Spongebob 10-Piece Aquarium Decorative Set

Spongebob 10-Piece Aquarium Decorative SetFast shipping, great quality item, fantastic price and good communication :-) Would definately recommend to anyone to use this site and these products. They are perfect! We got all characters and houses to recreate Bikini Bottom in our daughters tank for xmas. She was thrilled and very happy!

what else can you say about this set other than "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS". if your kid (or you) is a fan of the cartoon, than this set is going to be a great addition to your aquarium. only thing is gary is a little large (compare to the other guys). great item, great value

Squidwards house is about 8 inches tall. The crabby patty is about 4 iches tall, and the characters are around 2.5 inches. these are not actuall measurements, but it would be nice if the actual ones were in the product description. We have them in half of a 55 gal tank which these are still noticable from a distance, but they would work best I think in a 10-20 gal tank. However this doesn't impact the rating. I knew what I was buying from other reveiws, and my son chose to put it in our bigger tank instead of a little one. I like the weight and feel of the product, and the only real flaw or fault with the product is Sandy's face is hard to see through her hemet. For the price these things are great. Seeing as you can spend $50 or more on a decoration for your tank, and for less then that you get a whole set.

TrueLumen 48-Inch TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, 12, 000K Diamond White with Canopy BracketsChristmas gift for my son. He said it is awesome!!

Shipped right away in time for Christmas.

Great price

Pros

Great Brightness, pure white, better than my double fourescent bulb interms of the quality of the light.

Size. It doesnt look like much but is the perfect size. Just laid it on the top of my tank cover and it looks awesome

Cons

I bought a marineland LED light and I lost the box it came in so I can't return it. Not nearly as bright, bulky, but I can still use the blue lighting for night time effect.

If you are looking for a bright daytime light this is the one for you.

Oceanic 36011 BiocubeMini Ultraviolet Sterilizer, 5-Watt

Oceanic 36011 BiocubeMini Ultraviolet Sterilizer, 5-WattI've struggled for years to control the algae in my 14 gallon saltwater Oceanic Biocube. Keeping the tank light off, removing 1/2 the bioballs and replacing them with live rock rubble, installing a protein skimmer, and doing weekly water changes (25%) helped control the algae, but didn't entirely cure the problem. After much reading on various aquarist blogs and forums, in my quest for a solution, I purchased the Oceanic Mini Ultraviolette Sterilizer. I wasn't sure that 5 watts would be strong enough for my tank (9 watts is said to be better), but it proved to be just fine for my small tank. Once I got the hose cut to the correct length, the Sterilizer installed in only a few minutes with the use of tools. I've had the Sterilizer installed for nearly a month now, and the tank water is crystal clear. The fish seem much happier too, since they no longer need to live in the dark. I read that the UV bulb needs to be changed every 6 months to retain effectiveness, so I'll be sure to do that. If you struggle with algae in your tank this Sterilizer is a worth buying because it works as promised.

A friend had told me that ultraviolet sterilization was the only way to get crystal-clear aquarium water. He recommended a $50 Fluval sterilizer that I could only find online; I didn't want to wait so I bit the bullet and picked up this model at a local pet shop.

I grimaced a bit at the $89 price tag but I was desperate: My 30-gallon tank was so murky from a stubborn bacteria bloom that I couldn't even see the back of it.

The following day I noticed a BIG difference. Five mornings after installing this sterilizer, I had CRYSTAL-CLEAR water!

I couldn't be happier. Get this, plus a small submersible pump for around $15, and you're in business. You don't necessarily have to have a Bio-Cube; my sterilizer and pump are simply hanging by their cords in the back of my regular tank, behind some plants.

So glad I made this purchase!

Buy Oceanic 36011 BiocubeMini Ultraviolet Sterilizer, 5-Watt Now

This is a great compact effective sterilizer for nano cubes up to 29 gallons. It's crafted specifically for Oceanic/Coralife Biocubes, but includes a universal adapter for other nano cubes. If you have a Biocube, this will hook up to existing pump. If you don't have Biocube, then you need to have a pump. Recommend Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200 which is original Maxijet still built in Italy. Works great and has kept my saltwater crystal clear. The biggest mistake that many people make is to run cheaper sterilizers on 24/7 basis. This will only result in burning out bulbs quickly, but you don't really need round the clock sterilization. I run mine for only 24hrs weekly and is effective. The more expensive high-end sterilizers ($200) have better build quality and can handle being run 24/7. Keep this mind when using any inexpensive sterilizers and you'll be alright. Keep an extra bulb on hand too.

Nutrafin Clear Water Clarifier, 4.1 Ounces

Nutrafin Clear Water Clarifier, 4.1 OuncesI use this occasionally when there more particulate matter in the tank than I want to wait to be filtered out.

The water in my fish tank was pretty cloudy. I put in 5 ml for my 20 gallon tank around noon. When I went back to look at it around 7:00 PM, the water was much cleaner. It wasn't crystal clear, but it was much better. I will give it another treatment in a few days.

Hydor Slim Skim Nano Internal Skimmer for Mini Aquariums and Reefs 23-35 galWell I got this product and the first thing I noticed was this thing was big 4 inches doesn't sound like alot till it's in your tank and wow is it big, I have it in

My 36 gallon bow front and I'm wishing I had got the smaller one already, other than that this is easy to set up and within an hour was already producing skim mate, I'm very happy with the feel of the product it doesn't feel cheap at all and its very quiet just you hear the bubbles poping defiantly recommend this product to anyone

This is a great unit. It takes ammonia out from the tank with no problems.

