Ecological Labs AEL20120 Microbe Lift Barley Straw Extract Pond Conditioners for Aquarium, 1-Gallon
Works quickly to eliminate problems with String Algae.Maybe it is the 18,000 gallon pond, but I put plenty of this stuff into the pond over several weeks and I was plenty much pouring money down the drain there was zero change in the algae.We use it for our River Otter exhibit to keep things under control and safe for animals. Used it for many years just do make sure you add it consistently. As many people are aware and others not so sure, it does not KILL the algae, it just makes the water not desirable for algae, so add it on a consistent basis, if you wait for alge to take over it is already too late. So keep things in check by always adding the correct dosage on time to keep algae almost non existantThis works so well in my pond. I have to use a lot over the course of the summer, and this is by far the best value out there.

Nutrafin Master Test Kit, Contains 10 Test Parameters
The case makes it nice and easy to test. You can use the case as a test tube holder while you add drops if you need an extra hand. The pipettes make it easy to get and add water to the test tubes. It's easy to read the results of the tests except for the pH. I did get frustrated with the pH test because some of the colors are so close it makes it harder to get an exact reading. But you can get it with practice. However, I have been having problems with my pH and was testing so much I just bought a HM Digital PH-200 Waterproof pH and Temperature Meter. So I use the kit for everything else besides the pH and will occasionally compare the kit pH to the meter.
The color charts for the tests are on the back cover of each individual test booklet. Each test comes with its own little test booklet that tells you how to do the test in multiple languages.
So if you have a planted tank or saltwater tank or just want to have all the tests this is a nice test kit. But if you just want a test kit for all the needed parameters for freshwater then all you really need is the API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT
One thing that is annoying is the caps for the test tubes are loose and as long as you hold it by the top and the bottom of the tube it is sealed just fine for shaking the chemicals to mix them. But when you pull the top off it is very likely that you will get some of the contents of the tube on your fingers. The test tube caps could be designed a whole lot better.This kit has everthing you need and then some, for aquatic plant care! Great price as each of these kits in the store will run you twenty dollars and up times ten. . . . you do the math!

This is my second one.... cheaper than trying to replace the tubes and reagents. It's the most complete kit I could find and reasonably priced.Read Best Reviews of Nutrafin Master Test Kit, Contains 10 Test Parameters Here
If you are serious about your livestock and reef-keeping, this test kit is not good. It has a nice plastic case, and all looked great when I opened it up. I was excited to use it but colors are WAY off and near impossible to read for anything over 0ppm of the color chart comparisons on several of the tests (including NH3 & NO3). NH3 is almost worthless even for 0ppm. NO3 will help you know you have 0 or slightly more, but anything over that good luck in determining what your value actually is. Phosphates color chart is okay, but is low resolution (lowest comparison above 0ppm is .225 which is already in your danger zone). Some of the test results are not consistent (like CA I can test and get 500, turn around and a second test will give me 580. An old API I have more consistently will read like 480). I do not advise hagen kits to anyone and will not ever waste my money on them again. I may keep the case to store future kits from different makers though... but this was basically a $50 cheap plastic case.Want Nutrafin Master Test Kit, Contains 10 Test Parameters Discount?
This Kit is ideal for any Aquarium lover, especially Salt Water enthusiast. It has all the basic test Kits you will need to water analysis. If you priced out buying each test from one of the other manufacturers you would spend easily $170 or more. Then you would not have a neat place to keep them all. Though the quantities of each test is probably less than what you would get from others. The only other test I had to buy for my Reef Aquarium is Iodide, Magnesium, Copper. I don't think there is anything else I need that this kit doesn't have. The Price is just Great at $81. Hope you find this helpful. Good luck with your aquarium!Saturday, July 12, 2014

Don't overuse it.I caught myself overusing it when I bought the large bottle with the pump and after about 2 weeks I noticed it was half way gone and I lost a couple of my saltwater fish not cheap ones either but just read the label and you will be fine and the product works great unless you are the type of person who has a hard time taking time to read directions,Thank you great product.Read Best Reviews of Nutrafin Aqua Plus Water Conditioner Here
I've used this product in my aquarium for years, and all I can say is buy it in bulk and get it online, because you're going to need a steady supply of it for as long as you have fish. This is the best water conditioner on the market for my money.I use this in every water change and evap fill. This is awesome at detoxing the metals from water and softening it as well so hard tap is even safe in salt water tanks.Thursday, April 10, 2014

Underwater Galleries AUG5602 Sea Cave, Large
When I first put them in they released a ton of very small bubbles for several minutes which made me freak out a little bit.
The fish love them and spend time going in and out. I even put some live plants in a few of the holes and they look great! Very happy with these caves and will probably get more in the future.I really like how this cave has three holes in it, it's fun to watch the fish swim in one and out another. It looks very realistic and is a quality made product. It is quite large I have it in a 10 gallon and it takes up almost half the tank. I put a picture in customer pictures.

