Dainichi Veggie FX Sinking, Baby, 1.1 Lb

I've been using this food for over 3 years. My mbuna cichlids love this food and even though they are all over 5" now and full grown, I still like these small pellets because they enjoy digging in the gravel searching for any remaining pellets they missed when I fed them. They sink but slowly and it provides good nutients and they all have great color from feeding this food. This company provides many selections for any type cichlids you may own. Mine are all veggie eaters, so this is the selection I have always used. I highly recommend this product, it hasn't let me down yet.

Tetra Pond Clarifier

Better in bulk! I use this regularly before cleaning my turtle tanks and found that more is better than less. Ill buy again!

If you follow the directions on the bottle, this stuff works really well, especially if you also use the algae remover with it.

My father spends countless hour working in his pond out back in his 16ft by 30ft back yard. The pond is about five feet in diameter but you would think it was an ocean. I truly believe the pond gives him complete serenity throughout the day. That's why it's so important to have great products like the "Tetra Pond Water Clarifier". We could not find it anywhere and luckily Amazon.com had it. I thank Amazon and Tetra for your product, it works wonders.

We have a 4,000 gal pond and this year for some reason the pollen in our area was very bad.I purchased this product in hopes it would help clear up our pond.However, I found out that in only made matters worse. I was calling all our pond maintenance people to come out and help. We were pulling water changes at 25% every day just to get the murky water out of the pond.Our fish were very stressed out and we have several large Koi. I don't recommend this product.

SpongeBob SquarePants® Aquarium Kit, 3 Gallon Tank

I bought this for as a Christmas present for my son. I think it is adorable and like the size. We had to buy a heater and a light for it so for the price, it could've at least came with a light. Also the top has slits in it so the tank gets dirty fast.

Because that's basically what you are paying for here. The small plastic tank with cover is a basic "critter keeper" that you can get at most stores for around $10. Then they throw in a vinyl background and two SpongeBob decorations. Go to any discount store and you can do better.

Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank Battery Powered Portable Air Pump

Kept my fish alive during Superstorm Sandy. We had no power for over a week, and this little thing kept bubbling away. We ran it 24 hours a day and it only needed one battery change mid-way. We have a 20 gallon with about 11 fish. It runs fairly quiet compared to a previous pump that I had.

It came with air line tubing and an air stone in case you need one. Nice to have that bonus.

The plastic case isn't the highest quality I have ever seen in a product, but the batteries fit in, the case closed and the pump worked, so hard to complain for less than $10.00!

the best thing about this battery powered air pump is that it is cheep but it gets the job done i am glad that i got 3 of these pumps i have a 125 gallon tank with 3 full grown oscars in it this past year we had a power outage for 12 days and this pump kept them all alive one more comment for those that would like a light on your tank they make something that you plug your light into it will run it for about 24 hours but the batteries for it are nt cheep like $12 for just one

No complaints about this product, and not much to add to my title. I had to drive from Northwest Indiana to Kissimmee Florida (a good 17 hour drive, NOT including the periodic rest stops and gas stations) and this was one of 3 pumps I had going for my 3 containers of fish. As I said, this thing kept trucking along the entire trip, even well after we arrived to our destination. I'm not sure how much longer it would have lasted, but all I know is, I was STILL going when I decided to just put new batteries in while I kept the fish in their bins while I caught some zzz's.

Great product. Great reliability.

Tetra Extension Tube for Whisper 30 and 40 Filters

Each section fit into the existing 30 Top Fin I have without problems. I also have a 20 Top Fin. Top Fin is sold by Pet Smart and appears very similar to Whisper pumps. A point to remember is this tube does not fit the 20 model. The 20 has a smaller tube. Apparently, the 20 does not have an available extension and comes with a tube length too close to the discharge in my opinion. Both pumps work better, also in my opinion, with the tube inlet closer to the tank bottom. I bought aquarium silicon sealer and glued this tube between the 20 tube and intake section, let dry 24 hours, and have cleaner clearer 20 and 30 gallon aquariums.

