Eshopps RS-75 Reef Sump - Up to 75 gallons - 18 in. x 10 in. x 16 in.The eshopps sump is way over priced at retail or even most internet prices, but at 117.99 (with 19.99 for shipping)and the fact that it can fit into a 24 inch (60 gallon cube)stand while also having a big enough area for a larger skimmer makes it a good buy for smaller tank stands.

This was a great product and just as described. I received this item right own , time and it was used just as they described..

Como Aquascaping Artificial Green Plastic Pine Tree Decoration for Aquarium

Como Aquascaping Artificial Green Plastic Pine Tree Decoration for Aquariumplant floated too much, I had to keep ancoring it into the gravel, but the next day, it would be floating at trhe top again. I took it out, and made a fake bonsi looking arrangement somewhere else, not a good fish tank asscessory. this item receives a "F" rating.

no matter how I bury it the minute a fish bumps it, it floats to the top. not worth the trouble.

This is a well made and realistic looking tree when you put it in the water. I've given up silk because they look good for only a temporary amount of time and take more time to clean than they're worth. So I've gone to a mixture of real plants and some plastic. The well made plastic ones, such as this, match and tend to blend into the landscape of my aquariums well.

Pure Aquatic Wide Common Starfish Aquarium Ornament 4.5 in. x 6.5 in. x 1 in.

Pure Aquatic Wide Common Starfish Aquarium Ornament 4.5 in. x 6.5 in. x 1 in.The star isn't as yellow as shown in the photo. The one I received is green on the center with yellow only on the outer edges. Also one point of the star is not even half the length of the other 4 points. Having one a little shorter is fine, but it's so short it's looks lopsided and just plain odd. Not as nice as photo portrays it. I would NOT recommend this to anyone.

Mikro Omega Portable 3 Stage RO/DI Reef Aquarium Filter System with 75 GPD Membrane

Mikro Omega Portable 3 Stage RO/DI Reef Aquarium Filter System with 75 GPD MembraneUse this for my small hydro setup. Seller shipped fast the unit came with no instructions but it was setup already. Blue hose= clean water. Yellow = waste water Red = supply.

TDS Untreated tap water = 440

TDS RO treated= 0PPM.

This system works great, TDS meter showed 250ppm for my tap water, and 0 ppm after going through this filter. It doesn't get any better than 0 ppm so I am happy. The portability is great, I use a faucet adapter so I can use this near my aquarium. If you're looking for a portable system for your aquarium, this is it.

I'm so glad that I decided to buy this RO/DI unit. It does exactly what you want it to do, whether its filtering your water for drinking purposes or getting your TDS down to 0 for saltwater reef keeping. Plus this unit is portable which is another added bonus. Very fair price as well. I would highly recommend this product!

Im and avid fish and shrimp hobbyist. And for exotic shrimp they must have the cleanest water possible. This thing is small, easy to setup and no power required. It only has a hose connector, in the winter you shouldnt run your hose or risk freezing up your pipes. So simply got to the lowe's and buy a hose adapter for your faucet aerator. It costs like $4. The out put is slow but steady and in WA after the TDS reads about 110 or so out of the tap after it runs through the RO unit it is down to 5!!! I wish I got this sooner.

Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 10-Inch

Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 10-InchI bought the 10" light to replace my dual T5 fixture. The good price, small size, with a generous quantity of LED for the size all convinced me to try this brand and light. It was packed well and was VERY Bright, to my eye it was brighter than my Dual T5's. I was a little worried with them being 7000k, but it doesn't look more blue than I think it should. It has been on the tank for over a week(almost two) as of writing this review and I've seen no slowdown in new growth with my plants, the stem plants are actually starting to grow faster with this light. I would recommend the light and will be trying the Ray2 HO led fixture on my next tank. I will update in a couple months to let you know how the light works in the long term. For now it gets 5 stars.

Tank info: 15g column, Walstad setup, Co2 injection, fully planted, HOB filter, 10" Rayfuge light.

