Jebo Aquarium Fish Tank Automatic Heaters 100w 40gal

Jebo Aquarium Fish Tank Automatic Heaters 100w 40galI have one of these heaters, and for some reason it allows the tank temperature to fluctuate quite a bit. :(

This heater came preset. I didn't have to adjust anything. I am using it in a 30 gal tank. It keeps the water at just the temp I want for my tropical fish. The temperature has remained constant. I had tried other brands, but they didn't do what I wanted so I searched on Amazon and found this brand. I am totally happy. I bought more for my other tanks because I was so pleased with the accuracy and temps holding constant.

Coralife 76000 Pure-Flo II 24-Gallon Per Day 3 Stage System

Coralife 76000 Pure-Flo II 24-Gallon Per Day 3 Stage SystemIt works great and after some tinkering, doesn't leak.

BIG issue and the one that cost it a star is the adapter included to attach to a sink is useless. It will pop out under the smallest amount of water pressure and lose its threading. A five dollar part from Lowe's fixed the problem. When you go to your hardware store (and you will if you buy this unit) ask for an attachment to hook up a garden hose to your faucet. Take the cheapo one with you and you can test it in the sample adapter display these places have.

If you don't have any on hand, pick up some teflon tape and redo all the seals into which the colored hoses enter. Your floor will be glad you did.

Worthwhile but requires some tinkering to get it going.

We purchased this unit to supply clean water for a 75 gallon salt tank. I didn't try to hook this up to the kitchen faucet as it was going into the basement and dumping out into a food grade trash can. The unit was easy to install and worked properly right out of the box. Although this filter is not 'graded' for food quality I had to taste it! It actually tasted good, better than bottled water and much less TDS (total dissolved solids). My brother had just purchased a RO unit for his house that hooked up to the faucet, it too was a three stage but he paid over 500 without a extra reservoir tank. He brought some of his filtered water over to my house and we compared TDS with a calibrated meter, his was 0.74 and ours tested at 0.09. He agreed that ours even tasted better but again, I don't think its rated or designed for drinking? Either way, we have been drinking from it (filling 5 gallon water jugs) for over a year now and its been the best 130 bucks we have spent. No, we don't drink out of the garbage can, I just swap out 5 gallon drinking jugs and the garbage can is used to fill the fish tank.

For those that have never used a RO unit before, just be aware that it takes about 3 gallons of tap water to make 1 gallon of clean. Not complaining just don't freak out when you get your first water bill!

We got tired of buying plastic jug after plastic jug of distilled water for our acquaria and got this instead. It may be a while before this thing pays off but at least we don't go thru a land fill worth worth of plastic jugs. It was simple to set up and works exactly as advertised. We did need to replace the washer used for the faucet attachment with a softer one, courtesy of our plumber.

Great RO unit for the price.

BUT...

I almost thought I would have to return it because I could not for the life of me find a way to attach it to a sink without a MASSIVE amount of leakage... Finally I found that it fit on the garden hose faucet.

I really wish I could attach this to one of my sinks inside, its gets really annoying to attach and un-attach the unit every time I need to make RO water.

Maybe one day I'll be able to find a piece to attach this unit to my sink without a problem. For now I'll just have to deal with trudging this thing once a week indoors and out. Good thing I don't live in a snowy place lol.

***If anyone reading this review HAS found such a piece please send an email my way :) ***

Pure-Flo II RO Unit TFC 2 Canister 24 gpd The quality of this item exceeded my expectations and performs great. An RO unit works better the more it is used, so don't make the mistake of spending more for a higher production unit only to have to replace components for lack of use. With very little planning, this unit provides plenty of water for my 72 gallon aquarium.

Hagen Fluval Nano Tank Stand in Natural Oak, 35-Inch

Hagen Fluval Nano Tank Stand in Natural Oak, 35-InchThe seller/shipper was fine, the product arrived promptly. However, the product itself is shoddy and came with considerable damage to the extremely cheap laminate. The color of the laminate was lifeless and ugly. The fish tank looked terrible on it. The whole thing was a complete waste of money. It's just another piece of junk to get rid of. I wish I had not purchased it.

this hagen fluvial nano tank stand in oak is made of particle board. I used carpenters glue to put this aquarium stand together. It is rated for the horizontal and vertical 6.6 gallon tanks only. I originally bought it for their 12 gallon tank. Which I will not buy now. There were 2 missing wooden pegs and 1 missing beige plastic screw cover. I called their help number but she said they don't have missing parts. So I went to a hardware store for them. It does look good though.

15 PC DIY Cave Kit. All Natural Stone. Aquarium Aquascape DIY Kit, Aquarium Safe, All Natural Stone

15 PC DIY Cave Kit. All Natural Stone. Aquarium Aquascape DIY Kit, Aquarium Safe, All Natural Stone, Organic Terrarium, Iwagumi Aquarium, cichlid cave, pleco cave.I feel like the description was false advertisement. When the "cave kit" arrived the pieces were so small that I couldn't make any type of cave that any fish could use.

