Coralife Energy Savers ACL76004 Water Pump 100gpd Ro Unit

Coralife Energy Savers ACL76004 Water Pump 100gpd Ro UnitAfter initial assembly, there was a small leak on the back. I wanted to wall mount the unit, but the leak prevented that. I worked with an ESU (the manufacturer) support engineer to resolve the problem. I cracked a part following his instructions, which made the leak worse. The engineer sent me a replacement part that did not fit. At this point, I gave up on asking the manufacturer for help.

Finding a replacement part that fit was a major hassle as the instructions don't include any sort of part list. Finally I located the part and replaced it. No sooner was that leak fixed than the increased pressure (from no longer leaking) caused another part of the unit to leak. By now the filter is out of warranty and I have to set it up on top of the washing machine so water doesn't go everywhere. Every time I use it, I'm tempted to throw it in the trash.

Instruction are not very good. Drawings are fine but don't clearly show things such as which way filter units go into the canisters, or how to set it up for an open reservoir. The instructions need to explain more about how the unit actually works, such as, which valves do what, etc. This information was not available at any of the web sites I could find. This unit does not include enough tubing, or tell where to purchase longer lengths, or what type of tubing to use. I had to purchase more tubing from a local hardware store. It took a lot of research and improvision and I had to buy a special float valve to set up to store water for aquarium use. This unit is advertised as being used for aquarium setups and is sold by aquarium vendors. It should explain how to set up for aquarium use, but, does not. Unit seems to work fine, now, but, I am very disappointed that it took so much effort to set up, and I am an equipment maintenance technician who deals with all sorts of complex equipment and knows how to install highly technical stuff. I would not call this highly technical, but, the instructions give very little help in understanding this piece of equipment and how it works. This unit, for this reason, gets a low rating from me. I purchased this unit because it has a high daily output and uses a pressure pump, which reduces water wastage.

Tetra ReptoFilter Disposable Filter Cartridges, Medium, 3 Pack

Tetra ReptoFilter Disposable Filter Cartridges, Medium, 3 PackI own five filters that use these cartridges and they work very well, however I found that if you buy the Tetra 26160 Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridge, Unassembled, Medium, 12-Pack you're going to save $$$.

You can reuse the plastic frames (recycle, recycle) from these cartridges. You'll end up paying less than a buck a piece for the Unassembled ones!

They look and work the same.

They are both manufactured by the same company, Tetra.

Prime also!

These are too expensive, no matter WHERE you get them from. Sure, they are much less expensive online than at the pet store, but if you get the "build it yourself" pack, you will save a LOT of money compared to these things

These filters are perfect. We have a red eared slider and they are pretty messy. These filters do a great job of keeping his home clean. I've ordered them before and not had a problem yet. The only thing I would like to see is that you get three in a pack. Our tank has 2 filters so we have to order two boxes at a time. That gives us 3 changes. I would rather see 4 filters in a box. I would have to order less often. With free shipping they cost less than at the pet stores or Wal-Mart.

4" Magical Mini-Castle Resin Aquarium Ornaments

4' Magical Mini-Castle w/Red Roof Aquarium OrnamentI also overestimated the size of 4" and it is really tiny. I love it though. It's such a nice piece and it has so much depth and dimension and looks so cool underwater. I'm currently waiting for one of the larger Penn Plax castles to arrive and I think the two of them together will look so cool in my 20 gallon betta tank. Definitely a good buy!

My castle looks beautiful in my tank, soon acheter new accessories with this vendor, I recommend are good quality, thanks.

Zoo Med Nano 501 External Canister Filter

Zoo Med Nano 501 External Canister FilterWas looking for a small external to better filter my heavily stocked and planted 6 gallon Fuval Edge. This 501 will actually fit in the space behind where the HOB filter sits out of sight. The flow rate is perfect and not overly strong for little tanks and little fishes Perfect!

