I"m not usually into fake plants, but this one looks great...especially after it's been in the tank for a while. It's probably as good as it gets if you're in the market for a low maintenance, realistic looking fake plant.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Tetra Half Moon Aquarium Kit With Led

Great and very unique looking aquarium. Perfect view from all angles when against the wall. The included LED light looks great, especially the blue LEDs to mimic moonlight at night. The light is definitely not powerful enough for growing freshwater plants though, as I had to upgrade to 3 compact florescent lights, which also meant not being able to use the included acrylic top any longer. In all a great aquarium, that looks beautiful, and is perfect as is for a fish only aquarium. Surprisingly I found it way cheaper at Petsmart though; very rare to see anyone beat Amazon's prices anymore.

Marineland Classic Aquarium Kit, 4-Gallon

I got this to house a male platy. The filter was VERY loud and produced such a strong current that he was having a hard time swimming around. Since this filter does not have any way to adjust the flow, I installed a small sponge filter and tried to unhook the filter that came with the tank. Well, the joke is on me because the lighting and filter system is on the same circuit, so you cannot unhook one and still have the other. I would not recommend this to anyone and wish I'd never gotten it.

Just bought this the other day to house my two little fancy guppies. This is my first aquarium purchase ever, so I had no idea what to look for/watch out for. It's a little cumbersome to set up with the LEDs and the filter; there are no markers for what plugs into what (though the directions tell you there are).

The water flow/current is an issue. When I feed my guppies, the food quickly gets whisked away by the current from the water coming into the tank. They find the food eventually, but there's a lot of water movement at the top of the tank due to the filter assembly pouring the filtered water back into the tank. Guppies are top of the tank dwellers, so they have a tough time up there since there's so much movement. I do see them hanging out behind where the water splashes out since there's less water movement back there. I need to find some way to adjust the flow; sadly, there's no built-in way to slow down the outpour of filtered water back into the tank. I'm thinking of shoving some kind of sponge in there to break up the current.

The filter isn't loud, but the splashing water is. I could hear it when I went to bed last night. Small house, but still, that's some loud water!

The plexiglass is fine, but know that it does scratch easily. When the tank is full, there is some bow to the sides, but it's very minimal. Knowing what I know now, I'd opt for glass next time.

It's a nice-looking tank, I will say that. The LEDs are nice (you have a "day" light and a "evening" light; unfortunately, YOU have to turn it off each night see next paragraph) and it's a nice simple, clean design. Nice size for a desk or kitchen table or counterop. Setup took about 20 mins. and I initally put the tank on the little plastic stand backwards. If the back parts don't all nicely notch together, you've likely got your plexiglass tank on backwards.

Light and filter are on the same power cord, so you can't put the aquarium on a timer since when the unit is off, light and filter are off. You also cannot power off the filter assembly via a button; you have to unplug it. Also, since the top (light hood) has the LEDs wired into it, you cannot remove the top entirely... you have to sort-of balance it on top of the filter box when you need to do something like change water or clean.

Also, the little clear aquarium cover doesn't snap in, it just sits in a notch on top of the LED light hood, so every time I go to take the light hood off for water changes, the clear aquarium cover falls off. Drives me nuts!

Even though it's been a few days, I can say I WOULD NOT recommend this tank if you're getting a fish like a Betta or a top-dwelling fish like a fancy guppy. The little missing touches are what makes this tank a little frustrating. For the price, it was OK, but but there are better options out there and I'm kickking myself for not doing more research on tanks.

I used this tank for a reef tank with 2 clownfish. Some of the other reviews say that the flow is too strong for their tank however, for me it's perfect! It eliminates the need for a powerhead. Also I have a lot of experience with nano tanks so I recommend you knowing a few things before getting this. I myself changed the tank a lot with lighting by added more LED's. Also with the filter I like it. It is powerful and works well. I had enough room to put in bio from my other reef in the tank to skip the cycle and with the combined filter pad and a bio wheel keeps my tank clean. I do see the problems that others have faced, but with my experience iv been able to modify and combat those problems. So overall this is not for a beginner especially if you're doing a saltwater tank.