I like the rocks, but as I was opening and unwrapping the rocks 4 of the rocks was busted up into pieces that really wasn't usable for anything and a couple was broke in half. They are very, very small rocks. I've had them for several months now and they don't do anything except collect green algae and not starting to look anything like the one in the picture, better yet they don't look anything like the ones pictured to begin with. Very midleading!! Yes, I have a pleco, clean, and test my tank on a regular basis, so I couldn't tell you why they are growing algae. That was more than $20 wasted!! Don't waste your time and money.

I purchased these rocks and was pleased to receive them early. The box they came in though was very small which concerned me a little, I opened it up and there were 4 packs of small slate rocks with one of them broken into 2 pieces and several small pieces. They do not look like the pieces in the picture, they're more square than anything and maybe 1 1/2 inches long or smaller. In the description it says size varies but damn I didn't think they were gonna be that small. Regardless I'll still use them for my tank, I'll just add more rocks that I have in my cabinet with these ones.

WOW... This pic looks way bigger than what actually showed up... I have a 55 gallon tank with a Red Devil and it took everything I had to make the cave big enough for her to fit... Definitely NOT something I would suggest for bigger fish...

Exotic Environments Sunken Treasure Chest Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Sunken Treasure Chest Aquarium Ornaments, Large, 7-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch by 7-InchI purchased this ornament (the small size) to fit in the corner of my 20 gallon tank. It is so cute and it's not all that small. it really enhances the look of my Pirate themed tank. this is very colorful and the leaves are not sharp, which was a concern of mine before ordering it. I would highly recommend this.

I used this as a center piece in a 3.5 gallon tank I have. It is beautiful and the leaves are not sharp at all. My Betta loves to swim through the chest's hole. Great buy! Fast shipping!

Power-Glo Fluorescent Bulb

Power-Glo Fluorescent Bulb, 40 Watt, 48 InchesBulbs had great prices and were packed VERY well. The description indicates T10, but the bulb is actually a T8 bulb. Allpet provided me with fantastic customer service. They called me back the same day after they physically checked the product to verify it was a T8. The type of bulb is important to know to see if its compatible with your hood. 2 of these bulbs were used in my 55g fresh water cichlid tank.

The color spectrum of this bulb is exactly what I was looking for to brighten the aquarium.

Local pet stores have limited selection of the many types of bulbs. Online I could get the exact bulb I wanted, for a delivered price below pet stores. My initial concern was possible damage of the 48" bulb, but it arrived extremely well packed. I was very happy with the transaction.

It is my opinion that this is the only bulb that gives my aquarium a pleasing natural hue, not to mention my fish seem to appreciate and thrive in its light spectrum. This item was hard to find until I came here to Amazon.com. Thank You Amazon.com for having this product available !!! I should purchase another one while they are still available.

Aussie Aquariums Wall Mounted Aquarium - Skyline Silver

Aussie Aquariums Wall Mounted Aquarium - Skyline Silverthe instruction Manuel is by far the worst installation Manuel i have ever come across in my entire life ...(they couldn't even give the buyers a video on how to mount it ).......then they want u to pay for installation.... they only have 2 "professional installation" plans..... one for another additional $200 ......and the other for an additional $300, on top of what u already spent for the tank and thats only if ur in the Southern California area......i live in n.y and every where i called they wanted double or triple the price of the tank due to it being mounted on the wall.....not to mention $200 for a 5gallon tank was already alot more expensive then it should have been ....in the long run ull look like an idiot paying close to $500 for a 5gallon tank witch comes out to $100 dollars per gallon...........i want my money back ,hope u don't get CONED out ur hard working money like i did

I LOVE MY AQUARIUM WALL FISH TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO LOVELY LOOKING ON MY WALL I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH THANKS

Coralife 05509 Mini Compact Fluorescent 50/50 Colormax Lamp, 10-Watt

Coralife 05509 Mini Compact Fluorescent 50/50 Colormax Lamp, 10-WattI use two of these bulbs in the hood of a 10 gallon freshwater tank.

Pros:

-gives off a lot of light

-makes your tank look really good, you can really see fish coloration

-uses very little electricity

-does not generate much heat

Cons:

-don't seem to last long, 3-4 months usually (I have purchased them from Amazon, and from a couple of local pet stores-they all seem to have the same lack of longevity no matter where they come from)

-you will need a dark hiding spot for anyone who doesn't

like to be in the bright light

-I have higher green algae growth, vs 'yellow' incandescent bulbs

-does not generate much heat (only bad if you do not use a heater and rely on the bulb to warm your water)

This review may only legally be shown directly on Amazon.com.

