When it comes to keeping your aquarium clean it’s best to find the best aquarium filter. Not only does your tank look beautiful and stay cleaner for longer periods of time but your filter also plays an important roll in keeping your fish healthy by using filter media that helps to absorb the harmful toxins that naturally build up in a tank.

Now, when selecting the best aquarium filter there are a few things that you need to consider;

• How big is your tank?
• How many fish do you have in your tank?
• Does the filter need to be quite? I.E is it in a living room etc.

Is your tank 125+ gallons?

Even though you may have done a search for the best aquarium filter this filter can help out those who also have turtles! In fact, this filter replaced 2 competitors filters for his tank. Here is Kens review:

“Purchased the Fluval FX5 filter for use in a large tank that houses my sons Red Ear Slider Turtle. I was tired of spending a fortune on filters for two other systems. We replaced the previous two filters with this one Fluval FX5 system and there is a world of difference. We cleaned the tank prior to setting it up and replaced with fresh water. The old system the water would have been cloudy within a week. The FX5 is going on a month and a half and the water is still crystal clear. The FX5 is much easier to operate, clean, and set up not to mention prime. The FX5 is also quieter and the money we will save in filters it will pay for itself in 9 months.”

I still remember when I first started out in the aquarium world years ago and I can still remember the first thing that crossed my mind after I decided to start an aquarium. The aquarium it self!

I began my hunt for the perfect Mini Aquarium Starter Kit.

Many things need to be taken into account, size, shape, aesthetics (for me at least), and of course cost.

Size: How many fish did I want and what type? After much research I figured it would be a safe move to go with some smaller, hardy fish such as guppies, platy’s and mollies. Cheap, hardy fish. You can search my site here from tons of information on all of them.

Shape: Didn’t even know that a variety existed until I was up to my eyeballs in tanks at the local fish store. That’s when my imagination started pumping. Did I want a tank that would fit perfect in the corner, on the table on a stand. I decided I wanted one that could go on a desk or a bed or even the kitchen counter.

Aesthetics: After all, an aquarium is not something you simply put away when company is coming over, in fact it’s the complete opposite! I want my family and friends to see and be fascinated by what I’m passionate about.

Cost: There are some setups that honestly cost $1000.00 after all is said and done and for someone just starting out, now knowing if I was going to stay in the hobby I didn’t want to make that large of an investment. I decided my budget was roughly $50-100.

After all these factors had been considered and after some research I found the perfect fit for my needs.

It’s called the Marineland Eclipse Acrylic Aquarium System. This system was a godsend when I was starting out and in fact, even if your not starting out!

“The Marineland Eclipse Seamless Integrated Aquarium System combines a 3-stage Eclipse Filtration and Lighting System with a high-quality seamless aquarium, TetraCare support, and an informative fishkeeping guide in a complete package. The high-performance Eclipse Rite-Size Filter Cartridge and patented Marineland BIO-Wheel provide total mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration, ensuring 100-percent water-to media contact for excellent water quality and a healthy environment for your fish and plants. The specially selected fluorescent daylight lamp promotes plant growth and brings out the brilliant natural colors of ornamental fish. Easy to set up, operate, and access with top-mounted Eclipse filtration that provides ample space for added accessories like heaters or airline tubing (sold separately).”

This type of tank is called an Aquarium Kit. And in this case because of it’s size a Mini Aquarium Starter Kit.

It’s perfect in so many ways, small, easy to clean, great viewing angels (hexagon style) and is under $50!

Now, you will need a small aquarium heater if you want anything other than goldfish.. But those are cheap too, under $12.00.

And with over 170+ reviews I recommend that you at least take a look at the Marineland Eclipse Acrylic Aquarium System.

If your little fishy friends have ever shown signs of illness you no doubt thought about what fish medication you could try and treat them with. Well, I’ll try and narrow your search down for a good fish antibiotic. The miracle fish medicine that I’m speaking of is called Fish Mox.

Fish Mox is a great general fish antibiotic that you can easily administer to your fish friends.

What is Fish Mox you ask?

Fish Mox exerts a bactericidal action on gram positive and some gram negative bacteria. Useful for control of some common bacterial diseases of fish including aeromonas and pseudomonas genera and mysobacterial group (gill diseases, chondrococcus). 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. Discontinue treatment if no improvement is noted within 5 days. To remove harmless yellow color, change 20% of water and use charcoal filter until clear.

Mark, why do you recommend Fish Mox?

Great question, I’m glad you asked!

Fish Mox is Amoxicillin without a prescription. Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic which fights off bad bacteria in the body. You can use Fish Mox on more than just fish. You can use it on yourself, dogs, cats, reptiles and almost anything. It’s a general antibiotic but make sure to consult a physician before consuming it.

Fish Mox is cheap, generally $15-$30, depending on the size of the bottle and where you live. Luckily you can buy it online cheaper than any pet store. Click here to check on the current price of Fish Mox on Amazon.com

So if your fish are suffering from Columnaris, Gill Disease, Ick, Fin-Rot, Fungal Infections or anything else don’t hesitate to pick up a bottle of Fish Mox.
