Como Fish Tank 6 Layer Sponge Biochemical Water Corner Filter Black

Como Fish Tank 6 Layer Sponge Biochemical Water Corner Filter BlackI love this filter for the 10 gallon aquarium as it fits in the corner nicely and doesn't take up a lot of room. It does a great job in keeping the water cleaner. The sponge can be removed for cleaning as well along with the rest of the filter. It works great for my Axolotl as it is a smooth surface and she can not get hurt if she bumps into it. Great product.

Cat Dental Rattle & Roll Octo-Floss

Cat Dental Rattle & Roll Octo-FlossVery disappointed that my two cats (13 years) were not interested in this toy at all. I think the design is great and the concept of keeping their teeth cleaner / in better condition is top notch. May be I should become a cat and show my two a thing or two and improve their taste in toys?

Don't know how well it is helping his teeth, but seldom do I see my cat without the Octo-Floss in his mouth. It goes with him to other rooms, to sleep, and he has even given it a drink. He seems to have favorite legs to mouth, and one needs a bit of darning at its end, so perhaps that is my indicator that he is, indeed, getting the dental benefit as well.

(There is nothing quite so delightful as having your loving cat take a toy to his water bowl, soak it and then bring it to your bed.)

Perfecto Manufacturing APF33020 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 2.5-Gallon

Perfecto Manufacturing APF33020 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 2.5-GallonI couldn't see it on the web site but i trusted the dealer enough that it would work. It is great. My cat can't drink the Fish tank water any more. She can just stare at the fish

I bought the Marineland 2.5 Gallon Glass Aquarium from a pet store, and it originally came with the glass canopy. However, one day while cleaning the tank (I use it as a fish tank) I broke the glass top and had to tape it together. Well tape can only do so much... so I looked into finding a replacement that didn't require me to get a custom cut piece of glass. Lucky I found this item.

It is the perfect size for the 2.5 Gallon Marineland Aquarium (11.5'' x 5.5'')! Fit like a glove.

You can tell that it is cut by another manufacture because the edges are a little rough (my original glass canopy made by Marineland had smoother straighter edges), but I didn't find this to be a problem. The glass canopy still looks excellent. Certainly much better than a taped together one.

And as a plus it comes with a clear plastic handle (about 2'' x 0.75'' x 0.5'') that sticks to the glass. But beware, once you but the handle on it won't come off. It is pretty much permanent. I like the handle, though, because it makes it easier to lift the top to feed the fish and clean the tank. Not to mention it is clear so it blends in well, and isn't an eye soar.

Now, lets just hope I don't break this one too.

Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ounce

Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ouncethe product works fine. make sure the background is flat. mine wasnt, so i had to use clear tape for the edges. works great but, so does a cheaper bottle of mineral oil...

I had a background on my 55 gallon Which I stuck on with double sided tape. Where the tape ran, the background was pretty bright, the rest was so-so. I saw this and wondered if it would work to make the whole thing look like the parts where I had the tape. It does! The background is so bright now. It reflects light back into the tank, and makes the whole thing brighter. Amazing! My recommendations: Make sure your surface is clean (mine wasn't, so the bottom doesn't stick too well. Ideally make do it before you put your aquarium in place. Mine was 4 inches away from the wall, so it's impossible to get it perfect. Even still, this stuff is amazing!

This product works as its intended, however I was hoping for a better dispensing solution. I was attempting to apply it straight to the fish tank since my backing kept rolling up and prevented me from applying according to the directions. But overall, once applied liberally, it worked perfectly for adhering the background to the tank.

Read Best Reviews of Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ounce Here

You could use this goop or some sort of vaseline based solution for your aquarium background. It was a messy, messy job as I spread the solution evenly over the background. I must not have done that great of a job because my background started bubbling and I eventually took it off. Maybe it's a user error, not the product. I wouldn't buy this stuff again because it's super messy and now I'm stuck with trying to wipe if off the back of my aquarium, yuk.

I heard mineral oil works similar as this background solution. But I hoped this may work better, Everything was good at the beginning, but now after 6 month, about 15% of the area dried out and I have to apply the solution again.

EHEIM Classic External Canister Filter with Media

EHEIM Classic 250 External Canister Filter รข?? 2213OK, there just simply isn't a better filter on the market. With the intake on the bottom and the exhaust on the top, there is simply no place for water to bypass the media and hence the filtration is far more efficient. Some people complain that the filter is quite difficult to clean. However, the manual shows an easy way to do this. I have kept mine without cleaning for 3 months or and my heavily planted fresh water aquarium has been doing great. The media is reusable and reusable and reusable. Get my point? :-)

They are extremely efficient. A bit more expensive that the rest of canister filters out in the market. But in the long run, these are better since they last longer and the rarely break down.

