This stand was very easy to setup and is very sturdy. I put felt pads on the legs to make sure they don't scratch our hardwood floors. The black matches the black plastic trim on our 10 gal tank almost perfectly.
Aquarium Hydrometer 0-100ppt & 1.000-1.070 Salinity Specific Gravity
- Hard Case unit
- Resale Quality - 50% heavier than the soft case cheap units
- 5 year warranty
- Dual Salinity Scale - 0-100ppt & 1.000-1070 Salinity SG
- Local stock for fast shipment
Brand new Salinity Refractometer that is used to measure the salinity levels of saltwater aquariums and the worlds oceans. Calibrate with either distilled water or a 35ppt Salinity standard. Wipe off the saltwater after each use. This unit comes with Automatic Temperature Compensation or "ATC". This feature allows you to get a reading outdoors when the temp is between 50'F-86" (10'C-30'C). If you test outside of temp range your readings will become gradually more and more inaccurate. For best results, test indoors. No batteries necessary as you only need strong light - daylight (sunny or cloudy) or a lamp/flashlight.

This Product is well manufactured and of sturdy design, It arrived needing no calibration and works well. I must mention customer service. When this product arrived it arrived in a padded envelope, however, the case for the refractometer was severely damaged in shipping. The case is constructed of pretty thin/brittle plastic with an excellent amount of internal padding, great for storing and handling household wear and tear but not so good for a shipping case. When it arrived and I saw the case I figured "oh well Im not going to send this back for a broken case the refractometer still worked great(probably due to its rugged/sturdy design and the amount of foam padding inside the case) and I will just live with it. I did however leave shipping feedback to the effect of what I mentioned earlier. Well I check my mail less than a week later and lo' and behold there is a brand new case(double wrapped in padded material...lol). I didnt ask for a new case but this company took it upon themselves to go ahead and ship me a new one! Customer service! this is why I now give this product/company 5 stars

This light is amazing, especially for the price. The brightness is just enough for my plants to grow, but not too bright to the point where I would have to buy a light stand to raise it. The light is basically fully plastic other than the adjustable stands and the finish is completely black, which in my opinion, looks really good. The light has two options, the night switch for the blue LEDs and the regular LED switch with both white and blue LEDs on at the same time. The light itself is a little over 4 inches in width which is much wider than my Finnex Fugeray but that shouldn't be an issue for most people. I have a planted 10 gallon that is 20 inches in length and a planted 7 gallon that's 24 inches in length and this light fits perfectly. Note: For most of you who have fish tanks that are 20 inches in length, please do not buy the 11-19" version because the LED light will be too small and short. I got the 20-27" and it fits on both my fish tanks.

So this thermometer comes with the suction cup. It's supposed to be able to stick inside the tank, underwater so that it can accurately read the water temperature. I stuck my thermometer in first, and then added the water (it only seemed logical). I've had it for three days, and so far it has been sturdy. My betta even nudges it sometimes and it does not budge. My only issue with it is that the numbers for the temperatures are between two longer lines, which makes it a little confusing as to what temperature the water is. It would really help if they made that a little clearer. On the plus side the thermometer does have a range of temperatures that are perceived to be optimal for fish, which is highlighted in green. Because of this I am giving the product 5 stars. If there was no green highlight for optimal water temperatures, I would have to give it 4 stars because there would be no clear telling of what the temperature is. Overall, I would recommend this product. It is sturdy, and easy enough to read as long as your water temperature is in the green zone. I will update this post over time if the suction cup begins to fail.

I spent a lot of time and energy trying to figure out what heater to buy for my Fluval Spec V five-gallon tank. This one was recommended over and over again, but for some reason I tried other ones first. I could have saved myself the trouble - this one lives up to all its positive reviews. It fits in the smaller back compartment perfectly. Many say you can't use the suction cup holder, but I found it to fit just fine with the holder. I prefer to use it to keep it straight and ensure it is not touching the output hose or electrical cord. I positioned the pump so that the side with the grates and flow adjustment faces toward the tank, which puts the tube on a diagonal to reach the hole. The heater fits nicely with it all set up this way, and I don't believe it is touching anything else, which I like for added safety. I cut holes in the output tube as I saw suggested on many forums, to better allow for the water to be heated and recirculated. This works great. This heater keeps the water at a steady temperature consistent with what I have set it to. My thermometer is positioned at the opposite end of the tank, and it holds at a steady 80 degrees, effortlessly. (I have the heater for almost two months now.) My tank houses a betta fish and a snail, btw.

Only 5 stars? Where's the 10th?? I think this product just changed my life. I've only used it once, so keep that in mind. I have a 20 gal planted tank that i have to change 50% every week. Running the output to the sink. Awesome! Running the return back to the tank. Awesome!! I added Prime and adjusted ph as the new water went in. Fish did FINE. no problems. And best of all NO BUCKETS!! No. Buckets. Only caution is if you do a deep gravel vac you don't want to suck up anything you don't want going down the drain (I have a disposal) like a rock that might sneak through.

