HQRP Blue + White Aquarium Reef Corals Grow LED Light Panel 13.8W 150 White + 70 Blue LED 7000K / 4

HQRP Blue + White Aquarium Reef Corals Grow LED Light Panel 13.8W 150 White + 70 Blue LED 7000K / 460 nm + UV TesterI am very pleased with this product. You cannot find a light like this for the price. My corals love the bright light. I hung it above my tank from a hook that only took a few minutes to install.

Thanks!

The unit is very cheapily made. After only about 1 month of use many of the LEDS went out. The LEDs used are way to weak to "grow" corals as the seller claims. I would avoid this product.

I would never try this on my reef tank as there is no way it's powerful enough to supplement the light needed for coral growth. I used it on my freshwater tank for a while with no splash and one line of blue went out. The plants seem to like it but it looks more blue than white which is also a bummer.

from some 1 that knows

for 14 watts this thing is great using it on a saltwater tank i would give it a 9 out of 10

the only bad thing is that i think it could be a bit more water tight keep in mind that im using it on a aquarium and not as a plant lite

i used in the past

LEDwholesalers High Power WHITE + BLUE LED Aquarium Reef corals grow light. 250 watt not as bright but very close and its 14watt

and no loud fan

on a 225 gal aquarium i now use 2 of the HQRP Blue + White Aquarium Reef Corals Grow LED Light Panel 13.8W 150 White + 70 Blue LED 7000K / 460 nm + UV Tester

and

1 Full Spectrum Light Bulb ALZO 85 watt CFL 5500K daylight balanced pure white light 4250 Lumens for power ..In a 5 gal bucket

for a tot of 113 watts i was using well over 1200 watts and now so far this is much better

i have this on a refugium running 8 hrs a day, they are low output LED's so don't expect it to blind you or bleach coral. my only complaint is the one they sent me is 50/50 blue to white. i'd put the color spectrum around 16k

Lee`s Aquarium 2gal Undergravel Filter 5in

Lee`s Aquarium 2gal Undergravel Filter 5inThis filter is perfect for my fish bowl, although you need a small air pump that is not supplied. I have my filter in a 3 1/2 gallon flower vase that I made into a giant fish bowl and this filter works great. I tried the small cartridge filters from the pet stores and they were very insufficient compared to this under gravel filter. Just rinse the charcoal filter out real good before you put it in your tank and do regular water changes and you will have very happy fish with a cheap but effective filter

I got this filter for a small tank that I keep guppies in. The fish seem to like it because it keeps the water very still for them, unlike the old filter I was using that created a pretty strong current.

I ordered this product to go in a betta bowl. When I tried to assemble the product, the tube would NOT fit into the base. I'm going to have to figure out if it's worth replacing the tube or trying to widdle it down. CRAPPY!

Read Best Reviews of Lee`s Aquarium 2gal Undergravel Filter 5in Here

The thing is noisy with all the bubbles coming out of it, and they only come out of 1 hole in the top. The tube was too tall, and the filter was so much taller than the top of my 2.5 gallon square fish tank that I had to cut the tube in half with a hammer and wire cutters. It doesn't cover the whole bottom of the tank so I don't know how it will clean the whole tank. The plant looks kinda sharp. I've had it in my tank for 30 minutes now and the water is cloudy. I'm giving it 2 stars in hopes that it will do some filtration.

Marina Deluxe Oval Bubble Disk, 4.75 inch

Marina Deluxe Oval Bubble Disk, 4.75 inchThese stones work perfect for our outdoor dogs and their water bowl! It keeps their water moving, eliminating any chance of mosquitos and other pests getting in their water!

Also great for larger bird baths! It seems to attract more birds b/c they see the water rippling great item to stock up on for the warmer months!

The tube doesn't stay in place, and it doesn't create bubbles throughout the entire surface. It floats, and doesn't stay in place even with heavy rocks weighing it down. Beautiful and neat idea, just flawed design.

Great product, I a m very pleased, thanx a million. Ten more words, I'm not great at explaining how happy I am, but very pleased and it's over ten words now, lol.

I love this airstone. The bubbles are large enough that I don't have to worry about them lodging in my larger fishes' fins and strong enough that works even when buried under the sand in my tank. Be advised that the stone doesn't say submerged as easily as pictured and will need to be mostly buried.

I purchased this while it was on sale and probably wouldn't get another one unless there was another price cut.

