API Melafix Antibacterial Fish Remedy
As soon as I saw the damage, I checked water conditions immediately and all was well no ammonia, pH normal, etc., etc. Rather than take a chance, I thought it best to treat for fin rot as that area just seemed like a strange place for a bite or nip. I decided to try Melafix first before anything more drastic. The instructions said treat for 7 days then do a 25% water change. The guys get a regular partial weekly water change anyway, so I did a partial water change, treated for 7 days and did another partial water change right on schedule.
The instructions say to repeat treatment if necessary; however, I decided to not re-treat as the damage seemed to be getting much better. Today is day 9 with no additional treatment and my sweet little fishie looks great! Not quite 100% but real close I'd say right around 98% cured. If I didn't know the damage was there, I couldn't tell the difference. Since I knew about it, obviously I was aware of what to look for, but right now he looks very, very good.
Since the only change made was the addition of the Melafix, I'd have to say that solved the problem.

I was skeptical when I bought this product and Pimafix when we noticed that our Glofish and Black Moors were sick. (They were that way when we bought them) It quickly helped regrow the fins that fin rot had taken from the Black Moors. We used it in conjunction with Pimafix and it worked great. It was also a great help when we accidently put a Puffer Fish in the tank with them. The Puffer tries to eat the Black Moors and tore up the fins and left gashes in one of them. After removing the Puffer Fish and rehoming him, we started treatment of Melafix and Pimafix. The tails and fins on our fish quickly started growing back and now we have two happy Black Moors swimming around in our tank. This is a great product that treats open red sores, fin and tail rot, eye cloud, pop eye, body slime and mouth fungus, and open body wounds. Myself and my fish highly recommend this product.Read Best Reviews of API Melafix Antibacterial Fish Remedy Here
Melafix and Pimafix are two of the flagship products by fish care giant API(aquarium Pharmaceuticals Inc) A homeopathic anti-bacterial treatment that works wonders in fresh, brackish and salt water aquariums. Unlike medications which are in essence chemicals Melafix uses a soluble extract called "Melaleuca"Melaleuca is derived from Tea trees and is extraordinarily effective in treating and curing a multitude of problems including:
* Frayed Fins
* Fin and Tail Rot
* Cloudy Eye
* Pop Eye
* Body Fungus
* Slime Coat Deterioration
The typical treatment for any of the above is a daily dose of 5 ml per 10 gallons of water for seven days. Usually you'll see significant improvement within 48 hours it's that fast and that effective.Melafix can also be used when quarantining new fish and adding post quarantine fish into your community tanks.It's important to remember to remove activated charcoal during treatment.
Melafix can foam slightly but will never cloud your water or change your parameters.It's a safe, gentle highly effective product that I've depended on for decades. After 40 years of keeping fish Melafix is one of those products I highly recommend to anyone, novice to expert.This is something that all fish owners need to keep on hand. I had a goldfish that got really BAD fin rot, another one of my fish wouldn't stop picking on him and so his fins started to rot from his wounds. It got so bad that he hardly had any fins left! Then 2 years later, the poor guy got stuck in the pump because he was sick and couldn't free himself. The pump damaged his fins pretty badly. Both times this stuff healed him up perfectly, and his fins grew back entirely. They are as full and beautiful as ever before. Just follow the instructions on the bottle and there's no reason why it shouldn't work!

Hagen Marina Pearlscaper Cardamine Plant, 12-Inch, Blue
In the end this is large plant and looks nice in my tank, it helps cover the splitting wall for my 10 gallon betta tank, and the betta seems to love to swim through it and lay on the plant. It is a great addition to the tank and it seems to have received the approval of Tofu, my male betta (the other betta is named Sushi). :) Highly recommend!!My theme in my guppy tank is blue and purple. This so far has stayed together, and looks very pretty.

So far I have few things to say about this filter system. 1: I cant find the replacement cartridges anywhere else. 2: the connectors that attach the plates are really tight fits. 3: The system works exactly as it should though I recommend some sort of media under it to help process the waste that collects there. It does exactly what it is supposed top do and in my larger tank wiht a 55gal sized one I even have a turbo jet hooked up to is. Keeps the tank much cleaner.Want Lee's 15/20 Original Undergravel Filter, 12-Inch by 24-Inch Discount?
It didn't come with the pump or long enough hoses, but that's just what I assumed was going to be in it. It's not their fault it didn't come with it. But, whatever... sometimes I'm over-critical. But, yeah... already had a hose and then just got a fuel hose connector and some quarter inch hose and boom! Bubbles through tubes in the back of my fresh water fish tank. Oh, joy.Eshopps WD-75CS Wet Dry Filter - 10 to 75 gallons - 18 in. x 10 in. x 16 in.
The filter went in without much issue. I had a clearance issue but thats not an issue with the filter so i had to trim the pvc inserts they give you for the overflow line. Also perhaps my pump is too powerful but the output nozzle from the filter needed a clamp as it would constantly leak. I trimmed my lines to size and so far no problems. The pump is running full open and the overflow box seems to keep up without much issue. I had a issue with the u-tube having an air bubble in it and for the life of me I was unable to get it out but I poured a lot of water in the overflow box and it pushed the bubble out. The reason I give this 4 stars was because of the leaking of the nozzle and the poor instructions.
The pre-marked waterline is deffinetly a plus as I don't want to spend all day trying to figure out the best water level. So far I like the filter and will write another review after a few weeks. That review will be mainly about performance of the filter once its been run for longer than a few hours.I love this system I had to do a lil modification to fit my needs but it works great I bought a longer return tubing put in on a ball valve to control the water because my pump was pumping water quicker than it was filling in the w/d all in all recommend it