i had this tank set up for one week. it is now in the garbage. assembly is a hassle. you can't simply take the lid off to clean the tank or do water changes or feed frogs because it is connected via the cluster of wiring. the wiring is a nightmare. you can't shut off just the lights or just the filter or put a light on a timer because they're on the same circuit. the tank is acrylic which means if you put any sort of ornamental rocks in the tank you're likely to scratch it. its also super thin and not very sturdy. if you manage to get the lid to sit on correctly (mine was warped) you will soon find that condensation drips from the lid to the outside of the sides of the tank. the water from the filter is also loud and annoying. i got a 5.5 gallon kit from petsmart for $30 on sale, and the only thing i didn't like was the light, and i swapped the bulb out for $10 and i love it. opt for that route, and avoid this trainwreck

With numerous aquaria throughout our home, we thought it would be fun for our son to have a starter setup in his bedroom. Having had good experiences in the past with Bio-Wheel designs and Marineland products, we opted for this entry level kit. Assembly was tricky due to a lack of color-coding on the various male/female electrical couplers. Through trial-and-error, we solved this step. The kibosh was turning on the filter. It sounded like our Rancillio coffee grinder. I turned it off, inspected the impeller, found it to be of the lowest quality. Cheap, bent, cavitating wildly. I expected the Bio-Wheel to make some splashing noise, but the impeller could be heard downstairs in our living room. And we expected our son to SLEEP with this aquarium in his bedroom? Transferred his fish to a quarantine tank, boxed this kit up and made it go away. Purchased a Fluval Spec, all is good in our world.

Taam ATA00799 Rio Mini Sun Daylight and Deep Blue Aquarium Light

Pros: This light is the perfect size for my 3 gallon tank.

Cons: Doesn't work with light timer; bulb is not replaceable once it burns out; bulb only lasted about 4 months.

I am posting this review to let people know that there is no moonlight "adaptor". It uses a combination of blue and white LEDs. I was under the impression that I would be able to switch between the two lights, but that is not the case. There are only two settings, on and off.

I use it on a 29 gallon terrarium. The light reaches to all points of the tank that aren't blocked by something. It is strong enough to create shadows where tank decorations are in the way.

The clamp is not wide enough to fit on the rim of my tank. Included is a small piece of black plastic thingy that you can screw onto a surface and then clamp your light to it. I didn't want to screw anything into my tank, so I used gorilla glue to attach it to the outside top rim of my tank.

I am torn between a 3 and 4 star rating, because I AM able to see my terrarium at night. But the description about an adaptor is incorrect. Hence the 3 stars.

Great little light for my guppy bowl which is a 2 gallon giant brandy snifter. Few other lights had an option to accomodate so thin an edge. My aquarium plants are now thriving. The moonlight blue daylight combination enhanced the fish colors. One down side it the need to manually turn in off and on. I would prefer if it worked on a timer. But the fish have trained nicely to the light, that feeding time is at hand. Smooth transaction and prompt delivery.

I was also under the impression that there would be an adaptor to switch from white to blue LEDs for day or night lighting. Not the case! The blue & white lights come out looking very moonlight-ish to me.

The light is also much tinier than I expected. It only lights up about half of my 33 gal tank, so I wouldn't recommend it for tanks bigger than 15 gal. It fits up to 1/4" rim, so make sure you measure before purchasing! 1/4" inch is a TIGHT fit, so think about your positioning because it will be difficult to reposition afterwards.

If I had read the comment about the light bulb not being replaceable, I would have never bought this product. 30$ for four months of use is definitely not worth it. Next time I'm buying a regular desk lamp!

Aqueon Quietflow Submersible Aquarium Utility Pump 8000

I have a 180 gallon freshwater african cichlid tank. I have a wet dry filtration system with 35 gallon sump tank.

My old pump was (Mag 3 pump) was only pumping about 200gph and was very noisy.

As soon as I installed the Aqueon QuietFlow Submersible Utility Pump 8000 (Model AQ8000) I noticed the difference in water circulation instantly. WOW!!!! This pump is AWSOME!!! This pump in rated about 1800gph with my setup. My fish love the new currents and fresh clean circulation throughout the (180 gallon) tank with no dead spots.