This is so low to the bottom of the tank the only way a fish could get in it would be it more rocks were used to raise it up.Read Best Reviews of Underwater Galleries AUG5602 Sea Cave, Large Here

Aqua Tank Betta - Penn plax beta bow front cubed tank
The cube is a really nice size and your betta will have room to swim. They are compact but are big enough for your betta to be comfortable. The cube comes with a plant and gravel. I didn't like the plant but the gravel is coordinated with the color of the cube.
The lid is a great feature of this product. The shape is nice because you have plenty of viewing room.
If you buy this product make sure you have some silicone aquarium sealer .........more than likely you will need it. Very poorly manufactured.This product is far too small for a living animal. Bettas are kept in small containers in pet stores because they cannot be kept with other bettas-that does not mean that's how they are meant to be kept as pets. Please research proper living conditions before purchasing something like this. If you want to see how bettas act in properly-sized tanks (HEATED tanks-they're tropical fish!), check YouTube. You might be surprised.

10 Opae Ula Shrimp, Hawaii Volcano Ecosphere Shrimp
Now that I have that outta the way...
These pets are amazing and super active. They don't need a whole lot of food or maintenance (only minimal)
They were clear upon arrival and within a few hours turned pink and red which was cool. My 2 1/2 year old son is mesmerized by their size, color and movement. I'm so happy! Adorable little shrimpy-poos! YAY!!

I bought this pump to replace the one in my office fountain which died after about 8 years.It doesn't look quite like the picture but that doesn't matter. It fit into the required space and connected to the existing tubing. There were several other connective options in the package which I didn't need.
On the lowest setting it moves the water up approx 2 1/2 feet and spills it over the top. MOST IMPORTANTLY, it does so silently!

This little pump is SUPER quiet, didn't make a sound when I tried it out. I am using it to transfer aging water from a sterilite container to my aquarium. It did make it up the 4 feet as stated but its a little slower than I like so I have ordered the next one up and will return this one. It doesn't look like the photo which is a bit frustrating and it doesn't have adapters that you can screw a hose to. It did come with 3 adapters and one of them is the same size as my aquaeon water changer tubing so if I was to keep it I could just order some extra hose like that. In the meantime I used a 1/2" hose cut off and it was a little loose so I had to duct tape it. The larger model appears to have some threaded adapters I am hoping to just attach with a garden hose, either 1/2" or 3/4".Want EcoPlus Submersible Pump - 132 gph - 4.3 ft. max - 9W - 3/8 in.

Sunken Gardens Shipwreck Bow / Lge.
The piece certainly evokes the bottom-of-the-sea atmosphere I'd hoped to create. It's even a little eerie in its stark silence, with jagged holes in the hull hinting at some terrible ocean tragedy long ago. Of course, the holes also provide ample room for fish to swim, and the hollow interior is a great place for them to hide.
Decorating an aquarium is mostly about individual taste, so this won't mean much to people who're going with another theme. Still, shipwreck buffs will find this a good piece to bring home to your favorite piscine environment.

Great lighting ! Durable and good level of light. Using it in a grow tent takes some rearranging and planning. It does work with the timer just fine.Read Best Reviews of Zoo Med Coral Flora Sun Plant Growth Bulb T8 32 Watts, 48-Inch Here
This bulb has that purplish-pink glow; like the ones you see above the fish tanks in your local pet store. Its red and blue phosphors and 5000*k color temperature rating really enhance the colors of freshwater tropical fish and live aquatic plants.But it's relatively expensive compared to other 48" t-8 fluorescent bulbs. (You can buy a package of two GE's or Philips t-8's at one of the 'big box' home improvement stores for around eight bucks.) The GE's look off-white in comparison to the Flora Sun (even though they're both rated 5000* Kelvin), but the combined effect of using one of each bulb is like looking at high noon on a warm sunny day in my fish tank.
My live plants have begun to put on much new growth since I upped the amount of light in the tank.
