Marina Net Trap, Fine Mesh
Buy Marina Net Trap, Fine Mesh Now
This net does what it is supposed to do, and once it's set into place, it is alright. But setting it up is a little painful. You insert the plastic sides, then pull the net tight and tie the string around the top. To secure it to the side of the tank, you use metal arms and bend them over the side. During this whole process those plastic sides you inserted are falling out of their hole (they do not click into place). But to look on the bright side... it works, it will fold flat when I'm finished with it.Read Best Reviews of Marina Net Trap, Fine Mesh Here
This worked great for a 5 inch fish that was injured by getting stuck in a sunken ship. The product is easy to assemble and clean. Great price too! Shipped on time with no issues.peni would recommend this to other customers, because i assembeled in less than 1 minute (LITERALLY) and it looks pretty good, except i was a little scared of the plastic rods breaking while assembling, but no it didn't so i am pretty glad with my purchase, i bought mine at a local pet store and it costed me about $6 a little more expensive than amazon, but i'd rather pay 50cents than wait 5-8 days for it to be shipped, i haven't used it yet, but i've already assembled it, the only bad thing about this item is that is has 2 metal hooks that you can easily bend to hook over your fish tank, not suction cups , so if you have a closed top fish tank like i do it won't close dow perfectly but oh well, not a big deal at all, a pretty good size no super big, and not super small, just right for my new baby guppy fry!!! have about 50 of them!!! the net also feels really soft, hope it stays that way for a long time!!

Life-Glo Ii Fluorescent Bulb T5
Buy Life-Glo Ii Fluorescent Bulb T5 Now
If you do order these, order extras because, I can guarantee, that you will receive a broken one. Of the 8 I ordered, only half were usable. 3 arrived broken in half and 2 others made an odd rattling sound when tilted side to side. Luckily, Amazon returns was very easy but still, took forever to get 4 functioning bulbs.These look great on my aquarium, they last a descent amount of time and the plants in my aquarium seem to grow well in them.This light bulb is designed for aquariums, however it is the same size as the overhead light in my credenza hutch at work. This size is hard to find and expensive. This is the best value anywhere and it arrived quickly and undamaged.Monday, September 8, 2014

Looks great. I found that it was very well made (I didn't have issues with stems breaking off as the other reviewer did). It was a lot taller than I expected, would do great in a tall tank. I trimmed it down a bit for my 20 gallon and it looked awesome. :)Read Best Reviews of Como 18 Inch Purple Plastic Fish Tank Plant Aquarium Grass Decor Ornament Here
Looks great, very tall. Only problem is that a few strands broke off from the base fairly quickly after putting it in the tank. Each time I have pulled it out for cleaning, a long strand has detached from the base. I glued them back in with some aquarium safe glue. Do yourself a favor if you have to have this and buy a tube of aquarium glue for repairs.Want Como 18 Inch Purple Plastic Fish Tank Plant Aquarium Grass Decor Ornament Discount?

Laguna PowerFlo Pro Biospheres Filter Media, 300-Pack
The manufacturing process seems good and all of the balls appear to be properly shaped; I didn't find any deformed, misshapen, or broken spheres yet. As for performance, that's really up to how you install them. For the nitrification bacteria to work, the microbes need oxygen and a supply of dirty aquarium water. If everything is working correctly this reaction will happen in the filter: ammonia ==> nitrite ==> nitrate ==> nitrogen. During use, these balls need to be rinsed off every now-and-again, just be sure to wash them in old aquarium water (not in city tap water because the chlorine will kill all the friendly bacteria).
I say 5 stars out of 5 because the price is about average and the quality is good.Not a remedie. This is the cure for pond algae and unwanted chemicals. I have had my 2500 gallon pond for 3 years. I have the top of the line filter with ultra violet light filters and the works. I even have an activated carbon chamber. I will tell you, all of them combined, could not do what these biospheres did. Do yourself a favor and put an end to your misery. This is it.

