Zoo Med Ultra Sun Trichromatic Super Daylight 6500K Fluorescent Bulb T8 15 Watt, 18-Inch

Zoo Med Ultra Sun Trichromatic Super Daylight 6500K Fluorescent Bulb T8 15 Watt, 18-InchOrdered this light for my 20Gal Xtra-High Freshwater tank, and I'm extremely happy with the quality. It's as bright as a sunny day outside in my tank now, and the live plants I have already seem to be doing better with this.

Highly recommended for anyone who needs a new Aquarium light. Will definitely order again.

Very nice product. I did not use it in an aquarium...I built a "happy light" out of it (for winter blues). Bulbs are made in Germany and seem to emit the UV spectrum as advertised; A UV sensitive bead my child brought home from school indicated this. A similar bulb, bought from a big-box pet store did not emit UV waves, despite the packaging saying it did.

I don't know about the UV waves but this bulb brings a whole new look to my aquarium. Now it is brighter and all the colors are vibrant. It looks so good that now I have to replace the other bulb to match it.

Great light for a 10 gal tank with medium to low-light plants. My plants have experienced excellent growth. Don't keep the light on for more than 9 hours or you will see algae. Planted tanks are a balancing act. Find the right amount of light, the right fertilizer, and the right stocking amount, and your tank will glow with green. This light certainly helped me achieve that. Highly recommend this light for a 10 gal tank.

Marina Hose Brush

Marina Hose BrushI have used this on both fluval 404 and a 204 lines. It is easy to use, and you will be amazed at the gunk you flush out. I run the brush through, then run some water through the filter in my sink.

Once I detached the hoses, but that was such a pain, I didn't do that again.

I'd highly recommend this if you have fluval filters. AND, I'm sure it will work on other canister filter tubing as well.

I can't really tell if water flow is better after cleaning out the tubing, but I'm sure it is improved as well, and that can only be good for both the tank and the canister filter.

I've owned a hydration pack for years and the knew the hose was getting dirty. This brush, although softer than I hoped, works very well to clean out the dirt/gunk buildup inside the hose. It's not long enough to completely push through, so you'll have to go from both sides.

I've only used it once, but it seems sturdy enough for repeated use over years. Hopefully the plastic cord doesn't crack/break

I was a bit skeptical about this product at first but all doubts were removed as soon as I used the brush. I cleaned out my aquarium hoses and filter head and now water is once again flowing through my system beautifully. The reason why I gave this item a 4 out of 5 was because the brush wires are wrapped around a metal head which cannot go around sharp corners. I was still able to get into every nook and cranny so I will definitely be buying another one of these in the future.

For the past few years I have been using a Fluval cleaning brush to clean the tube hoses for my canister filters.

When it comes to cleaning these hoses this brush works well.

I have also used it to clean the straight parts of the intake tubes on my power filters. However, I was looking for a tube cleaning brush that would be able to reach into the 90 degree angles of the U-portion of these tubes, which is next to impossible to clean.

I thought this brush would be able to do so, however, the metal wire which contains the brush bristles is too long

to make the 90 degree turn.

So I am still searching for a tube cleaning brush which can travel through 90 degree angles.

For the money, this is a nice cleaning brush.

Want Marina Hose Brush Discount?

This brush does what it is supposed to do, snake it's way through a fish hose to clean out the gunk. Sure, it does that, but this product could be better

There are barely any bristles on the brush. This means I have to go back in and out often to get a good scrubbing.

Unwinding the body (the white plastic part) is a pain and since it keeps wanting to go back to it's default shape, it is a pain to feed this through a hose

I found that the body would bend often and instead of the brush continuing down the hose, the body was just bending into the house and the brush wasn't moving. Taking it out some and trying again eventually worked.

Honestly, I haven't seen anything that is quite like this. If anyone knows of a similar product that is better be sure to comment. But for now, it does what it needs to do but it takes some work to get there.

Reef Phytoplankton, 500 mL / 17 fl. oz.

Reef Phytoplankton, 500 mL / 17 fl. oz.I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS AND MY PHYTOPLANKTON CLAMS ARE DOING GREAT ON THIS PRODUCT. I WILL ALWAYS USE THIS PRODUCT.