Worried about the filtration on your aquarium??? Get one of these silent/efficient/reliable guys.

I have been using my Eheim 2213 for 19 years now, and have never had to replace any parts, until now. It is an incredible filter, that keeps everything in the tank clear and fresh. The only complaint I have has already been fixed. The double shutoff connections that they've added will make cleaning it so much easier. 19 years ago, they didn't have these, but I may buy some extras. I've heard that the only downfall for Eheim is ordering replacement parts. The only thing needing replacement is the suction cups that hold the parts in place inside of the tank. Everything else is wonderful!

I would definitely recommend this to others. Especially with a good price for a canister filter.

Buy EHEIM Classic External Canister Filter with Media Now

I bought my 2211-37 in late August 2010 and have it filtering a 16 gallon aquarium with one 5 inch goldfish (2 inches body, 3 inches tail). I'm guessing it can probably support 3 or 4 inches of goldfish not counting tail. (Goldfish are very messy, and a power filter on this tank cannot keep up.) The 2211 keeps up just fine--the water is crystal clear, and the ammonia and nitrite are zero. The pump is silent. It came with all the filter media, piping and quick disconnect couplers for both the intake and outflow--everything you need. My outflow coupler arrived cracked, and Fancy Pants Pets replaced it no charge. There is no internal canister to hold the media like in the 2213. The media sets directly in the can with a separator plate at the bottom to provide some space at the intake before the water flows through the bio media. The bio cylinders and bio balls are separated by the coarse filter pad. The fine filter pad and charcoal pad sit atop the bio balls, and a separator plate goes in on top to keep stuff out of the pump at the top. Cleaning is very easy and quick. There is no primer, so to prime the first time, you need to suck on the outflow. After that, you can prime the filter by leaving the intake filled with water at the coupling, opening the outflow coupler, then opening the intake coupler. The spray bar puts out quite a bit of flow (79 gph), I'd guess about 2/3 of what the 2213 does, so that's a lot of flow for a small tank like this, but not too much for my goldfish--she loves it. The pipes on the 2213 are both 12 mm, but on the 2211 the return pipe is only 9 mm while the intake is 12 mm. The height of the unit is 11.75 inches, but the return pipe climbs up a 1/4 inch higher, and you're going to want at least 12.5 inches to clear the unit. The canister is 4 inches across and a 5 inch square base is provided for the canister to rest in for added stability. This is an excellent filter for tanks 20 gallons and less (Eheim says up to 40 gallons, but if you've got goldfish in more than 20 gallons, you're going to want more filter). Max install height is 5 feet 10 inches. The 2211 is definitely worth the money over the hang on the back filters, which have much less bio filter capability and don't run silent like this one. The 2211 is also more suitable for small tanks than the 2213 is, which has a bit too much flow for under 20 gallons.

July 2011 UPDATE: I've had this filter on this tank for almost a year now. In that time I've had to clean it 4 times--it needs cleaning more often than the larger Eheim filters due to the smaller diameter. The good news is it's pretty easy to clean. (You know it needs cleaning when you see reduced outflow during a water change. I take care when cleaning my canister filters to keep the bio media submersed in tank water during the cleaning so as to keep the bacteria alive.) I have kept three different goldfish in the tank during the past year (one at a time). After the 5 inch veil tale above, a 6 inch fantail which kept his tank pretty clean for a goldfish, and more recently a 5 inch pearlscale which leaves more food and poop in the tank. The Eheim has kept the tank crystal clear and the water quality perfect all the time and given me no trouble. The 2211 is even quieter than when it was new, which is pretty close to silent. This is a great little filter for small tanks, and I'm very happy with it.

This is the best and only filter I will ever own for my tank. It is very cost effective. I used to run the Bio-wheel and or the Whisper type filters. I found those filters to not last long and would have to change filters every 2 weeks. With this filter, changes are at about 3 month intervals however, I still recommend you do your normal water changes. The filter is extremely quite and is easy to set up.

Want EHEIM Classic External Canister Filter with Media Discount?

The Eheim 2217 canister filter is a great workhorse. It provides mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration in a compact and nearly silent package. Like all external canister filters, it's best if you have an enclosed cabinet in your tank stand where it can be kept out of sight.

The instruction manual leaves a little to be desired. The illustrations are small and it's not always obvious which image goes which which instruction. However, once you sort out the various filter elements (coarse and fine filter pads, activated carbon pad, ceramic coarse mechanical filter material, and biological filter substrate) it's straightforward to get set up.

The filter comes with intake and outflow tubing as well as quick-disconnect valves for ease of cleaning. The filter stack must be mostly disassembled when replacing the filter pads, but it is neither complex nor overly time-consuming. The results speak for themselves: clear water, stable conditions, thriving fish. I'm very glad I bought the Eheim.

