WaterWonders Cube Aquarium Kit - 1 1/2 Gallon

I had this tank with a betta and a gold mystery snail in it. Its very cheap and unfortunatly the LEDs arent bright at all. I will also say for the size of the tank the filter is rather large and not easy to hide behind decor without comprimising swimming room. If you are a serious fish enthusist who likes quality this isnt for you. It is cheap and it looks cheap. If its going to sit on your son/daughters desk its not a bad deal for the price. But for $5 more you can get the tetra cube 3 gallon and have WAY more room for yourr fishy friend.

Azoo Co2 Plant Tablet

the plant tablets work well, its designed for 10 gallon and under. I have a 7.5 gallon cube and the plants are growing like crazy.

it works fine I believe for very tiny aquariums as the amount of Co2 coming out is really incomparable with what you get from the Sera Tablets for example ... however i used for a while but i believe i need at least to put the complete Box in my aquarium for it to start showing effect ..

PS: the box is much smaller than what you see or expect ... it is the same size of the Nazal drops box size for example

The case is really small and the pellets are extremely small also. Not worth the money and will go back to buying on ebay.

AquaClear Levelling Device for Power Filters

I bought a fish tank set up second hand, and it included two Aquaclear filters. The Aquaclear 70 filter I received was missing it's levelling device and without it, I was just trying random things to keep it level. It would work for a few days and then eventually get loud as it went off-level.

I ordered this part as an Add-on and my only regret is that I didn't order a few more at the same time just for back up. Because my filter is older, I did have some difficulty fully inserting the device into the hole in the bottom of the filter, I couldn't get it all the way in due to both a slightly different design than the older model device that was originally on my filter, and because the original owner had tried to super glue the original levelling device back into place, leaving a glue residue that is preventing me from fully installing it.

Works as it's designed and my filter is quiet & level now.

This leveling device is horrible. It will do for a replacement, but if you can find the OEM one, go for it.

Pure Aquatic Wide Common Starfish Aquarium Ornament 4.5 in. x 6.5 in. x 1 in.

The star isn't as yellow as shown in the photo. The one I received is green on the center with yellow only on the outer edges. Also one point of the star is not even half the length of the other 4 points. Having one a little shorter is fine, but it's so short it's looks lopsided and just plain odd. Not as nice as photo portrays it. I would NOT recommend this to anyone.

Glofish Plastic Plants Large Starfire Red, Ambulia

Shipped quickly, high enough quality, looks great under regular lighting...but unfortunately does not glow under the glofish aquarium's lighting as expected. All of the blue and green plants we purchased showed up, but this one is better used under fluorescent lighting.

Took a while to get to my house. and i figured it would be flimsy like any other plastic plant and it kinda glows. its ok.

Deep Blue Betta Scoop 2"X2" Net Coars

This is a regular pet store fish net, as far as I can tell there is no difference between this product and one of these http://www.amazon.com/Marina-3-Inch-Nylon-10-Inch-Handle/dp/B0002AQJH6/. Except the fact that it's really tiny. I guess it works but it's not going to make your betta transfer any less stressful.

F.M. Brown's Herbs n' Hay GIANT 12-Inch Edible Tunnel

I love this tunnel and my pigies love it too but im not really happy about the fact that it gets their fleece very dirty. now im trying to figure out how to make it work but ya.. i gave it 4 stars because my pigies love it and actually enjoy going in and out of it.

I was under the impresion that the whole thing was made out of pressed hay or something of that nature, but it's just a thick cardboard type material with a coating of hay stuck on top of it. My bunnies still like it and love to run through it and hide in it, but they don't really nibble on it at all.

Great as a play toy, not so much as a chew toy to wear down their teeth. (at least for my rabbits)

AirPod® Air Pump w/Battery Back-Up for up to 55 Gallon Tanks

I have a 40 gallon tank and when the electricity went out at my house one day, the pump continued to work on the batteries but it was still to weak that my fishes went up to the top to get air. The motor inside is too weak to generate any strong air flow for the tank. It might work better for a smaller tank (up to 20 gallons but nothing more.) Look elsewhere for a better back up air pump.

