Acurel LLC Premium Activated Filter Carbon Aquarium and Pond Filter Accessory, 90-Ounce

I have used 3 different kinds of carbon recently as I am getting back into my aquarium hobby and both of the other brands had lots of small grit with the carbon that gets through the bags and the filter containers that I use. This carbon works much better for me because the chunks are a little larger and there is not as much fine grit that can get loose.

I will be buying this carbon exclusively in the future.

I started using activated carbon for filtering out bad odors in my home. I had a different brand but it was much more expensive for a lot less. I was pleased that this one contains the same quality but is much more economical with the price.

This carbon comes pre-washed and appears cleaner than others I have tried. There was very little carbon dust on the inside of the container. Still, I think that you should always rinse your carbon before using it. Other than that...Its just a lot of activated carbon for a good price.

Nylabone Corn Free/Wheat Free Heart with Real Chicken

My 6 yr old pitbull mix has a wheat allergy and corn isn't easily digestible for dogs anyway, so this treat is perfect!!! She loves the taste

I have a JRT with itchy skin problems. As a physician (not a vet) it is hard for me to explain the skin problems as an IgE mediated reaction (Type I hypersensitivity)but possibly it is an otherwise immune mediated skin manifestation of a food sensitivity. I bought these as part of an approach to minimize allergens in my dogs diet. So far, I cannot say for sure if they are helping or not. He does like these treats (but he eats everything).

Fluval Clearmax Phosphate Remover Filters, 3.5 Ounces - 3-Pack

I have used this product a few times. It is now sold and packaged in a blue box as Fluval Clearmax by Hagen.

When it was Green-X / Phos-X, the media bags were long and thin. With the new packaging they fit the canister filters much better as they are now shaped square.

The product seems to work well enough for me for my marine tank. I have to condition tap for my water changes.

It is difficult to say whether or not there is a real reduction in nitrate. My param seems to remain steady at the low end with regular water changes, but who knows what it would be if I wasn't using it at all?

I acquired fish with closed operculum gills. I wrote to Hagen to ask about the iron content to see if it would be okay for my fish because of the type of gills they have, to which they responded it contains ferric oxide; not okay to use for fish of that type.

I am having to switch to a brand that will not harm my species of fish.(Regular ChemiPure or PhosBan using ferric oxide hydroxide).

While I used this product, I had no complaints. The price was very good compared to other adsorbents and algae remained under control.

I use Fluval Clearmax to condition tap water before water changes. I fill a 5 gallon tank running a small filter using Clearmax with tap water and run it 24 hours minimum. The chlorine off-gasses and the Clearmax reduces the phosphates. It is necessary to change the Clearmax after every fifth refill (25 gallons treated). Then I use the preconditioned water for water changes in my 40 gallon tank. Before adding the Clearmax to this routine I would get dreadful blooms of brown algae. When I first started adding the treated water there was a brief ammonia spike from the algae die-off, but it soon stabilized as my tank was well cycled, with good nitrite and nitrate readings prior to introducing the treated water. I have (gianormous) goldfish, tough as nails, so I cannot speak to it's effect on more delicate species.

I do think using it to treat the water before adding it to the tank, rather than putting it in the live tank filter, may reduce it's impact on the fish, as there is a small amount of black precipitate in the conditioning tank which I do not move to the live tank. I assume the precipitate is primarily iron.

Remove this product during disease treatments. Even various water treatments can cause the ferric oxide to leech out, poisoning your fish. I lost 14 fish after using this during a treatment of parasite medication (only one fish presented with problems prior to treatment). I stopped using it for several weeks. I returned it to filter and noticed the same problems starting to happen again while using a product that is supposed to boost immunity. Something in that product was causing the ferric oxide to leech out as well. Fortunately, I recognized what was happening, removed the Clear Max and did several water changes. I was able to save most of my fish.

I recommend using a product that does not contain ferric oxide to control phosphates if you are unsure how it will react with other products you use. This product does provide crystal clear water but fish health is much more important. I was using it for a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium.