I am not sure if this product really does anything positive for my filter feeders and coral, but it hasn't harmed anything. I have seen a slight increase in algae growth since using this product, likely due to the added nutrients being dumped in the tank, but I can't be positive this product was the cause.

Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System Bubble Counter with Suction Cup and Tubing

Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System Bubble Counter with Suction Cup and TubingThis bubble counter is included in the Hagen Plant Grow Natural System. It is probably one of the most efficient methods of dissolving CO2 into the aquarium water when not using a forced water method.

I think this unit is better than using an air stone, bubbling into an upside down cup and certainly better than just letting an air line bubble into the tank.

In my experience, you will still have CO2 loss because not all the bubbles will be dissolved before they run through the unit and bubble to the surface of the water. However, it is still fairly efficient and very easy to set up. All you do is attached the air line that is connected to your CO2 source to the plastic drip tip that is included and then the bubbles slowly pass through a maze of bubble paths, dig zagging their way until they reach the top of the unit. Like I said, there will still be bubbles that pass through the top and disperse to the surface of the water.

My preferred method to diffusing CO2 bubbles into the water is by forcing water to mix with the bubbles. This can easily be accomplished by using a Rio Power head connected to a small bottle that the CO2 line is also connected to. This should completely dissolve the CO2 bubbles. You can find an already made system online for around 35-50 bucks. Or you can make one yourself for around 15 bucks. I made my own and it works beautifully. You also get the added benefit of having extra water current flow (which most fish appreciate).

But for a simple, cheap and easy to set up solution for dissolving CO2 bubbles into the aquarium, this Hagen diffuser is a good way to go. Make sure when you set it up that you set the unit as low as it will go in the aquarium (the bottom touching the gravel) so that the CO2 bubbles have maximum time to travel before reaching the water surface (and after that wasted).

As far as just a bubble counter, this is probably the most fun unit to watch that you can buy. My kids love watching the bubbles zig zag through the unit until the bubbles reach the top (cheap entertainment).

Don't be dismayed if at first it seems like the bubbles are getting built up in certain areas. This is part of the break-in process and it will fix itself. Once some bio-slime (mmmm, bio slime...) gets built up on it, the bubbles go up the ladder smoothly.

I'm using mine with a homemade CO2 system and I'm already seeing results. I would recommend "The Ladder" to anyone who is using a DIY method and doesn't have enough pressure to properly utilize a ceramic diffuser. Plus, you don't really need a separate bubble counter to monitor your CO2 output. You can see every bubble that comes out and tailor your CO2 production accordingly.

Summary: for the price, seems to work great. Low tech and effective.

Buy Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System Bubble Counter with Suction Cup and Tubing Now

I have used a glass/ceramic diffuser for two years with my yeast based co2 system. This worked well enough and plants have grown pretty well. However, these do get blocked and there is a danger of back pressure causing the bottles to explode. They can be cleaned but sometimes difficult to remove the hose once it becomes hardened without breaking the glass. I also tired of seeing all those tiny bubbles floating around the tank.

I don't know exactly how much co2 dissolved in terms of ppm, however, pH fell from 7.9/8.0 to 7.3/7.4 when I started injecting it 2 yrs ago, so seems pretty effective.

As the diffuser was due for replacement again I decided to try a ladder this time it's brilliant!

I agree that it looks pretty cool to watch, and yes, the bubbles did clump at first but after leaving it overnight it was working properly the following morning. I did fiddle with the angle for some time I think you just need to leave it alone and give it time to settle.

I no longer have loads of tiny bubbles and my pH has dropped further now to 7.0, so this is definitely getting more into the water than the ceramic diffuser did. I also found that the old diffuser tended to create much finer bubbles when the mixture started to tire and the flow rate subsided, meaning that more probably dissolved than did when the mixture was fresh.

The bubbles get much smaller as they travel up the ladder, and as they decrease in size they also slow down. This means they catch up with each other, merge, and pop out of the top about the same size as the bubbles which enter at the bottom. However, they enter at 1 per second at the bottom and pop out of the top about every 10 seconds. This suggest a 90% absorption rate (hope that makes sense!).

Some day these are hard to disguise. This model attaches flat to the side so isn't very wide from the front view at all it is not intrusive in my tank at all.