Great little aquarium light which i use on the refugium below. Small row of blue surrounded by white LEDs. The switches on each end turn on one set or the others. Only has a single plug so you can't setup it set on times to cycle through daw, day, evening lighting. I just use it opposite to the main tank lights. The light is strong enough and keeps my mangrove plants growing and happy. Definitely well worth the cost. Light, portable and durable. It fits perfect on my ProFlex Sump Model 1.

Only wish it has dual plug to cycle lighting.

I was looking for a LED alternative to modify my 28G Nano cube from a HID lamp to LED. I purchased two lights and these 10" lights fit the space available and are saving me a fortune in electricity now that I am using a few watts compared to 175w. Also the tank seems to be much clearer now that the light balance is different, corals are happy and the color of the fish is great. I am also looking forward to saving on the summers electric bill as I will not be running the chiller this year since these lights covert little to heat.

Zoo Med Coral Flora Sun Plant Growth Bulb T8 17 Watts, 24-Inch

Zoo Med Coral Flora Sun Plant Growth Bulb T8 17 Watts, 24-InchUnlike the more effective light bulbs sold for the more expensive light fixtures intended to promote lush growth for most types of aquatic plants, these bulbs are intended for use in the less expensive fluorescent lighting fixtures, the kinds that come with most aquarium kits. These are the standard black light fixtures that sit on the glass top and that require light bulbs that are 6" shorter than the actual length of the fixture on the outside. So, this 24" bulb fits a 30" light fixture (which in turn is intended for 20 gallon long; 29 gallon; 37 gallon tanks), and these T8 lights, although thinner than standard fluorescent tubes, have pins that fit in standard fluorescent fixtures.

Among the less expensive light systems, this Zoo Med T8 bulb is great. The tube is much more effective than the standard fluorescent tube. This is especially true as long as you select the correct plants (Java Moss, Anubias, Hornwort, Anacharis etc.) for less light (especially if you have a deeper tank). My plants chosen for low lighting are doing well with these bulbs, but when I tried to grow plants with greater light requirements under these Zoo Med tubes I found I had to transfer the plants back to their original, better lit tanks as they were not doing as well as before.

Not good for aquarium. I tried this for my planted 30 gallon tank, but it gave off poor color, dull looking fish and plants. Much happier to spend a few extra dollars on another brand.

This was a really good price, and was nice that it fit into the stock light on my tank. However, my plants really didn't like this light. They all died, and I am incredibly disappointed. I'm just going to use the regular florescent bulbs for now. Which made the tank look nicer in my opinion. This Zoo Med bulb brought out the red in the tank, which I didn't like. I prefer the cool colors, and the regular flourescent had more of a blue light effect as opposed to the red.

Tetra Gel Mix, 16-Count, 1.4-Ounce

Tetra 77262 Algae Gel Mix, 16-Count, 1.4-OunceI agree this product is gooey, and sinks to the botttom of the tank. However i have feed it to my betta fry approx. 1 month old fry andthey have doubled in size. Their color has really came out also. I challenge anyone to just try this food for any fry and see how it works.

The packets are gooey, sticky, and just sink to the bottom as a clump of mushed up worms. Expensive as well. I went to Petsmart and bought an entire can of dried bloodworms (intact!) which hydrate in the water and look real anyway, the fish love them. Even my freshwater puffer will grab them as they float by.

