Two Little Fishies ATL5455W Ball Valve, 3/4-Inch

This was hard to find. It works great on 3/4" tubing for flow control or as a shutoff. Excellent quality craftsmanship.

Although the shipping was great, product great, the seller needs to know how to use commas in there description.

This is a product called "Two Little....." You are only getting 1. Even in the detailed description the do not use commas or note you are only getting one. The price was about 60% more than I found at other places so I assumed this was for 2 of them not one.

Just a Note the product get a 5 Star. The seller gets a 1 Star.

Marina Power Filter

This filter came in an aquarium set that I purchased recently. It is an awesome filter. Very quiet, very thin! The impeller motor is inside the tank so it takes up less behind the wall space. It is by no means bulky in the tank though! There is an adjustable flow to regulate the amount of current it produces, and also there is a coarse sponge on the intake which is nice for preventing fry from being sucked into the filter. I also like the choice of carbon and ammonia reducing chips for the inserts. It is extremely easy to assemble this filter. All in all worth every penny!

I've had this filter for about a month, and my fish seem to be doing much better with the dispersed flow. Unlike other filters, the flow from the Marina S10 seems to diffuse across the slide. This creates less current and less stress on the fish. As a bonus, I can turn down the flow level during feeding times so all the food doesn't shoot across the top of the aquarium.

The fish in my 10 gallon tank did not appreciate the heavy current created by my old Tetra Whisper filter. Sure, the Whisper did an excellent job filtering waste, but it also stressed out the fish. This filter does as good a job filtering waste and eliminating ammonia, and doesn't stress the fish!

I'm giving this filter 5 stars because it is best-in-class for 10-gallon tanks. No other filters provide as sleek a look; no other filters come with a built-in flow regulator (that I can find....), and no other filters have as peaceful a current for my fish, frog, and shrimp.

I've had this filter 4 months, and really like it. My tank is viewable from both sides, so the streamlined shape is great hanging on the end. The width (7 in) might not be so great if you are hanging it on the back without a background.

The filter is silent. Not quiet, silent. I have to check for ripples to know if it's on. It comes with an intake sponge, so you don't have to buy one if you have shrimp or fry. The size of the motor and intake (with sponge) inside the tank is about equal to a PennPlax SmallWorld filter I had for a while. I don't think it takes up too much tank space.

It's like a cross between an external HOB and an internal filter. The motor is on the intake and the media is outside. The motor is submerged, so does not have to be primed each time you unplug it. The downside is that it's an electrical motor with wire going into the water, so you should unplug it before you stick your hand in the tank, when you clean etc. The submerged motor means the hang-on-back part is all one piece of plastic, no washers or connections to leak.

Media being on the outside of the tank is easy to replace. I don't use the inserts because I don't want to have carbon in the filter all the time. AquaClear 20 media bags fit easily in the sections. I've used BioMax and carbon, and now have 2 BioMax bags in one section and a cut to size filter pad in the other. Purigen 100 mL fits (barely) but slows the flow.

I believe it's a 55gph filter, which is plenty for my 5.5 gallon. I like that the flow is adjustable. It does not have a lot of surface agitation -I get some protein scum even with it on full. Still, I think it's a great filter and the flexiblity appeals to me. I'd buy it again gladly.

I bought this to replace my Tetra Whisper, which was beginning to whisper rather loudly. Assembly was a little complicated, but maybe I wouldn't have thought so if I hadn't felt hurried because my Tetra had crapped out soon after the Marina S10 arrived.I'm very happy with this, and my only complaint is one I read elsewhere, that the plastic lid rattles and makes a buzzing noise. I simply removed don't use the lid, and the only noise I hear is the gentle flow of the filtered water back into the tank. It does seem to aerate the water much more than the Tetra did as well. Overall, very pleased. A good value.

One more thing: This unit takes two filters, and it shipped with two, but one is designed for goldfish ("Bio Clear") and the other for tripical fish ("Bio Carb "). I was glad I ordered extra ones for goldfish so I could place two of those in from the start. I think it would be better if Marina gave you the choice at point of purchase or include two of each.

