Acurel F 25
I haven't had a decent clear tank of water since I first set up my tank. It's a little 5.5 Gallon. The only time it was clear was when I first filled it. Since then... it's been various levels of cloudiness. I filled it with Well water. I added the recommended conditioners. It being a new tank, I added "seed" fish (Fathead Minnows). All but one of the fish died. I had a very bad case of New Tank Syndrome. I decided to start over. I cleaned the heck out of everything. This time I used Spring water. I added the conditioners. It started out crystal clear... but after a couple of days, clouded up again. I used a water clarifier... a floculant type... it did zip... a waste of money. The water tested OK... but remained cloudy. I decided to be patient. I did a lot of research... joined forums... I followed all the advice I could find about setting up a new tank... and getting the water right biologically. I added this, that, and the other thing... as recommended. Nothing Worked. I used 3 other water treatment products that all made fantastic claims about creating a crystal clear, biologically balanced, environment in my aquarium.
2 1/2 months into it with my cloudy tank, and just one Fathead Minnow left... he was from the first batch... apparently a hardy little guy. Just for fun, I added a Crayfish that I found in a nearby creek (tons of fun, extremely entertaining, super hardy and easy to care for... and gets along great with my Fathead Minnow). He's doing awesome, but eats vegetables, algea wafers, frozen shrimp, etc... anything/everything you throw in the tank. The water was always cloudy... and I thought, with the salad bar my Crayfish was eating... the water would never clear up.
I wandered into Petco to browse around. I found the "Acurel F" and read the label. I thought, Ok, I'll bite. I bought the "Accurel F", but didn't get my hopes up. I followed the directions. I added 2 drops per gallon (the minimum recommended amount). About 2 hours later I checked it. It was very clear, a significant difference... but I thought not quite a 100%. I added 5 more drops. The recommendations were to start with 2-4 drops so I was still in the range. Within 4 hours, as stated on the package... Crystal Clear Water. Beautiful!
My recommendation... start with the lowest dose... and work your way up as necessary. I've been maintaining the clarity in my 5.5 Gal. tank with just 2 drops a day.
"Accurel F" Awesome Product.Acurel F is the best thing i have ever used in my tank.the water was so cloudy from the sun hitting the tank i even got a H.O.T. Magnum Canister Filter and helped alot but still couldnt stop it... and after likr 5 hours is was all over and never seen water so clean any place i have ever seen tanks..must get it i have tryed alot of other brands and didnt do a thing skip all of them and get Acurel F

Marineland Eclipse Hex 5 Intergrated Aquarium System (5 Gal)
I don't recommend this for a goldfish tank as goldfish are very messy fish and will out grow this tank in less than 6 months. I currently have 5 neon tetras and 6 t-bone rasboras. This is a nice combo cause rasboras are top of the tank fish and neons are bottom of the tank dwellers.
Easy to clean, pump works well and is very quiet.Please do your research on what fish can tolerate a small 5 gallon tank before you get fish for this tank.
This is the perfect tank for my Betta fish and 3 ghost shrimp! It is not only a beautiful tank, but I like that the footprint is smaller than a regular rectangle 5 gallon tank. The filter current is not too strong for our Betta (which is something to consider with filters and Bettas). I have a decorated it with a couple large leaf silk plant (silk plants are best for Betta so as to not damage their fins) and black gravel so the ghost shrimp are more visible. I also put in a bridge decoration that either the shrimp or our Betta like to hang out under.
The Betta hammock is also a good buy for the Betta to lounge on near the surface, which they enjoy. Best Quality Betta Bed Leaf Hammock / Size By Zoo Med Laboratories
I recommend getting the freshwater master test kit, too API Freshwater Master Test Kit so you can test your water weekly to ensure the safety of your fish. Don't forget your weekly partial water changes!
You should also get a thermometer (the ones that go in the water are best) Marina Floating Thermometer with Suction Cup and also a heater, required for tropical Betta fish (we keep our betta's water temp at 78) and have this heater Aqueon 100009498 Aqueon Submersible Heater / Size (50 Watt). We tried a different heater at first, and it was terrible because it was not adjustable and kept the water at 82! Too hot! But the Aqueon 50 watt keeps the temp exactly where it needs to be. It's not very pretty, so just stick a plant in front of it ;)
We love this hex 5 tank! Beautiful, easy to set-up, easy to use!