I did not buy this from amazon, and it comes in a new box at the LFS called Clearmax. I found this out the hard way, but this stuff is lethal to certain types of fish and I was using a little less than 50% of the recommended amount. Now it does trap phosphates, nitrites and nitrates as it states on the box. Water tests are coming up practically zero for each range but at the cost of many fish. Arowanas are especially sensitive to this stuff. Please be careful when using. I will never use this stuff again. I bought it thinking it would help remove some phosphates from a freshwater tank with an algae bloom issue when all i really needed was a UV clarifier/sterilizer. I had no issues with the fish before using this stuff other than some algae bloom. I do weekly water changes and all the water tests were good.

Eshopps PSK-75H Hang-On Protein Skimmer - Up to 75 gal.

I really hate this skimmer. When it works, it works OK. The only problem is that it is a bit moody and most times decides that it is waste of energy to work. Being serious, I think the problem is in the pump, which overheats, and as a result the unit stops working. The longest I had it working without dying on me was 10 days. Then it stops, and there are no bubbles, nothing. And then it is a royal pain to start it up again! The water level in the main body is supposed to go up to the collection cup once you block air intake tube. Well, you fingers will go blue but there will be no water movement. If I let the pump work without doing anything for 12-24 hours, then, sometimes, miracle happens, and the skimmer starts working. I go through these up-and-down cycles when I decide that, that's it, I just return it to Eshopps, and then it starts working, and I mellow down for the next 10 days. I have already replaced the pump, but the replacement pump works just like the old one. BUT THIS IS IT! I am contacting Eshopps to-morrow and demanding the refund, after all the damn thing was acting up from the first day I bought it. Do not buy it, unless you want to satisfy your hidden masochistic instincts!

I looked forward to buying this Protein Skimmer, as it had received many good reviews on the web. A key feature was to be its simplicity (as seen in eShopps' promo videos), but has been anything but.

1. When setting up, or just washing, be sure to re-tighten the below gasket, as it often becomes loose, and thus leaks water on the ground.

2. The adjustment mechanism at the top consists of a crude plastic tube (perhaps this is how all Protein Skimmers are, I don't know). It is not very exact, so take caution when turning it to increase the bubble flow. It seems to have no reaction for hours, but then overflows the cup when you're not paying attention.

3. The sponge covering the intake should be cleaned frequently. I deduce that algae in there was a cause of the skimmer overflowing, but I'm not sure.

4. The craftsmanship is poor, as pvc and silicone around the outside of the tube had meaningful gaps.

5. The filter is very very very loud.

6. The pump/motor itself seems to have failed after limited use (3 months). It still produces sound, but no bubbles or flow.

7. I have written customer service about #6 but no response yet after weeks. I've written again and have my fingers crossed. Further, I wrote them several times upon first buying the skimmer but got limited response about missing parts and questions about how it was supposed to work, and it's loud noise.

All in all, I guess it is buyer beware for such an "economical" skimmer, although it's not quite cheap either.

Buy Eshopps PSK-75H Hang-On Protein Skimmer - Up to 75 gal. Now

Just purchased the eshopps PSK 75 and it's very very loud. I opened the pump housing like the Q&A says and there is obviously something very wrong with the pump. It skips and jumps, rattles and is not tight in place. I thought something might be wrong when the skimmer didn't produce any froth it basically looks like fizz from a coca-cola. Also lots of micro bubbles were pouring into my tank. I shut it off put it back in the box and am giving up..

I was really excited to buy this skimmer. Finally got it and of course faulty....

Read Best Reviews of Eshopps PSK-75H Hang-On Protein Skimmer - Up to 75 gal. Here

This really is a great little budget skimmer. I use both the 75H and the 100H. Other reviews have noted that they are not getting skimate. This Skimmer, like most take a while to break in. There are plasticizers and release waxes that are used in the making process that have to get coated with bacterial film or have to disperse before the skimate can be made. Be patient. The other issue I have had is that the needle wheel wants to seize after a while. This was perplexing at first and I even had to order a replacement pump. I finally figured out that the tip of the magnet part of the needle wheel assembly was swelling and binding in the needle wheel part and on the shaft. I have made a video on Youtube about how to fix this very easily. So, if you can follow directions on youtube you can keep this skimmer up and running with no trouble. I have seen that Eshopps is working on using Sicce pumps for these. When that happens I have no doubt that they will be a much better skimmer.

