"Hope this helps!"

I bought this airline tubing to work with my air pump. In my opinion there's nothing better. Still, mine came in 1 piece and in working order so I'm satisfied. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank. If you look inside the box you'll see dust and stray granules. If it it quickly slip on then it wouldn't be as secure and tight as it needs to be. Thanks to the Amazon reviewer who mentioned this!

Tetra Pond 16486 Final Thoughts

"I buy the large 7."

Water stays nice and clear, minus the odd algae bloom. Then I went ahead and bought a huge pack of them. Overall, these are easy to use filters& seem to do a good job. This is my go to water conditioner and stressed fish treatment. It's been three months and the water has remained clear and my fish healthy. This is the only choice I know of for filters that will fit. In my opinion there's nothing better.

Penn-Plax QN2 Final Thoughts

"Mini pumps."

So they fit in my Tetra filter for the fish tank. I can't find them any where's else. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. Before I did anything with my tank Saturday the TDS reading was in the hight 900's. It's far superior to manually scooping out the water from the fish tank. I haven't tried looking for alternative brands. In the morning I awoke with my fish at the bottom barely able to move.

I'm not sure what's going on with this 1. Excellent product, you simply can't beat the price and shipping was bullet fast. 4-5 squirts in a sink of water, soak my suit 10 min, wring out and hang to dry. Still, mine came in 1 piece and in working order so I'm satisfied. I'm not sure what's going on with this 1. Exactly the same item I purchased from a local store for alot more money! I used one gallon of reverse osmosis and the rest tap.

Luigi's Final Thoughts

"I totally recommend this."

If you have a freshwater fish tank, I highly recommend this product. I have several similar products this one is my favorite. I will purchase this again when needed. This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully. I must've measured correctly because it fits great! Got here on time, perfect packaging, rinsed easy and fit in my filters perfectly! You just give it some squeezes, and the outpouring begins and doesn't take forever.

Tetra 29259 First Impressions

"Plenty powerful."

Another plus has been that it is scratching an itch we had for getting real fish. If placed the other way, the carbon can be pushed out into the aquarium. Great price and will for sure be ordering these again. I like API products and this is no different. The auction begins with just a few squeezes even my young nephew could do it. Water stays nice and clear, minus the odd algae bloom. If placed the other way, the carbon can be pushed out into the aquarium.

Tetra 29259 Final Thoughts

"Mostly for betta's."

Works great to keep the purification process going in the humidifier. I recommend these above all other filter cartridges I have ever used. Boiling water does more to kill mold and bacteria, so save your money. I decant this to a small 5 oz squeeze bottle and leave the rest in the fridge. No observable signs of stress in the fish. This tool has made maintenance so much more easy and efficient. This will retain much of the bacteria needed.

"Subtracted from the tank."

These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly. So my 12 pack will probably last for quite some time. Don't claim to be an expert, but I've never heard of that. I have several similar products this one is my favorite. API Stress Coat is a phenomenal product. It's been three months and the water has remained clear and my fish healthy. We've got 2 in ours even though the package says to only use one.

AQUA CARE PRO Final Thoughts

"Kind of dirty."

I have two goldfish and about 12 khuli loaches in a 20gal tank. I have used marine land bio-wheel pump and filters for the past 20 yrs. The picture shows an aqua color and mine is orange. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted. The ridges interfere with moving the hose around in the tank. Super easy to use, no smell and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well.

"I LOVE these little fish."

I have several similar products this one is my favorite. We like to name our new fish every month. Initially this was used as a sample packet came with our aquarium. The picture shows an aqua color and mine is orange. No idea how well it's cleaning, but they are hella cute. This water conditioner is a life saver! These filters get the job done, but do plug up quickly when my water is that gross.

  • Penn Plax Aquarium Fish Net – Aqua Blue Quick Catch Mesh Wire Net Safe for All Fish – 4 Inches

  • Handle is covered in vinyl adding to strength and length of the 13 inch long fish net, so you can catch the fish much easier.  Net measures .40"D x 4.15"W x 13"H.

Penn-Plax QN4 Final Thoughts

"The fish like them fine."

However if you want a stress coat, this is perfect. I have pillows under a tarp, but pockets of water still form. I wish the length of the section that is in the tank was about a foot longer. Water stays nice and clear, minus the odd algae bloom. Make sure you stay on top of replacing your fish every month though! We've got 2 in ours even though the package says to only use one. The chloramines contain a small amount of ammonia.

"I have a 2."

Okay, I don't own an aquarium- probably never will. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well. Be sure to unplug the filter before you do the change. We like to name our new fish every month. In my opinion there's nothing better. In terms of taking water out, it's great. This piping and some electrical tape made it quiet again.

8. Seachem Purigen Organic Filtration Resin

User Ratings: 82 3

Seachem 116016506 First Impressions

"I totally recommend this."

I highly recommend the product and seller without hesitation. From their own colon or a hole in the ground. If you're treating injured fins or introducing new fish, this is for you. Another plus has been that it is scratching an itch we had for getting real fish. The tap water was coming out around 836ppm. I have done this a several times with great results. I'm glad Amazon had these small cartridges.

  • Seachem Purigen Organic Filtration Resin
  • FILTRATION: Purigen ranges in color from almost white (cream) to light yellow. Seachem Purigen is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water.
  • SELECTIVITY: Seachem Purigen is an organic filtration resin that works hard to remove nitrogenous compounds and waste produced by fish, corals, and even plants, making your water crystal clear.
  • CAPACITY: Being both spherical and macroreticular, Seachem Purigen has microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of a purely spherical resin.
  • REGENERATION: Once Seachem’s Purigen is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach will literally “burn off” the organics that have been removed from the tank.
  • SAFETY: Some slime coat products may permanently foul Purigen and render regeneration difficult. Do not reuse if odor of bleach/chlorine is detectable. In case of doubt, soak beads in small quantity of water and test for residual chlorine with a chlorine test kit.

"They work perfectly."

Fish are aerobic organisms that are susceptible to ROS. Will be ordering multiple of them for my needs. Aquarium tubing is scarce where I live during the pandemic. If you're treating injured fins or introducing new fish, this is for you. Couldn't find this at the local pet store and it was cheaper online. I tested it again this morning and it's down to 838ppm. I recommend these above all other filter cartridges I have ever used.

This is my go to water conditioner and stressed fish treatment. This piping and some electrical tape made it quiet again. I even poured in extra to help with the healing. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. Then I went ahead and bought a huge pack of them. Washed with hot water several times to get rid of it. It does not last or do its job after that.