I purchased this extension hoping to extend the filter tube however when I tried to put it on my existing filter Whisper 20 system, the tube was larger than the existing one and would not fit

Buy Tetra Extension Tube for Whisper 30 and 40 Filters Now

Looked around for an extension, since I bought a deep 60 gallon hexagonal tank, you need a longer extension for the intake to get down into the tank for better filtration. I wish power filter companies would automatically include a long extension, especially since it wouldnt cost that much to include it anyway, but thank goodness you can get it here, on Amazon.

Cal Pump PW2500 Direct Drive 2500 GPH Waterfall Pump

Shipping was very quick. I have used this pump in the past works well. I generally get about 3 to 4 years out of it and I have to get a new one. How ever I use it year round in my outside pond about 1500 gals. And we go down to zero degrees sometimes in the winter. It has a good price for what you get.

This is the 3rd cal2500 we have purchased over the last 10 years.

The price is right and it is so quiet you would never know it was there.

It works great for our pond and waterfall. Our pond is 3ft deep, 12ft across the diameter. We keep the pump on all year except for cleaning so I would expect to replace it in approximately 2 years.

This model did not have the cage around the bottom, but that didn't make a difference to me.

Hope this helps.

Kent Marine 00896 ZooMax, 1-Ounce Bottle

This food solution is awesome. Animals in my tank are thriving... feather dusters always come out as soon as a few drops hit the water. Very concentrated and eye dropper makes feeding very easy. Love that it comes with a plastic container to but the bottle in.... keeps the smell locked inside. The 1-ounce bottle does last for a while.

So do the fish as they try eating the larger pieces! The starfish come out too so it does seem to be well liked by my tank buddies! 4stars is only cuz it's kind of expensive for a small bottle but does last a bit as u only use drops at a time! I have LOTS of coral so I use it EO day or every if the corals have their tentacles out!

Really crummy packaging. For as much money as Blue Ribbon gets for their stuff, you think the packaging would be better. Took it out of the outside box (with other items) it slid out of the cheap cardboard box, hit the tile floor and broke in 4 pieces. Right from the get go. Crazy glued it together and had it in my 75 gal. I think this is made of plaster, not resin. pH of my tank is way high. Now its history.

Aquaclear Foam Inserts, 3-Pack

I am very active in the aquarium hobby and the AquaClear 50 (all models I have tried) are just awesome. What I find most attractive about these filters besides the fact that they function flawlessly with very little maintenance, is that they have seperate media replacement parts. You can customize your personal AquaClear to your needs. Personally I use two filter foams instead of one and one carbo insert. You can always add the carbon insert quickly and easily if needed.

A few bits of advice:

1) Use a pre-filter sponge over the intake for added biologocal activity as well as preventing small fish or shrimp from getting sucked into filter

2) Regularly (once a month) shake/squeeze both the pre0filter sponge you put on as well as the media from in the filter in water you JUST REMOVED from your tank when doing your regular water change. DO NOT rinse the media in tap water ro use hot or cold water period.

3) Once a month, unplug and unscrew the motor housing and remove the impeller and use an old toothbrush or cotton swab and clean both the impeller and the impeller housing.

These AquaClears are workhorses and the ability to tailor the filtration to your individual tank makes them invaluable.

5 starts on this one!

I'm low tech so AquaClear's are all I've ever used on my smaller tanks. I use two foam inserts in the filter chamber. With my last two foam inserts, one seemed to break down much faster than the other. Hope these new ones hold up.

Not much to review here... just a sponge. I wanted them to use as prefilters for all of my HOB's. I took all 3 out of the box, cut a hole down the middle, so that the intake tube of my HOB filter, will slip inside of the sponge. Compared to a "job specific" sponge that my LFS wants $19 for, I get 3 of em for quarter the price!

AquaClear is a great brand. The foam I got did seem a little cheaper quality than the foam that came with the filter. Since it came in a 3 pack, I used only one since they last forever and decided to cut up the others to fit my smaller filters.

Out of this 3 pack and after cutting some up I ended up getting:

1 for my 70

2 for my 50

2 for my 30

and a home made slip for the tube so the fry don't get sucked up into the filter.

Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 5 lbs.