Edit 4/4/2011: Rating lowered to 2 stars. These bulbs are not as waterproof or water resistant as they should be, I went to change one of these that went out (I keep a couple of incandescent bulbs for temporary use when one of these dies) and I could smell the odor of burnt plastic coming from the tank hood. I removed the bulb and found scorch marks on the plastic base where the glass tube enters. The bulb had accumulated water inside the base (which came out black) and I'm guessing caught fire.

After multiple attempts to contact them the manufacturer will not respond to inquiries about why these bulbs do not last very long or why the one bulb was not appropriately waterproof or water resistant. I don't think I will be buying more of this bulb-unless the manufacturer decides to reply to my questions and stand behind their product, or improve it.

I have been using this bulb for about a couple weeks now and It works great! When I had my original incandescent lighting that came with the lid of my aquarium, it looked very yellow which didn't look amusing...After installing 2 of these in my 10 Gallon tank, the whole tank just lit up and I can see everything in a more natural setting. The white/blue light went perfect for my aquarium. The fishes are brighter, plants are more vibrant, and my water looks a lot clearer too! I have freshwater tropical fishes and it is just looks good! Imagine a saltwater tank underneath these lights! Although I should of gotten the 20 Watt instead of the 10 watt. Oh well, Next time...I would recommend this light, if you want a cheap up-grade, for around $8 bucks, it's well worth the look of your tank or whatever your using it for.

This bulb gives off plenty of light and almost no heat whatsoever. It does make the aquarium looks nice, but I don't like how it makes my fish look. The blueish tinge to the light makes them look sickly next to the other aquarium with a white CF. I suppose it is a personal like or dislike and really has nothing to do with the bulb because it does work as advertised.

Aqueon AQE100001848 16-Bow Front Deluxe Kit for Aquarium

Aqueon AQE100001848 16-Bow Front Deluxe Kit for AquariumI purchased this tank about a month ago and love it.The filter is a hang on back very quiet.My husband likes it says with the bow front makes it look like fish are coming right at you.It sits on my entertainment center top shelf looks really nice.I have endlers in it they seem very happy with their new home.Thinking of getting another maybe the 26 bow this time

Everything about this kit, from the heater, to the hood, to the tank and even the literature that comes with it, is top notch. One weak point, though, is the filter (which is an Aqueon Quitflow 30). My beef with the filter is that it is too susceptible to media clogging up and causing the water to bypass. For more details, see my review of the filter by itself. Also, make sure to check the tank thoroughly for scratches, especially on the front. The box that this tanks is packaged in does not protect the front glass. I'm glad I bought this kit at a local pet store, because it allowed me to exchange it for another one when I got the first one home and discovered a big scratch on the front that could not be seen until I got it home. You will also find some little silicone stringies stuck to various random parts of the glass (mostly near the sealed edges, as you might expect). These are easily removed with a razor blade widget.

Zilla 11669 Rock Den

Zilla 11547 Rock Den, SmallI bought this at a local Petco. The tag said it was good for reptiles in any environment terrestrial or aquatic.

a month ago i bought one of these yesterday while cleaning the tank i noticed that this thing was starting to disintegrate i rubbed it slightly and a cloud of dust came off. I cleaned the tank and a mound of a powdery substance was right inside the rock den.

It is probably ok as a desert rock den but as an aquatic den it's like the wicked witch of the west it disintegrates in water.

The paint is chipping off all over the place, and it killed my pleco! The pleco must have ate too much of the paint. I have owned the product for 3 months, and the paint is chipping off everywhere. For your fish's sake, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

I didn't really like the design of this of this hide. It sloped down too much in the back on the inside not giving the snake any room. It would be nice for maybe a bearded dragon if your cage is big enough to hold it.

Read Best Reviews of Zilla 11669 Rock Den Here

upset with the color doesnt look natural at all, the domfort of the den itself is so so its super heavy and has sharp parts too it, i was super hesitant placing it in the sand with my bearded since he likes to dig under things. i placed it on the absolute floor of the tank to prevent that from happening.. (squishing)

Como Black 48" Length Soft Flexible Rubber Hose Air Curtain Bubble for Aquarium

Como Black 48' Length Soft Flexible Rubber Hose Air Curtain Bubble for Aquariumbut don't use it often because I also have a smaller air stone and my fish prefer that because all the bubbles created by the bubble wand creates too much movement for them. I only use it for circulation of waste when cleaning my tank along with a vacuum. ( My way of cleaning my tank but it works for me. ) It does look nice if you have fish that like the circulation it creates. Very flexible and it sinks on its own without suction cups but I don't know if its supposed to come with an end cap but mine didn't. Luckily I had extras lying around, other than that it's a very nice product.
