"I highly recommend it."

Easy maintenance of tank filtration once tank is fully cycled over a few months. I recommend these above all other filter cartridges I have ever used. You just give it some squeezes, and the outpouring begins and doesn't take forever. Aquarium tubing is scarce where I live during the pandemic. We use it when we clean& change out water. Overall, these are easy to use filters& seem to do a good job. Boiling water does more to kill mold and bacteria, so save your money.

NilocG Aquatics Final Thoughts

"This is great fish food."

Overall, these are easy to use filters& seem to do a good job. I used to use AmQuel years ago and then spent years out of the aquarium hobby. But intjink it has alot more to do with the pump rather than the tube. I used one gallon of reverse osmosis and the rest tap. We've got 2 in ours even though the package says to only use one. Excellent product, you simply can't beat the price and shipping was bullet fast. In my opinion there's nothing better.

Fluval A6577 First Impressions

"I have a BioCube 29."

Got here on time, perfect packaging, rinsed easy and fit in my filters perfectly! I have several similar products this one is my favorite. Easy to use and a great price here at Amazon! I must've measured correctly because it fits great! Exactly the same item I purchased from a local store for alot more money! It doesn't just quickly slip on, and there's a reason for that. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank.

Fluval A6577 Final Thoughts

"I have a 2."

I use water from the tank, but you can use treated water. This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully. I used one gallon of reverse osmosis and the rest tap. I will purchase this again when needed. I do not use this as a product to treat my tap water. 4-5 squirts in a sink of water, soak my suit 10 min, wring out and hang to dry. The ridges interfere with moving the hose around in the tank.

Aqueon 100106013 First Impressions

"The fish like them fine."

They surely don't last in tank very long. Water stays nice and clear, minus the odd algae bloom. The one with the fish keeps the tank clean. I like to sit eye level with the tank substrate to see exactly what I am cleaning. So they fit in my Tetra filter for the fish tank. Affluent Romans kept their water and wine in silver flasks for the same reason. In terms of taking water out, it's great.

"Buy another."

This will retain much of the bacteria needed. Now our fish have grown and we've added live plants. 4-5 squirts in a sink of water, soak my suit 10 min, wring out and hang to dry. However if you want a stress coat, this is perfect. I will purchase this again when needed. 5 gallon Top Fin Enchant Aquarium that I got from PetSmart. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well.

Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me. I change my filters every 2 weeks with a water change and my fish have lasted years. Exactly the same item I purchased from a local store for alot more money! I have done this a several times with great results. They arrived quickly and as promised.

EcoSphere Small Pod with Base Final Thoughts

"A Very quiet pump!"

In the last two months I have seen this product work its gold. Fish possess an antioxidant defense system to reduce the negative effects of ROS. In terms of taking water out, it's great. I just change them when they get clogged. Lastly, the hand pump primes very quickly and the water flow is wonderful. I've been using these filters in my aquarium for years. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon.

"I have a BioCube 29."

The ridges interfere with moving the hose around in the tank. Then I went ahead and bought a huge pack of them. It does not last or do its job after that. I really do need 1 that flows on its own. I can't find them any where's else. Be sure to unplug the filter before you do the change. Before I did anything with my tank Saturday the TDS reading was in the hight 900's.

"It's nice looking."

We've got 2 in ours even though the package says to only use one. So my 12 pack will probably last for quite some time. These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly. I bought this to attach to my Tetra whisper 20. You just give it some squeezes, and the outpouring begins and doesn't take forever. From their own colon or a hole in the ground. Before I did anything with my tank Saturday the TDS reading was in the hight 900's.

Tetra AQ-78052 First Impressions

"He didn't eat them day 1."

I decant this to a small 5 oz squeeze bottle and leave the rest in the fridge. In my opinion there's nothing better. Easy to use and a great price here at Amazon! Also some granules of activated carbon will fall out when you rinse them. They arrived quickly and as promised. Then I can walk away and come and move it to the next pocket or re-position it. Frequently changing the filter messes with the aquarium nitrogen cycle.

"A clean needle works too."

Great price for filters that are ready to go, with no assembly required. In the last two months I have seen this product work its gold. It does not last or do its job after that. So, lots of snipping and fitting on various stems. I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. Easy maintenance of tank filtration once tank is fully cycled over a few months. The little fish is super cute in my humidifier.

This tool has made maintenance so much more easy and efficient. They tend to hang up on the edge of the tank. These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly.

Washed with hot water several times to get rid of it. In the last two months I have seen this product work its gold. The little fish is super cute in my humidifier. Its quite hard to push it on to the air pump. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me.

"Just keep trying."

No observable signs of stress in the fish. Excellent product, you simply can't beat the price and shipping was bullet fast. This is the only choice I know of for filters that will fit. The ridges interfere with moving the hose around in the tank. I must've measured correctly because it fits great! However if you want a stress coat, this is perfect. I have pillows under a tarp, but pockets of water still form.

  • Jasonwell Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Glass Algae Glass Cleaner Scrubber Floating Clean Brush
  • Clean algae and scum off of the inside of your aquarium the easy, fun way!
  • Strong magnetic forces cause the inside cleaning brush to follow the outside handle. Just wipe the outside, and the inside is cleaned!
  • The inside piece floats, so if it becomes separated from the outside piece, it's easy to retrieve.
  • Simply drag the no-scratch, felt-lined handle and inside your aquarium, the scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes
  • Important: Made for common glass fish tank, not for acrylic and low iron glass. Please choose the size by the thickness of your fish tank glass. The larger, the stronger the magnet.

No idea how well it's cleaning, but they are hella cute. If you have a freshwater fish tank, I highly recommend this product. It doesn't just quickly slip on, and there's a reason for that. So my 12 pack will probably last for quite some time.

But intjink it has alot more to do with the pump rather than the tube. Super easy to use, no smell and safe. I swim 5x week and usually my suits last about 2 months.

He's still cute and my son loves him but I was surprised by the color. I swim 5x week and usually my suits last about 2 months. Another plus has been that it is scratching an itch we had for getting real fish. Initially this was used as a sample packet came with our aquarium. Couldn't find this at the local pet store and it was cheaper online.