I only had the pump for about 2 weeks but so far so good. I recommend this pump for 180 gallon tanks or above.

Design Elements Yellow Coral Aquarium Ornament

This is pretty cool, it is much more green than yellow, the whole center is green and then there's a 1/4 inch band around the outside that is yellow. The base is black and it turned the sand in my tank black. It seems kind of sharp and rough but the fish don't seem to care. I have one cichlid who has dug the sand out from under the edge and uses this as his "spot."

Nice piece with good colors but note that the middle of it is much more green than it looks, very much two tone.

Bio-Floss® Filter Media for Cascade® Canister Filter Pumps, 6-pack

I usually clean out my canister once or twice a month, so I always check to see the price on these. I've seen Amazon sell these from six up to ten dollars and change. These filters get dirty really fast, so I recommend replacing them at least once a month. I prefer these over the bonded filter pads because these seem to absorb more dirt, and you don't have to cut them. I still alternate between bonded filter pads and these. Keep an eye out for their low price which fluctuates almost daily.

What can I say, the fit perfectly in my Cascade 1000 pump. They last about 2 months, which would vary based on bio-load. I bought a second sponge for the bottom tray. 2 tray of SeaChem Matrix in the middle trays. Seachem Purigen and one biofloss in the top tray. Tank is crystal clear, almost like the fishing are floating in air.

Dog Mate Medium Dog Door Brown

We purchased this for our large cat, who did not quite fit through a standard size cat flap. The only thing we didn't like about this flap were the plastic space-fillers that were included to fill in gaps between the door and the cat flap itself. These are necessary depending on the width of the door you are installing the flap on. Although they would have worked, we chose to actually cut small pieces of plywood and use those instead. Overall, I would recommend this product. It is quiet and easy for pets to use.

This was hard to install and I thought it would be easier for my little dogs to open based on reviews, but it wasn't. This had to accommodate both a big dog and two little ones. Don't know if any other door would be better, but this one my little guys can't use. The big guy does fine with it. I also don't like the way it closes. It's a flimsy plastic closure and hard to close well.

The price point on this product seems like a good deal At first it's probably because it's can it take you hours to assemble. It comes in many pieces and requires a fair amount of cutting of bolts and plastics to accommodate your door. Worst of all once assembled the product quickly fades and falls apart.

Marina Betta Kit Decorative Gravel, Pink

For whatever reason, I thought this would be a bigger package. Turns out 1 pound of gravel doesn't cover a lot of tank. Maybe enough for a small betta bowl, or to mix and match with other colors to make for a prettier bowl. I ended up buying another bag at the local pet shop in order to have enough to fill the bowl

make sure you read the amount, of only 8.5oz, hardly enough for a coating on the little 1.5gallon tank

at this price it is almost the same price for the 5 lb bags(80oz) you can get at the pet store

it does seem like a good quality stone on the plus side

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Triad Retro Kit For Whisper 12 Or 3 Filters

These are you basic bio filter pads for tetra power filters. I had accidentally thrown mine away when I cleaned my tank out and I needed to find new ones.

Because of the price and the fact these are supposed to fit Whisper 30/40/60 Power Filters and the Whisper Power Filter uses TWO filtration pads and bio filters I was under the assumption that I'd be getting TWO bio filter pads. LIKE PICTURED IN THE DESCRIPTION.

So imagine my surprise when I got it in the mail and had only gotten a single one. These things are cheap as hell, all they are is some abrasive scrubby pads in a plastic frame case, you could easily go and make these yourself for a quarter of the price.

These aren't worth the price for simply one when you include shipping and handling as well. I think Amazon DOT Com should force them to alter the picture to only show a single bio pad because as is right now it can be misleading.

Eco Plus Large Round Air Stone

Strong bubbles. Had it for a couple months now and still works like a champ.

Great for cloning if your trying hydroponics. The bubbles the stone creates splash the stems perfectly for even distribution.

The air stone I received did not look like the one in the picture. Instead, it looked almost exactly like this:Hydrofarm ASCL Large Active Aqua Air Stone Cylinder, which I ordered for comparison. The only difference was that the sealant used to secure the fitting was more like cement rather than rubber sealant. The other product is also a dollar cheaper. However, because they are so similar they probably will be similarly good.

