"Came exactly as shown!"

If you look inside the box you'll see dust and stray granules. I must've measured correctly because it fits great! I haven't tried looking for alternative brands. We like to name our new fish every month. Excellent product, you simply can't beat the price and shipping was bullet fast. This tool has made maintenance so much more easy and efficient. I swim 5x week and usually my suits last about 2 months.

COODIA Final Thoughts

"I like it."

I have never had one tear or fall apart under any circumstances. Exactly the same item I purchased from a local store for alot more money! Yes I know, they aren't supposed to live that long and no I can't prove it. These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly. Still, mine came in 1 piece and in working order so I'm satisfied. I have several similar products this one is my favorite. No observable signs of stress in the fish.

"Strong fish food smell."

I have used marine land bio-wheel pump and filters for the past 20 yrs. This water conditioner is a life saver! Overall, these are easy to use filters& seem to do a good job. We like to name our new fish every month. If you look inside the box you'll see dust and stray granules. Beats the heck out of those expensive suit cleaners. Initially this was used as a sample packet came with our aquarium.

API 93B First Impressions

"They do the job well!"

This piping and some electrical tape made it quiet again. So, lots of snipping and fitting on various stems. I swim 5x week and usually my suits last about 2 months. The filters are expensive to replace and only so-so quality. The ridges interfere with moving the hose around in the tank. Always needing to wash it out, with only 1 small catfish in the tank right now. Then I can walk away and come and move it to the next pocket or re-position it.

API 93B Final Thoughts

"That said."

It's been three months and the water has remained clear and my fish healthy. No observable signs of stress in the fish. I even poured in extra to help with the healing. I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. This piping and some electrical tape made it quiet again. I've been using these filters in my aquarium for years. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank.

"I LOVE these little fish."

API Stress Coat is a phenomenal product. I haven't tried looking for alternative brands. I've used it for years with great results. Easy to use and a great price here at Amazon! Got here on time, perfect packaging, rinsed easy and fit in my filters perfectly! It didn't kill the fish or cause any problems with the water so I stuck with it. Another plus has been that it is scratching an itch we had for getting real fish.

API 172306 Final Thoughts

"I am new to the hobby."

Now our fish have grown and we've added live plants. Couldn't find this at the local pet store and it was cheaper online. If placed the other way, the carbon can be pushed out into the aquarium. Put in last night and my water is crystal clear. Affluent Romans kept their water and wine in silver flasks for the same reason. I highly recommend the product and seller without hesitation. I always deep clean my humidifier every week-week and half regardless.

"Poor thing."

I have done this a several times with great results. The picture shows an aqua color and mine is orange. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me. So they fit in my Tetra filter for the fish tank. I used one gallon of reverse osmosis and the rest tap. If it it quickly slip on then it wouldn't be as secure and tight as it needs to be. They tend to hang up on the edge of the tank.

"The hotter, the faster."

Affluent Romans kept their water and wine in silver flasks for the same reason. Still, mine came in 1 piece and in working order so I'm satisfied. These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly. The little fish is super cute in my humidifier. A few names we've had were Carlos, Phobe, Feesh, and Chaz. Will be ordering multiple of them for my needs. I even poured in extra to help with the healing.

"5 out of 5 stars."

Thanks to the Amazon reviewer who mentioned this! It's far superior to manually scooping out the water from the fish tank. I have pillows under a tarp, but pockets of water still form. But this is great utility tubing for a variety of other uses. I just change them when they get clogged. Exactly the same item I purchased from a local store for alot more money! I use water from the tank, but you can use treated water.

"Looks great!"

Be sure to unplug the filter before you do the change. I swim 5x week and usually my suits last about 2 months. No idea how well it's cleaning, but they are hella cute. It doesn't just quickly slip on, and there's a reason for that. I used to use AmQuel years ago and then spent years out of the aquarium hobby. Easy to use and a great price here at Amazon! 5 years now and I truly believe they help keep the humidifier and water cleaner.

"Seems to be helping."

Overall, these are easy to use filters& seem to do a good job. If you're treating injured fins or introducing new fish, this is for you. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. Fish are aerobic organisms that are susceptible to ROS. I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. Don't claim to be an expert, but I've never heard of that. Boiling water does more to kill mold and bacteria, so save your money.

It's far superior to manually scooping out the water from the fish tank. I wish the length of the section that is in the tank was about a foot longer. Still, mine came in 1 piece and in working order so I'm satisfied. This will retain much of the bacteria needed. I have pillows under a tarp, but pockets of water still form.