No review of the product, as I received the wrong one. Be aware that you too may receive the incorrect one too. I got an air pump that doesn't have battery back-up, which defeated the whole point of my purchase. The troublesome thing is that there is a sticker barcode over the original barcode that has the product number for the battery back-up air pump and says, "Air pump w/ battery back up" I'm hesitant to order this again for fear of getting the wrong one again. Also, this item cannot be processed through the returns center and you must either call or chat with customer service to get a return started. One star for the experience.

Its a strong pump, so i had to use low power. When battery mode actives strengh lowers, but thats normal for batter operation. Its also small and not load (so far). 4 D cell batteries seems like a lot, but i considered it also last a very long time. Energy dont go that often where i am at, but i dont want to risk loosing my fish that where not easy to find. Internally its well build and not heavy (without batteries). Would be nice if it had wholes to mount on my wall, but it does not have them. Over all good priced unit for my 30gl tank.

Update June 20, 2012: Been 1 year and 2 months. Pump is on 24/7 and works great, pumps air same as when i got it. Only thins is that its not as quiet as before. Sometime batteries do not sit in place and enery goes and contacts for batteries are not good. Solution is to add something else on top of the batteries so lid is tight keeps batteries in place. I am using for 18 inch depth on 30 gallon and have pump on lowest setting since it puts out alot of air (still). Im considering getting another one. This is considered one of my best purchases, now i can go away for the weekend with little worries.

1 star because pump petered out after one month. Now sitting in the garage in a bucket collecting dust. Would make a nice paper weight but would probably tear paper! Useless item that I wasted a nice chunk of change on when i could have gotten something less and would have lasted. Junk!

This is a great product. Kept my fish alive from sandy and 2 other power outages.

The only complain on my part is that it should have a built in audio alarm. One of my big koi died because the plug of the ac is off seated from the surge protector. It kept my fish alive more than 24 hours though with my D size batteries. I just didn't know about it until too late. Even though it failed me once, I am still using it since somehow, it keeps me sane and free from dead fishes.

All Glass Aquarium AAG65010 Silicone Sealant, 10-Ounce

I purchased this product for the "off label" use of creating silk flower aquarium decor. It was great & perfectly safe for my fish. I followed the product recommendations and applied it to a base of aquarium stones to imbed more natural looking flora to my setup. Terrific product. Useful and safe.

Used it to seal an aquarium. At 6 months everything is fine. The one downside is that it's *extremely* hard to start the flow. Starting this thing takes a strong guy or something better than a hand-powered caulk gun.

I bought the large 10 oz tube to fill in some hollow decorations so I wouldn't need to worry about cleaning the interior surfaces. It has worked great for this purpose. It does have a strong vinegar smell to it, and the big tube requires a caulk gun to dispense it. Wear latex gloves when using to prevent getting any on your skin, but if you do I found that Clorox wipes remove it easily off of skin and surfaces. Water doesn't really cut it. If you do use this to fill decorations remember the decorations will FLOAT unless you put some weight inside. I used medium sized aquarium rocks that were clean.

Tetra Pond Water Garden Pump

This pump is rated at 1000 gph for 500-1000 gallon ponds, but it's more suitable for 500 gallon ponds as it's rather weak. The pump is tiny, but it works well so far. If you have a pond that's more than 500 gallons, get the next pump up which is the Tetra 1900 gph pump which is for ponds of 1000-1500 gallons.

I like the fact this pump has a hose intake and Tetra sells a bunch of different pre-filters that are more or less modular. I've attached a skimmer and a pre-filter to this pump with a piece of T-tube coupling and am pretty pleased with the results so far. And gallon for gallon, this appears to be the best deal.

Update: I had to go to the hardware store to find step up and down adapters because the filters and the pump had different size hoses but I've found that Laguna sells hose fittings and adapters that make connections between different sized hoses a snap. Just follow the links below:

Laguna Y-Connector Supplied with 3 Click-Fit Connectors, 1-1/4-Inch

Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 3/4 to 1-1/2-Inch

Pros:

1) Price.

2) Modular design. I've had a lot of fun adding different types of filters to it, in fact I'm having so much fun that I'm building my own larger filter for it.