BiOrb 105L Aquarium with LED, Black

BiOrb 105L Aquarium with LED, BlackThe Biorb 105L (28 gallon) has ONLY 3 LED White Lights and 1 Blue LED Night Light.

IF this tank had even slightly adequate lighting for live plants then I'd probably rate it a 5. I intend to retrofit the lighting somehow and am unsure what is going to end up working.

Lighting ISSUES aside... I LOVE the way this tank looks having set it up with lots of drift wood and Java Moss (I really NEED to supplement the lighting soon for the live plants) I have set it up with a platy, 1 molly, 1 white cloud (5 more soon), 7 varied danios, a male betta, 5 bamboo shrimp, 11 glass shrimp and I intend to add some dwarf flame gouramis and maybe a few killifish after some research (because the Betta is related) on if they will work.

I have added copious amounts of cycled rocks & ornaments as well as cycling & balancing chemicals and continue to recheck the water for toxic buildup and do water changes ALL because I have over stocked this tank too soon. Hopefully with constant attention it will be fine.

LASTLY & IMPORTANTLY... Check the tank for imperfections BEFORE you set it up!!! I found some micro cracks & ripples after I set it up and am keeping an eye on them to make sure everything remains stable.

Basically & suggest that you do NOT jump in as fast as I have unless you have some depth of previous experience.

My reviews re never long, this aquRIUM LOOKS GREAT. tHE ONLY DRAW BACK IN MY OPIONION IS THE FILTRATION, i HAD TO PUT IN ANOTHER FILTER IN THE AQUARIUM TO HELP THE Original..Thats all sorry for the capitalization issue, I am not going back to fix..

Current Usa ACU01121 Nova Extreme 4-Lamp T5HO Fixture with 2 Fans, 36-Inch

Current Usa ACU01121 Nova Extreme 4-Lamp T5HO Fixture with 2 Fans, 36-InchI have the 48" version of these lights and they are great. T5 lights (5/8" in diameter) produce an amazing amount of lumens for their wattage (over T8 or T12). I like that you can control the full daylight lamps, the blue actinic lamps, the moonlights and the fan individually. The only downside to this light system is that the four T5 lights do not have individual parabolic reflectors like the Tek lights. But I still think these lights get 5 stars due to their price. If you need more light output (maybe you're setting up a reef aquarium), then go with the Tek system. I'm doing fish only and I took out two of the four bulbs because it was so bright.

These T5 high output (HO) bulbs also contain alot less mercury than other flourescent bulbs.

Otherwise bulb mounts are delicate and clear plexi cover handle requires care. I probably would have rather had the 6 bulb unit but I'd buy this again for the price. Metal case and seems solid other than what I mentioned.

Rated low because of the fam and the Leg that cracked and is now duct taped.

I had this unit for about a year and a half before one of the ballasts went bad. Contacted the manufacturer and was told the ballast was discontinued. They gave me a link to a replacement so I ordered it and when it arrived it was a totally different size with a different wiring configuration. So now I'm out 200 plus the 40 dollar ballast. I contacted them again after this and was brushed off. Terrible product and equally terrible customer support!!!!!

Cal Pump PW4500 Direct Drive 4500 GPH Waterfall Pump

Cal Pump PW4500 Direct Drive 4500 GPH Waterfall PumpBought one of these in July 2007 off the world's most famous auction site. Superb performance in often leafand debris-filled koi pond, even when only 3 inches under ice. Finally petering out, but I paid $138.99 (including shipping) so I feel I got my money's worth for sure!

This is the second one I've bought. The first one lasted 2+ years. This one lasted less than 2 months. Both failed due to water leaking into the motor and causing the CFI to trip. Time to find a more reliable replacement....

Tetra 26454 Heater 55 Submersible Heater, 200-Watt

Tetra 26454 Heater 55 Submersible Heater, 200-Wattok so I've had this heater for 6 months and one day i was about to feed my fish...and I always tap on the glass to get them to come to the top of the tank and I saw that some of them were at the bottom, some were just swimming in the corner, and the rest just didn't come to the top...so I was like "what is wrong with these fish"? so I put my hand on the glass and it was HOT!!!! I looked at my thermometer and saw that the temperature was 98 degrees!!!! I started freaking out...so I unplugged the heater...opened the lid and set a fan to blow on it...I got some plastic bags and filled them with ice and floated them on the top to bring down the temperature...I was doing everything I could think of...this was all at 1 a.m. in the morning btw...so I went to sleep worried about these fish...in the morning the temperature had gone down to normal...and I lost 2 fish...i was really upset...but then i realized i had to buy another heater because if I left it without one the fish would get too cold and die...so I had to go to the store and buy another the next day...anyway, the moral of the story is if you have the money to buy a better heater, please do...because if I hadn't have caught it early i would have lost every single fish...so just spend the extra 10 or 20 bucks...hope this review helps...