My main complaint was with the hanger that came with this. I had to modify it with extension arms for my rattan clad 7.5 gallon hex tank while it's main rival, the TOM Rapid Mini's hanger was perfect. The hoses and intake/outtake accessories that come with the 501 are far superior to that of the Rapid Mini and will accommodate a wide variety of aquariums. This canister also has a large sponge filter for final stage filtering while the TOMs has none. I did not care for the 501's non-reusable carbon/bag and replaced it with a reusable Seapora 3X5" filter bag (fits perfectly) using Seachem Renew which I prefer over carbon filtration in planted tanks. Since this filter uses 120V AC, a GFCI is mandatory. Besides the hanger issue, the instructions advise to put the ceramic filter media above the carbon bag while the picture on the box shows the opposite.

Do note that this filter costs about 50% more than the TOM but that's due to the Zoo Med being made in Italy while the TOM is made in China. BTW, I own both but after buying new hoses and supporting parts for the TOM, the final cost was about the same for both.

Just what it said it was. Constructed well and supplied with all the needed parts for a few different setup methods. It is also very quite.

Read Best Reviews of Zoo Med Nano 501 External Canister Filter Here

I have had this filter for about 3 weeks now, and it works well. Set up took me about 1 hour because you have to put the filter media in and cut the plastic intake and return tubes to the correct length to fit your aquarium. I used a utility knife, and it was hard to cut. My aquarium water was a touch cloudy when I started using this filter (that's why I bought it) and after letting it run for 3 days the water stayed cloudy. I had make a full water change before it cleared-up, so this filter is no miracle worker for clear water.

This is my first canister filter, and I'm pleased with the results. I've purchased two more for two of my other planted betta (halfmoon plakat) tanks. I'm hesitant to use it with my long-finned halfmoon betta tank (I don't think he could handle the current, unless I could figure out how to baffle it really well).

Hawkeye Aquariums-Aqua View Diamond Shaped Aquarium

Hawkeye Aquariums-Aqua View Diamond Shaped AquariumI bought this for my son's gold fish. It's excellent and requires little or no maintenance (change the water of course). Had this tank since the 2 gold fishes were real tiny and grown to a decent size now (9 months). I gave it a 5 star for the tank but for the price from Amazon, it's a rip off. Check out Walart, which is $9.97,

Rena Air 400 Air Pump

Rena Air 400 Air PumpTried several pumps, I own two of these pumps. I use them pump in a 55 gallon and a 46 gallon. Extrememly quite and powerful. Great purchase.

This is the most powerful quiet pump available. Hands down. Now, it's not the most powerfull available, but then again, who wants a turbine running in their house that they have to listen to all day? This pump is plenty powerful (only mildly less than the louder models) and a great choice. Believe me: I've tried them all. Pretty long lasting as well My last one kicked the bucket after 4 years of hard work.

Buy Rena Air 400 Air Pump Now

This pump was purchased to replace a VERY noisy pump (but very high output). I love the Rena 400! It is VERY quiet and puts out decent air from its two outputs. It could put a little more air out but my 135 gallon tank is 24" deep and it runs the airstones pretty well. No complaints at all from this pump!

I've never had a pump this quiet. I've had it for two months now. It really is almost silent.

Very powerfull, creates a nice curtain of bubbles, I use it with a pen-plax airstone. I bought it because of reviews that said it was very silent (the other one I have, a whisper 100 keeps me up at night so I turn it off) well it isnt, I still have to turn it off.

EcoPlus Commercial Air 3 - 35 Watts Single Outlet

EcoPlus Commercial Air 3 - 35 Watts Single OutletLots of air. The unit looks and sounds strong (it is not quiet). The manifold that came with mine leaked air badly. The seller sent another promptly that leaked a lot less (I sealed that one myself).

Time will tell if it has endurance, but I like what I see. Any pump that moves this much air can not be "quiet".

This product have been working for 10 day ,and smell good.

has a low sound, not hot too much

it is great product.

Rena Air Pump Replacement air Filter

Rena Air Pump Replacement air FilterThe filters do exactly as they are designed. Nothing special about them, they just do their job. I will buy more when I use these up.

Like most air pumps the Rena draws in air from a port at the bottom. Often people complain that their air pumps get noisy after a few months, myself included. While I run quite a few Rena 400 models, they tend to get over looked because there's so much involved in taking care of multiple tanks.Wa ter changes, Filter adjustments, replacing and or installing new lighting systems and so on.