It really is a "Toilet System" for your tank, it takes your fishes pipi and pupu out!!! Thats all what it is!!! LOL... Very quiet and looks good too.

Quite impressed, job well done Hydor

After my red sea max 130 skimmer broke. I decided to choose this skimmer to take its place. This is the best skimmer I have ever purchased. It works perfectly and starting skimming waste within the first ten minutes. Easy to install and easy to ajust settings...

Not bad for a Cyber Monday discounted purchase. If not set just right, it does have a loud hum to it. But, once I got it all sitting just right, it is quiet.

First I should say that this product seems very well build and designed with high quality materials. However after almost two weeks I could not get it to produce material skimate and after two weeks the tank was still filled with micro bubbles. It is also very difficult to get set up as it seems like the suction cups can't quite hold it in place and the lip of the aquarium prevents it from going as high as I would have liked (30 gal cube with typical black plastic bracing). I attribute these difficulties to the lack of performance.

I see others have had better luck; however I'll go back to the traditional in-sump skimmer.

Marineland Penguin Power Head

Marineland PH0660 Penguin Power Head 660, 170GPHI purchased this to replaced an approx. 6 yr. old Penguin 660.

I was so pleased with the old powerhead I wanted to replace with same.

I was glad to see the model 660 was still available. The reliability and flexability would be hard to beat, especially at the price. They withstand being cloged, power outage, and being run "dry" during partial water chages. Definately a solid performer. Having tended over 60 aquiriums (salt and fresh)in the past at a local pet store and the personal use at home gives me a good idea of what works and what doesn't. This thing runs like a champ! Functional, flexable, tough and inexpensive.

I've used this pump now for about a year and it still works perfectly. Water circulation is outstanding. Only gripe I would have is that they need to be primed after every water change. For some reason, they hold the air inside the pump preventing water from flowing. Simple remedy is to just turn the unit upside down in the water for a few seconds to let the air out, once the water starts flowing again, just reinsert it back into the filter tube. Works perfect after that.

this pump head is an awesome buy it is whisper quiet and incredibly powerful would definitely buy more. I give this thing five stars, its quiet efficient and when you plug it in its so quiet that you never know it's on.

there's no knocking noise here unlike pumps from others... great product

After 1 week my 9 month puppy worked out how to open the 3 catches on the crate. The first time I thought it was my error. I should have trusted myself, the 2nd time she got out and tore up the fitted carpet. I now use cable wraps each time to ensure a closed door.

Very cheaply constructed many of the bars were bent when received. Locks do not line up in order to properly close the door. Top metal latch is not soldered together properly. Product was identified as new but torn box; however much worse than that when received.

Aqueon 09787 Cypress Aquarium Plant, 9-Inch

Aqueon 09787 Cypress Aquarium Plant, 9-InchI love this product. Since i have a turtle i do not have rocks in my tank. This is weighted perfect so even if he hits it, it stands right back up. The plant its self is a little more purple then pictured but it adds alot more color to my tank so for sure a plus to that. Could not be happier. Amazon did a wonderful job with shipment was here sooner then expected.

i purchased this product for my beta's tank. & he loved hiding in the foliage. but, unfortunately it cut it's tail & other fins to shreads. i had to remove it.

Elite Hush 10 Power Filter

Elite Hush 10 Power FilterThis filter came with my 10 gallon thank that I bought 4 years ago. It finally kicked the bucket and they don't sell the elite 10's anywhere close to me in stores! Anyway, I like this filter. It's easy to use, easy to clean and it's quiet. Yes, you can hear a soft (and I mean very very soft) hum....but only if you really are focused on listening for it! Ususally I keep the water in my tank full to the top, so all is quiet. I won't buy another filter. :)

I purchased this product for a 10 gal tank a friend gave me in order to upgrade from a 5 gal Hex system (that I absoutely love), so my fish would have more room. Right out of the box this thing drove me nuts. I went from an aquarium that I could see and not hear to one that I can hear all the way upstairs! It's worse when the lid is on. Not only that, but the intake valve is so short that when debris is "sucked up" toward it, the water flow pushes it right back down and away from the valve. It doesn't even reach half-way to the bottom of the tank when extended. I've already contacted the manufacturer since it's supposed to have a "lifetime warranty." I want my $ back & I am holding the people who designed this catastrophe responsible. DO NOT BUY this product.

My first Elite Hush 10 that came with my aquarium setup years ago was a fine power filter and I liked it just fine, did just what it was supposed to do. However, several years later when the first one died, I purchased my first replacement power filter, another Hush 10, and this one isn't but just a few months old and it makes a tremendous amount of motor noise for such a small filter, able to hear it a couple of rooms away if all else is quiet! I purchased a 3rd Hush 10 power filter, assuming my 2nd one was just a fluke, but the 3rd Hush 10 was 85% as loud as the one I was replacing right out of the box! 2 out of 3 of these Hush 10's have been a flop, I'm on the hunt for something else that's quieter!

American Marine Selcon Vitamin Supplement - 60 mL / 2 oz

American Marine Selcon Vitamin Supplement - 60 mL / 2 ozThere's a reason why Selcon is the most widely used vitamin in marine tanks it just works. Like others, I soak food in Selcon before adding it to the tank, and have noticed that the fish look better since starting them on it. A great bang for your buck would be to soak NLS pellets in this before feeding your fish, too.

I purchased this on the recomendation of a reef club member..

I use this and garlic extreme to soak my pellets and frozen food in. I put 1cc of this (it has a measured dropped and 3-5 drops of garlic extreme, then let the food soak for a couple of minutes. Fish love it and it helps with my filter feeders and nps. I will buy it again.
