Marina 15 Watt Clear Showcase Bulb, 2-Pack

These lights work well and are just bright enough for my small 12 gallon aquarium. They put off a little heat, but it is the perfect amount for my fish.

Its hard to find these in a two pack. They are much cheaper this way. Most aquariums have two bulb sockets, so they should all be sold in two packs.

These 2 light bulbs only lasted 5 to 6 weeks in our aquarium.

The vibration during shipping may have shortened the anticipated life of them.

I recently noticed that my local pet store had these bulbs for $2 ea sold individually which is +/40% less than I paid here.

Petco White Aquarium Sand, 20 lbs.

So this sand is great! So I couldn't wait to get this in my tank. I rinsed it until the water ran clear, and put it into my tank. A word of advice, after putting into your tank and filling with water, I would do a 50% water change, b careful though you don't want tis to jam or ruin your filter, mine being a bio wheel, it could ruin the propeller. Turn of your filter until all the sand settles. In my case I had a second internal filter that I used. Anyhoo my tank looks great and I will update after a month or so and some cleaning to let you know how well that goes. Till then. Thanks

almost didnt order because there are no reviews or anything about this sand, but glad that i did. Its nice and white like beach sand but the sand itself is a little larger in size. still looks good, this bag almost filled the bottom of my 55 gal aquarium. freshwater or salt

Kent Marine 00896 ZooMax, 1-Ounce Bottle

This food solution is awesome. Animals in my tank are thriving... feather dusters always come out as soon as a few drops hit the water. Very concentrated and eye dropper makes feeding very easy. Love that it comes with a plastic container to but the bottle in.... keeps the smell locked inside. The 1-ounce bottle does last for a while.

So do the fish as they try eating the larger pieces! The starfish come out too so it does seem to be well liked by my tank buddies! 4stars is only cuz it's kind of expensive for a small bottle but does last a bit as u only use drops at a time! I have LOTS of coral so I use it EO day or every if the corals have their tentacles out!

Marina Sunken Galleon Ornament

The ship is much smaller than i expcected. The picture mislead me to believe that my fish could travel through the window and perhaps explore the tiny vessel. Other than that, its a very cute and detail piece of merchandise.

The marina sunken galleon ornament fits my take perfect, I have a marineland eclipse 12 gallon aquarium. It is small so it doesn't take up to much space, It looks like a real sunken ship. The color looks like it has been in the water for years, My little neon tetra fish love hiding in it. 5 star for a great looking ornament, great fit for a small tank.

Finnex 500-Watt Hang-On Electronic Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 100 to 120-Gallon

I had this heater for almost a year. It worked fine until it stopped. I've owned a lot of aquarium heaters over the years and I don't expect them to last forever but this one functioned for a shorter time than any of the others.

I'm not sure about the Heater. It failed in 4 months. But it was under warranty and I returned it and got a new one back in about a week.

We'll see how long the new one lasts.

The description is a bit misleading because it sounds like you can set a temperature of 80F, and this unit will keep your tank in the 78-82 range. But this is just a heater with a rheostat, so it only pushes out heat, and does not measure the environment it is in. So if if the heat goes out in your house, the tank temperature will go down in tandem with the environmental temperature this unit will not crank up to compensate. I do not think it is a deficiency, since that's what you'd expect in this price range, but it can be misleading to someone putting together their first tank.

That minor complaint aside, the unit has been performing admirably. My previous heater was a 300W, this allows much faster correction of my 120G tank and 30G sump. Note that it comes with suction cups to hold onto the side of the tank, and those NEVER hold indefinitely. I would recommend building your own hanger system.

Bottom line this is a good general choice.

Is a powerful heater, but like others have said, have to have mine set all the way up. Have it on a saltwater controller, and it still shuts down before keeping the water at 79 plus degrees. Not dependable, especially if you intend to use it on it's own. I'm going to remove/by-pass the thermostat and just let my Apex controller run it.

Mag Float 360A Magnetic Cleaner for Acrylic - Large - up to 350 Gallon

I gave this as a Christmas present and it was the best present. I got it two days before I was expecting it. It says on the package that it is for acrylic but it is used on a glass tank.