As another reviewer noted, it's too light-weight to stay anchored to the bottom of the aquarium on its own. There is a small dimple on the bottom side that I hot glued a small suction cup to. From there, I could mount it anywhere I wanted. Just be careful that the hot glue is safe for fish.

Fishbowl Filter

Fishbowl FilterWonderful product! I couldn't find another one like it. It's small enough for my one gallon fish bowl. I have a single betta fish in the bowl. 1st it saves me time because now the fish bowl is lower maintence and i don't have to clean it near as often. And 2nd it keeps my fish healthier because it's keeping the water cleaner and constantly cycling it.

I use this for a 1 gallon shrimp tank and a 1.5 gallon fry tank and it seems to do the job. Needs to be replaced every two weeks though, as it gets dirty quick, which maybe me over feeding but overall it aerates and cleans these small tanks. Would have given it a 5-star rating, but the prickly plant won't stay in the base properly so I just jam the plant in a coral instead.

Buy Fishbowl Filter Now

If you are looking for an UGF for a one gallon fish bowl look no further. What can I say plug in your air line and it works great. If you are using a layer of soil for substrait I would refrain however. The filering action will help leach the tannin in to the water giving it the look of tea.

Should come with the tube that you have to attach to it to even work. Very vague instructions. cheaply made

Perfect for one gallon glass jars! you have to squeeze the base a little bit to get it in the jar, but it fits and works great.

Oceanic 36015 BioCube HQI Aquarium, 29-Gallon

Oceanic 36015 BioCube HQI Aquarium, 29-GallonI have had this since May 2012 and use it as a Saltwater, Fish only tank and it has really been hard to maintain. I have to wipe it down every day because salt accumulates all over it, especially at the seams and you can forget keeping the glass cover clean. I have already had to replace the protein skimmer. The original one didn't stop working it just didn't work well enough. In fairness, this may be easier to maintain as a freshwater tank, but I regret the purchase and wish I had just gotten a larger tank that would hold more than 3 or 4 fish to make the maintenance work while. Probably could maintain a 55 gal. at the same cost with the same or even less maintenance. I have to use additional fans to keep the temperature at an acceptable level, the light emits a lot of heat even with the fans it holds. With this size tank the temperature fluctuates at the least change in environmental temperature, even small temporary change.

I have had my hqi for a month now, and i am very impressed how easy it is to keep corals and fish. I would recommend a couple power heads for it though

Jardin Fish Tank Aquarium Coral Soft Ornament Décor, Green

Jardin Fish Tank Aquarium Coral Soft Ornament Décor, GreenThis is really nice in my Betta tank but I was surprised by how small it was. I thought it was going to be a lot bigger. I am glad the purple one that I bought was bigger than this one but they look good together and move naturally in the water. My Bettar really likes them.

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain HeadI bought this for our small outdoor fish pond. I don't know the exact size or volume, but it's about 3' x 4'. Our previous pump/filter had given out partly because it was too powerful for a tiny pond. This seems to be just right. It makes a nice little fountain & filters the water really well. (We used the fountain nozzle from our other pump/filter because we wanted a more traditional tiered fountain, but this kit includes the basic bubble and waterbell type water pattern.) We had clear water again after just one day. It has been a little over a month since we installed, and no problems. It's easy to clean, and at this price is such a great value.

UPDATE: It has now been a year and this pump is still working great. We kept it running all winter without the fountain part attached and it provided enough movement that our little pond didn't freeze solid and it kept our comets happy and healthy during this unbelievable winter! Now that it's warm out, it continues to keep the water crystal clear, doesn't clog over-easily and is easy to clean. I have not had the problem that others spoke of with the tab of the cover breaking off, but I also don't just try and rip it off. Very satisfied with this product! SECOND UPDATE: It has now been almost 2 years (and a very rough winter in the northeast!) and this pump is still working beautifully! My fish survived the winter as this kept the water moving even in the deep freezes we had. Great product!

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head is exactly what I needed to clear that funky split-pea soup (algae-ridden) water in my Shubunkin, Comet and Koi ponds! Simple to use..., Has a very sturdy handle (convenient for lifting the unit out of the pond for cleaning). Takes about 2 minutes to hose off the 3 (very thick) filters and put the unit back in pond. The 190 gallons per hour "pump-suck" is quite powerful and quiet. My ponds were crystal clear in two days. I don't use the optional fountain head because I have spitters and waterfalls, already -not using it creates a very nice rippling agitation effect on the surface of the pond. Your neighbors will be in total awe. :) My fish are quite happy now that they can actually see me coming to feed them -and see their food pellets floating on the top of the water. Perfect! --Katharena Eiermann, 2007, the Realm of Existentialism -Presidential Hopeful

Buy Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head Now

The pump works quite well and does create a nice spherical pattern. The head is adjustable so you can make different patterns. For example, it can also shoot jets out perpendicular to the head. There are no instructions for how to change the pattern and it's definitely not obvious, but you just have to rotate the very top of the head. The filter is very large and easy to access for cleaning.

