Coralife Energy Savers ACL76004 Water Pump 100gpd Ro Unit
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
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.Friday, September 26, 2014

Zoo Med Nano 501 External Canister Filter
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).Wednesday, May 14, 2014

EcoPlus Commercial Air 3 - 35 Watts Single Outlet
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
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
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.Read Best Reviews of JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 200 Aquarium Air Pump Here
This pump can't power anything more than 1 airstone in 10 gallon tank . Disappointed..but at least it's quiet. My best pump is Fusion 400Want JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 200 Aquarium Air Pump Discount?

All-In-One Filter
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. Not only they answer their calls promply, but customer service oriented and very profesional. I am very impress with the time they invest in a one-to-one customer satisfaction issue, I reported a missing attachment set and not only they track it down but made sure my product was complete and functional. Excellent customer service. I will buy from Lifeguard Aquatics again and again.

Easy to assemble and set up. Got rid of all the algae in my Pseudo-koi (feeder goldfish) pond in half a day. So glad I got it!Want All-In-One Filter Discount?
This filter was very easy to install and is working like a champ. Our pond is only 100 gallons and the filter seems to havelots of power to spare. We have a small waterfall which requires more power and this filter works great.

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.Saturday, December 14, 2013
Zilla 09669 Malaysian Driftwood Plant, Medium
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
-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
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 wallWant Marina Hang-On Breeding Box, Large Discount?
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.