Regardless of what the manufacturer says, this will scratch your acrylic aquarium. I followed the directions and fortunately started near the back of my display tank. The scratches were immediate and ugly!

I deeply regret not having heeded the advice of others.

TOM Aquarium Surface Skimmer-canister and power filters

This skimmer is on my 90 gallon HEAVILY planted aquarium; and I bought it to get rid of the film on top of the water. The skimmer comes with almost no directions; you just have to figure it out which isn't too hard.

By design, the clear piece with the inverted castle top floats, and by design (and depending on your filter flow rate) it shouldn't require much tweaking. I do not believe the device was intended for the size of filter I'm running so the concept of "float balance" as designed doesn't exactly work flawlessly for me. However, I'm using it far beyond it's intended capability bracket and therefore it does require a bit of tweaking and daily attention due to my high light an evaporation rate but I've negated that by using a rubber band to somewhat restrict the floating upper part of the device which has worked well.

BUT Overall this product is good. Could be better with simple engineering changes but whatever.... If you're semi-intelligent, have less than a 100 gallon aquarium and run less than 200 watts of compact fluorescent light you should be pleased. I gave it 5 stars because; although not perfect, it functions extremely well for the price.

I do not have any film on the top of the water any more!

I have this TOM skimmer hooked up to a Rena XP4 running full blast; and it isn't a straight connection with the parts from the box. You must take a piece of your Rena filter tubing and use it to connect the "bendy" part of the TOM skimmer to connect it to the Rena intake. I used a 1 inch piece, no big deal but I was curious when I bought mine so I thought you should know....

This surface skimmer takes some fiddling to get working properly.

In short, this will replace your filters normal intake tube, so right there is where most of your (potential) issues will come into play. For me the tube on this was the exact same size as the intake of my canister filter, which means I couldn't hook it up. I ended up taking the tube into a nearby Lowe's and searching for plastic (not metal) fittings that would work with it to get it hooked up.

The clear plastic part you can see in the photos is the float, after installing you'll need to lift that part out of the water so that the underside has air in it. You then gently lower it onto the water and the trapped air will make it float. The piece of plastic that sticks up the center is how you adjust how much suction there is, twist it until the float is skimming the water, but not strong enough to pull it completely under.

This will create noise, but with some tweaking you can minimize it.

I had never heard of the brand "TOM" before, but based on the pictures this one is exactly the same as the one offered by Hagen.

Caution: I maintain fully planted tanks, which includes floating plants. Unfortunately, floating plants will very easily clog this up. I somewhat expected that, but thought I'd try it anyways. I may keep trying at a later time with a very minimal amount of surface skimming to see if there can be a balance.

I too was having problems with the nasty film on top of my water. I have 2 eheims, 2217 and 2228. I hooked this up to my 2228 intake. Eheim offers a surface extractor for $40. The TOM was only around $11 so I thought I'd try it first. It is awesome. Just as advertised. The flex hose is removable and the little L fitting can be slid on in place of the flex hose. I hooked directly up to my U tube intake. I did this by removing the strainer on the end of the U tube and cut a little piece of eheim tubing (about 2", but it may vary for you) in order to fit the skimmer to the U tube. Great product. My surface is now crystal clear. As soon as I hooked it up, you could see the film being sucked right in. It's hard to tell, but the clear plastic strainer on the TOM moves freely and separate from the black portion. It floats on the surface. Twisting the black stick that goes down through the center of the strainer moves a stopper at the bottom and it's used to regulate the flow entering either the bottom of the device (as a regular intake would work) or the top of the device (clear strainer at the top). There is a fine balance and takes a little time to get the flow right, but not too bad. Very happy with purchase.

Little to no directions on how to actually use this. It appears this same exact item is made for other companies under different names. I found a PDF 'manual' by searching for 'Hagen surface skimmer PDF'. A big part of the correct functionality of this device that I could not figure out was, a pocket of air must remain under the top portion for it to correctly float. It's a little tricky to get setup but once done, makes sense and is easily adjustable. The only time I really have to adjust it is when I feed the fish. I dial it all the way up so it's not surface skimming and is only pulling from the bottom. I then feed the fish and dial it back down so its clearing the crud off the top.

