Marineland NW1000 Natural Wave Pump Timer

Marineland NW1000 Natural Wave Pump TimerIt does what it is suppose to do as long as you have some powerheads that are compatible with it.

This works perfectly in my 75 gallon tank. It alternates the powerheads and simulates a moving ocean environment. This helps produce a more natural environment and keeps the detritus from settling so the filter system can pick it up.

Buy Marineland NW1000 Natural Wave Pump Timer Now

little to no instruction, difficult to mount. Its a power strip with 3 live and 3 "wave maker" type timers. If you use it with cheap powerheads I guess you will be fine. I used it with 2 maxi jets and one hydor 550. The maxi's stood up to the hard start/stop but the koralia must need a more conditioned current. I now have the hydor pump controller with 2 hydor 750's and 1 550. I only used this for a month.

This wavemaker does just as it says, switches upto 3 powerheads on/off from 20 seconds to 3 minutes. It does have a problem with hard starts, makes the powerhead rattle slightly but nothing to bad. I recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to spend a ton of money for a wavemaker.

TOM Stellar Air Pump S-30 - 30gal to 40gal tank

TOM Stellar Air Pump S-30 - 30gal to 40gal tankThis S-30 Tom Stellar Air Pump operated quite nicely, and appeared to be doing it's job rather well. However, this thing is loud! Sounds like a compressor, which of course, it is.

I went with the S-20 model, and it's like night and day in the noise department. Same build quality as the S-30 with rubber feet and all.

FYI, apparently, these are an all black model now, not like the current picture on Amazon. They have the STELLAR name vertically printed on the top of the housing in large letters.

AquaClear Impeller Assembly for Power Filter

AquaClear Impeller Assembly for 110 Power FilterThe impeller in an aquarium filter does a remarkable job of moving thousands of gallons of water each day. The fact that they can operate for several years before needing to be replaced is a testament to their overall construction.

The Aquaclear series of filters utilize a magnetic impeller assembly with the plastic fan attached to the top of the unit.

The Aquaclear 20, 30, 50 and 70 all use the same electric motor and magnetic impeller assembly, the only difference being that the fan attachment for each subsequent filter is slightly larger than its smaller sibling, thus

allowing the next size up Aquaclear to pass a greater number of gallons of water per hour.

This also gives you some flexiblity in how these filters can be used. For instance, suppose you would like to be able to increase the amount of time between filter cleanings, while maintaining the same water flow that you have with an Aquaclear 50.

You can purchase an Aquaclear 70 and swap out its impeller for the one in the Aquaclear 50. This way you have a greater filter surface area, without increasing the turbulence of your aquarium's water.

The Aquaclear filters do have an adjustable water flow, however, even at the lowest level, an Aquaclear 70 would be too powerful for say a 10 gallon aquarium.

However, with the impeller blade from an Aquaclear 30, installed in an Aquaclear 70, you get the advantage of far greater filter area than the 30, which leads to less frequent cleanings, and you won't have to worry about your fish having to fight the current of the Aquaclear 70's larger impeller fan.

Later on, should you decide to move up to a larger sized aquarium, you can then install the impeller that your Aquaclear 70 came with.

This flexiblity is just one of the advantages that four of the Aquaclear filters (20, 30, 50 & 70) offer, since they utilize the same electric motor; the only difference being the size of the plastic fans which come attached to the magnetic impellers.

There is a reason why the Aquaclear line of hob filters have lasted virtually unchanged for the past 25 years and have a very loyal customer base.

An extremely clever design with flexibility in mind.

And as a fishkeeper, you need all the flexibility you can get.

The Aquaclear's ability to swap out impeller fans, as well as to use a number of different permutations regarding filter media, makes these filters the most cleverly designed on the market.

And the fact that they are also workhorses only adds to the satisfaction of owning them, since they do an excellent job of cleaning an aquarium, even though like most aquarium filter manufacturers, their rating tends to be optimistic.