Of course, the system is now low pressure so the danger of explosion is eliminated.

This is one of the best setups especially if you are running a DIY CO2 system (basically a bottle with sugar and yeast :)

IT is a bubble counter and a difuser all in one. You can watch the bubbles travel up the ladder and if you install a control valve you can adjust how many bubbles come out.

Be careful with installing control valves on diy CO2 as if you close it too much it can blow up and cause a huge mess. Please research these methods before just slapping a bottle together and putting it on your tank

Back to product it is great. If at first you don't succeed wait. :)

Seems to be a very efficient co2 diffuser. Give it about a day for the natural slime to build up on it so the bubbles will slide easily. Good quality stuff, Very easy to set up!

Venus Laboratories CVEPN971306 Earth Friendly Cat Litter Additive, 2-Pound

Venus Laboratories CVEPN971306 Earth Friendly Cat Litter Additive, 2-PoundI have been using this product for about 2 months now. You sprinkle roughly 2 or 3 tablespoons of the fine powder over the litter and it does its magic. Our elderly kitty has Irritable Bowel Disease and suffers from chronic diarrhea. To encourage her to use the litter box instead of the carpet (!) as often as possible, I tried this litter treatment to keep the box a fresher place for her. It has helped eliminate odors certainly, and also seems to help the clumping litter clump more making box cleaning MUCH easier. Highly recommended.

This product made a remarkable difference for us. We have a small apartment with 2 cats. Litterbox in closet. We couldn't even survive without this stuff.

I tried at least 6 or 7 other deodorizers / additives, etc, and this is the only one that worked and it works well!!

There is not that horrible disinfectanty odor associated with it.

The cats didn't have a problem with it.

Aqua Tech Fish Aquarium Magnetic Algae Remover

Aqua Tech Fish Aquarium Magnetic Algae RemoverI bought this magnet at a big box store for about half the price Amazon sells it for. I figured if it didn't work, I wouldn't be out much money. I use it on the little patches of algae that show up in between major monthly cleanings and the more minor water changes I make. I have three fantail goldfish in a 20 gallon glass tank and algae can build up fast. This magnet works better than I expected. It wipes these spots away instantly and keeps the tank looking great! The other review noted it didn't work on acrylic but I can attest to it's effectiveness on glass. This would not be the appropriate method to clean a lot of algae or thicker algae, as that speaks to a different issue that likely is due simply to poor maintenance or even an ill fish. But for "spot cleaning" I would definitely recommend this. Plus it is intriguing enough and simple enough for my young children to want to take part. I just set up the inner magnet and they drag it around with the outer and their hands get nowhere near the water. Definitely has my positive recommendation!

I bought this from a local store at a very cheap price thinking it could be a quick fix to scrubbing off some tough algae spots in my acrylic, hexagon aquarium that I cannot reach with my plastic-handle acrylic scraper. The Aquatech scraper's pads are like a soft felt pad and was only able to remove some soft algae, but not the more coarse algae that is more prevalent in my reef tank. I'm going to spend a little more next time & get the Mag-Float cleaner instead.

Fluval EDGE Digital Aquarium Thermometer - 64 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit

Fluval EDGE Digital Aquarium Thermometer - 64 to 86 degrees FahrenheitI have one of these on all of my aquariums and they all work well. However, beware that they do not under any circumstances give an accurate temperature reading for the tank. I use them as a quick glance guide to make sure that the heaters are working to keep the water temp. in a certain range [since all my heaters are hidden from view behind plants]. Generally, these are off by +/3-5 degrees depending on the temperature differential between the ambient room temp. and that of the aquarium water itself. They seem to be most off when the room is cooler than what the aquarium water temp. should be. So, if you have a very sensitive system which must be maintained at a certain temp. [such as reef aquariums], do yourself the favor and don't rely on this to give you an accurate reading of the water temp. The best tool for this task is an in-aquarium thermometer.

This product definitely works, no doubt about that. I really think they could of done a better job giving you a more accurate temperature. I've noticed it's accurate within 2-4 degrees. The thermometer has such big jumps in the intervals, it goes from 64-68-72-75-79-82-86.