I'm using this surface skimmer attached to an Aquaclear 10 HOB filter to remove surface scum in my marine tank. (I don't run a protein skimmer.) I had to cut the elbow adapter to make it fit into the Aquaclear intake but that was a 2 minute job. It takes a bit of fiddling to adjust it so the water flows in without making a lot of gurgling noise but once adjusted it works pretty good. The teeth are small so your fish and inverts don't get sucked in the filter.

Cons: Sometimes the floating arm will sink below the water's surface when large snails climb up on it. My snails enjoy the gunk that accumulates in the intake. The elbow adapter and flex hose didn't fit my filter, I had to cut to fit. Easy enough but it would have been better if there were some other adapter options.

Gave it 4 stars because it does take some work to figure out how to adjust the inner screw so the intake floats. Instructions are pretty much garbage. It definitely gets the scum off the top of the water. I wrote this review as I'm purchasing two more for my other tanks.

Fish Canister External 3 Stage Filter Pump for Aquarium Pond Pump Fish Tank New

So I read the reviews for this item, and thats the only reason I trusted this purchase because for the price of this filter and it stating how much GPH it can produce? It seemed too good to be true.

But when I received the item, the first thing I noticed is that the media baskets were a lot larger than I thought they were going to be, and all the parts were there. The only thing I had a problem with about the item was that the intake and out take plastic pieces were a green color, which really stood out against the black background of my tank so i painted them black before putting them in lol. This isn't something to take a star off for, just a personal preference. But just to note for the maker if you're reading this, maybe making the parts black would be a better neutral color vs. a green one, just for feedback.

Anyway, you cant go wrong with this purchase if you're looking for a good, cheap cost, working canister filter! You won't regret it. Mine's been up and running for almost a month now, no problems.

good filter but the shut off valve started leaking in 4 months and i called best choice products and they don't sell the valve by itself so i'm stuck with a filter i can't use

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Whitestone Background

Very easy to set up, just make sure you either know something about mounting and/or toggle bolts, or can get some help. Also, don't get any fish that are REALLY shy or HIDE, because there are crevasses that they can and/or will get caught in! I tried to put a small newt in mine, and I haven't seen him since!!

First, I would like to say that if you are considering buying this product, you should read this. I was very mislead by the youtube videos, and all the product reviews on this product. I have had this product for over 6 months. Let me explain to you, my story.

1. Purchased Product, Received Product fairly quick. Missing Mint Cloth, Screws & Hardware, also the entire lightning balast system /including bulb.

No problem? Just exchange it right? Wrong. 2nd Product Received with the same accessories missing plus a plastic part on the aquiarum cover/lid was broke off. And instead of the aquarium saying Aquavista (under where the frame goes, it said "china" embedded in the plastic.)

Hmm.. I think to myself.. This can't happen a third time can it? Why, Yes it can! It came from china. Same missing accessories: Screws & Hardware, cloth, lightning ballast system + bulb. Wow, Right off the bat someone would rate this a 1 star.. Not me, I'm willing to give it a shot!

I call Amazon, they told me to contact Aquavista. Aquavista Customer Service Support was very nice, they sent me Lightning Ballast + bulb that i had to install / + free filters.

After setting up this aquarium, i had bought my own pebbles / Rocks. ( this will become a nightmare as small rocks will fall in the filteration area and become stuck). I followed the manual, waited to put fish in tank.

