and I would be all over it.

Easy Balance Water Conditioner

Tetra 77140 Tetra EasyBalance PLUS, 16.90-Ounce, 500-mlThis is an excellent additive for freshwater aquariums. It keeps PH at 7.0, reduces Nitrates that can usually only be removed via water changes, and removes phosphate which encourages algae growth. It also produces CO2 which is helpful for the growth of aquatic plants. However it is important that you have proper water aeration when using this chemical additive because of these CO2 producing properties. Another major thing is that this product does NOT remove chlorine or chloramines from water when performing water changes. Also it is important to note that by using this product it does not excuse you from not having to perform water changes. You still should change 15-20% of the water in the tank every 2-3 weeks depending on how many fish are stocked in the tank relative to its size.

This product will cloud the water for a few hours after it is introduced to the tank water. This cloudiness should disappear quickly as long as you have good water filtration and movement! And again make sure you have good water aeration like air stones in the tank as this could cause the fish to not get enough oxygen.

From Tetra's Site:

Easy Balance® Detailed Description of Individual Product Features

Carbonate Hardness Additive The appropriate amount of carbonate hardness is added to the aquarium water compensating for KH losses, which occur as a result of nitrification.

pH Stabilization Stabilizes the pH value on a sufficiently high level, preventing a drop to biologically harmful levels (pH crash) and produces a certain amount of CO2 preventing excessive pH values.

Phosphate Removing Effect In a standard aquarium (30gal) the phosphate concentration is reduced to zero during most of the 6-month period.

New Feature: Nitrate Reduction with Nitraban(tm) Serves as a nutrient for denitrifying bacteria that consume the oxygen releasing nitrogen from the aquarium. On average the nitrate concentration will drop below 40mg/l.

Other Features Include Production of Carbon Dioxide, the addition of trace elements and a replenishment of vitamin B

*****************************

Let me add to this review that for all the people posting that this product doesn't work or that it killed their fish, they are the ones at fault! And the yellow water issue? Yes this product will cause the water in the tank to turn temporarily yellow. If there is extremely poor filtration and water movement, the water will stay yellow.

I have 2 aquariums and when they need to be clean I add this to the water. EasyBalance with Nitraban helps keep my aquariums clean and clear and I was having a problem finding this product at my local pet store, and other pet stores in my area.

I came to Amazon just to check to see if they carried this product. Much to my surprise,

they did, and for half the price a pet store would have charged me. Even the shipping added to the order, was still half. In the future, I plan to order this product from Amazon.

Again, as with my other orders from Amazon, my order was here in less than a week.

I have been using this stuff for about a year. It is the best product if you don't want to change water and have to reset your water chemistry every 30-45 days. A 50% water change every 3-6 months is all you'll have to do for the life of your tank. I swear by the stuff. I did have an ugly tank from one bad bottle last summer, but it was easily fixable. In fact, I just bought the last 13 bottles available in my size so I won't have to go to the pet store for anything but plants.

ANY product that reduces water changes is great! I put it in once a week and it reduces the nitrogen over night. I have very little alge growth. The water is crystal clear.What more can I say? I love this product!

This product did exactly what it said it does. The fish all seemed to liven up as soon as this was in the water, so I assume everything balanced out fairly quickly.

MARDEL Maracide 2oz

MARDEL Maracide 2ozI couldn't find maracide anywhere in town, so I was happy to see it listed on Amazon. It works great when treating bettas that have velvet or other protozoan-type afflictions. I used 3 cycles of maracide for velvet disease, along with maracyn to fight any infection. It was well packaged and I received this product promptly.

Lee's Round Dual-Action Foam Filter Replacement Pad

Lee's Round Dual-Action Foam Filter Replacement PadI use these filters for my new born guppy fry 1 gallon tanks. They don't keep the tanks clean for long so I have to change the water out and/or suck the excess excrement and uneaten food product out on a regular basis. I like them because they help oxygenated my fry tanks and are inexpensive. When the fry are sizable enough I relocated the ones I decide to keep into my bigger tanks with charcoal filters. They work great for my use. I purchased some on Amazon and a few at different local pet stores. I prefer to order from Amazon.

API Stress Zyme, 16-Ounce

API Stress Zyme, 16-OunceI use this product regularly in 2 freshwater aquariums. This is a busy household and we don't do as many water changes as we should. So I keep both an under gravel and an over the tank filter and use stress zyme every other week or so. One of the tanks has fancy goldfish, and one goldfish has grown to carp size and he eats a lot and messes a lot. There is a more delicate fish in the goldfish tank that starts to suffer when I need to add stress zyme, long before the tank actually looks dirty. Once I add the stress zyme he perks right up. The second tank is bala sharks with a red tail and an angel. This tank seems healthy, but I throw in some stress zyme when I do the other tank because its a huge tank and its hard to vacuum. And the tanks stay nice with only about 6 water changes per year. We change the filters at about the same rate, but need to add tap water every week (the tanks are great humidifiers, they never get moldy like a real humidifier does!) Anyway, I recommend this product to anyone with a fish tank but no time or desire to do weekly water changes.

If you are encountering issues with managing turtle waste, this is a great addition to a canister filter. I have a turtle in a 45-gallon tank with a Rena FilstarXP2. Turtle waste still floated to the top and became a major hassle to clean. The problem became worse and I was concerned for my turtle who sleeps on a underwater dock near the surface. After visiting the Rena site, it directed me to#Performance. It suggested this bacteria supplement. Since using it, the water became clear again and no waste floated at the top. I have no need to clean the tank except for changing half of the water half-way through the month and a full change at the end of the month. And Steve is happy to swim to the surface again!

Python No Spill Fish Tank Flow Switch

Python No Spill Fish Tank Flow SwitchCheap brittle plastic makes these components very fragile so as long as you're careful not to drop them on hard surfaces or apply to much pressure to the joints, you'll be fine.

The unit would not shut off water completely when in closed position. It is totally useless. I may either try to put in a washer to totally seal the valve, or purchase another one hoping the first one is defective.

Buy Python No Spill Fish Tank Flow Switch Now

When I first bought my python water changer I was very happy with it. But after the second fitting in the sink attachment broke it got expensive. I looked up this problem and only wish I had read the other reviews more carefully. It's fragile and so on the second replacement I always kept a loop of hose on the sink to ease the strain on the weak part. Still it broke. You have to buy the whole faucet unit each time so 90% of the good parts are trashed in the end with the essential piece. Currently I am working on making a homemade version from instructions on the net. All told it's a decent concept with one piece turning it into a disposable, expensive and wasteful product.

I have also noticed that two other companies are using similar units in their products. So use caution.
