Sunday, November 13, 2011 AQUA COLOR UL Aquarium Light - Red Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gives a cool lighting effect but what I really like is the intense amount of bubbles it puts out.--- Does take up a little tank space but in a 55 gal tank it's no problem for me.Aeration is important for oxygen content and fish health.So far this product has the others beat.Also, does not need a seperate pump so for the price and quality I rate this 5 stars and highly recommend!

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 AquaC Nano Remora Protein Skimmer (Skimmer Only) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a good skimmer for my aquapod for quite a while. I have tried two kinds of simmers without any kind of satisfying results, but the Remora Nano changed this losing streak. The pump (not included) fits into the first chamber, just under the overflow from the display of the tank, and the output pours into the first and second chamber. Installation is very simple, and the skimmer is very efficient. The skimmer makes a good bit of noise out of the box, but this is easily reduced by putting a folded paper towel or cloth in the top of the first chamber. The collection cup is large and easily removed and cleaned.
The documentation that came with the skimmer said that the skimmer may not work for a few hours to a few days after first installing, however two hours after staring the skimmer, it had collected a bit of murky water. After a week the skimmer is producing a small bit of murky water and large amounts of dry foam. very low maintenance, very effective and well worth the price.

Saturday, October 8, 2011 Overflow Box - Up to 75 Gallon - Single - 6 in. x 3 in. x 10 in. Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The box works very well. The inner box does a decent job of skimming any particles off the surface and retains flow even after a power outage. There were a few things I wish had come in the package: a priming tube and assorted sized connectors for various sized flexible tubing outputs. The inner box is larger than I anticipated taking up a decent size chunk of real estate inside the tank. Overall it works very well though, it gets the job done.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 Digital Aquatics ReefKeeper Lite Controller - Level 1 Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the ReefKeeper Lite for my 3 gallon nano saltwater aquarium due to the high temperatures we get during the summer. It has performed fantastically and I am no longer scared to leave the house in fear that my tank will heat up and boil everything inside. It is pretty easy to plug in and get everything rolling, the instructions are OK, but I had to go to the website to really understand how to set temperature alarms and events. The ReefKeeper controls my lights, heater, and fans and when I purchase the additional module it will control the pH and top off pumps. The price point is spot on at around $100 as to not break the bank and be affordable to someone who isn't deep into the hobby.
PRO:
1. Price is cheap for what you get.
2. Can control everything you really need it to: lights, heater, chiller/fans, ph, pumps/wave makers, dosers, etc...(additional modules required)
3. Expandability, even if you can't afford the top model you can always buy the addons and tailor the system to your needs, not what a company wants to include.
4. Very helpful support staff and website that has all the info you will need to get it up and running.
CON:
1. Hard/Confusing to set up for someone who does not have technical know how or the ability to look up the instructions on the internet. If you are ordering this then I am assuming you know how to use the internet and this won't be a problem.All in all I would say this is the best money I have ever spent on my tank as $100 is worth the peace of mind I get knowing that when I come home my tank won't be soup.