For example, if you are buying a 30 gallon tank, pass on the Aquaclear 30 and get the 50, since it will do a better job of filtering your tank especially if it's overstocked and heavily planted.

This author enthusiastically recommends the Aquaclear line of hob filters.

Bought this as a spare for my AquaClear 50. Inspecting the impeller shows no signs of damage from shipping or from the manufacturing process. When it comes time to replace my current impeller, from damage or wear, this will allow for quick replacement.

Like the original impeller, this may take a few weeks to break-in and runs smoothly.

It might fix yours. My 110 was making a lot of noise while running and eventhough this part didnt fix it, a new motor eventually did, its still a good price and good to have an extra propeller on hand.

This impeller was bought to uprate the water flow on my Fluval Edge and it didn't disappoint. It approximately doubles the amount of waterflow pushed though the filter. This is such a simple modification (swap the impeller) that it really is a cost efficient, no brainer. My Edge is a saltwater aquarium and houses quite a few corals. This modification really helps with the fitration that I need. The only problem would be that I had to purchase it from the US (couldn't find a seller in the UK) which turned out to be O.K in the end because it came well packaged and much quicker than I anticipated. All in all I'm very pleased. Thanks

API Aquarium Salt, 16-Ounce

API Aquarium Salt, 16-OunceI have very hard water in my area, so this works great to condition the water. Just make sure you don't use too much.

I have a number of five gallon freshwater tanks but of course they can use about a tablespoon of salt per tank. Have used to cure fin rot. My "technique" is to fill a five gallon jug with tap water. Add one tablespoon of the salt and whatever else I need to put in there (stress coat, algae drops, etc.) let it stand overnight at least. I siphon out a bit of water from each tank and replace with the water from the jug as needed. This eliminates problem with having the salts dissolve and from my experience is just a good practice if you are dealing with tap water.

In my case when used for fin rot I did daily water changes of about 1/3 the tank. Having it pre-mixed keeps the consistency you need for each change and that definitely helps the fish.

My beta fish had seen better days, so I did some research and bought some aquarium salt. It cleared up the fuzzy moldy looking stuff on the fish. He's as good as new!

The aquarium salt is good. I usually get the bigger one since i have a 55g tank. It works good,fish look healthy. Haven't lost a fish in months,maybe this is the reason.

Only complaint would be if you have plecos/bottom feeders make sure they dont eat this. They will die. I put the salt in my fish net and let it dissolve in the net.

Acurel LLC Extreme Activated Carbon Pellets, 100-Ounce

Acurel LLC Extreme Activated Carbon Pellets, 100-Ouncethis stuff is worthless . I tryed some in my aquarium thinking I was getting a deal , NOT ! See it just is useless . does not do what carbon should do. In fact most carbon when you rince it will make a crackling sound . This did nothing and my water turned fowl . Had to run down to the local pet store and buy more carbon . Avoid this stuff like the plage

One other note , on the label is says "made in china" cheep for a reason !

I saw this product here on Amazon and was initially skeptical on how good it would actually be, but I am happy to report that it works just as good as the name brand products in my Fluval 306. There was no excessive carbon powder, the carbon was uniform in size and absorbed water just like the expensive brands. I will definitely buy this product again!

Exotic Environments T-Rex Skull Aquarium Ornament, Large, 10-Inch by 6-Inch by 6-Inch

Exotic Environments T-Rex Skull Aquarium Ornament, Large, 10-Inch by 6-Inch by 6-InchMy Cichlids love swimming in and around this thing! Highly recommend if u like exotic aquarium pieces! You won't be disappointed!

I chose this item for my plecostomus to hide in since it keeps harassing my turtle and thought a new house would distract the monstrous fish. Unfortunately the mouth isn't wide enough to accommodate its girth so it just takes up space and looks cool. Combined with the aerator and red flourite it creates a cool look. I think I'll try the alligator skull as that looks big enough to let the fish swim through.