Two Little Fishies ATLPBR150 GFO PhosBan Reactor 150

Two Little Fishies ATLPBR150 GFO PhosBan Reactor 150I purchased two of these TLF reactors so that I could run them in series. I decided to run D-Nitrate in One and Activated Carbon in the other to try and bring the Nitrate/Nitrite numbers down in my 75 gallon ref. To early to tell yet whether these two have actually reduced my numbers, but there is no doubt that the water in the tank is now more crystal clear than before. Is it the carbon in the reactor along with less feeding that is clearing up the water cloumn, or is it just the fact that the Reef is now more mature than it was before this installation? Only time will tell how effective these are in reducing the Nitrate level in the reef. As for hooking them up in series, they do require some minor engineering and plumbing alterations, but if you are adpt at working with a refugium, and a somewhat sophisticated sump, this should be a piece of cake. I say should because I have a great plumbing supply house nearby, with a great salesman who will stop at nothing to keep the number of pieces in play to get this running at a minimum. If you only have a Lowes or Home Depot nearby, or a good hardware store, you can generally find the necessary items there to accomplish the task. I would have rated these a 5 "Star" item had I found the inclusion of the necessary plumbing parts included in the original packaging. As far as bang for the buck is concerned, these certainly meet that criteria and i would highly reccommend them to other mixed reef keepers looking to inexpensively add Phosphate or nitrate reactors to their systems.

This is a very useful product that helps me to bring the phosphate problem under control, finally. I use it on my 44 gal aquarium for a month now and it is still taking out all of the phosphate. However, it should be noticed that it will require some experience and skill level on getting this unit prepqred, particularly the initial backwash portion. I used a T connector to hook it up to a Maxijet 1200 pump and use a reducer on the outlet end of the T to create some back-pressure. This way I can use the same pump to provide both circulation (in the aqaurium) and enough flow to go through this Phosphate Reactor. I set this up in a sink and backwash the reactor with tap water (no PO4 in the tap here in Seattle) and ran it for at about 30 minutes to get rid of the fines as much as possible before I transfer it to the aquarium. Getting the right flow rate for an ideal fluidized bed could be tricky, but doable. I would not recommend using salt water from the tank for backwash and flow adjustment, wasting valuable salt.

Just like other reviews say, it does exactly what it says it does in a durable fahion. Evenly pass water through your phosphate media to get rid of of phosphates and ultimately control algae. Very happy with mine. NOt sure what they recommend but I use a maxi jet 400 pump for mine on my 90 gal tank so that water passes through it slowly.

Underwater Galleries AUG6311 Cichlid Stone Square, Small

Underwater Galleries AUG6311 Cichlid Stone Square, SmallThese are some nice hide-out for your cichlids. Not any of my cichlids have damaged their fins since i put these stones in my aquarium,

I bought one of these a few weeks ago for a 55gal tank where I inted to house community fish, including a couple of dwarf cichlids. This is for them. I liked it so much that I wish I had purchased two. Hence, I purchased this second one for my quarantine tank for the timid fish. I just set up the tank and waiting for it to cycle so I don't know how the fish are going to like it.

This looks and feels as if it was a real rock that I found on a walk. It arrived promptly as described. I recommend it as a part of your decor for the timid and cave-dwelling fish. It looks good in the tank, too.

I put two of these in my 15 gallon tank for my blue ram cichlids, they apparently don't give a rat's ass about them, since they never go in them. In fact, none of my fish do, but they do look neat next to this statue that is in the tank made of the same material. I'm keeping them in there just in case the cichlids change their minds and start using them. They are nicely made.

Acurel LLC Ammonia Reducing Media Pad Aquarium and Pond Filter Accessory, 10-Inch by 18-Inch

Acurel LLC Ammonia Reducing Media Pad Aquarium and Pond Filter Accessory, 10-Inch by 18-InchI cannot blame this on the product only the description. It states for fresh and salt water aquariums but when I received it surprise surprise it was for fresh water only. I have a fresh water planted tank so I'm not completely out of luck, ill give it a go in there and see what happens, but once again I'm giving it one star because of the false description not because of the product itself which looks capable.

I use to have such a headache dealing with the ammonia spikes in my tank, and this helps significantly! Best part is that you just need to throw it in your filter and not have to worry about it. Just change it with every tank change, or every month.