This is a great rimless glass aquarium priced at half of what I have seen similar tanks go for. Not including the pedestal, the tank is 14" high and roughly 9-10/16" wide and long. The pedestal adds another 1-1/4" of height without increasing the footprint. There is plastic divider siliconed across the back of the tank creating a separate rear 2” compartment. A sheet of glass lays over the front compartment of the tank with a small gap at the front which permits air flow with the outside room. The rear compartment has a somewhat flimsy plastic piece covering it (more on this later). Overall, the aquarium is well protected from the outside and there is no risk of fish jumping out or cats jumping in.

This is a very nice little aquarium and most people will really like it. I would recommend getting the five gallon tank over the smaller ones, even if you only plan on getting a betta, they will love the space. It was easy to put together and I love the lights. If you are not trying to have live plants the lights are fantastic, the blue light setting makes things kind of glow. The pump is strong but can be turned down, I was able to rotate the dial all the way around and the setting went down quite low for my betta. I have a female betta, three pink danio's (they glow with the blue lights) and a snail, two plants, a sponge bob house and gary (sponge bob's snail), I also included a Marimo ball. Everything fits great with plenty of room I really like this tank and did not replace the lights or the pump. I did get a five gallon heater, you should too. Have fun I think you will really enjoy this great little set up.

I did a lot of research for a 5 gallon for my betta. I wanted a tank that was clear on all sides -- I was considering the fluval chi II, but decided against it due customer reviews concerning the rate of water dissipation (not being able to leave the tank for more than a few days), and the top filter/issues.
I am very happy with this aquarium! It looks great; love the shape & size. I am not using the filter that came with it (to conserve tank space), and opted for an HOB (Azoo Mignon 150). The Azoo fits in back slot, as well as the light that comes with the tank, but because it's a tight squeeze, my lid does sit a little high in back (fits fine in front) -- not really noticeable at all.
I have nothing but good things to say about this tank. *Note that there is a uncovered oval feeding area on front cover, but I do not think this will cause my betta issues. You can cover it, with mesh, to be extra cautious)

My beautiful blue betta lived in a bowl for about a year. It was a pretty big bowl in my relatively warm bedroom and I conditioned the water and changed it every week, but the other night I came home and he was so lethargic I thought he was dead. Literally, I flipped him over and he didn't budge, and I went to get a net to scoop him out and everything, but when I walked back in the room he was up and swimming! I was thrilled, because I'm pretty fond of the little guy, but I was worried he might be sick. I mentioned this to my housemate, who asked if maybe he was hibernating or something since it was winter now, and so cold out. Having just stuck my hand in the bowl, I knew for a fact that the water was really cold, and it occurred to me for the first time that that was probably Not Right. So I did some research............

I purchased this aquarium through Amazon about 6 weeks ago and so far, so good! If anything goes downhill I'll update this review. The first thing I noticed was the lid on mine is a good bit different from the photo and that also includes the LEDs in it. So it looks to me as if I got a newer lid than those people here who have had the LEDs go out on them. My on/off button is on the opposite side from the above photo. The LEDs are well enclosed behind a clear plastic shield and I have yet to experience any condensation on the LED side of this clear plastic cover. Also, the ad above says the LEDs in this tank are bright white/blue/white-blue. My LEDs are bright white/blue/red/green and variants allowed by those colors. When I have it set to dim between color changes, I also see yellows, violets, etc. I also purchased a 25-watt heater for the tank. This tank lid has a perfectly sized cut-out to remove for a heater. It also has a cut-out to enable use of a larger filter. The filter that comes with the tank fits nicely under the hood, If you use the tank with no added heater (or maybe a bottom-styled heater where you just need to run its cord under the edge of the lid) you would have no problem with escaping residents!!! I've not had fish in many years (used to have 50-gallon tanks) and this tank is more of an effort to give my fat cat some pets of her own to be interested in!! LOL!!! At this point in time, I am very happy with this little 5-gallon set up and would definitely buy it again provided the lid is constructed as this one is over the LEDs!! Quite happy!

I bought this tank for my wife. She wanted her own tank that she could keep a beta in and that was easy to maintain. After building multiple reef tanks over the years I had a pretty good idea of what would do the job and this little tank does the job well. It comes with everything you need except a heater. The small $10 heater from Walmart fits perfectly in the back chamber of this tank. I did a nano driftwood planted aquascape and the wife's beta loves it. I also added a cheap timer for the lights and now the tank pretty much runs itself. Just make sure to clean the filter and change the carbon once a month and your good to go(super easy with this tank). Don't clean the ceramic rings as they harbor benificial bacteria. Anyways this little bad boy has been purring like a kitten for about 4 months and all the plants and fish are happy and healthy