I purchased this skimmer to hang on the back of my Biocube HQI and have had it for a full week now and am toying with the idea of returning it because it doesn't produce foam!!!! I have followed the instruction to the letter. I have searched forums trying to uncover the solution to this mystery with no resolve. I have installed and reinstalled to no avail and still no foam! The pump seems to work fine, the water level filled by covering the air intake tube, there are many bubbles flowing up to water column but then it just looks like a glass of alka-seltzer with no foam. This of course means that all the gunk that it is skimming is collecting in the neck and not being pushed up through the column into the collection cup. Of course this is because there is NO FOAM!!!!! Yes I have used the adjustment tube again and again with no results. Skimming is not the issue, it is the lack of foam needed to push the gunk into the collection cup.

Marina Aquarium Showcase Bulb, 15-Watt, 120-Volt, Clear

In addition to an array of aquariums ranging from 55 gallons and up we keep our Betta in an Aqueon 5 gallon Bow Front.

When the bulb went out, I headed to the local pet store to pick up a replacement no dice, they don't carry them.

Then to both Petco and Petsmart again no dice they don't carry these but both suggested to try Home depot.

So off to Home Depot they carry this size bulb but the lowest wattage is 25 which would throw off far to much heat. I bought one anyway to give poor "Gill" a little much needed light.

But in twenty minutes the temperature, as expected began to rise.

I don't know why I didn't check Amazon to begin with after all we buy virtually everything else here. In fact out of my 120 reviews I would guess 40% are devoted to dog and aquarium supplies go figure.

Sure enough, here they are on Amazon for a mere $3.99 plus with my Prime membership they were shipped via free two day shipping.

The bulbs arrived in perfect condition and are shipped carefully and fast, I purchased a few just to have replacements on hand and considering how difficult these are to find, you'll most likely want to do the same.

Fluval G3 Advanced Filtration System

Like most of you, I did a lot of research before I choose a filter. I have a saltwater 90 gal tank and has been going for three years. I won't get into what kind of filtration I had, but I needed to clean up the green haze in the water. I was not to fond of canister filters because of all the mess you have to go thru, but the Fluval G3 caught my eye. So, after hours of reading all that was available, AND reading all the reviews, I choose the G3. It arrived in two days and well packaged. I had downloaded the instructions on-line and carefully read them. BUT, the best thing I did was to go on YOU-TUBE and watch three vids on the installation of the filter. Before I started with the installation, I did a complete cleaning of the tank along with the standard water change. It was a mess. This would be a challange for ANY filter to take on this project. OK, here we go. I started at 3 pm and was ready to plug it in at 4:45PM. After reading a few reviews about a few problems with the PUSH BULB, I was a bit nervous, BUT I pushed it in a few times, saw the air bubbles come out the return, and plugged it it. AND ..... WALLA. It worked the first time, and with 100% flow. Impressive. I was going to write this review right away, but thought i'd wait for a few days to see if there were any issues. When I got up in the morning, the tank was CRYSTAL CLEAR. I was impressed. Its been four days now and the screen shows a small dip in the water flow. So, I said what the heck, lets pull the filter and clean it. I shut down the filter, lifted the handle, pulled the filter, cleaned it out, put it back into the G3, closed the handle, pumped the button two or three times, and plugged it back in. PRESTO, its back working again with NO mess. Pretty sharp if you ask me. My tank was a mess when installed the G3, so in the four days its been running, I expected to clean the filter sooner than later. Its going to be interesting to see how far the next will take me. OH YEA -The G3 is way quiet, my computer makes more noise than the filter. Am I happy with my decision??? You bet. Good luck in your quest for your next filter. The G3 has been a fine purchase for me.

I've been in the hobby more than 2 decades, and changing canister filters was always a PIA. No more. This little gem makes it easy easy easy, and DRY with its ingenious engineering. Plus, it offers a lots of add-on filter medium options, with 100% flow through. Add to that the cool built in computer read out that tracks with an easy to read line chart over the days the temp, ec, and flow rate flucuations and! blinks to alert you when the temp or ec falls above or below entered ranges... Well, nothing compares to it. My only regret is that it took so long for a company to finally figure out how to make a really good canister filter.