I have two dogs one is 45 pounds and the other is 30 pounds this toy isn't for dogs this size. my dogs do not typically rip apart toys but this one is so flimsy that it was trash in 30 mins.I would say if you have a toy breed or a tea cup breed this toy would be for you but if you have a 20 pound dog or more buy something else.

It definitely is high visibility. But we used it a couple days and it's already coming apart. My dog isn't a chewer, but he does shake-to-kill his toys! Not sure it will last more than a couple more river outings.Saturday, April 5, 2014
Aquaclear Foam Inserts, 3-Pack
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!Read Best Reviews of Aquaclear Foam Inserts, 3-Pack Here
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.
UPDATED 10/4/2012
I have 3 Aquaclear 70 filters and I have gone through about 3 boxes not even in one year. The replacements continue to fall apart just after 2 months. The last time I bought was the worst quality yet. I'll be looking into something else for now.
*The original foam that came with the filter is still excellent and still using it, it's just the replacements that are crap*it is a rly good product and the filter is the best in my experience. they last long but i use 2 and the bio bag.

Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-Gallon
I could not find her. I finally found her in the filter.
I have now learned through reading other web sites; it's best to put pantyhose or cheesecloth over a part of the filter, (use common sense on watching how it does filter so the filter will still do it's job) to protect your frog from becoming stuck.
My girl was saved.
The filter does work, just be careful and aware if missing an aquarium baby. I just received the item from yesterday. It comes with a 10 gallon glass aquarium, whisper power filter 10,biobag filter catridge, fluorescent bulb, and also a small sample of AquaSafe and TetraMin food flake from Tetra. These are reasons why you should have this aquarium to start with:
1)The 10 gallon deluxe kit is all complete set to start with. I opened up the box, unpacked everything, read the manual for minutes and poof, my aquarium is all-ready! The filter is smooth, quiet and works efficiently.
2)The fluorescent light is all enough to lighten every angle of your aquarium. It can also gives some heats to your aquarium and really looks shining and bright during the nights.
3)After running it for a day, I add the gravels, live plants, Tetra AquaSafe to treat the tap water, also i bought a bacteria supplement from pet store to introduce the tank with useful bacterias.
4)After finishing step 4, I went to PetSmart and bought 4 guppies. I put them all in the aquarium and they swim in it happily. The temperature is already around 68-74F, without using heater. So, the fish are happy.
Conclusions, this Tetra 10 Deluxe kit is awesome! Buy it for your kids or yourself for full satisfaction!

To start off, I'd like to say that this filter doesn't do a bad job with actually filtering the water. In fact, for a month, without water changes, it kept the water crystal clear in my 10 gallon tank. However, when I finally cleaned the tank after a month, I discovered an insane amount of debris in the gravel and had to do a full water change, which was okay only because I use that tank for a betta. It is possible that I just had bad gravel in there at the time and no filter actually sucks out of the gravel, but I feel as though so much debris shouldn't have accumulated at the bottom.That being said, there are other filters that can do the same while not being problematic in the following areas like this filter is:
1) The suction cups on this filter are terrible. In addition to that, its design is horrible. Basically there's no way of raising the lip of this filter high enough to keep your water level all the way to the rim of the tank. And the suction cups can't seem to properly support the weight of this filter, so it will often fall off.
2) It looks ugly and consumes a lot of space in the tank. The reason I'm taking appearance into account is because the whole purpose of having an aquarium is so that it looks nice. When you place a large bulky object into it, it won't look aesthetically pleasing at all.
3) After only a few months, I began to notice that it keeps alternating between being quiet and loud. So for some time you will hear nothing and then suddenly you start to hear this loud humming noise. Then, after five minutes of making this obnoxious noise it will quiet down again. This is probably my biggest problem with the filter.
My suggestion is to buy the Aquaclear 20 for 10 gallon tanks. It is a much more complex filter and it hangs over the side. The motor is quiet and the intake tube doesn't create the strong current that this filter creates as its sucking water in. It costs a few dollars more, but is totally worth it.