Nutrafin Aqua Plus Water Conditioner

I use Aqua Plus every time I do water changes in my aquarium. I have used this product for many, many years with 100% success. It not only takes out chlorine and chloramine in tap water, it neutralizes toxic heavy metals like lead and copper, and protects fish scales and fins. It also contains a patented stress-reducing formula that includes Valerian Root. Other water conditions may claim to be as good, but it's been so successful for me over the years, I won't use anything else. When the fish store I frequent stopped selling it because "it costs more than other brands" I searched for it at other fish stores. Although I did find it, Amazon's price was amazingly lower.

I really love the size of the container for the price. It is much cheaper than my LFS. I absolutely love the cap because it has measurements in it and I think that every liquid product should come with a measuring cup on the cap as well. It is a must now!

Penn Plax Cascade 300 GPH Power Filter

After researching a number of different filters for my 20-gallon gourami tank, I decided to give this one a try. It is designed with function in mind, including an adequate system of bio-filtration and flow control. Flow control, though simple in design, is a nice feature to have that is sadly lacking on many HOB filters. This feature was important to me as gouramis are labyrinth fish who prefer slow-moving water, and I wanted the ability to adjust the flow, if necessary.

One reason I hesitated to invest in this filter is that, although the filter itself is very reasonably priced, the replacement filter cartridges are somewhat expensive. Fortunately, the size of the intake tube is just right to use one of these pre-filters: Pre-Filter Sponge 3 Pack for Fluval Edge Aquarium This increases the biological filtration even more while filtering small particles before they ever enter the filter itself. I simply rinse the pre-filter in aquarium water ever two weeks or so and replace the filter cartridge once a month, since activated carbon expires monthly. Rinsing the pre-filter is an easy step, since this has an extendable intake tube, making it easy to detach the endpiece from the filter itself without having to actually pull the sponge off the intake every time. The filter even continues to run while I do this, as long as the end of the intake is submersed. As an added bonus, my flower shrimp loves to eat the particles of food that collect on the sponge, and as a filter feeder, she enjoys the luxury of hanging on the intake to make use of the flow without the danger of being harmed by the filter intake. Meanwhile, between some tinkering with the flow control and the addition of the sponge, the flow itself is weak enough to not upset my male/female pair of gouramis, who are able to blow bubble nests and engage in spawning behavior. Even though this is only a 20-gallon tank, the flower shrimp, clown pleco and mystery snails have their own space, and the gouramis have theirs. Having a sponge pre-filter and flow control also benefits the live plants in my tank, especially the java fern, which proliferates easily and abundantly, but often can be damaged by filter intakes when the young ferns float about the tank before finding a piece of driftwood or other material where they can grow.

In terms of reliability, I have run this filter steadily for four months as of the writing of this review, and, used in conjunction with some additional sponge filters, this has proven itself to be reliable. It is self-priming and consistently restarts automatically following a power outage. It even runs steadily during a partial water change, and the 'Bio-Falls' system seems to provide additional aeration for the water, which is important not only for providing oxygen for my water-breathing creatures, but helps remove toxic substances, which benefits all of the creatures in my tank, including the air-breathing gouramis.

To conclude, I will provide a brief list of pros and cons:

PROS:

1. It is inexpensive

2. It is effective in terms of mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration

3. It is reliable and self-priming

4. It fits the inexpensive Fluval sponge pre-filters

5. It has flow control

CONS:

1. Replacement cartridges are not easily found in stores

2. Replacement cartridges are expensive (but this can be easily addressed by using an inexpensive sponge pre-filter, extending the cartridge life to at least a full month)

I purchased this filter to replace the cheap starter filter that came with my aquarium. The problem with my original filter was the lack of a bio sponge, so that every time I replaced the filter medium, ammonia levels would rise while the new filter grew bacteria, resulting in the nitrite spike when the bacteria finally caught up. I don't know whether this filter would actually handle a 50 gallon aquarium, but on a 20 gallon aquarium, cloudy water and detectable levels of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite have become a thing of the past.

When I initially set up the filter it was a bit noisy, but after removing and reinstalling the impeller it ran with an almost indiscernible hum. The bio falls booster has the additional side effect of slowing the water on the way out of filter so that it reenters the aquarium less violently than my previous filter despite pumping twice as much water. This helps the filter run quietly with no splashing if your water level is adjusted properly.

