5 Stars Good, inexpensive tank thermometer
I’ve had the thermometer in my tank for a couple of weeks now. Right out of the box, it was easy to set up. It comes with a really long cord on the temp probe, which for me is a little excessive. But there are two suction cups to help with cord management. So, you can position the probe exactly where you need it. Beyond that, it’s just a basic thermometer, which is just what I wanted. I was tired of watching my little LCD gauge slowly peel off the side of the aquarium, and this is the perfect affordable solution. The other benefit of the portable nature and the long cord is that I can test the temp of any water I’m putting in the tank. It’s often too cold or too hot coming out of the faucet; now I can get it just right before I do my water changes. I can’t speak to its accuracy, because I don’t have another to compare to, but it seems about right. All in all, a good purchase.

4 Stars Better than expected, inexpensive, would purchase again
I have a new 90gal SW reef tank with a 50gal sump set up. I needed a digital thermometer that could be reliable, at the same time not break the bank, since my eventual live stock need to be in a certain tempature range. After reading several reviews of the Coralife Digital Thermometer from various vendors, I was a bit nervous in purchasing since some of the reviews reflected inaccurate temp readings….some complaining of even being several degrees off!!..eeek. Since they were rather inexpensive and I was on a limited budget, I went ahead and purchased 2 of them to compare and also have a ‘fail-safe’ set up. I also have a removable digital thermometer already at home in which I have been using and is accurate (tested) to <0.1 degree…but needed a permanant set up.

The delivery was fast from time of order. The CDT came with an attached probe, both of which had suction cups for easy/flexible placement. I placed them in the same area of the sump to see what reading I would get….and to my suprise, they both read exactly the same!!! I compared to my tested removable themometer which indicated that they were reading about 0.5 deg F cooler….which is reasonably managable. This is the only reason I am giving them 4 and not 5 stars.

5 Stars Works, appears accurate, and inexpensive
Purchased this for our new tank. The heater has degreed temperature settings. Both are almost exactly matching. What more can one ask for?

Inexpensive. Yes, the price was a factor in my purchase. This thermometer is a good value and I recommend it.

It is best to set up a fish tank if you love the aesthetics of displaying a clean, glittering, and well-decorated aquarium. A fish tank requires regular cleaning and maintenance checks. So, you should put in some time to care for it. A little love will really make fish tank maintenance a whole lot fun.

Water clean-up and conditioning

Probably, the first thing you might notice about your fish tank is the scummy water. If the water is no longer clear, you know that it is time for a total change. Do not wait for the water to look like something out of a drainage pipe. Make use of a method of changing water that suits you best. There are people who use a bucket to keep the fish in water, while a hundred percent of the fish tank water is being replaced. Others prefer changing about 20% of the water at a time, two times a week. Whatever the case, you should de-chlorinate the water that you will be putting into the tank.

Change the water.

Aside from the tank, the water is one of the primary clues as to how much scum is invading the aquarium. Dank smell and dark coloring are signs that your fish tank needs a total change in water. If you do not want to have to change every droplet of water at one time, you may have to change about 20% at a time. This process, however, should be done at least twice a week. If you want to follow this method, you need to make sure that you change a percentage of the water before the water changes in coloring and smell. This means that you cannot miss the twice a week regularity

Check the filter and bacteria growth.

Fish tank maintenance does not only focus on the tank itself but also on the organisms living in it and the equipment attached to the tank. The said equipment are installed for the reason of helping the fish survive at ideal conditions. The devices should be maintained in tip-top shape so that they can continue serving their roles.

Keep on checking the temperature in your fish tank.

The temperature is vital to fish tank maintenance. This is because your fish may not survive temperatures that are too cold or too hot. If temperatures are allowed to go haywire, you may not have anything to call your aquarium. Aquarium thermometers should make it easy for you to see if fish tank temperature is going over or under the limits.

Provide a certain amount of light.

How much lighting do your pet fish need? Find out the amount of light your particular breed of fish. This means that you cannot mix fish with very different lighting requirements. When you know the amount, maintain this level. Do not overdo lighting because this can cause fast algae growth.

Provide enough oxygen to your fish.

Fish tank maintenance entails fish survival as one of the top objectives. You should ensure that your fish have enough oxygen. This means that the water has to be cleaned regularly so that oxygen can be properly absorbed. If there are too many organisms competing for oxygen in the tank, then it would be best to install an aerator. The aerator can ensure that there is enough oxygen for every organism.

Do not forget that an important point of fish tank maintenance is the care of your fish. Check your fish regularly for a change in coloring, listlessness, and other odd behavior. Immediately remove any dead fish.

Fish Mox Amoxicillin 250 mg 100 Caps

Add contents of one capsule (250 mg) into aquarium for each 10 gallons of water to be treated. Repeat in 24 hours. It is suggested that a partial water change be made between treatments. While duration of treatment depends on type and severity of infection, it is recommended that extended medication baths continue for a minimum of 5 days & for not more than 10 days.

3 Stars Did not help my particular problem
My fish were exhibiting a strange series of symptoms. First, they would get the dreaded “white mustache.” (not puffy, more like someone drew it on there with a white pencil). Some fish would get a yellowish belly. Melafix used with Paragard for one week seemed ineffective. Then I tried a combo of maracin and maracin2 for a week or so - to no avail. Lastly, I tried Fish Mox. Now, with only a 1 pink kissing gourami 8″ (showing some scale loss), a ropefish, one spiny eel, and a black ghost knife in my 90 gallon, I began treating with Fish Mox (after water changes, etc.). After I began the new treatment, I added 3 giant danios as an experiment… they are cheap, hardy fish. They are still kicking but one is starting to get “yellow belly.” The three will be moved out of the tank soon. This bacterial infection is a superbug! It doesn’t seem like Fish Mox did it… but nothing else did either so it is hard to comment on the product.

5 Stars Great Product & GREAT Service
I have used this product before then my local fish store went out of business. I was very happy to find this product on-line. I was even happier with the service on my order. I ordered on Monday (I’m on the east coast) and this shipped the SAME DAY (from the west coast). I got it Wednesday Morning by 10AM. They had provided me tracking so even the standard shipping worked out GREAT for me.

5 Stars This stuff is great
I purchased it to use on my barn cats, since we cannot catch some of them and the vet is soooo expensive. It worked great, and their respiratory infenctions are almost gone.

5 Stars Fast shipment
I was very happy with the order I placed, It was shipped very fast with no problems, I would recommend them to everyone who needs this med! Thank you very much.

5 Stars Fantastic for cat owners!
I adopted a Himalayan cat at the local animal shelter. Before I knew it every cat in my house was sneezing and coughing. My vet is an hour away. I had just lost my job. Honestly I did not feel like putting 3 cats in the car and driving an hour and then paying for antibiotics on top of it. I ordered this and every cat is fine now. I have tons left over in case I have this problem again. Just get some canned cat food, mix it in. They could not taste it at all. What a lifesaver!

I had a bad sinus infection, tried to get a doctors appointment and was told I had to wait 2 weeks. I ordered the Fishmox received it fast from Amazon, took it 4 times a day and within 5 days the sinus infection was gone! Stayed on it for 10 days total. I saved $100 doctors visit and $90

Amoxicillin purchase (I have no medical insurance). It is real Amoxicillin.

It worked for me.