I'm not a pro fish person. I bought a 5 gallon tank for my daughter's betta when she wanted to get it a 'girlfriend'. The filter that came with the tank was crap. But I'm not wanting to spend a load on 5 dollars of fish. This filter is great! Silent. Powerful. Tank was spotless in 30 minutes. Fish are happy, I'm happy, wallet's happy!Want Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-Gallon Discount?
Must say I've read some of the other reviews and have been confounded. I have a *baby* Betta in a 5 gallon tank right now and there is no possible way the 10i filtercould "suck him in" ???
Anyway, I already burned through an Aqueon 4 gallon tank, which looked nice on the box but was a total mess, so had to start over with a 5 gallon plain tank and this
filter. IMHO this filter is excellent. Correct draw (unlike the Aqueon which required the flow to "kick up" waste from the bottom and raise it to the surface which is
ineffective and really annoyed the fish) Filter is quiet, effective, not too big and flow doesn't disturb even a small Betta. It also cleaned up a slight fungus problem
from the moment I turned it on.
Highly recommend.

Danner 02527 Pondmaster 700 gph Pump
It came with a basket that keeps a lot of the solid material out of the pump, but at the same time it doesn't have any problem pumping the fish waste or algae buildup. I have been running it for 2 and a half months and have not had to clean it out once. It has a standard 3/4 in pvc outlet so I was able to use pvc piping bought at the big box store.

Put the pump (brand new out of the box) in a refilled/clean pond with everything perfectly clean. Worked for about an hour before it started stuttering. Sounded like air or something was caught in the impeller, but its perfectly clean, the pump is submerged completely. Pulled off the impeller to see if anything was caught, but it was perfectly clean. The Danner Mfg website is of no help. Also for the 1 hour or so it did work, the output was much less than expected (barely more than my 300gph we were replacing). All in all I'm quite disappointed.Read Best Reviews of Danner 02527 Pondmaster 700 gph Pump Here
I've been purchasing pumps for my pond for many years until I found this one! It was a hassle to constantly readjust pump settings with every new pump I had purchased as these pumps don't last forever and manufactures don't use the same inlet diameters or tubes. But now the ONLY thing I've had to replace is the impeller which is why pumps end up failing in the first place, and other pumps you cannot replace this part alone. So I've purchased a few spare impellers,and they are very easy and cheaper to replace. I keep the same pump setting and I've only had to replace the impeller once thus far in the 2 years I've had this pump. And I think it was my fault. I could've extended the life of it had I kept the filters clean.I've read some reviews that the prefilter melts, deforms or looses it's shape. Yes, it does! But this does not justify lowering the rating of this pump. Mine lost its shape, but functions just fine. Who cares! It's under water!!
The key issue you need to keep in mind is that this pump might be a bit more expensive, BUT you can replace parts!! I've done my math and I can asure you that you end up saving money and time in the long run.
If you have had a pond for many years like I have, you know that somehow these pumps break down at the most inconvenient time. Then you can't find the same pump because manufactures change models constantly. Then the pump doesn't fit right, you now need a different diameter tubing, or the GPH somehow is not the same... forget it! Buy this one... and don't forget to always keep an Impeller replacement handy!!This replaced the same pump I had on my turtle pond for the past three years. It is a real great workhorse and they have upgraded the warranty on the pump from 3 to 5 years. It really pushes the water and the pond is crystal clear. I just wish it came with a better pre-filter. Thank goodness I saved the one from another pump that I had and I use it. Turtles can really clog up a filter fast. Just make sure you clean the filter regularly. That is what happened to my old one. The filter was dirty and clogged the pump and the impeller carved grooves in the pump. I highly recommend this pump or all the others from this company to anyone.
