Zoo Med Tropic Sun 5500K Daylight Fluorescent Bulb T8 18 Watt, 24-Inch

Zoo Med Tropic Sun 5500K Daylight Fluorescent Bulb T8 18 Watt, 24-InchThis lamp is cheap. Did not put out enough light. I bout a replacement after only using it for an hour. It does not have white light. It puts off a yellow hugh.i

Unfortunately, after receiving the bulb, I discovered I had ordered the wrong size, so I gave this one to a relative with a large fish tank. My girlfriend went to a local location and purchased the correct bulb for me, but this one is supposed to be fairly good.

Has lasted me 4 years so far. My fish love it and it was sent very expeditiously. I have a black moor and some neon tetras and some white clouds in a 30 gallon, lightly planted aquarium.

This is the first fluorescent lamp I bought for my 40 gallon tank, therefore I can't compare it to others. But my life plants are thriving and the color temperature of the light creates a nice, natural look. So I can only recommend it for the price.

I bought this light for my 29g aquarium. As soon as I instaled and turned on the light the water looked green. Just a warning to those of you who think that this light will be good for growing plants. It will not grow them very well. The light emits a green tint which does not look good. I would save you $ and buy a better light. The one that I have now is an 8000k light and it works much better.

Aqueon 06227 Siphon Vacuum Aquarium Gravel Cleaner Extender

Aqueon 06227 Siphon Vacuum Aquarium Gravel Cleaner ExtenderFirst of all I thought this vacuum was going to be great because of the telescoping feature, well, when you try to stick the end in the gravel, the telescoped part just goes right back into the tube, and when you do manage to get it in the gravel, it just sucks up an entire tube-ful of it and then doesn't pick up anything else, and the gravel won't come out. I had to stop the siphon, and get the gravel out, then restart it again, and immediately the tube filled up with gravel again.

Howdy folks:

I do not recommend this product. it picks gravel up and they get stuck in the end. constantly having to pick rocks out of siphon. will work good for changing water though.

Microbe-Lift Algaway 5.4 Algae Control for Fresh Water Home Aquariums

Microbe-Lift Algaway 5.4 Algae Control for Fresh Water Home Aquariums, 8-OunceI thought at first the product didn't work, however after using it as directed for a few weeks, the algae is very much disappearing and under control. I couldn't see it at first the first week or so, but now, it clearly works well and my freshwater fish do not seem at all to be affected. It's hard to dose individual drops iwth the spout provided, though, but if the stuff works I'll deal with the dosing of the water!

I am using it for my pond over the last 2 years and it is doing a great job, I am very happy.

Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Ornament SH189 white

Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Ornament SH189 whiteI like the priicng, and it looks nice on the picture against the black background, but it looks pretty fake in the tank, and just looked blah to us. I would not buy this again.

i love this for my fish tank! the fronds or stems move with the water, and look very cool!/nice...a bigger size than i wasexpecting which is nice and there is a good substantial base for these that will stay submerged without being an eyesore at the same time...high quality and fast shipping! I recommend this!

This item smells toxic. I returned it without putting it in my aquarium. I kept a similar product I purchased from the same company that smelled just as bad and I did everything I could to remove the smell. Soaked it in a bucket for days, ran it through the dishwasher, scrubbed it with Dawn. Nothing helped. I finally put it in a closet. I've had it for over a month and there is no reduction in smell. I don't believe there will ever be time when the smell of the material goes away.

This fake anemone was sold to me by Given-Arts, which is a good seller, and I know that some of their products are great. The cush-ball style fake anemones they sell do not smell bad and are tank safe so don't write them off entirely. I put one in my tank and it didn't hurt the fish. Given-Arts refunded my money promptly for the bad smelling item but refused to pay shipping since they insisted their products are safe for fish and I don't have proof they are not. The customer service was responsive and friendly.

Herbtana Saltwater Formula

Herbtana Saltwater Formula Size: 16 oz.I purchased two 16oz bottles of Microbe-Lift Herbtana to treat my 200 gallon saltwater tank. There were several fish with mild white spots(ich). I added 50ml of Herbtana to my tank every night for 10 nights(one bottle) with no sign of the fish getting better, in fact there were more white spots on the fish, especially a longnose butterfly. I continued with the second bottle for another 10 nights, still no improvement. About a week later the longnose butterfly died. This product in my opinion does not work and was a waste of money and a very nice fish. I still have the white spots on a few other fish and need to find another remedy.