Having these little filters on hand makes keeping your Rena as quiet as the day you first installed it.The more clogged with dust and grime these filters get the harder the diaphragm has to work. Which means more vibration and louder noise.Cotton isn't particularly effective and what is more can allow that debris into the pump chamber and really cause problems.Keep a pack or two of these replacements on hand and problem solved.

You'll notice better air flow and a quieter performance immediately . These little filters fit the Rena perfectly you just pull out the old one and pop in the new one it's effortless.Over the past thirty years I've tried about every pump there is and am partial to Rena for their excellent build quality and silent performance.

Before you consider tossing out your Rena or replacing it make sure you exchange the air filter with a new one first.

JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 200 Aquarium Air Pump

JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 200 Aquarium Air PumpI bought this air pump to go along with my sponge filter for my betta fish and it is nice and quiet!! Unlike the old filter I had I can finally sleep well!

EDIT:

so after 7 months (this happened in december), my air pump starting making loud a loud noise. I emailed the company and read the warranty paper that it came with and i would have to send $5 plus shipping and handling to the company so they could fix it.. So I'd rather just buy a brand new one. And now it's not so loud but it's barely pumping air.

I thought air pumps were powerful. This thing pumps enough air for me though so it is fine. I wish there was a control knob for air pressure, but no big deal at this price. If you need an air pump to power a few air accessories in a 10g or smaller tank, this is for you. It's very stylish and stays put very well with it's feet. It is pretty small as well, about the size of a wallet in size. I recommend it.

I never buy anything online without reading the reviews and I hate to buy something that says: be the first to review this product. Well, the reviews said this was a quiet air pump, and they were right. My old one, which came with the aquarium, was driving me crazy. But I don't even notice this one. The pet company that shipped it sent it right away and I would also recommend them.

All-In-One Filter

All-In-One FilterWas having a lot of problems with algae in our pond. 3-in-1 filter advertised with the ultra light to eliminate the algae. It took 1 week and it was gone. Very easy to clean. Would recommend this filter if you have a small pond.

After reading various reviews and checking out prices on several websites I found that Amazon had the best price for this product. I am extremely pleased with this filter and it has cleared my green water in a matter of days. My fish are happy with the various fountain sprays as well and enjoy the enaction with the water. This filter has done everything it said it would do and the customer service people were very helpful in answering several questions I had prior to and after installing the unit.

I can once again enjoy watching my fish in a clear water pond while they enterain themselves and us.

I would encourage anyone who is having algae and green water issues to buy this product so that you too can enjoy your pond better.

The All-In-One Filter is superb in functionallity and the price is reasonable and down to earth cheap, but the customer service at LIFEGUARD AQUATICS is EXCELLENT.

For some reason, the company changed the "size" reading on this product. I was able to figure out what I needed and ordered them. They are easy to exchange in the pump and less of a hassle than those bags you must fill yourself. Depending on how many critters you have in your tank, they can last anywhere from one to two weeks. I used them in a tank containing fish and frogs and they cleaned just fine. These were shipped very fast also.

Zilla 09669 Malaysian Driftwood Plant, Medium

Zilla 09669 Malaysian Driftwood Plant, Mediumvery fast shipping,product looks great in tank. make sure you cure this before you put in tank try boiling it first tag says just rinse off well but water turned orangey but wont hurt fish and it cleared up after a couple of small water changes if looking for a specific shape ask for pics of wood to be shipped

The product arrived in a rather large box that was STUFFED to the brim with packaging material (all inflatable bag packaging). That to me is a huge plus, esp. when shipping something delicate like this. The wood itself, after I uncovered it, was a little smaller than what I wasa expected, BUT only by a few inches.

The piece of wood is perfect by every means! The piece was very much an individual with its own look. It was layered with all sorts of small holes, nooks and crannies, indentions (yet no cracks! Very Solid Piece of Wood!!!!). This will look stunning in my Aquarium (that is, as soon as I'm done leeching it!) I will definatly be ordering Malaysian Driftwood from them again and I would highly recommened anyone to them.

This product shipped very quickly, within three days. Arrived in quite a large box stuffed with air packing bags. The piece was actually larger than i was expecting, for only 9 bucks. I didn't cure it just rinsed it off and it sank to the bottom immediately. It looks great and i love the dark wood it turns into when wet. I have a 65 gallon tank, and with the other two pieces i'm recieving i think it will turn out very nice!