Other than the fact its not extremely accurate it works perfect for what I need. I just use it for a quick glance to ensure my heater is working, which is all I really need. I have a more accurate one I picked up locally that I can look at for more accurate reading.

Buy Fluval EDGE Digital Aquarium Thermometer - 64 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit Now

I agree with other reviewers that the temps this thermometer gives are not anywhere close to accurate, and they range from +/3 degrees from the actual water temperature. In addition, the spread of the temperature gauge is waaaay too much. Don't make the same mistake i did, enlarge the picture and look closely. The gauge goes from 64 degrees to 68 to 72 (etc, etc). What aquariast only wants to know the temp of their tank to within 4 degrees? Couple that with the margain of error of the thermometer and you're looking at a reading that is potentially 7 degrees different then the actual temp of the tank, which is more than enough to kill most fish. This thermometer is total garbage, which is exactly where i'm going to put mine.

Zilla 11840 18-Inch Desert 50 UVB T8 Fluorescent Bulb, 15-Watt

Zilla 11840 18-Inch Desert 50 UVB T8 Fluorescent Bulb, 15-WattI have a bearded dragon and I use this light for the cool side of his tank. It blew and I bought a replacement at the pet store. It was really expensive. So before I made that mistake I looked online and found this one. It was way cheaper, so I bought it as a replacement. The one I bought at the pet store blew in just a few weeks. So I used this and it has lasted for a few months now.

Price on all the reptile bulbs is insane at the pet stores, thankfully Amazon sells for a more reasonable price.

Manufacturer of these bulbs ought to be ashamed of the price they charge for these bulbs, it's a light bulb for crying out loud. Think of the amount of electronics that go into this, it's low tech.. they ought to be about $5 each max.

Hagen Elite Air Pump for Aquarium - 110 V

Hagen Elite Air Pump for Aquarium - 110 VMy 801 Elite air pump is NOT quiet. It is the same style as this 803, but the 801 appears to be unavailable now--I bought mine on Amazon. It is at least as loud as my fridge, which makes it marginally quieter than my Whisper 20, but still way too loud to live in the same house with. I have an ancient Tetra pump that is quiet, but I haven't been able to find any modern pumps nearly so tolerable. I've ordered one of Hagen's new style pumps through Amazon to see if maybe they're reasonably quiet. I'll review that pump after it comes.

This is a great no-frills pump. Works great powering an air wall in a 60 gal aquarium. Not real quiet, I wrap it in a towel on carpeting and that quiets it down big time. It is very powerful, especially for its stated power of up to 20 gallon tanks, and is a great buy at such an inexpensive price compared to other pumps.

Red Sea Reef Foundation Test Kit - Calcium, Alkalinity & Magnesium

Red Sea Reef Foundation Test Kit - Calcium, Alkalinity & MagnesiumFirst off very fast shipping. This is a very good product, this kit has 3 different test with 3 different syringes. The tips of the syringes are color coded and the only mention of the different colors are on the cards when you look at the illustrations, and even then you better have good eyes to see them. And the markings on the syringes are different, so if you use the wrong one, your results will be off. Over all a nice kit, much better packaged and quality than Salifert which I use to use.

I have tried several other manufacturer's kits and I have found this one to be the easiest and best to use.

Before this I was using a Salifert Kit and was getting results that were often hard to read. If you do these tests properly and keep adding the titration drops until you get a full color change that will not change any further then you will get accurate results.

I really like the handheld titration unit which makes it much easier to accurately does single drops will mixing.

Comes with a nice hard case as well as ultra clear glass vials. I really believe it's the best kit out there for the money.

Nutrafin Mini Master Test Kit, Contains 4 Test Parameters

Nutrafin Mini Master Test Kit, Contains 4 Test ParametersProvides the basic tests you need for cycling an aquarium, and maintaining nitrates thereafter. While it's not as accurate as a more "hobbyist" kit, it is a great kit to start to familiarize yourself with testing, and accurate enough for livestock safety. The instructions are rather straight forward, and the color charts more or less match the actual colors produced by the reagents. If you test weekly, this will last at least 6 months or more, which is a great value when you are starting out in the hobby as well. When checking colors, it is a bit easier to hold the bottom against something white and look down the tube for comparison, rather than the side, as the glass tubes change the color a bit (quite common with all testing kits).