I have had a horrible time with this tank, I have to clean this tank at least once every week otherwise the tank becomes filthy and fish start dying. I have had horrible, horrible experiences with this tank. Here's one to mention. One morning, GloTetra Disappeared. Hmm.. Where he go? Called aquavista. They told me to check behind the aquarium background. (was really fun trying to take this off after setting aquarium up.) Long story short, in the bottom right side of tank, theres a small hole (between black filter cover and background in corner of tank) where little fishies can get through. SO, Mr. Fish was stuck behind the tank. Long story short, becasue i had to bend background alittle to get fish on other side, small rocks fell between the plastic and background to where the picture would not fit the way it should. Had to take the entire tank apart, fake aquarium plants, small ship, fish, rocks.. everything. This was truely a nightmare. This didn't happen once, but three times. Once with a albino frog (didn't have to take the tank apart because he was easier to get) and also a neon tetra who is decaying in the bottom of the tank under the black filter. Oh yes, this causes disease and all fish will die, Except my Pleco + Frog. I have bought a water testing kit before all of this happened, and the ammoneia levels were extremely high. (50-100% water changes + cleaning of all objects/rocks) per week. To top things off? If you accidently overfill the aquarium with water (there is a meter) water will drip on your floor. But one time dripped on the right side instead of the left side. This caused the LCD touchpad + Screen to short out. Aquavista customer server was extremely nice, and sent me another one for me to replace. I paid $ 140 160 for this product and felt that I extremely over paid for cheap china plastic and poor quality. Poor Filtration in a 5.5 Gal = Death to all fish (cept pleco+frog or other high immune system species)

I would not have gotten this product if I would have known all of this could happen. It's truely a beautiful tank when it is lit up and turned on. Then the beautiful moment is ruined by fish who sink to the bottom of your tank lifeless and dead. Go to your local pet store to buy an aquarium worth spending this much money on.

Aquarium Fish Tank 4" Diameter Hot Pink Soft Silicone Coral Ornament

We bought at least a dozen of these over a few months time. We have a 55 gallon cichlid tank that we wanted a reef theme for. At first these were a great addition however they degraded so quickly. Once they get a little algae on them they will stain and god help you if you try to scrub them off. After two months in the tank they began to have a weird chemical smell, began to fade, and got sticky. This happened with all of them. They are great if you don't mind replacing them on a regular basis. If you want to keep them in the tank long term....keep looking....these won't last.

This looked cute in my daughter's tank for 3-4 weeks, after that it got this weird scaling that just wouldn't wash off.

Mini Bow Desktop Aquarium Kit - 1 Gallon

This tank seems like a good, quality starting tank. Setup was easy and it came with everything I needed for my betta fish including water conditioner and food. Unfortunately my fish seemed to think that death was preferable to confinement. When I put first placed him in the the tank he seemed much more lively and active, but soon after I noticed that he seemed to be hiding underneath the filter. Thinking that perhaps the current was too strong, I turned it off while I thought of a way to dampen the current. But when I woke up the next morning to check on him I found that he had wedged himself into the small niche that is formed by the indent in the corner of the filter and died. Disappointing to say the least.

I'm giving the product 3 stars, because no one else has mentioned any sort of similar issue so perhaps my fish was just the William Wallace of its kind, but the indent in the filter seems unnecessary and most sources that I've read seem to think that you don't even really need a filter for betta tanks with less than 5 gallons. Couple that with a fish who prefers tight spaces and it seems like more trouble than it saves.

I'm going to get a second fish and update this review depending on how things go.

Just got this tank. Seems to be well built and is good for a betta, but not much else. My only complaint is the light bulb gets pretty hot and seems to deform the hood a bit. Not sure if this is going to cause any future problems.

It is an ideal tank size for a betta. The filter works just fine and not too strong for the betta. I like the two convenient open holes for easy feeding. The light seems to generate too much heat if it is turned on for a long period of time which can cause the top cover melting out. I put in about an inch of gravel at the bottom. The water looks so clean after a week later. I can now do the 50 percent water change on the weekly basic. The betta seems to be happy with it.

I like this tank so much I will soon get another!

For a few years I've enjoyed having a Betta in a globe fish bowl on my desk at work. Last November my little scaly friend passed away so I went looking for a new desk companion. Well there were TWO beautiful fish and I just couldn't decide, so I just bought both! (I'm going somewhere with this, I promise) I decided to keep one fish at home and the other at work but I obviously was going to need a new bowl as Bettas are not all that good together. Well I found the Aqueon Mini Bow here on Amazon and despite mixed reviews I thought I'd give it a try. And I'm glad I did. This tank is fantastic. It's INCREDIBLY quiet. So quiet that you have to check to see if it's turned on. Silent is the word.