Update: Be sure to have a powerful pump to use this air-stone to full effect. Something rated for up to 20 gallons is too little; bubbles will only come out of the top where the fitting enters the stone. Added a star because it works fine with a 7.8L/min pump.

Red Sea Fish Pharm ARE50184 Deluxe Prizm Upgrade Kit Protein Skimmer for Aquarium

First I have a Fish only live rock marine aquarium. 30 gallon. Ive got a fluval 304 canister filter and the prism skimmer. I bought this skimmer attachment because I wanted to remove the "scum" film from the top of the water. The item says it's a surface skimmer. I think that is stretching the definition of a surface skimmer. It draws water from the top inch of the aqauarium but it would be very difficult to get it to "skim" the surface all the time without constant adjustment. The problem is the height adjustment is mechanical. You have to move a lever and adjust the height of the surface skimmer, so after adjusting the surface skimmer to get a slight "waterfall effect" so that it is "skimming" the surface all is good until water evaporates and now not enough water is falling into the surface skimmer cup to keep up with the pump. I would have to top off the water in the tank and re adjust the surface skimmer cup everyday to get a true "Surface skim". I guess I will adjust it when I have time once a week to get the scum off the surface and then lower it the rest of the time so it will not starve itself of water when evaporation happens. It would be really nice if it had some type of flotation on it that would let the skimmer cup constantly adjust to the water level. It would be a 6 star if that was the case. Other than the adjustment issue. It seems to be built good and it fit onto the skimmer with no problem. I'm going to keep it and use it. I was not impressed with the options for surface skimmer intakes for the canister filter. They all stuck to the side of the aquarium with suction cups and well I have good luck with suction cups for about a week.

Zoo Med African Mopani Wood Jumbo

I love the size of the jumbo because I use it in my 135 gallon aquarium as a center piece and my cichlids like to excavate tunnels beneath it.The piece I recieved is about 31" long by 8" at it's widest and 7" tall. I just orderd two more because the free shipping was almost as much as the wood itself because I live in Hawaii and if I found one as nice as this one here it would probably be about 80 bucks

This piece of wood is HUGE! It weighed 30lbs, was about 28 inches by 21 inches by 18 inches. Be forewarned...it is truly a Jumbo piece of wood. I had to cut mine into 3 pieces but it was fairly easy. It is beautiful in the aquarium(I only have one piece from the Jumbo and the medium piece I ordered along with this one in the aquarium but the other 2 pieces from the Jumbo piece are beautiful and I am using them as decorations around my aquarium stand). I have a 75 gallon aquarium and it does release tannin's no matter how long you soak it. I soaked it about 4 days and it has been in the aquarium for about 4 days. Add extra carbon and it helps greatly. The best thing is water changes!! The lighter pieces release less and lighter tannin's than the darker pieces. I will post some pictures in the coming days. I highly recommend this beautiful wood!!

I ordered the Large along with this Jumbo sized Mopani. The Jumbo wasn't much larger than the Large but quite a bit heavier. Both very beautiful pieces of wood. Just remember to either boil the wood for a few hours or soaking in water for a few weeks if you are using it in a aquarium. It'll leach tannin's into the water making it darker. Boiling and soaking prior to tank use will still not stop it from leaching but at least it will shorten the time before it stops doing it.

API Replacement Test Tubes with Caps

The picture is not what I got. What I got was the API testtubes which I am happy with. They are the exact same that came with all the API tests that I already have. And to make your life easier if you have a bunch of these get one of these: "Karter Scientific 208V2 Plastic Test Tube Rack for 12/13mm Tubes, Holds 50, Detachable" Its a perfect fit.

If you use the API test kits then you may want to get these to go along with it. These are simply replacement tubes for the API kit so they are the exact same as what comes in the kit (clear tube with a 5 ml mark and a cap). And since they are somewhat fragile you will eventually need some replacements. Also helps out to have multiple test tubes if you are testing multiple tanks at once, in my case, 6. Its a lot easier filling a bunch of tubes at once for testing than using, rinsing and reusing the same few tubes over and over for one batch of tests.