We purchased this test kit and it contains the basic tests for what was needed for our freshwater aquariums. We test 5 tanks regularly at home, when we used to take samples all the way to the fish store. The instructions are very easy and we get results within minutes.

The peace of mind that your pets are ok is worth buying quality and reliable brand like NutraFin.

Elite Sponge Filter

Elite Sponge FilterIt's a bit noisy, but it is small enough to use in a 10G tank. The filter turned from white to ... greenish in about 5 days after seeding with a squeeze of media from my large tank. The quarantine fish that were hardy enough to survive the transfer seemed to be getting enough oxygen and did not appear to be getting ammonia poisoning.

I bought several items of this description to compare them, this was the second one i used.

I think it could be improved if it allowed an airstone to make finer bubbles (reducing noise) but it works as advertised and the price was decent.

Just a note: small, family run aquarist shops carry sponge filters of various sorts... big box stores rarely carry them.

If you're in the boonies, buy on amazon; otherwise visit your local small, non-chain store.

Price is right. Doesn't mount very well and is noisy it the tank. Does the job of cleaning the water as it should.For the price it is a good buy

Loving Pets No-Tip with Etched Lines Bowl for Dogs and Cats, 8-Ounce, Pink, 2-Pack

Loving Pets No-Tip with Etched Lines Bowl for Dogs and Cats, 8-Ounce, Pink, 2-PackThese bowls arrived smelling like tires from a factory. The paint job was atrocious; after I washed them I noticed residual spray paint on the inner part of the bowl itself.

Don't waste your money on this product; go to the thrift store and buy some used bowls instead; your cat will be better off.

These little bowls are the prefect size for my two kitties who get half a can of wet food every morning. My previous bowls were too deep, and the poor girls were having a hard time getting the food. I love the cute pink striped look of these, and the rubber ring helps them stay in place.

Ocean Star International A90004 Smooth Bark Tree Stump for Bird Cages, X-Large

Ocean Star International A90004 Smooth Bark Tree Stump for Bird Cages, X-LargeI bought a pair of these to put in our 75 gallon tank with two green severums in it. Out of the box, I was really impressed with the "realness". Very well done. It really adds a nice flooded Amazon basin (not amazon.com!) look to the tank. A month later and they still look great.

Only a couple "problems" with this product: 1) They're a lot harder than real wood, so if your large fish should "crash" into this while zipping somewhere, they'll get some ugly scrapes and boo-boo's. Cure is to not crowd your tank with craggy plastic things, and leave plenty of swimming room. Once I put our "stumps" on opposite sides of the tank, things seem much better. 2) The other problem I've noticed is that they're hollow to the tip of the roots... which means food finds it's way deep down into there, and it's near impossible to get it out unless you invert the thing and hose it out. Also, I think one of our bristlenose pleco's might have just gotten stuck and well... died... in there, but I never see much of our two bristlenose's anyway, so I can't really say for sure.

Nice product, though!

After opening this item i was very happy at the way it looked. I placed the item in my tank (the entire thing is hollow so food and fish poop colleceted in the bottom of the thing) after 4 months i took it out to clean the tank and it fell apart and had rotted( smelled horrid!!) so if you are looking for long term look else were.

Aquarius Aq15000g Glofish Globe Bowl 1-1/2-Gallon Aquarium KitThis is a great product for Bettas and small fish-Guppies etc..i deducted 1 star because the LED Lights do not always function properly. I have 3 Bowls and i am replacing the Lights...other wise they are very good for Glow Fish and Glow Plants, as well as Bettas...Itbwould be wise to purchase a spare set of LED Lights as they are inexpensive..

Bayshore Aquarium BW1SLVR Small Rectangular Wall Aquarium, Silver

Bayshore Aquarium BW1SLVR Small Rectangular Wall Aquarium, SilverI have purchased one of the larger aquariums before and absolutely loved it. Now that I have a smaller apartment I needed something compact but eye catching and these never disappoint. Fairly easy to assemble and very sturdy once done correctly. This one is def smaller so be mindful of your measurements. Does not hold a lot of water. Give about 3-4 inches before you even get the actual aquarium so when you open it you aren't disappointed with the size of what holds water. But if you want a cool small aquarium this is def it!