This brush will curve to any pipe on your canister filter.It acts like a snake.Now I don't have to brake any more brushes.Gotta try it.Brushes are sturdy enough so don't use it like an ape.Be gentle.It's cleans area that you normally won't reach with a normal brush.Read Best Reviews of Hagen Marina Flexible Coil Brush Here
to really get crap out of tubing the brush could stand to b a bit less soft. It does flex well to get thru tubing but If your trying to get coralline off it's not very effective unless you soak whatever in a strong vinegar bath for a good while first. Takes a bit of scrubbing for algae too! I also had the brush come off also inside my protein skimmer...luckily I could get some tweezers in the hole & pull it out! I got it screwed back in tight but now don't trust it as much!To those that had trouble w/the brush coming off, if u just twist it back into the wire tubing it goes right back! Just tighten it REALLY hard & it'll stay! I've done that after it came off & it's been fine! Still needs to b a bit less wimpy of a brush though!!It is a brush on a flexible shaft. What more is there to say. It cleaned what I needed it to clean.

JW Pet Company 22-Inch Aquarium Algae Scraper
This is not rigid enough to scrape anything off. It twists and flexes. There's absolutely no way this would ever remove anything without a ridiculous amount of work. I tried removing light film algae from a reef tank. Tried removing film algae in a planted tank. Not even going to discuss a calcareous type of algae as it would be futile to try. Going back to the old credit card method.Fine product but I wish it was straighter the curve at the blade end limits where I can use it in my reef tank.

I have a nano reef aquarium, with live rock aquascaping and a territorial female clownfish (where the male, and other fish in my aquarium are peaceful towards me) Anyways I was getting tired of being attacked by my female while scraping the glass on my tank with the little scraper I had. So I got this one. Now it's easier for me to scrape around the tank without being attacked and without knocking over most of my live rock.Read Best Reviews of JW Pet Company 22-Inch Aquarium Algae Scraper Here

The construction of this scraper is great except for the blade. Does not scrape evenly and takes a lot of effort to scrape the algae off the glass.Sunday, October 13, 2013
Hydor H2Show Lost Civilization Background with Application Gel for Aquariums 31.5"x15.75"
Furthermore, the item arrived promptly.
That said, the resolution of the image is CRAP. I have to be honest. When I look through my fish tank, I can see the poor resolution quality just as I could when I was holding the background up in person and looking at it. Furthermore, the background arrived rolled up, and the roll was crinkled! Fortunately, I was cutting a small piece of this background out as I have a small fish tank, but nonetheless, if I were using the background to its full capacity I would have been angry. True, it likely wasn't sent by the manufacturer crumpled up, but the fact that it likely got damaged during shipping tells me that the seller needs to package it better.
I LOVE the design. I LOVE the shipping speed. But the image quality and the fact that the background arrived crinkled makes this an unacceptable buy for nineteen bucks. I'd pay no more than 8 dollars--or less than half of what I just paid--for it if I were to buy again.This looks much better on the aquarium than even in the picture. Mine did arrive bent as if the box was crushed. I layed it out for a week to straighten (so it lost a star) before adhering it to the tank. I cut it down to fit a 20 gallon tank and used the oil sparingly on the cling. It took about an hour to get all the bubbles out with a kithchen spatula but the effect is worth it.
UPDATE
After 6 months this won't stay on the tank no matter what I do, edges curl and air pockets streak the background. I would not buy this again.

The resolution of the image is poor (aka blurry) but isn't a problem when seen from a distance. The image is very dark! You cannot see the details of the ruins or jungle plants like the in example photo. This image is nearly all black with some brown and gold accents such as the sun or reflecting water in the image. The size of this was wrong for my tank (40gallon.) It ended up being too tall, but not long enough. I used black paper to create a border to hide where the image was short on either side. I'm thinking of adding the ornaments since they might hide the exposed edges but since I'm not using this tank for fish...I'm not sure. Overall I really like the idea of these fantasy scenes since they are very different than all the other backgrounds which are rather dull. Needs to come in more sizes for larger tanks! Neat idea but certainly needs some work. I like this and my Tortoises seem to like the change. Didn't use the gel, just used tape. If this image was lighter so you could see all the details I would give this 5 stars for coolness, but you can hardly see the plants or anything.Tuesday, August 27, 2013