Want Exotic Environments T-Rex Skull Aquarium Ornament, Large, 10-Inch by 6-Inch by 6-Inch Discount?

I purchased this item for my son's snake enclosure. We had seen the same item at our local pet shop for $36.95 and I was not willing to spend that kind of money on this item. I was so happy to find this when I got home and for much less than the store. My son has a baby California King snake who needed a hide/shed helper/ climbing apparatus. As soon as I placed this into the enclosure the snake was weaving in and out of the holes, rubbing his head against the rough texture, and hiding in the base of the jaw. Within 24hrs he had successfully shed, due to the texture of the T-Rex skull (it was his first shed and they are notoriously the hardest for a snake to accomplish). The skull is large enough that the snake can still enjoy it through adulthood! I would recommend this item to anyone looking for either fish tank decor or Reptile needs.

Aside from the snake being happy my son is absolutely thrilled! He wasn't happy about having to walk away from this item in store and when he came home to find it in the snake tank he about died! He is quite the dino expert and swears that this is a super detailed replica "it even has the orbital notches and the nasal cavity!! Mom this is the coolest thing EVER!!!"

All in all everyone is happy Especially mom who was able to give the munckin what he wanted without breaking the budget!

TOM Stellar Air Pump S-20 - 20gal to 30gal tank

TOM Stellar Air Pump S-20 - 20gal to 30gal tankSo far I've been very pleased with this pump. I've had it for about a week now. After reading complaints about the Tetra Whisper pumps dieing prematurely I decided to give this one a try. Only time will tell, but the construction seems solid. And, the price at least when I bought it was very reasonable and eligible for prime shipping.

All air pumps make noise, but the volume from this seems plenty reasonable. I hid mine in a wicker basket under my tank and that seems to almost completely mask any noise. This pump did not come with any other accessories like a t fitting to split the air into multiple hoses, or a check valve to make sure water doesn't back flow into the pump. I already had these so it wasn't an issue for me.

Many people don't know but the rubber diaphragms eventually always wear out in any air pump. So, we will see how long these last, they do list the part number on the packaging for replacing them when they wear out. But, I suspect with shipping that they will cost as much as a new pump since the pump is so inexpensive and eligible for prime shipping.

My goal is to get at least a year of use out of this pump before the diaphragms need replacing. In my mind that's a reasonable amount of time for a pump in this price range. If it dies before a year is out I'll come back and update this post, if there are no updates then it means my pump lasted at least a year!

For an inexpensive air pump this one does a good job. It is fairly quiet, though I have had better. Puts out plenty of air through my 2" bubble disk.

I was looking for a replacment to my Tetra Whisper (Tetra 77851 Whisper Air Pump, 10-Gallon) reading a review that this product (TOM Stellar Air Pump S-20 20gal) is the most quiet among the many the reviewer has experienced. By far, this pump vibrated on top of my tank despite putting a damper under its feet. The sound is just too annoying. I then tried a Rena (Rena 702A Model 50 Air Pump by Mars but they're both so noisy I went back to ordering the Tetra Whisper. For the time and effort to return these 2 items, it was better for me to throw them out to garbage.

Red Sea Reef Foundation Test Kit - Calcium, Alkalinity & Magnesium

Red Sea Reef Foundation Test Kit - Calcium, Alkalinity & MagnesiumFirst off very fast shipping. This is a very good product, this kit has 3 different test with 3 different syringes. The tips of the syringes are color coded and the only mention of the different colors are on the cards when you look at the illustrations, and even then you better have good eyes to see them. And the markings on the syringes are different, so if you use the wrong one, your results will be off. Over all a nice kit, much better packaged and quality than Salifert which I use to use.

I have tried several other manufacturer's kits and I have found this one to be the easiest and best to use.

Before this I was using a Salifert Kit and was getting results that were often hard to read. If you do these tests properly and keep adding the titration drops until you get a full color change that will not change any further then you will get accurate results.