Read Best Reviews of Acurel LLC Ammonia Reducing Media Pad Aquarium and Pond Filter Accessory, 10-Inch by 18-Inch Here

I've been trimming Accurel Ammonia Reducing pads to fit my aquarium filter for a couple of months. Prior to this, I had a constant problem with creeping ammonia levels in the fish tank. I have a 5-1/2 gallon tank with two Cory catfish and four fancy guppies. Since I've added the Accurel to my filter, there hasn't been a problem with the water balance. The ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates remain at -0-. The pads themselves are very easy to handle. They cut easily, but are quite stiff which makes it very easy to insert them into the slots in my filter. I've tried to contact Accurel to find out how long these pads are effective, but I believe their customer service department is a myth. I've had no response, and there seems to be no way to have a direct chat. In the meantime, I change it out once a week just to be on the safe side. In spite of their customer support scoring a zero, their reasonably priced product is well worth 5 stars and I recommend it.

JW Pet Company 10-Inch Desktop Aquarium Algae Scrubber

JW Pet Company 10-Inch Desktop Aquarium Algae ScrubberI have a small 5 gallon acrylic aquarium and bought this because it was supposed to be safe for acrylic. It left fine scratches in my aquarium. The scratches are on the inside of the tank so now I'm stuck with them until one day I drain the tank to try and repair it (which is not going to happen anytime soon). Stay away from this.

This scrubber does just what it should. I am using to clean algae from a 5 gallon hex tank which is acrylic. Important to get ones that are intended for acrylic so you don't scratch the tank. This cleans without scratching. I generally do not have tank exposed to direct sun and so I haven't needed a product such as this before. I took a guess this would meet my needs and it really has.

This is a great product. Worked very well on my acrylic fish tank. You need to be careful and follow the instructions. The main reason you would end up with scratches on your tank is sand or gravel getting caught in the scrubber. So be careful when scrubbing the lower portion of your fish tank. I would surely recommend this product.

Malaysian Driftwood, Large

Malaysian Driftwood, LargeThe driftwood is large. Like others who have bought this item, the piece that I received was more beautiful than the one that is pictured. It is a new piece which will leak Tannis into the the water causing the water to turn a brownish color. Some people do not like this, however, it is a natural process and in many cases helps your fish, depending on where they come from. Some fish require a "Black Water" effect which Tannis does provide. It does cause the water to become a little acidic. Mostly, it depends on if your tank was balanced or not. (A truly balanced tank should be at a neutral pH due to acidic and alkaline processes balancing each other out. Example: Nitrification by bacteria causes the water lower in pH; while photosynthesis from plants and algae causes an increase in pH.)

Because it is a new piece of driftwood, you may experience a period in which matter begins to decompose and fungus will grow. Fungus is one of nature's cleaners. It may be unsightly for a little while. Again, this is a natural process that will take care of itself in time. If you don't like the fungus at all, get tank mate(s) that like to eat the stuff. I recommend adding a few guppies to your tank, feeder or fancy will do. Just be aware that they are live bearers and have a 28 day birthing cycle. The babies can lead to overstocking, however, if you do not wish to care for them, they will be quickly eaten up by your other fish.

All in all, I am very happy with this piece of driftwood.

**If you have a shorter tank like a 20 gallon long, be sure to email the seller and ask questions about dimensions. Otherwise you might end up with a piece of driftwood that is too tall for you tank.**

I received this item very quickly. It is about 18 inches long and 12 inches at its widest. The one I received does not look like the one in the picture. I prefer the one I got over the one in the picture. It is made from a very good quality piece of wood. It is dense and light brown in color with several holes and protruding edges. This piece of driftwood looks natural except for the part that was cut from the main piece. The cut offers and unique look into the dark, dense, and almost petrified interior of this piece. I took off one star because this was literally put into a box with no packaging, thankfully it is a very sturdy piece of wood.

I ordered this item knowing that the product I received would not be identical to the one in the picture. I absolutely love the piece I received! I soaked it in hot water for about an hour to remove some of the tannins and placed it in my tank during a water change. My tiger barbs and various loach species absolutely love dancing around the driftwood. They weave above and below the branches and seem so much happier with a more natural piece of aquarium decor.

The price is exceptional for the item received and I would recommend it to anyone!