I've tried to use solar-powered pumps and filters in my pond, but they're not powerful enough and tend to get clogged easily and break quickly. This is a much more powerful and sturdy pump with a far larger filter, so it should do the job much better. Definitely a good pump for the price.

We are using this for a pond that contains several Comet Goldfish, one Red-Eared Slider Turle, & one Softshell Turtle. We've had it a month now and love it. It's easy to clean and works great so far.

Hydrofarm AS2FLEX 2-Feet Active Aqua Flexible Air Stone

Hydrofarm  AS2FLEX 2-Feet Active Aqua Flexible Air Stonebought these air stones for a DWC and they are THE BEST! easy to interchange / remove for res changes, 100% flexible for multiple plants in one reservoir, and VERY EVEN AERATION OVERALL!

I am impressed!

I have 8 of these, they were nice when they were brand new. Now that they are about a year old, they barely work. They get clogged within a week and basically stop working. I ended up have to take a safety pin and poking holes every inch for it to function at all.

Buy Hydrofarm AS2FLEX 2-Feet Active Aqua Flexible Air Stone Now

I've used about 4 different styles of air stone and this one definitely has the potential to be the coolest:

it sinks

it's flexible and light so easy to shape for your exact needs.

Unfortunately, it's the only one I have that keeps clogging. It's easy enough to clear it. But, every time it clogs I have to wonder how long it's been clogged and not doing it's job. It's not easy for me to check and see if it's working properly. And, there's no obvious reason for the clogging the water is totally clear no debris or anything. I don't get it.

It's a shame because I would have bought more I think the design is really clever.

Give it a try your mileage may vary...

This works like any other air stone, but is easier to place in the tank since it doesn't float up, and has no feet that need to be put into gravel to keep it from floating. Also, it is flexible, making it easy to fit in any tank configuration. After some use however, it does float at the free end. I'd probably use again because they are so easy to place and configure, but cosmetically it isn't the best.

Aquavista Betta Fish Clock Aquarium, Burgundy

Aquavista Betta Fish Clock Aquarium, BurgundyI've had this clock now for quite a few months. It worked right away out of the box, and despite what it looks like in the picture, it has much MUCH more room than a lot of the "betta aquariums" in the pet stores. I've had fish all my life, and have had varying success with betta fish at different times. The fish I bought for this was a more expensive one and to be honest I thought about buying a cheaper one first, just in case. But this fish is the happiest, most active fish I've had. He seems to love all the action he watches in our house (I have three kids) and he follows the minute hand around sometimes too. He makes lots of bubbles at the top (a sign they are happily nest building, right betta experts?) and no fish poo does not float around in the water... the water has stayed remarkably clean we haven't even had algae issue and again despite the picture you don't actually have to fill it all the way to the top, so there is plenty of air. There is also a hole at the top to drop the food through, as well as a bigger hatch that you can open just to feed and clean, or leave open if you're really worried about fresh air/carbon dioxide buildup. We have two other betta fish in a split container I bought at a pet store and frankly they don't seem half as happy or healthy. Neither does the poor little guy at my daughter's preschool. Maybe I'll buy three more Fish Clocks so they're all happier. Also, every single person that has come to our home is tripped out when they realize there is a fish in our clock, all the kids love it, and no one has run screaming to PETA yet. I'm buying one for my mother for her birthday today as well.

I love the look of this clock. Unfortunately, it doesn't keep time; losing about 10 minutes a day. It also has a slow leak. I'd return it except I have a fish in it.

I purchased this item as a gift for my daughter. She loves animals and works with them. She was very happy to get it as it is an unusual item and fits her personality. She also said she needed a clock. It's attractive and has large numbers. The fish seems to enjoy it too. The perfect gift for the unusual person.

Want Aquavista Betta Fish Clock Aquarium, Burgundy Discount?