Catalina Aquarium CA 4000 Aqua Pump / Powerhead 1300 GPH
Buy Catalina Aquarium CA 4000 Aqua Pump / Powerhead 1300 GPH Now
I purchased this pump to in hopes that it would be quieter than the one I had already, plus I needed a bit more power. This pump delivered the power as advertised but it is very noisy. I wrote to the company and got a prompt reply. They tried hard to help me and sent me a new impeller to try. The new impeller didn't fix the problem. I switched to a pump made by Lifegard called "Quiet One."Read Best Reviews of Catalina Aquarium CA 4000 Aqua Pump / Powerhead 1300 GPH Here
Been running this pump for a year and a half without stopping.I only stop the pump when I do a water change for about 30 minutes then I start up the pump again.
No problems so far.
Want Catalina Aquarium CA 4000 Aqua Pump / Powerhead 1300 GPH Discount?
If your looking for a pump that will be pumping the water upwards meaning max head for a sump system go to the pumps website first wether it be this brand or another and check first because you could save some money if your attaching a hose that will need to go 4ft straight up to the aquarium. This pump that says 1300 gph or say the Catalina 2200, 3000 or 6000 which say different gph, some more, some less but if you need to pump water 4 ft straight up to your aquarium these end up pumping pretty close to the same amount of water.Monday, January 27, 2014
K&H Ultimate All-In-One Stock Tank De-Icer Removable Floater Ring
The quality is perfectly fine, and the engineering is clearly geared towards being able to withstand curious equines.. I don't know that they are built to last till the end of the earth, but they are solid and should work at least a couple of years. At about 10% of a cost of typical vet colic call, I'd say they are well worth the money (not to mention now I can sit in my house, in my pyjamas and have my morning coffee without worrying that i have to go break the horses' water again ... and again, and again and again).
I think the reviewers who said they do not work might be either (1) trying to heat too large of an area (a pond? really????) or (2) just got defective units, which happens with all electrical appliances now and then. Either that or we got really lucky but none of our five have had any problems at all and they do exactly what they are intended to do at a good price with minimum fuss required. If one of mine broke I'd buy another one in without a second thought.Bought this for my 700 gallon pond after the Farm Innovators Heated Pond Saucer Model PS-200, 200-Watt deicer started to trip my GFI after only 2 months of use! (After taking that one from the water, could hear water slooshing around inside the disk.)
Seems like a good design because of the option to have it float or not, the 250 watt option and it's not a disk that will eventually leak in water.
I was leery of buying this because it said it is for a stock tank but the coils are surrounded so I don't see a way that it could damage a pond liner.
This one has kept the water open for the 1-2 months since I've bought it. I just hope I'm able to use it next year!

We are using this de-icer in a 50 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. It works great! We took off the float part to make it submersible, the horses are leaving it alone. The clip keeps the cord somewhat secure to the side. Temps dropped to 18F last night and no ice to be seen in the tank.Check the website for K&H Manufacture to see what zone you are in and which wattage will work best for you. I was surprised to find that a 250w would work with a 50 gallon, but it does. Less of a drain our electric and wallet!
For us and our horses, this was a good buy!

Wow! I cannot believe the performance of this mighty 250W de-icer. Right after I purchased it, we had 3 weeks of below freezing weather so it got a work-out. The K&H is in a 150 gallon tank (it is only rated for 30 gal in our climate). Occasionally in the morning there is some ice on the edges, but plenty of ice free water for my horses. I am planning to purchase another for a second tank. This is a great product.Want K&H Ultimate All-In-One Stock Tank De-Icer Removable Floater Ring Discount?
All I can say is buy them!!! Awesome heater, using them out at the farm in 100 gallon water tanks with no problem here in Kansas City, Missouri, the 500 watt model also......a real electric saver! the plastic housings do not rust and discolor the water like other cage models do! I just ordered two more!! Fast shipping ,,, great seller!Monday, January 13, 2014

Great Price on this Item. Lowest price i have seen anywhere.usually are 2-3 dollars higher in price at other locations.This is very watered down but it does well in getting the job done. If you are looking at these it's a good brand but I would recommend spending a little more and getting one that is higher concentrated.

Buy All Glass Aquarium AAG21530 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 30-Inch Now
This light and hood is as described and functions well, however the included light bulb is not as bright as some of the others that I have had. Also the included instructions were not for the proper item, but that is not that important. I did have a difficult time cutting out the holes for the filter and heater to fit in the back, maybe there was a trick to it, but like I said I did not have the instructions. Otherwise so far so good.Read Best Reviews of All Glass Aquarium AAG21530 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 30-Inch Here

Our 3 year old toy poodle loves fruit. She loves these! Nice back up to having to buy fresh fruit that sometimes get eaten in time. Plus it gives her a variety instead of just blueberries for a week. The smell when opening the bag is overwhelming but other than that great product.Wednesday, September 25, 2013