At first I didn't think this item worked, because I placed it in my 55 gallon tank horizontally as an option shown in the instructions. Heater never came on. After about 3-4 days, I decided I would try it vertically, like you would normally put a heater in an aquarium, and it has been working perfectly ever since. So, I would recommend this aquarium heater as long as you don't place it sideways in your aquarium.

Exotic Environments Incan Vase Aquarium Ornament, Small

Exotic Environments Incan Vase Aquarium Ornament, SmallI have this ornament in a 10 gallon freshwater tank. I prefer an ornament to a the focal point amongst plants and driftwood, but not overbearing. I would not personally recommend it for a smaller size tank, as I feel it would be a little too large. That being said, I'm very happy with it. I was looking for a South American theme, so this is perfect. Small fish have swim holes for play. I ran airline tubing into it, and have air bubbles gently rising from the center of the vase.

The ornament is beautiful. However, had strong chemical odor and fell apart in one month. I pulled it out of the aquarium by the handle and it fell off.

Lee's Ultimate GravelVac Cleaning Claw

Lee's Ultimate GravelVac Cleaning ClawI'm so glad they make these spare parts. After years of use the teeth were slowly breaking off of my old attachment, but the rest of my GravelVac was still in great condition. It is nice not to have to buy a whole new GravelVac (which is all I could find in local stores) just because one attachment has had too much wear and tear.

I ordered this piece to replace one that had come with my 25' water changer it somehow got lost and I sure didn't want to spend another $40 to replace the whole system. It's sturdy, fits the vacuum tube just right, and everything works properly. Thumbs up.

Buy Lee's Ultimate GravelVac Cleaning Claw Now

I've always used a nylon stocking to cover the intake of my Python brand gravel vacuum/water changer when I wasn't using it to vacuum and wanted to keep fish from getting sucked in while changing the water. The nylon is drippy after, and it doesn't look professional (I clean tanks.) While this Lee's Cleaning Claw doesn't keep small fry from getting in like the nylon stocking, it does keep regular fish from getting in and looks more professional. It also aerates the returning water a bit more when refilling the tank.

As a gravel cleaning attachment, I don't get good results with either a deep bed of Flourish or a thin bed of regular gravel, so I continue to use the tube uncovered. However, I could see that it would be a good implement for poking around the deep recesses of a heavily-planted aquarium to just get the mulm on the surface of the substrate without accidentally sucking up an unseen fish.

Hydor MULTI-LIGHT LED for Small Aquariums Green On/Off Switch UL

Hydor MULTI-LIGHT LED for Small Aquariums Green On/Off Switch ULUpon ordering this item, I was excited to see how well this light would perform! However...when I received it and pulled it out of the box, I was very disappointed!

Pros:

-Flexible & compact

-Has an on & off switch

Cons:

-Plastic type screw attachment to secure to tank edge is cheaply made

-It will not fit most small tank edges for which it is made for (I hung it over a cabinet handle above my tank)

-Only shines 4 small led lights in one area

-Item was not packed in packaging...it was loose in the box (poor shipment)

My suggestion to avid aquarium hobbyists...find a better lighting product for your small or sick tanks! Made in CHINA!

API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 1-Gallon

API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 1-GallonThis conditoner is the best ever. The aqarium remains clean and the fish thrive. I made the mistake of buying STRESS COAT+. Notice the +, this is because it includes an ammonia remover that through my aquarium off balance. I have mostly freshwater tetras and catfish. I found them gasping for air and soon developed small amounts of red algae. Keep in mind, I have maintained the aqaurium the same way with the same products for years. The ammonia remover must contain a phosphate that also removes the CO2 and oxygen from the water. This causes many fish to die and the red algae growth.

yes, it's an added expense, but stress coat is very nice to have on hand for anytime you have a less than perfect situation in your tank; adding new fish, setting up a new tank, cleaning the old one or maybe the water quality got a tad bit too dirty before you changed it, or maybe your fish got sick/ stress coat just helps to ease the stress on the fish. be nice to your fish, use tress coat.

Buy API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 1-Gallon Now

I've been using this product for both my pond fish and aquarium fish on a regular basis. Doing partial water changes seems to be less stressful for the fish when using this product. But then, of course, I'm not a fish, so I am just guessing.

At least, I've never had a problem with partial or complete water changes or topping off either the aquarium or the pond due to evaporation. It helps with their slime coat and after using it, I do water tests for ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, etc., and the chlorine always shows negative. I buy this stuff by the gallon as it's much cheaper that way.

It's also recommended for use after handling or netting the fish or for any stressful situations. So far, all of our fish are doing great and growing like weeds.

I plan to continue to use it.
