"Amazon wins again."

Overall, these are easy to use filters& seem to do a good job. The little fish is super cute in my humidifier. This is the only choice I know of for filters that will fit. We like to name our new fish every month. We use it when we clean& change out water. Don't claim to be an expert, but I've never heard of that. Another plus has been that it is scratching an itch we had for getting real fish.

Zoo Med 976180 Final Thoughts

"No issues whatsoever."

They surely don't last in tank very long. I must've measured correctly because it fits great! The filters are expensive to replace and only so-so quality. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. The ridges interfere with moving the hose around in the tank. If you have a freshwater fish tank, I highly recommend this product. Easy to use and a great price here at Amazon!

"Or left a mark."

Will be ordering multiple of them for my needs. API Stress Coat is a phenomenal product. Now our fish have grown and we've added live plants. I used to use AmQuel years ago and then spent years out of the aquarium hobby. The tap water was coming out around 836ppm. In terms of taking water out, it's great. In my opinion there's nothing better.

"I LOVE these little fish."

The tap water was coming out around 836ppm. I'm glad Amazon had these small cartridges. This is the only choice I know of for filters that will fit. I haven't tried looking for alternative brands. Fish are aerobic organisms that are susceptible to ROS. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well. I had a parasite problem, and had to heal my fishes scales and fins.

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.

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.

"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.

Tetra 16253 Final Thoughts

"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.

"Fish eat them."

I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. I hope you found this review helpful! If you're serious about fish keeping, always quarantine and always use Stress Coat! I even poured in extra to help with the healing. Frequently changing the filter messes with the aquarium nitrogen cycle. But intjink it has alot more to do with the pump rather than the tube. I highly recommend the product and seller without hesitation.

"Great price as well!"

I really do need 1 that flows on its own. If you have a freshwater fish tank, I highly recommend this product. I've used it for years with great results. I must've measured correctly because it fits great! Got here on time, perfect packaging, rinsed easy and fit in my filters perfectly! I am able to use each cartridge for about 5 weeks, before it needs to be replaced. Be sure to unplug the filter before you do the change.

"I'd give them 4."

The filters are expensive to replace and only so-so quality. If placed the other way, the carbon can be pushed out into the aquarium. We like to name our new fish every month. The filters are expensive to replace and only so-so quality. I have pillows under a tarp, but pockets of water still form. So they fit in my Tetra filter for the fish tank.

"I am new to the hobby."

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. No idea how well it's cleaning, but they are hella cute. Got here on time, perfect packaging, rinsed easy and fit in my filters perfectly! He's still cute and my son loves him but I was surprised by the color. Then I can walk away and come and move it to the next pocket or re-position it. Also some granules of activated carbon will fall out when you rinse them.

Oubest OUCHGS001 First Impressions

"He didn't eat them day 1."

I've used it for years with great results. Works great to keep the purification process going in the humidifier. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted. The siphon works well and does what it should. Didn't use this for a fishtank or to pump liquids through it. Great price and will for sure be ordering these again. I have never had one tear or fall apart under any circumstances.

  • Oubest Fish Tank Rocks Glow Blue/Glow in The Dark Pebbles for Garden/Fish Tank/Aquarium/Plant Pots/Bonsai Walkway/Driveway 100pcs
  • HOW IT WORKS: Glow stones absorb and store light and then when in darkness they give off light, with 2-3 hours of bright glow and then gradually dim away. They can repeat this process for 15 years.
  • VERSATILE DECOR: In darkness, they glow and help to show walkway, path, driveway, floor, or decorate garden, aquarium, fish tank, plant pots, bonsai.
  • PRODUCING SPECIAL EFFECTS: With the dreamlike glow in darkness, they could produce special effects.
  • NON-RADIOACTIVE & NON-TOXIC: Made of long-afterglow luminous powder, polystyrene resin, which are non-toxic and do not contain any radioactive elements.
  • WARM TIPS: The darker the surrounding and the more exposure to visible light, the more bright glow can be seen. When applying, do not stack stones on top of each other.

I like API products and this is no different. You just give it some squeezes, and the outpouring begins and doesn't take forever. We like to name our new fish every month. Easy to use and a great price here at Amazon! 4-5 squirts in a sink of water, soak my suit 10 min, wring out and hang to dry. He's still cute and my son loves him but I was surprised by the color. Now our fish have grown and we've added live plants.
