HQRP Blue + White Aquarium Reef Corals Grow LED Light Panel 13.8W 150 White + 70 Blue LED 7000K / 4

HQRP Blue + White Aquarium Reef Corals Grow LED Light Panel 13.8W 150 White + 70 Blue LED 7000K / 460 nm + UV TesterI am very pleased with this product. You cannot find a light like this for the price. My corals love the bright light. I hung it above my tank from a hook that only took a few minutes to install.

Thanks!

The unit is very cheapily made. After only about 1 month of use many of the LEDS went out. The LEDs used are way to weak to "grow" corals as the seller claims. I would avoid this product.

I would never try this on my reef tank as there is no way it's powerful enough to supplement the light needed for coral growth. I used it on my freshwater tank for a while with no splash and one line of blue went out. The plants seem to like it but it looks more blue than white which is also a bummer.

from some 1 that knows

for 14 watts this thing is great using it on a saltwater tank i would give it a 9 out of 10

the only bad thing is that i think it could be a bit more water tight keep in mind that im using it on a aquarium and not as a plant lite

i used in the past

LEDwholesalers High Power WHITE + BLUE LED Aquarium Reef corals grow light. 250 watt not as bright but very close and its 14watt

and no loud fan

and

1 Full Spectrum Light Bulb ALZO 85 watt CFL 5500K daylight balanced pure white light 4250 Lumens for power ..In a 5 gal bucket

for a tot of 113 watts i was using well over 1200 watts and now so far this is much better

i have this on a refugium running 8 hrs a day, they are low output LED's so don't expect it to blind you or bleach coral. my only complaint is the one they sent me is 50/50 blue to white. i'd put the color spectrum around 16k

Como Purple White Underwater Plastic Grass Plants Decor for Fish Tank

Como Purple White Underwater Plastic Grass Plants Decor for Fish TankIt's not at all natural looking, but since I have 3 tanks, they each have a different theme. This decoration went into my Spongebob themed tank with my baby mollies. It adds a nice pop of color that is very characteristic of spongebob. I think it looks nice in my "fun" tank, but I definitely would not have put it in my natural tank.

Aquarium Led Bubble Wand

Marineland Ml90488 LED Bubble Curtain, Blue, 6 LED, 8-1/2 by 1-1/8-InchThis LED bubble wand is smaller in length than the one that is being replaced. But it looks fantastic, and hasn't been dismantled yet by my turtles who like to ninja everything I put in there. One thing to note for people who aren't aware, you will need your own air jet and hose which is not provided, all it comes with is the wand and AC adapter. Still, great product that really looks good.

i got this wand for my 10g aquarium because one of my fish is a black ghost knife fish, and is nocturnal. the actual description from the original sellers is that the blue was "moonlight blue." sounds perfect for a nocturnal fish. the lights however, ended up being a lil too bright. but he seems okay with it so far. hasn't caused stress to the point of ick yet either. main point is, these lights are pretty bright and shoot light everywhere, not just one direction. so if you're looking for something for a 20g+ tank, this is perfect. bubbles are awesome by the way.

I love these. They are awesome in the tank. My fish love them and so do I. At night time they make my tank look like a beautiful underwater sea of magic. My mom has one now too she loves it.

Or rather they fail too. Installation was a breeze and it really makes the tank look great, unfortunately the suckers on the base do not hold for more than a couple days. Even with razor-blading the glass bottom (I have this mounted at the bottom of my tank facing upwards) and cleaning the bottom of the suckers it just doesn't hold.

This is likely due to the added buoyancy from the air in the tubing but I wish they had used larger suckers to ensure the wand stays put over time. I'll likely replace the suckers or rig up some weight on the wand itself to keep it in place.

But for the money it is VERY difficult to beat.

I use this as a lunar light, keeps my tank a little brighter during hours when the main lights aren't on, and overall is pretty cool. I've read some reviews of it not working well as an airstone but my tank has a biowheel on it and I'm not using it for aeration. looks cool for the price. I have it suctioned to the bottom of my glass top pointing down.

Hagen Marina 10-Inch Fine Nylon Net with 14-Inch Handle, Blue

Hagen Marina 10-Inch Fine Nylon Net with 14-Inch Handle, BlueThe net opening is aprox. 10 X 6.25 inches. Looking at the diagonal it is just about a foot. It has a relatively strong handle it could be a bit beefier because the netting is a very fine mesh . I am working with pond fish so I could use the mesh about half as fine but in the average aquarium, it should be good. Overall, this is a very good net for aquarium use, at a great price.

It's a good net, although a bit flimsy due to the size and the fact that it pushes a lot of water, being a ten inch net with a 14 inch handle.

Buy Hagen Marina 10-Inch Fine Nylon Net with 14-Inch Handle, Blue Now

Excellent net and the best I've had for cleaning/skimming my hot tub. I've had several other nets over the years but the net mesh was always too large for small particles. This net allows you to get just about everything, but because the mesh is so small you have to skim it through the water at a much slower speed, but it also catches more. Overall I'd give this 5 star rating for a net to clean/skim a hot tub!