There's no doubt this filter clearly stands alone as the best filter on the market. The three complaints I've read are cost, flow rate and the pre-filter clogging after days of operation. The first, we'll it's been several years now since release and the cost has come down considerably and it's now cheaper than an Eheim Pro 3e and IMHO a better filter when you compare the prefilter option of foam vs Fine polishing media. Flow rate, Hagen's responded to this and claims its superior when you actually consider loaded flow rate, not just what a motor can pump. With regards to the filter clogging, think about it. Muck that was in your tank is now in the filter where it should be. On the other now antiquated filters out there maintenance, if they actually were trapping it, would be a pain, on this filter it's a 2 minute swap with a new pre-filter or 5 minute clean and replace if you prefer. I have a 46G Bow front with 4 African jack Dempseys and do find I need to clean the pre-filter every two weeks to maintain 100% flow rate. The flow rate graph is really nice for letting you know when to do maintenance, there's also programmable schedules for each media to help track and each with optional alert.

Easy maintenance is a key feature, but it's also allows you to quickly changes out your chemical filter to meet a specific condition. Algae starting to take foot, grab your phosphate filter and run it for a few days, nitrate to high grab the nitrate filter. Maintain them all with the triflex filter or use the optional replaceable media filter to use the media of your choice.

EC, time will tell but for now I'll take some indicator over the alternative of no indicator.

The lady that had a priming issue... make sure you prime before you plug it in..it makes ALL the difference as stated in the manual. Priming never been a problem for me, only takes two pumps. She either has a defective unit or didn't read the manual.

On the negative side I'm not thrilled with the suction cup intake and output tube fixtures. I have a film backing on my tank which precludes use of the rear suction cups and I don't want to cut it. I actually found reversing the clamp and putting the large plastic piece in the inside of the tank provides a more stable mount considering only one suction cup is used. I'd also prefer the output y-adapter to be a T-adapter if you planned to use the spray attachment. BTW, the filter comes with the nozzles attached to the y-dapter, you simply pull them off and push on the spray bars or you could have one nozzle and one spraybar if you like. You can get an inline alignment but it would work a bit better with a T then a Y. Both of these are really minor complaints, but they're the only negatives I have. I simply love this filter, it's made fish keeping a joy and a bit more fun as well.

-The G3 is an amazing filter. It is by far the easiest canister to maintain as the cartridges are removed and cleaned w/o even getting your hands wet w/ the brush.

-Dead quiet, and I mean it. You will not even be able to hear it running unless you stick your ear to it.

-LCD screen provides useful information as temp & conductivity, plus reminds you when its time for maintenance.

-Lots of included bio-media (G-nodes)

-Flow is stronger than you think, don't go by just the GPH. I would recommend this filter up to a 55 gallon max. by itself.

-Separate cartridges are sold, such as the Nitrate cartridge which is supposed to help lower and maintain nitrate.

The only thing I will say is that the intake tube isn't that strong, so in terms of picking up waste, it isnt that great by itself. However, an easy solution would be to add a powerhead (I used the aquaclear 50), and it really helps push the waste on the floor into the intake.

Before I purchased the G3, I was comparing/researching numerous amounts of canister filters.

The main problem that seems to be pretty common with many canisters (including some fluval products) is leaking.

The G3 is near impossible to leak, and it is sealed tight.

Just add a powerhead and this will be one the best and high-tech filters you've had.

I have bought two of these filters, the pump failed on one within six months, and the other is limping along until I can find a replacement. Forget about customer service, it's designed to make you give up trying. The pumps are a nightmare to prime, sometimes it takes more than an hour pushing the priming button and reseting the filter by uplugging it again and again before the "microprocessor controlled" pump decides to work. I have had to disassemble the pump probably more than two dozen times when the filter inexplicably shuts down and a "Check Impeller Rotor" message comes up, and yet nothing appears to be amiss. That's followed by the usual priming nightmare. In fact, getting the filter primed is such an unpleasent experience, you are reluctant to clean it. What fun! Then the delecate plastic "ears" on the mechanical filter snap off without any mishandeling, and it really doesn't keep the water that clean anyway. To all this is added the fact that the GPM is seriously overrated; I am sure it doesn't aproach half of what's advertzed.

The Fluval G3 is a clever concept, very, very poorly executed. Beware! Whay pay twice what other pumps cost for that? I never will again.

