review

I just picked one of these up for $16.99 shipped from amazon prime and because it's so cheap I thought I would comment on it. The filter has great flow for a filter in this price range. The motor sits down in the water itself which I actually like because you don't hear any of the motor noise...

Let me preface that this review is for the purpose of informing my fellow hobbyists of my experience, and to share a cautionary tale or "tail". LOL. Of course, your experiences may differ--hopefully they have in the past and will in the future. After considerable research and inquiries among...

So, I was recently provided with some of Brightwell's Xport media to try. I have had a horrible problem keeping my 100 gallon tank looking good. Admittedly, it's where many fish get put while I get another tank setup for them so it's often overstocked with a mish-mash of fish. It also has a lot...

Received my Beamworks 60" LEDs yesterday. What a difference from the T5 HOs I had! The 9600 lumens it puts out from the 192 10,000K white LEDS and 28 blue actinic LEDS is bright and impressive -- it is a clean white light that let's me see my 120g with Africans, lace rock, white PFS, and ocean...

2014 was the most difficult year in CAS history. For the first time ever total sales failed to grow from the previous year and instead they declined more than a 30%. This has led to a major change in how I do business: I am no longer primarily selling fish brought in from Wholesale Farm...

After some discussion with Matt Chambers about this item, I figured I'd give it a review. This was one of the items generously donated by Cobalt that served as one of the awards for the Aquarium Beautiful contest at this year's AquaMania. I ended up taking it home and as much of a naysayer I...

I was in North Carolina this past weekend for a family wedding and had a chance to visit a LFS on my way back. There are a few LFS in/near Raleigh, but the conveniently accessible ones are generally closed on sundays. I was heading back monday and they opened the doors a few minutes early for...

That's right folks a FISH MOVIE! PONYO is the name of the movie and it looks really cute. Unfortunately, it's an animated feature, but fortunately, it's great for kids and adults. This movie has a unique touch to it because it's a Japanese animated movie and has nothing to do with Walt...