3) I've read on a forum that Tetra products has fantastic customer service. I hope I don't have to use it myself but this pump has a 3 year warranty and that particular forumer said he got his pump replaced with a better one and even got extras thrown in. The fact that Tetra pond has an 800 number listed and people on the phone to help sounds great. Also, Tetra has been around for a long time, about 20 years that I know of.

This pump is excellent for what we needed in our above pond. We have approximately 500 gallon pond and it works amazingly well.

This is exactly the type of pump I was looking for. This pump is submersible but it can also be used as a non-submersible. I live in the tropics and submersibles tend to heat up the water so I was able to connect this one so that just the intake is below the water's surface. I then connected a homemade filter box, on the bottom of the pond, to the intake with a hose. This way, the back end of the pump is above the water surface and shouldn't heat the water as much.

My pond is only about 130 gallons but with the 5-foot lift to the filter/water-fall this pump is too small. I should have bought the next size up.

09/10/12: The output nipple broke at the base. When you first get your pump you may want to re-enforce the base of the nipple with some waterproof epoxy. I was actually able to fix mine. I used a one-inch piece of 1/2 inch PVC pipe and a screw in brass nipple. The plastic base of the broken nipple fits into the PVC pipe. So, I glued it in. I had to heat the other end of the pipe to stick the threaded base of the brass nipple into the pipe. I pressure clamped it while hot then took the clamp off after it was cool. It's not pretty but better then new!

Connection sizes are proprietary and you HAVE TO buy their tubing. Reviews on their tubing said it was brittle so we did not want to buy that. So we ended up going to a plumbing store and having them do a custom job for our connections to work well.

Laguna Pressure-Flo 3200 UVC Filter

I have owned this filter for about three years and run it 24/7. The difference it made in my pond clarity was like night and day. I can actually see my fish again!! The UV 25 watt lamp replacement is spendy and I go through at least one a year but it is well worth it. When the lamp burns out, my pond does not take long to tell me, as the clarity soon deteriates. I recently discovered the backwashing function did not seem to be effective any longer but finally figured out the foam filters which are scrubbed in the cleaning process shrink over time and no longer make contact with the scrubbing blades. Replacements are now on the way. Living in Montana, I am forced to move fish and filtration system into my garage in the winter but I have found this easy to do. Highly recommend this product to anyone who cares about keeping healthy, clear water in their pond!Laguna Pressure-Flo 3200 UVC Filter

I have a 700-800 gallon koi pond and I purchased this to replace my last filter that died after 5 years. This filter was cheaper, and did a far better job. This summer I had no problems with algae at all, the UV worked as advertised. Additionally, the filters are incredibly easy to clean using the backwash feature. Considering the ease of maintenance and overall performance of this system I would definitely purchase it again. As an added bonus this item was HUNDREDS of dollars cheaper then at the local aquaculture store. Be sure to read specs many manufacturers seem to change the names of some identical products.

After 6 months or so the filter foam elements shrink and the cleaning blades become ineffective. Also somehow mud bypasses the foam elements and settles in the bottom. In order to get it working, filter elements are to be replaced and filter cleaned on a regular basis.This is expensive and time consuming. I am replacing it with a filter but without foam elements, and the biospheres can be back washed.

We purchased this UVC filter thinking we were getting one of the best on the market. It did a great job of reducing the algae in our koi pond within a few days. Things went great until we put it away for the winter. We VERY carefully disassembled everything and packed it away with cushioning. In the spring, we carefully inspected and reassembled everything. Once it was running, we quickly realized the UVC light wasn't working as the algae was getting the best of the pond. I ordered a new replacement bulb thinking it was regular maintenance and per the owner's manual.

The algae got worse, so I took the thing apart again. The bulb was clearly blown--black smudges near the connectors. I ordered a new bulb and consulted the owner's manual. I did the wet test as per the book and found there was water inside the quartz sleeve, which obviously blew the bulb. Now I have to find someplace to get it fixed, or I can buy a new head assembly for eighty bucks.

Boo! I wish I'd bought a different style of UVC light, which was all we really needed.