Aqua- Tech #1 EZ-Change Cartridge 3 pack replacement filter cartridges for AQUA-Tech 5-15 POWER FIL

Aqua- Tech #1 EZ-Change Cartridge 3 pack replacement filter cartridges for AQUA-Tech 5-15 POWER FILTERSJust wanted to let other fish people know, this filter is the same size & shape as the Marineland Mini Penguin Cartridge.

My 10 gallon has a Marineland filter. I found a box of Aqua Tech filters at my local pet shop on sale for $2 and noticed that they look exactly the same as my Penguin Rite Size A filters. They work perfectly. So I figured I would look up the Aqua-Tech brand on Amazon since they usually have better prices than the stores. Turns out, the Aqua Tech brand seems to be more expensive than Marineland. As of this post, Marineland's Mini Penguin cartridges are sold on Amazon in a box of 6 filters for about $10 and qualifies for Super Saver Shipping. Which compared to $12 plus shipping for 3 cartridges is a pretty good deal.

I like to save money where I can and hopefully this bit of info helps someone else save money too.

These work wonderful in our little 5 gallon tank. We have 2 fish named Sushi and Freckles. They are pretty dirty boys so this this actually keeps up with them.

SF1 Submersible Flat Box Filter

SF1 Submersible Flat Box FilterI'm giving this product 5 stars for one reason and one reason only, to make up for the people who can't be bother to read the actual product descriptions before they make purchases and then give the products one star. I figure that if I give it 5, the it will average off to 3 stars to offset their ignorance. If the actual product description is read, nowhere does it state that a pump is included. The description lists what is included, and adapters for various pumps are listed, it even tells you what gph pumps to use it with but it never states that a pump is included. Yes, a few of the pictures show a pump, illustrating how the filter should be plumbed together, yet these same illustrations show rocks, grass, a pond and trees and I wouldn't expect any of that to be included, so why would I expect anything else that the product description specifically does not state is included to be included? I wouldn't, but then again I am moderately intelligent (or at least not completely stupid), so I read descriptions, and if I'm not sure about a product, I may even google it and read manufacturers descriptions, other sellers descriptions and other websites reviews before I make a purchase. I've been know to visit a local store that carries the product to actually look at it up close before making a purchase. I think it's called being an "informed consumer". There is no excuse for giving a product a low rating for not including something if you are too lazy to actually read the description of that product to see if it is included.

The product is actually about a three star item. It is reasonably well made, but all plastic can break if care is not taken, and when removing the cover to clean the filter, care needs to be taken or the tabs can break. As for the reviews complaining about the foam filter deteriorating too fast, don't try to wash it out by putting your hose sprayer at full strength and it will last much longer, simply take reasonable care when washing it out and it will last a long time, the more gently you treat the foam the longer it will last. If however you handle it roughly, it won't be long before the foam needs replacement and the plastic tabs are broken.

It is a decent product, not a great one. I'd give it four stars normally, since it is a good product that does what it claims to quite well when reasonable care is taken cleaning it.

I'm sorry about the rant, I let the one star reviewer get under my skin, I'm just sick of seeing products slammed because of ignorant and lazy people.

I was looking for something to remove all of the sediment from my small pond and would attach to my pump. I had been using a home-made filter made from a small bucket filled with lava rock; very difficult to clean. The SF1 kit installed in minutes and is very easy to clean. Now I can see to bottm of the pond and the fish seem happier, lol.

I bought this product as it gift for my husband for his fish pond, he was most excited. He set it up, and after a few days u saw how the water was getting cleaner, and the filter was pulling all the moss, little flies or mosquitoes from it. Once you wash out the filter regularly it will work perfect.

First off This filter wants to float a little I put a rock in mine under the foam insert this fixed the issue. You can probably use gravel or a rock on top or Partially bury it under rocks or wedge it under or agents something. Other than that I own one of these box filters in my pond works great the foam insert is easy to clean off with a hose. This is just the filter not the pump altho i have a tetra pump that works in great cobonation with the filter.