Lee`s Aquarium Betta Hex Dual

Lee`s Aquarium Betta Hex DualJust because a Betta can survive in small conditions because in their natural environment during the drought season doesn't mean that we should keep them in those conditions. Many Bettas don't survive these rough conditions that nature provides in their home territory. If you buy small cups and throw a fish in themyou are just condemning them to solitary confinement in a prison cell. My Betta is in a 10 gallon tank and you wouldn't believe the fun he has exercising and playing in all that space. If you careyou would never subject this beautiful creature to cups of water if you saw them in gallons of HEATED (they are tropical fish) water!!!!!! Study this fish and you will understand that we take for granted their survival mechanisms and exploit them for our own foolish pleasure.

Too small. Bettas need at least a gallon size tank.

I would never force a betta to live in that small of a tank, let alone two.

Buy Lee`s Aquarium Betta Hex Dual Now

note before my review: Yea ok, so everyone QQing over this needs to just think about it from a breeders standpoint...I jar my bettas in quart mason jars. The males anyways. I do not see how this is any different. The ONLY downside and I mean ONLY, is that the divider is not a solid color, preventing the males from seeing each other. Is this meant for keeping a betta forever and ever as a HOME? No...But as a breeding standpoint, it is fine. If you are stupid enough to think a breeder would have a gallon-per-male, you are wrong. It is more cost and space efficient for mason jars, beanie baby boxes, or these small acrylic breeders.

So.........if you dont like it because it is "cruel", dont write a review. Reviews are only helpful if you point out flaws in construction, pricing, etc. Your opinion means jack from a consumer standpoint.

I rate this product a 4, and that is because the divider is NOT a solid color. Bi-weekly water changes are suggested and this setup is NOT suggested for long-term use.

Aqueon 09787 Cypress Aquarium Plant, 9-Inch

Aqueon 09787 Cypress Aquarium Plant, 9-InchI love this product. Since i have a turtle i do not have rocks in my tank. This is weighted perfect so even if he hits it, it stands right back up. The plant its self is a little more purple then pictured but it adds alot more color to my tank so for sure a plus to that. Could not be happier. Amazon did a wonderful job with shipment was here sooner then expected.

i purchased this product for my beta's tank. & he loved hiding in the foliage. but, unfortunately it cut it's tail & other fins to shreads. i had to remove it.

API High Range pH Test Kit for Aquariums

API High Range pH Test Kit for AquariumsBought to use for my African cichlid tank since cichlids require high pH (8.0-8.5). Other pH tests top out at 7.8 or so, so African keepers need one that handles the higher pH. Works fast and easy to read. Just what I needed.

I am extremely satisfied with the item it cost more in the pet store and is a little hard to find at times

Petco Black Lagoon Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs.

Petco Black Lagoon Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs.the package didnt just come but it came 2 days after i ordered it! good delivery good quality product. i definitly reccomand this product to anyone looking for gravel for their fish tank.

Instead of the Black Lagoon rocks pictured I received rocks with pink and yellow and exactly the kinds of bright colors I was trying to avoid. Emailed Petco thru Amazon and 5 or 6 days later still have not heard back. Either someone in the warehouse wasn't paying attention or Petco is subbing one kind of rock for another without bothering to notify ahead of time. Poor service from top to bottom.

TOM Aquarium Overflow Box with Auto Start and Stop, Hosing incl.

TOM Aquarium Overflow Box with Auto Start and Stop, Hosing incl.I just got this. I did not know that this is not a stand alone unit. It is suppose to be attached to a sump unit that has a pump made to match this. So I have a refugium and a pump but was looking for an "awesome" overflow box. I was misinformed. I don't know if it was me or the way the product was discribed. I see how the "auto start and stop" would have worked if it was attached to the sump pump and tightened with a hose clamp but without the other unit (which cost like $250+), I don't have an overflow box with all the bells and whistles. Hope my information helps others like me. If you are a aquarium guru who knew better than me, than this is my mistake.

UpdateOkay. This unit sucks. Now that I took it apart to see how it works, I can clearly say it could have been made better. Save your money. This unit is made with weak plastic (yes, I considered that many aquatic products are made weak and costs a lot but this is weaker). For $100, it should be stronger, designed better and easy to take apart. I did not break mine but even the instruction book warns about breaking it while taking it apart to clean it. Then I realized two of the parts are very hard to remove. I gave this unit a good try and was disappointed.