Gravel arrived in a timely manner and in good condition from seller. I am pleased with the size of the gravel as it is not too fine and not too coarse for the aquarium I am setting up for my goldfish. Each grain of gravel is in the range of size of a coffee bean or slightly smaller. I've heard that if the gravel is too fine, the goldfish sometimes mistakenly eat the gravel since they like to "forage" for their food from time to time. However, I also heard that if the gravel is too coarse, then it provides less surface area for "good bacteria" to develop. So, I think I've found a good size to work with and I am pleased with purchase. I bought 3 bags total in black for my modest 6 gallon aquarium. Color offsets nicely with green plants and orange color of the fish.

Wanted rocks, found them at a reasonable price, bought the rocks. As streamline a process as one could ever ask for, and the reliability of amazon's services is unparalleled. I am very pleased with the outcome of this transaction and will continue to shop this site for all of my aquarium needs.

Buy Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 5 lbs. Now

I bought a bag of this at my local Petco store and from the day I put my aquarium together, I knew I wasted my money. It's hard to see while still in the bag, but before you start using it the paint is already coming off. This is really bad because the synthetic material underneath is white. Being under water makes it look even worse. I left this in the tank for three months because I hate the thought of wasting my money and I was hoping is wouldnt get any worse. It did. During the few months I had it, my water was always cloudy with no chemical imbalances. and when I noticed the gravel was still losing paint, I decided enough was enough. After three months I replaced it with a new bag I got from my locally owned pet store. I think the brand was "Estes'" or something like that. Ever since then, my water has been so clear I can't even tell it's there.

Heed my advice, buy a brand your local pet store recommends!

Read Best Reviews of Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 5 lbs. Here

I love the jet black as gravel color. It makes my aqua-scaping and fish POP. The green of my plants looks brighter and my fish also seem brighter. I also like that uneaten food is highly visible for removal after feedings. My only warning it that I had to rinse this stuff until I was blue in the face. When I first thought I was done, I began adding water to my 30 gallon and my water turned dusty black. I had to start all over again.

Also, speaking of plants. the size of this gravel has been perfect for my Anubias, Amazon sword, and two other live plants to grow roots in. When I move the plants to vacuum the gravel a golf ball sized chuck of gravel stays with the roots. But if need be, the gravel is larger enough to easily remove from roots without damaging them (Like if you were going to move the plant into a tank with a different gravel color, or a cichlid tank with sand).

I certainly recommend this product.

Coralife 05509 Mini Compact Fluorescent 50/50 Colormax Lamp, 10-Watt

I use two of these bulbs in the hood of a 10 gallon freshwater tank.

Pros:

-gives off a lot of light

-makes your tank look really good, you can really see fish coloration

-uses very little electricity

-does not generate much heat

Cons:

-don't seem to last long, 3-4 months usually (I have purchased them from Amazon, and from a couple of local pet stores-they all seem to have the same lack of longevity no matter where they come from)

-you will need a dark hiding spot for anyone who doesn't

like to be in the bright light

-I have higher green algae growth, vs 'yellow' incandescent bulbs

-does not generate much heat (only bad if you do not use a heater and rely on the bulb to warm your water)

This review may only legally be shown directly on Amazon.com.

Edit 4/4/2011: Rating lowered to 2 stars. These bulbs are not as waterproof or water resistant as they should be, I went to change one of these that went out (I keep a couple of incandescent bulbs for temporary use when one of these dies) and I could smell the odor of burnt plastic coming from the tank hood. I removed the bulb and found scorch marks on the plastic base where the glass tube enters. The bulb had accumulated water inside the base (which came out black) and I'm guessing caught fire.

After multiple attempts to contact them the manufacturer will not respond to inquiries about why these bulbs do not last very long or why the one bulb was not appropriately waterproof or water resistant. I don't think I will be buying more of this bulb-unless the manufacturer decides to reply to my questions and stand behind their product, or improve it.

I have been using this bulb for about a couple weeks now and It works great! When I had my original incandescent lighting that came with the lid of my aquarium, it looked very yellow which didn't look amusing...After installing 2 of these in my 10 Gallon tank, the whole tank just lit up and I can see everything in a more natural setting. The white/blue light went perfect for my aquarium. The fishes are brighter, plants are more vibrant, and my water looks a lot clearer too! I have freshwater tropical fishes and it is just looks good! Imagine a saltwater tank underneath these lights! Although I should of gotten the 20 Watt instead of the 10 watt. Oh well, Next time...I would recommend this light, if you want a cheap up-grade, for around $8 bucks, it's well worth the look of your tank or whatever your using it for.