I've had a Koi pond for 8 years now. Prior to this year, I stopped feeding them (Tetra Koi Viabrance) after the water drops below 50 deg (Oct Mar). My fish were fine each spring. This year I saw this online, and said what the heck, I'll give it a try. The fish will eat the stuff, but at a much lower rate than the regular season (which is normal). Problem is, this box is too big for my needs (with only 13 fish). I only saw 2 sizes, this and 7.05 ounce can, which was $10 versus $15 for this. I wish they had a package that was half this size (but bigger than can), cause the fish won't eat all of this between the fall & spring of next year. I don't know if they really need this stuff as I mentioned above, but for the price I figure it can't hurt to feed them until water hits below 40 deg.

U.P. Aqua Mini Thermometer (F)

As the product title states, it's a mini thermometer. The only temps listed are in increments of 10 deg with a 5 deg mark in-between. You won't be able to read a precise temp from it, but it's decent for a rough guess if that's all you need. As far as accuracy, it's hard to tell because reading it's always a "best guess." I used a digital thermometer to try to measure this products accuracy and from what I could tell, the digital thermometer always read about 3-4 degrees higher. I decided this wasn't worth the effort of guessing and stopped using it.

Would not recommend unless your not interested in a true reading and only need a 5 degree range.

Lok-Tite® Air Regulator Gang Valves for Aquariums

I bought this product because I knew I was going to run multiple air stones off one air pump and I wanted to control the air flow better than simply using a splitter.

My air pump is a Rena 400 with two outlets, which works out nicely because this Air Control Valve has two inlets (it comes with a plastic plug for one of the inlets just in case your air pump only has one outlet). I have an undergravel filter which uses four of the ports and a 12" airstone running off the fifth port.

During my initial setup, I had to tweak all four ports to make sure the air coming out of each stone was what I wanted. This valve allowed me to do that well. Since it's plastic and not metal, the fine tuning was a little more difficult. However, this wasn't a big problem, it just took an extra couple of minutes. Once it was set, I haven't had to mess with it again. We'll see what happens when I have to change out my air stones.

Lever valves are a bit stiff and hard to regulate. The housing is a bit thick so my hood doesn't close well. It's way too "beefy"

Coralife 05495 Actinic Square Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 96-Watt

When I started to use these as a boots to the growth of my vegetation, I didn't realize that it could help that much. I had all kinds of algae growth in the tank.

Let me 1st start off by saying techically the light is a 5 start product! I have NO problem with the light, works perfect with my MH fixture. The low stars are because the person(s) who is packaging these puts the light in a long box, tapes it, and shipped it, WITHOUT ANY packaging material (no paper, no foam, etc.). Of course, when you ship a light bulb without any 'cushioning' it arrives broken in pieces. My order was for ONE bulb, but they had to re-ship it 4 TIMES because it kept showing up broken because none of the packages contained packaging.

1st buld shattered NO packaging (amazon re-shipped)

2nd bulb shattered NO packaging (amazon re-shipped)

3rd bulb shattered NO packaging (amazon re-shipped)

4th bulb arriced undamged still NO packaging (LUCKY)

I'm a prime member so all these were shipped 2nd day so this process took a little over a week to finally get a undamaged one. However, if you are a normal member and pick the free shipping and keep getting broken lights this could be a month process (depending on what Amazon would do for you) I provided feedback on the shipping (lack of packaging) on every light but it did not make a difference. I even called Amazon (reps were great), but they said it would take a couple weeks for them to make contact with the warehouse to straighten it out.

I hope Amazon has or will correct this issue soon as they light is great and at a great price. If Amazon address this issue (and lets me know) I will be more than happy to up my stars to 5 for the actual product.

My old transformer broke, I found this one. It was described perfectly and arrived promptly. I recommend this to anyone who needs a replacement.

My original transformer cracked. This was a great and easy fix. Just unplug the old part, and plug this in. No extra wiring or anything. Love it.

I purchased this item because the one that came with the Orb aquarium broke within a very short amount of time. This left the fish in the aquarium with no oxygenation of the water. I paid for expedited shipping so that I could get things back to normal in the shortest amount of time. If it had been available at the pet store, I would have purchased it there since the safety of the fish was at stake. This was my only option. I received the unit as scheduled and immediately plugged it in. It started right up and everything seemed well with the world again. Then, within two weeks of getting the unit, I came home from work to find the aqaurium dark again with no pump action. The unit was dead, and the idea of returning it was abandoned because I had already discarded the paperwork . . . that was my fault. This review has nothing to do with the supplier, it is completely about the product . . . it is a great idea . . . just a poorly made unit.