Ok, so the reason I gave you back story on owning two bettas is this: My standard globe bowl at work I've cleaned 3 times in four months. My Mini Bow? None, Zero, Nata. AND it's still on it's first filter! This tank has a VERY simple filter style, it just sucks up water and lets it flow over the top of the filter before gently flowing back into the tank. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done VERY well. I think another thing that helps this tank stay clean and clear is my snail. He's very active, but he obviously doesn't clean the water, just the surfaces. So grab a snail when you pick up your betta as well.

There are two things that many of the negative reviewers have said about this tank that I've got solutions for.

Reviewer complaint one: Too strong of a current for the fish.

Solution: Fill your tank up with the correct amount of water. The tank has a specific recommended water line and when your water is at the correct level, the drop from the filter is almost none. Yes, there is a little current, but not enough that it looks like the fish is always having to fight it.

Reviewer complaint two: The hood gets too hot and starts to deform.

Solution: I didn't notice any SIGNIFICANT heat on mine when used for reasonable time periods (a couple hours at a time). But just in case other reviewer were right, I devised a wonderful double-benefit solution. A custom Heat Shield! (See my photo in the customer photos section) It's made of aluminum foil and electrical tape and takes maybe five minutes to construct/install. Just remove the screws from the clear plastic, then cut a piece of aluminum foil to size and secure it to the contours of the plastic with some electrical tape. Now the the top of my hood doesn't get warm even after being on for a few hours plus being that betta are tropical fish they prefer warmer water, so the heat shield also helps direct the heat into the water!

Pros:

Fairly Inexpensive

Inexpensive Filters

Long lasting Filters

VERY Quiet

Lit Hood

Feeding hole

Clean

Cons:

Two separate cords (one for filter, one for light)

UPDATE (4/11/12)

So I did in fact buy a second tank and oddly it did at first seem as though the current was a bit much for the fish with this tank. But there are a few possible reasons why this is the case. It MAY be possible that some tanks have a more powerful suction/filtration system, but I kinda doubt it. So here is what I think is going on. First, with the first tank I purchased, before I even turned it on I had a tall plant RIGHT in front of where the water spills over the top of the filter. I think this breaks up the current quite a bit. Second, the fish from my first tank has much larger fins. Third, the first tanks filter has been in use for a while and is probably dirty enough to slow down the water flow a little bit. Fourth, the fish in the new tank had been a lazy SOB for like 8 months. I think he may have been over feed while I was on vacation and may have developed a swim bladder issue. So he floated at the top fairly frequently. So take him from a no water-movement bowl to a tank with some flow and it is gonna look like he's being thrashed around. Fifth, the fish simply hasn't had time to adapt. After a week or so in the tank with the pump on he found a bunch of places that he likes to chill out it, with seemingly no current issues. BUT that doesn't mean I didn't feel the need to ease him into this tank transition by turning off the filter for periods of time.

So these are my suggestions for those with current concerns.

1. Get a tall plant and place it on the opposite side of the tank as the filter. Also put some little plants on the bottom. This gives your little fish plenty of places to relax.

2. Add an inline switch (kinda like a lamp toggle switch on a cord) Here's one from amazon:

Leviton 5410 Appliance Switch, Feed-Through Switch Rocker, Single Pole, Single Throw, 3A-125V AC, Brown This will make it easier to switch the filter on and off.

3. Give it time! If you just bought your fish or have had him in a bowl for a while he has been lazy for a long time. He just needs time to adjust.

All in all, my fish seems a LOT more happy in this tank. He used to float around the top so much that I though he was dead plenty of times. Now he swims around and plays and I bet he's very excited for his tank to ALWAYS be clean.

Marina Aquarius Thermometer, 72-86 Degrees Fahrenheit

I got this thermometer for my first 10 gallon tropical aquarium. It works fine for seeing if the temp is in the proper range (74-82) but is not good if you want a precise reading. One square represents about 3 degrees and there are usually 3 squares lit up (the middle one being the brightest).

Even after several hours, this thermometer remains black (see my customer image). The tank's heater is set for 82°F for my betta and I wanted to make sure the heater was accurate. I like the small design, but this thermometer is useless.