Fluval U4 Underwater Filter Poly/Carbon

This product, along with the actual filter, are great products. I have two turtles that can make quite a mess, but this filter cleans the water extremely well.

I use the U4 along with Fluval's hangon tank filter in a 55g for water turtles. They together keep the tank ok and cheaper right now than the FX I want. But this is short term solution and they filters are at opposite ends of tank to push together dirty water.

SO while this works, I wouldn't recommend others do it if they can afford the FX series for water turtles. This is best for fish, and haven't had any problems with my feeder fish getting into this filter.

*Change out only one side(there are 2) at a time to keep the good biological bacteria.

I would give this a 5 star rating if it was just based on how much my 23 year old cat loves these treats! The description didn't give the "dosage" which is recommended on the package as 5 a day---YIKES!!!---so they don't last very long. I have found that they are a little too large for her to "grab" in one bite but you can break them in half easily enough with just a fingernail. They are a little on the stinky side but not too bad. She loves the flavor and they seem to be perking her up a little bit. She's pretty finicky when it comes to things like this so I am very pleased that she likes something that seems to be helping her. I reordered and got 2 bags this last time (I'm an optimist...we don't plan ahead on a lot for an ancient kitty like Willow lol). The seller also ships quickly.

Hydrofarm AAPA25L Air Pump with 8 Outlets

I've owned about 5 different air pumps (of those were AquaCulture, Marina, Hydrofarm) ... I've found that only Hydrofarm pumps don't fail when you run them 24/7 ... With those other brands (AquaCulture, Marina, and even Tetra for that matter) the nozzle responsible for pushing out air is made of plastic. Every plastic nozzle eventually broke off one day and killed my plants before I even knew what went wrong. The airline was connected only once after unboxing. With that said, if you never touch the air pump and leave it running, it should last for years and years. AquaCulture and Marina can't keep that promise.

I've only bought two other air pumps from Hydrofarm: a single and a double outlet. The single-outlet Hydrofarm was the first air pump I bought ever, and it only failed because I unknowingly placed the pump on the ground and it sucked up water. If you read the directions, there are even pictures stating not to place the pump below water levels. For whatever reason I decided to try other brands. I still have a 2-outlet Hydrofarm and a few other AquaCulture single & double outlets: the Hydrofarm has now become my first backup and the AquaCulture (with plastic nozzles) are my backup's backup.

My garden grew to the point 1 and 2 outlet aquarium air pumps didn't fit the bill. I needed something that could push significantly more air than an aquarium air pump, but I was annoyed with far divide between commercial and residential air pumps. I needed something that pushed a lot of air but didn't make a lot of noise: I even thought of buying a commercial air pump and running a 70 foot airline so I didn't have to hear it. I was really between a rock and a hard place so I took a chance on this 8-outlet pump.

I don't know what I was expecting. My first Hydrofarm air pump had 2 outlets and was about the size of a softball. The single was about the same size.

One day I came home and saw this box on my porch that looked like it could fit a Jack Russell Terrier. I was waiting on 2 or 3 different Amazon orders, but I didn't order anything that should look like that. I lifted the box and the weight felt like there could have been a small dead dog in there. Anyway I opened the box, and the freaking pump is the size of a watermelon! A damn watermelon of an air pump!! A behemoth with 8 ports.

It's been running 2 months now 24/7 with no problems. I wasn't sure how I was going to divide the air: I assumed I might have to spoil one plant with two outlets, but each port puts out enough to really beat your roots if you don't diffuse them with airstones or similar. I finally gave up on airstones because I can't find any that are quality, so 1 outlet on each plant with the dial turned to 40-50% output is better air than they've ever gotten before.