I'll also upload a couple pictures.

Five stars so far.

Lee`s Aquarium Vegi Clip Clown Fish 1/ Card

Lee`s Aquarium Vegi Clip Clown Fish 1/ CardI've only had it for for a few hours and it works, I used cilantro...it looks cool, but the fish don't bother it. I will try romaine lettuce eventually. The suction cup works fine. I'm hoping the paint won't peel off.

-Editdont use cilantro, it will make your water cloudy. I switched to romaine lettuce and the water cleared up.(the fish dont seem to be interested in the lecttuce but the snail climb on it) Also, the price is a bit high, I spent 2.99 at Petsmart for mine. And the color hasnt faded or peeled yet.

I have purchased three. One broke with moderate use. The third seem more solid. Whaile thy work fine before they break I just cannot recommend it.

Marina Hang-On Breeding Box, Large

Marina Hang-On Breeding Box, LargeI've been using this box for my young angelfish fry for a little over a week. The accompanying instructions were easy to follow. The parts fit together very well. One needs only an air pump and tubing to set it up. By adjusting the air flow with the supplied airline tube screw the outflow water stream can be adjusted down to slow dribble so the fry aren't sucked out. There are two sizes of grates for the outflow (I'm using the narrower slotted one for now). Even as slow as I currently have the water flow, the water temperature has been stable, and the water has stayed much cleaner than I expected it would. I am satisfied with this product.

It looks great but I have been unable to use it as of now because I did not realize that, for 1) the box does not allow for you to have a lid on your aquarium and I have to keep a lid on my aquarium at all times. And 2) The large box it too big to hang off the side of my 10 gal tank which is where I planned on putting and using it.

So over all the box looks like it will be a great breeder box if you keep in mind that it is too large for the side of a 10 gal and that you can not use a lid on the main aquarium when using the breeder box.

Buy Marina Hang-On Breeding Box, Large Now

I bought this HO box to act as a mini refugium for my 10 gallon tank. I keep some fast growing plants in it I have had zero measurable nitrates since I got it. This box is designed to use a bubble lift to pull in water from the tank. This works ok but it creates a pretty loud gurgling noise and does not end up not moving much water. I like the noise and the water flow is adequate for my purposes but I don't think I would keep more than two or three small fish in it.

I would definitely NOT keep even one clown fish in this box unless it was hooked up to a powerhead. It would be easy to hook it up to a pump with some 1/2 inch tubing. This would really get the water moving. If you plan on using this as a breeding box I would strongly encourage you to be ready to do that.

The plastic is sturdy enough that I'm comfortable moving it around. It comes with a cover with a small hole in it held on by two very small slide clips. I lost one immediately but just using one is working well.

works great for my fry Would Recommend simple and ez to use. one thing i kept trying to find when buying was how far it hung off the tank i wanted to put it in back like a filter it hangs 4 inches so you will need 4 inches of clearance to hang it off the back of a tank against the wall

I have used this as a guppy fry (baby) breeder because adult guppies eat their young. This product works very well and moves water from the tank to the breeder box using an air line (air pump required, not included). I like that I can have the water constantly flowing through the breeder box so when the fry are grown up, i can just toss them into the main tank without acclimating them first. It also comes with two "gates" that can turn your breeder box into three separate sections. Each "gate" has slits so the water is constantly moving (albeit, slowly). I like that I can also use the breeder box as a refugium, where i can add plants instead of fry, cycle water through the box and have the plants absorb some ammonia, nitrites and nitrates WITHOUT HAVING THE FISH NIP AT THE PLANTS! There are also 2 small gratings included (finer and coarser) that are inserted right where the water starts to flow back into the main tank. I like to use both. One at the "Slot" where you are supposed to put one, and one after it where you just wedge it in perfect fit.

Some problems are that the dividers'/gates' slits are wide enough to let baby guppies through. they guppy fry can also swim underneath the dividers/gates. Not perfect, but i sure am glad i bought it.

NOTE: it doesn't fit the side of a standard 10g tank. almost. but it doesn't. just a heads up.