February 1,2011

Please use this before you use ANYTHING else that may harm your corals or invertebrates, or further stress your fish. It is simple, effective, and not too pricey considering your other options. Takes a tad bit longer to start working, but it DOES work, and will save your tank from devastation!

The Herbtana product does work. I think it is important to ensure that you turn off your protein skimmer and remove the carbon during entire treatment. Do not remove the biological filter as this holds the good bacteria that protect your fish. I also recommend using this with Microbelift Special Blend.

Not sure why the other reviewer had such a poor experience, but I've used this product for a year now with great success. I alternate it with Artemiss for 2 days (per product instructions) when I introduce new fish into QT in order to support immune system function. I've also had great success treating sick fish with both products both in QT and in my reef.

Marina C10 Compact Heater

Marina C10 Compact Heater, 10-WattI have used this heater in 2 tanks now, 1 1.6 gallon and now its in a 2 gallon rimless shrimp tank. Keeps the water 72-78 without fail. No you can't adjust the temperature, but for 98% of freshwater fish it is the correct temp anyway. The light only comes on when its heating. No light, no Heating. It does NOT mean that its broken if the light doesn't come on. Check your tank temperature before complaining about it. I can almost guarantee you that your tank is in that sweet spot it should be.

I would definitely buy another without hesitation.

I bought the Marina C25 compact heater about 2 weeks ago. I was worried about purchasing this because of the bad reviews, but I decided to go for it because it was on sale at my local fish store. This heater looks EXACTLY like the Fluval Compact Heater 25watt. The heater is thin, and not at all bulky like it is made to appear in the photo. This heats my Fluval Edge 6 Gallon perfectly! The temperature is a constant 76-78 degrees. I had to remove my thermometer just to make sure it was working (it was) because I never saw fluctuations in temperature.

The directions do say that you should submerge the heater into the tank and leave in there (unplugged) for about 10 min. I left it in for an hour before plugging it in. I was worried about fully submersing the entire thing into the water (even the part where the cord comes into the heater), but IT IS OK to do that. I had to research it on a different site to make sure I wasn't going to get electrocuted. The heater needs to be underwater at all times. This heater is awesome, and I definitely recommend this product.

This heater stablized the 2 gallon tank quickly and maintains at 77-78. Does not overheat even a very small tank.

Aquarium Fish Tank Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Siphon Pump

Aquarium Fish Tank Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Siphon PumpSo I was surprised with the quick delivery to my house, but pretty much everything failed. I opened it and pinched the hose to see how tough the plastic was, it wasn't tough at all, and 2 minutes later when I try to use the thing to clean my tank I get a leak in the hose right where I had pinched it. The pump, well, it works, if you hold it so the open end is up when you squeeze, the plastic piece that allows suction to be possible is extremely cheap and I wouldn't expect it to last long. Also there is nothing written in english on the directions. This thing could be usable if you don't plan on messing with the actual hose, but its such cheap plastic don't be surprised if it gets a leak, a slight pinch of the hose was enough to make the plastic crease. I was really trying to show the previous reviewers up by making this thing work flawlessly, needless to say that didn't happen. Not worth 5 bucks folks.

Its good for a quick water change but it has zero suction as a vacuume and once your down to the last 5 inches of water in the bottom of the tank it doesn't work at all. But when we do our 25% water change every week it's a good tool.

Not worth the money. Did not work. It would be more beneficial to just buy a more expensive product that will actually work.

alright for the price, took a little figurine out and looking at the picture but its pretty nice. Not cheaply made either.

I couldnt even figure out how to work it. It came with no directions and I tried it many different ways and I wasn't successful. I wouldn't buy this product again.

Finnex Ray2 Aquarium Day/Actinic LED Light, 36-Inch

Finnex Ray2 Aquarium Day/Actinic LED Light, 36-InchI needed to get four to provide the light that I wanted for my 125 Gallon but two would have probably worked just fine

I LOVE this light. I made a switch from a used T5 with new bulbs and it was not doing anything special for the frags I purchased. As soon as the Ray2 was plugged in my frags perked up and began to grow. I see more coraline algae growth and the colors on my Potters Angle really pop.

I will be purchasing another for a friend who is just staring in this hobby. I'm sure they will love this too.

real good fixture for the price. solid build and really light. its alot more white than purple/blue like most leds but it does the job. Can't really say anything about coral growth just yet. and really wish there was a seperate switch for the blue and white leds. i'm happy with this purchase.