Noise was also a concern. If you want to keep these pumps as silent as possible, each outlet has to be running somewhere, even if the airline isn't connected to anything. If you compared the noise of the 2-outlet and 8-outlet Hydrofarm air pumps, they are both extremely quiet, but each of the outlets has to be used (if nothing more than airline running away from it). I'm using all 8 outlets on this air pump and it is extremely quiet: any outlet on either pump without airline makes a very noticeable annoying vibration. One can easily be louder over the other just based on if you're using all the ports. When all the ports are used properly it makes the sound of a small refrigerator ... so you can be 10 feet away and barely notice it.

I knew residential air pumps were lacking performance and I know commercial air pumps would be way too noisy. This pump is the best both worlds without the negative of either. If I need more air I will likely buy another one of these before I upgrade to a noisy commercial pump.

I bought two of these, haven't hooked the second one up but the first one has more push than I even really needed, and it functions without creating a tremendous amount of noise. I'm glad I bought this product.

As for the person whose air pump didn't work, how about reviewing after contacting the manufacturer? Defective products happen, and Hydro Farm is perhaps the most reputed supplier in the arena of hydroponics. I'm sure they would be happy to replace the product and/or issue a refund.

I was raising tadpoles and they needed something to cling to as they developed lungs. This mini log was the answer. It was small enough for the tiny froglets to latch onto.

Eheim Pro 3 Aquarium Filter Model 2073

I bought the Pro 3 2075 brand new in Sept 2012 that came with a 3 year warranty. The filter leaked after 2 years destroying my $350 wooden stand. Water leaked out near the power cord. After searching the net I found out that this was a common issue among Pro 3 filters made before Aug 2010. There have also been countless reports of Eheim's Customer Support department ignoring customer emails when contacted for warranty claims.

I emailed them and immediately the next day I received a reply asking for the Serial number, the shipping address and the retail store from which I bought the filter. I replied with the information and that was the last I heard from them. I have sent them 4 more emails since then and they completely ignored them. I have been another victim of their scam.

Apparently Eheim is engaging in fraudulent acitivities, marketing their filters as "Premium" products that come with a 3 year warranty. However, they will try their best NOT to honor the warranty. Maybe I need to call them everyday and write nasty letters to get them to acknowledge my issue. I know some of their victims have received a replacement head unit this way after sending threatening emails and making repeated phone calls. However, it shouldn't have to be this difficult.

I have another Pro 2 filter that also leaked after 6 years of operation. From what I have heard, the company was bought and the quality of customer service has become horrible since then. It is now reaching the point of fraud.

I will never buy another Eheim product again. Beware!!!

Works great on my wife's Goldfish Tank (There are dirty little bugers)

Once I got the Hang of the start up feature (push the button and it sucks water into the filter) for start up with little cavitation.

Fairly easy to clean and lots of space for bio or chem media

I have it over 9 months now and working like a charm

I've owned two eheim canister filters the most recent being the Pro3. Both were disappointing! While they do have lots of room for media when they work they work well. The problem is that they are difficult to prime and in my experience they were nothing but a problem. Both units failed to maintain flow. The unit would be operating normally producing a good steady flow. I would come back a few hours later and it would be coming out in a trickle. I would reset and again it would produce a nice flow. Few hours later a trickle. I contacted tech support requesting assistance in trouble shooting the problem...no response after several attempts. I'm done. I'm done with eheim! I'll never buy one again.

I've had this filter for over a year. Recently had a problem where I could not get the nozzles to eject from the motor head. This was very frustrating I had moved the lever to the release position, pushed on the red button, and the nozzles would not pop off. I eventually tore the entire filtering system out of the tank and brought the whole set up to the sink to take a closer look at the problem. After a frustrating couple of days, I did find an Eheim sales rep and she told me that when reinserting the nozzle fixture back into the motor, the lever on the motor needs to be totally in the release position (not half way, not partial way). If the lever is not entirely in the release position, pushing the nozzle fixture into the motor will cause misloading and you will never be able to get the nozzles out of the motor again. End of story need to get an entirely new motor head! I looked on the Eheim site and never saw any reference to this problem. Anyway, just a fyi. I got my motor replaced for no charge and now I am very careful when inserting the nozzles back into the motor. Don't rush and make the same mistake I did. Other than this problem, I love this canister filter. It is my first and I hope the last filter I will ever need. Filtration is fantastic, prefilter works great, and I can get this thing cleaned out and attached back to the tank with little effort and no mess.