I really like the handheld titration unit which makes it much easier to accurately does single drops will mixing.

Comes with a nice hard case as well as ultra clear glass vials. I really believe it's the best kit out there for the money.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Parallel 2.5 Gallon Designer Glass Aquarium - Black

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Parallel 2.5 Gallon Designer Glass Aquarium - BlackI bought this from wal-mart cause it was cheaper and was a very cool and easy tank meaning I found both a hang on back filter and one that suctions on the glass and a heater worked great to but I do have to leave the water low cause of it open top but I like it and my betta loves all the space for breathing. Don't believe the photo Goldfish NEED at the very least a 20 gallon and must upgrade people the picture is at a photo shoot and those Goldfish where only in this tank for a few minutes.

PROS: Very Nice Look,Very Small Would Fit On A Desk, It Is Glass,Easy To Clean

CONS:It Is Kind Of Heavy But A Good Sign,I Only Saw A Red,It Had A Dent In The Metal,It Had A Small Chip In The Top Of The Glass.

Keep in mind I didn't buy the tank directly from seller or maker so anything mentioned in cons could be from poor handling on wal-marts part but I did get mine for 10 dollars less.

Cat Dancer 601 Catnip Cat Dancer Interactive Cat Toy

Cat Dancer 601 Catnip Cat Dancer Interactive Cat ToyI give it 4 stars because it's well made, has a powerful catnip aroma and i'm sure other cats would love it, because of the metal spring like wire that bounces around. But my 10 year old cat wasn't too interested by it (or the catnip), no matter how much i've tried. I think the metal wire that sometimes makes noise every time it touches a hard surface (like furniture or the hardwood floor) scares her a little bit.

Anyway, i knew it was a high chance that she might not like it, as many other commercial toys i bought for her didn't sparked her interest. Only aluminium foil balls and threads make her happy.

ps: if i would be the manufacturer, i would replace the plastic green mouse with something made from leather or something similar that the cat can grab with its claws.

Our multi cat household is our biggest critic and they say, "Bring it on!" They love the Cat Dancer. We have several going at once for them and they love to leap up to try to catch it. Who would think that such a simple toy would bring so much excitement!

I did buy the Cat Dancer with the plastic cat nipped mouse on one end, and the cats paid no attention to it. Also, it was heavy and threw the whole toy off balance. A cloth mouse would have been a better choice. Great service.

The green plastic mouse make it too clumpy for the cats to play with. But it makes a good handle for you to hold on to as they play with the paper end.

My cat goes crazy for the cardboard end to the point that he seems unable to control himself when playing with it. He was actually so wrapped up in his play that he bit my finger hard when I tried to get it away from him to keep the play active obviously my fault, but he isn't like that with any other toys (even the much-loved Da Bird). He isn't really interested in the catnip cat, although sometimes when I keep the cardboard end hidden he'll bat at it or kick it. As far as I'm concerned, it's a glorified handle that makes my hands smell slightly like catnip.

I'm giving this 4 stars the price is higher because of the catnip mouse, which is the least desirable feature (at least for my cat). Get a cat dancer for your cat, but be careful if your cat seems totally crazed by it. On the plus side, it seems fairly durable and is cheaper than many less exciting cat toys.

Lee's 2-Inch Wooden Air Diffuser, 2-Pack

Lee's 2-Inch Wooden Air Diffuser, 2-PackThis shipper (accidentally?) included a cheap plastic bag that the chinese manufacturer must have originally put these in. It is all Chinese except for saying "AquaValue" at the top and there is a diagram of how to use these in an aquarium that is labelled in chinese. The diffuers are now sealed in a nice blister pack in all-english. Why they included the weird all-chinese bag with this is beyond me.

