NICREW ZJL-60A Final Thoughts

"I promise you it fits."

I used to use AmQuel years ago and then spent years out of the aquarium hobby. The siphon works well and does what it should. Couldn't find this at the local pet store and it was cheaper online. It DOES fit, you just have to spend a few minutes getting it on. But this is great utility tubing for a variety of other uses. Didn't use this for a fishtank or to pump liquids through it. The filters are expensive to replace and only so-so quality.

VIVOSUN Final Thoughts

"A Very quiet pump!"

Still, mine came in 1 piece and in working order so I'm satisfied. If placed the other way, the carbon can be pushed out into the aquarium. This will retain much of the bacteria needed. Have them on subscribe and save now. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank. Yes I know, they aren't supposed to live that long and no I can't prove it. It didn't kill the fish or cause any problems with the water so I stuck with it.

"Amazon wins again."

You just give it some squeezes, and the outpouring begins and doesn't take forever. The one with the fish keeps the tank clean. A few names we've had were Carlos, Phobe, Feesh, and Chaz. The siphon works well and does what it should. As dirty as the larger fish are theses cartridges keep mytanls crystal clean. Put in last night and my water is crystal clear. These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly.

"He LOVES them."

In the morning I awoke with my fish at the bottom barely able to move. I bought this airline tubing to work with my air pump. Great price and will for sure be ordering these again. Exactly the same item I purchased from a local store for alot more money! Washed with hot water several times to get rid of it. It DOES fit, you just have to spend a few minutes getting it on. But this is great utility tubing for a variety of other uses.

This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully. I must've measured correctly because it fits great!

"Our fish love this food."

Beats the heck out of those expensive suit cleaners. It doesn't just quickly slip on, and there's a reason for that. Okay, I don't own an aquarium- probably never will. So they fit in my Tetra filter for the fish tank. 4-5 squirts in a sink of water, soak my suit 10 min, wring out and hang to dry. I'm not sure what's going on with this 1.

"I promise you it fits."

Super easy to use, no smell and safe. The picture shows an aqua color and mine is orange. I have never had one tear or fall apart under any circumstances. The filters are expensive to replace and only so-so quality. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me. Our water in this town is really disgusting. Works great to keep the purification process going in the humidifier.

"Came exactly as shown!"

These filters get the job done, but do plug up quickly when my water is that gross. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. I have used marine land bio-wheel pump and filters for the past 20 yrs. Boiling water does more to kill mold and bacteria, so save your money. The chloramines contain a small amount of ammonia. The little fish is super cute in my humidifier. I wish the length of the section that is in the tank was about a foot longer.