The activated carbon filter is unique in that it is broken into a number of cells that each contain activated carbon. As a result, more of water flowing through the filter is exposed to the carbon without sacrificing ease of a slide-in cartridge.

I have only two criticisms of this filter. First, the flow of the carbon cartridge should have been made higher, as there is a small amount of overflow even when this cartridge is new if the filter flow is adjusted to the maximum setting. Second, most of the noticeable noise from the filter comes from the vibration of the lid. This can be overcome by running without the lid, or by using a small piece of tape. This vibration made me question the build quality of an otherwise excellent filter.

The cascade 100 hang on aquarium filter is an excellent choice for your filtration system. It has the bio-sponge for beneficial bacteria and the waterfall release also grows benefical bac. for your fish. Very quiet and hangs perfectly on my tall hex-aquarium. Overall I love this filter. Just make sure you do your water changes and filter changes on opposite weeks. You will kill some benefical bacterica when you do either. But the other will suffice till new bacteria grows.

Instant Ocean SCPS-100 SeaClone Protein Skimmer, 100-Gallon

Been using the Seaclone 100 as a hang-on a 36 gallon tank for about 2 months, and have had no problems. It removes scum very effectively, and is easy to empty. The quick disconnect makes it easy to remove the intake tube, leaving the pump attached to the tank, and simply lift the unit off the tank for cleaning. As for adjustments, I simply leave the air intake almost completely open, just snug enough to keep the valve from falling out, and it works perfectly. As for long term reliability I'll just have to see, but don't see any reason to dislike this unit. If it only had a surface skimmer I would give it 5 stars.

I've used a SeaClone100 hanging on back of a 55-gal for about 10 years and it works fine. Keep the O-Rings fresh, clean the joints, intake and filter and it will last for years. I use another SeaClose100 on an 80-gallon and I have to empty the cup every two weeks. Can't find better in this price range.

Aquatic Life Light T5 HO 2-Lamp Link Fresh Aquarium Light, 24-Inch

I bought this light for my first ever planted aquarium (15 gallons). It works great, my plants are growing at a pretty face pace, I have to trim plants every other week.

The light is way better than any stock light for aquarium. This is on a 28 gallon bowfront with lots of plants and fish. The fixture is built well and the glass lexan cover over the bulbs is easy to clean and seems scratch resistant. I did change one bulb (the dim rose one) to a zoo-med ultrasun and it was even brighter. The plants seem to go crazy with this. It does seem a little hot to run, no fan. The price is very good on amazon, much better than anywhere else in town or online.

Aqueon 34500 ProFlex Sump Model 1, 44-55-Gallon

My 77-gallon Aqueon bowfront tank now holds 10 discus, fish sensitive to water condition.

So, I bought the ProFlex Sump which has kept my tank crystal-clear now for months. There is very little maintenance; actually, none unless you want to fool around with the thing.

I made one improvement, I think it is an improvement, anyway. I added several hand-cut filter media in the receiving tray. Every other week, or so, I take the media and wring it out in cold water. That's about it.

Oh, also, I bought some extra bio-balls which I used to completely fill the middle section.

After reading about the fantastic results from bio-balls I was a bit skeptical how could a bunch of plastic balls clean water. Well, somehow (allegedly anaerobic animals gobbling up the poop and pee) it all works out and I have a great looking tank with exotic discus, lots and lots of plants (about 40 or so), snails up the gazoo (which came free as hitch hikers from the lady I bought the plants from) and something really pleasant to look when I'm bored.

About the snails. These things breed like rabbits. This sump has two filter bags in the primary cell. It seems that the snails really love living in these bags because there seems to be a gajillion of them in there. All sizes, too. I guess these snails help out the anaerobic baboons in the clean-up process. I don't bother them much. Just leave 'em in there.

All-in-all I am very happy with this item and I'm also very happy that I started maintaining a fish tank after a 55 year hiatus.

This was a great product and just as described. I received this item right own , time and it was used just as they described..

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

LIghting 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.