Let me say this, if your tank isnt drilled and you want something that does the trick in both a compact and quiet way this is your overflow box. I had the Eshopps PF300 and couldnt deal with the noise, even when I used the modification tips. That thing made all sorts of noises and it was a real pain to get working. This thing is awesome, you simply plumb it (mine wasnt shipped with hoses but i had my own so didnt complain or request them), pour a little water in the resevoir and start your pump. Power goes out no problem, i tested it a bunch of times to be sure it would start back up. Compact no question in and out in the same box cant be beat. Adjustable outlet could be a little better but you are supposed to have powerheads in a reef or saltwater set up so this isnt even an issue worth complaining about. Very adjustable when it comes to water level, I can drop my tank almost 2 inches or I can raise it to the brim, each adjustment can be fine tuned easily. Each click up or down takes about 20-30 seconds to see the change in water level.

Ive been in the fish hobby for nearly 40 years. Ive have probably 5 or 6 different types of overflow boxes through the years and this one just works great. Very easy to set up and to use. And it's self priming! Been using for about 3 months now. If it holds up it will be a best buy!

Start Right Water Treatment (Liquid)

Jungle NL064-16W Start Right Complete Water Conditioner Liquid, 16.00-Ounce, 473-mlUse this for our pond and our aquarium. Very good product for a reasonable price. Highly recommended for either use

Have to use more than recommended and use daily however this is the first product that keeps my turtle/fish aquarium clean & clear. I have a 20 gallon aquarium and a filter system for a 60 gallon tank which turtles need. My son left for college: altho I don't want a turtle she has such a cute personality I can't give her away. I did learn you do not feed a turtle in the tank, she must be feed in a separate bowl so that helps also. Bottom line: my 3 gold fish, mud sucker and Refiva are all happy campers. One of my sons has 3 fish aquariums and he uses this as directed and has crystal clear water.

I have ordered this food before and my fish love it. It sinks quickly so you do not just throw it in and walk away. You feed them small amounts and let them eat it up before putting in more, otherwise it will sink and get down into your rock. It was shipped super fast.

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Tropical Water Background

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Tropical Water Background, Silver FrameFirst, I would like to say that if you are considering buying this product, you should read this. I was very mislead by the youtube videos, and all the product reviews on this product. I have had this product for over 6 months. Let me explain to you, my story.

1. Purchased Product, Received Product fairly quick. Missing Mint Cloth, Screws & Hardware, also the entire lightning balast system /including bulb.

No problem? Just exchange it right? Wrong. 2nd Product Received with the same accessories missing plus a plastic part on the aquiarum cover/lid was broke off. And instead of the aquarium saying Aquavista (under where the frame goes, it said "china" embedded in the plastic.)

Hmm.. I think to myself.. This can't happen a third time can it? Why, Yes it can! It came from china. Same missing accessories: Screws & Hardware, cloth, lightning ballast system + bulb. Wow, Right off the bat someone would rate this a 1 star.. Not me, I'm willing to give it a shot!

I call Amazon, they told me to contact Aquavista. Aquavista Customer Service Support was very nice, they sent me Lightning Ballast + bulb that i had to install / + free filters.

After setting up this aquarium, i had bought my own pebbles / Rocks. ( this will become a nightmare as small rocks will fall in the filteration area and become stuck). I followed the manual, waited to put fish in tank.

I have had a horrible time with this tank, I have to clean this tank at least once every week otherwise the tank becomes filthy and fish start dying. I have had horrible, horrible experiences with this tank. Here's one to mention. One morning, GloTetra Disappeared. Hmm.. Where he go? Called aquavista. They told me to check behind the aquarium background. (was really fun trying to take this off after setting aquarium up.) Long story short, in the bottom right side of tank, theres a small hole (between black filter cover and background in corner of tank) where little fishies can get through. SO, Mr. Fish was stuck behind the tank. Long story short, becasue i had to bend background alittle to get fish on other side, small rocks fell between the plastic and background to where the picture would not fit the way it should. Had to take the entire tank apart, fake aquarium plants, small ship, fish, rocks.. everything. This was truely a nightmare. This didn't happen once, but three times. Once with a albino frog (didn't have to take the tank apart because he was easier to get) and also a neon tetra who is decaying in the bottom of the tank under the black filter. Oh yes, this causes disease and all fish will die, Except my Pleco + Frog. I have bought a water testing kit before all of this happened, and the ammoneia levels were extremely high. (50-100% water changes + cleaning of all objects/rocks) per week. To top things off? If you accidently overfill the aquarium with water (there is a meter) water will drip on your floor. But one time dripped on the right side instead of the left side. This caused the LCD touchpad + Screen to short out. Aquavista customer server was extremely nice, and sent me another one for me to replace. I paid $ 140 160 for this product and felt that I extremely over paid for cheap china plastic and poor quality. Poor Filtration in a 5.5 Gal = Death to all fish (cept pleco+frog or other high immune system species)

I would not have gotten this product if I would have known all of this could happen. It's truely a beautiful tank when it is lit up and turned on. Then the beautiful moment is ruined by fish who sink to the bottom of your tank lifeless and dead. Go to your local pet store to buy an aquarium worth spending this much money on.

Looks really nice, It's definitely the vocal point of the room. The only draw back is that it's a little noisy when the filter is running.