I am going to do something unusual and write a review for a product I did not purchase. Why? Because I would never purchase something this cruel. This kind of fish needs a plant in the tank to add oxygen to the water. It needs much more of a healthy environment than just being a fish in water. This is not a proper habitat for any fish. Thank you for your patience, but I had to say something. Please consider another alternative. Even a cheap glass vase with a proper plant and some stones in the bottom is better than this. Cheap plastic leaches chemicals into water.

Zoo Med ReptiTherm® Under Tank Heater, Large

Zoo Med ReptiTherm® Under Tank Heater, LargeWell if you are looking at this product you probably know what it is and have an idea of what it does... One Note is this product is not ment for any water animals (painted turtles included).

I was using an alternate product to heat my tank but when I went from a 20 gallon tank to a 50 gallon tank it was way to small. This product is 10x better than that competing brand that I purchased at petsmart (for the same price) as this in quality, overall look, and options. Quality is outstanding... Very nicely finished off. On amazon I found it to be $15-20 dollars cheaper than in stores (including shipping).

One major advantage of this product is that one side of the heating pad has adhesive on it to stick directly to the glass for optimum heat transfer (I really like this feature as my old pad did not have this), However this might be annoying when it comes to clean the tank. Also it is able to placed on the side of the tank to transfer heat into the enviroment rather than through the substrate. This is to protect an antique stand or dresser or if there is a table cloth on the table. The product does come with little rubber feet to place on the tank to raise it slightly so air can flow beneth.

In the instructions it warns not to use with any material tank other than a glass tank. It warns not to place a water dish above mat because if water spills on the glass that it is heating it can cause a stress crack in the glass.

For the bottom mount it states that the preffered substrate is Repti Cage Carpet, Repti Sand of thickness no more than 1.5", If using a light (easily movable... newspaper, paper towels, pine shavings, moss) substrate for snakes a cage carpet is required as the glass may become exposed and then burn the snake (or other reptile that can burrow).

I am not using a heat controller on this pad, I instead have a heat lamp and an normal light lamp for day light and heat and then leave the pad on 24/7 for night heat. In my tank the temp fluctuates from ~80-85 in the hot side and ~75-80 on the cool side so there was no need for a temp controller. On the back of the box it gives different temperature ranges for different animals.

I myself have two leopard geckos about 12 years old and about 10", with this new heater I noticed them out of their hides more and exploring the entire tank rather than just one half.

Hope this helps anyone looking.

I bought a different heating pad before this one by Cobra. It, compared to this one was awful. I returned that one and got this one immediately because my girlfriend got one for her snake. I love how it includes rubber feet to lift up the tank. It adheres well to the underside (or if you prefer the side) and works very well. If you're looking for a heating pad for underneath a tank or on the side, go with ZooMed.

This is an excellent undertank heater at a reasonable price. It allows the option of placement on the bottom or the side of the tank. Ours is installed on the bottom and we've had no problems of overheating the tank stand or any problems whatsoever.

I would highly recommend this item.

I may have gotten the wrong size. But I needed a UTH for my 20g long tank and the dimensions listed for this product are ideal yet when I received the product the dimension w

ere 18inx7in instead of the listed 10inx9in.

Want Zoo Med ReptiTherm® Under Tank Heater, Large Discount?

For all those who are looking at this product and are confused about which size should be used for which tank:

The large is 18"x8", meant for 50-60 gallon tanks.

The medium is 8"x12" meant for 30-40 gallon tanks.

The small is 6"x8" meant for 10-20 gallon tanks, and the mini is meant for up to 5 gallons.

Hope that helps.

As for the product, I've never had a problem with the Zoomed heat pads. Just remember to use a thermoSTAT at all times when using one of these products as they can reach dangerously high temperatures when unregulated.

Coralife Energy Savers ACL53402 Lunar Aqualight Pc Strip, 24-Inch, 65w

Coralife Energy Savers ACL53402 Lunar Aqualight Pc Strip, 24-Inch, 65wLIghting works fantastically! Plenty of bright lights, one white and one actinic, and the additional LED "moon lighting" is something that I would have a hard time living without now that I've seen how beautiful it can be shinning on coral during the wee hours of the nighttime. For reference, i'm using the fixture over a 70 gallon, corner, salt water aquarium. However, the fan noise once the unit warms up is too loud for my comfort level in a living room environment. I googled fan noise and this model and found I was not alone with this concern. Thought about returning the unit but will see if I can get used to the background noise. The fan noise can best be described as like a low level jet engine sound. The only other concern is that the mounting legs are a little awkward to install. Better illustrations in the assembly manual would be a suggestion to the manufacturer. It was easy once "I got it." All bulbs were included.