Anyway, they work wonderfully. I'm using them to create small bubbles to diffuse CO2 in a planted tank. They make much finer bubbles than my air stones that I was using previously and my CO2 concentration has improved. I can't comment on how well these would work in a protein skimmer. I always used an injection-powered Aqua-C skimmer so I wouldn't have to mess with replacement parts like this all the time. The main downside to these is that wood floats duh. I hadn't really considered this and these don't come with any suction cups to hold them down, so unless you have suction cups for your air hoses already, you're going to have to buy them or hook the hose under an ornament or rock. I realize that this is the case with all bubblers since they're filled with air, but these are REALLY buoyant.

Theses air diffusers supply abundant micro air bubbles that create the foam inside my protein skimmer. Long lasting, however they need to be kept on continuously, if shut off for awhile then the bubbles will be large but will become micro again after running enough hours.

CL26BK: Finnex Aquarium Nano Refugium Cliplight including 3U Blue White Bulb & Moonlight LED - REAL

CL26BK: Finnex Aquarium Nano Refugium Cliplight including 3U Blue White Bulb & Moonlight LED - REAL BLACKOccasionally you find a bargain. This is one if you are looking for a light for your salt water refugium with the color spectrum and power to maintain a healthy mat of de-nitrating macroalgae. It's a power compact fluorescence lamp with a 26 Watt combined 10,000K + actinic bulb with a mount that should clamp to the side wall of the majority of refugiums. The lamp rotates on the supplied mount so that you can swing it out of the way to harvest algae as needed. Replacement bulbs are available through Amazon and likely others. It's the perfect size for an Aqueon model 3 sump.

This is a top of the heap light. Price alone makes it nice but the light is great for a Nano tank.The construction is Well put together,you wouldn't want to drop it on the concrete but. It comes with a well made Bracket for direct mount on my tank. I did reverse the bracket to make it sit over my tank and not hang over,it adjust but not enough for my 1.5g .The bulb is very nice white and Purple spectrums And is a regular screw in socket. The blue leds might not be enough for much of a larger tank but that is the only flaw I see.

This lamp seems to be designed reasonably well for use with a refugium as I'm using it. The strong point and the weak are the same thing; its the bulb. The bulb has one of the best light output ranges on the market that I could find for my saltwater refugium. It's a little weak in intensity for me so I'm using two lamps. The bad part is that these bulbs have a questionable life span. I've replace two of these bulbs so far, one lasted about a week and the other burnt-out as soon as I turned it on the first time. I'm still running these lights in my system and the replacement bulbs have been working for about two months so far. I'm hoping I just had a bit of bad luck with the first two bulbs.

I should note that when the bulb burnt-out, I made a claim for a damaged item and the seller gave me no problem with a replacement.

I bought this to replace the small plastic Lixit bird bottles I had previously bought, which had fit on my lovebirds cage but not so much my conure's. It was just sorta, hanging on there, so I decided to go with this one because it looked sturdier. I was so wrong. The thing is real pretty, it has little floral engravings on it and it's a very pretty color... I give it that, but that's about all I can give it.

There were, first of all, no directions included. It says sorta vaguely, on the little piece of cardboard the bottle is attached to, that you can use EITHER the wire or the spring mechanism to hold it on to the cage. It doesn't really say how this is done or anything, and it doesn't include any sort of useful image either. I tried using both latches separately but the bottle just seemed to be hanging precariously on the cage and was generally just really unstable. I ended up using the spring to hold the bottle from underneath and the wire to hold it to the cage. It worked for about two days before my >1lb conure unlatched it and it fell to the ground and the bottle shattered. I mean, that was sort of the point of my buying a plastic bottle, so I wouldn't have to worry about it shattering if it did fall. Waste of money. Also, the thing leaks, a lot. Even the tiny cheapo plastic Lixit bottles were better than this thing.

I ended up buying the nicer glass Lixit bottle that have much more stable latching mechanisms that my little guy couldn't hope to undo in his wildest parrot dreams. Sigh, but it was so pretty...
