Advantages: Suitable for troipcal and goldfish
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...As a tropical fish keeper I am well clued up on all the equipment you need to set up and maintain a successful aquarium. To maintain a healthy environment, once piece of equipment you well need is an air pump. This will ensure that your aquarium has the correct oxygen levels for your fish. It is not vital but it's useful to have as you will ensure that there is enough oxygen in the water for your fish to live. This air pump and all of Rena's air pumps can be used for either tropical fish of cold water fish. Although fish don't actually breath oxygen from the air, they do need the oxygen that is dissolved in the water. They make use of this oxygen by gills, which is the equivalent to our lungs. This device plugs into the mains and delivers oxygen into the water through a tube which is placed in the tank. The mains wire is a good sized... Read review

Advantages: Cheap,attractive and reliable.
Disadvantages: Can be irritatingly noisy.

...that the rising of the bubbles aerate the water. It is actually the bursting on the surface that releases the oxygen. This is maximised by using an airstone to break the pumped air into smaller bubbles, and is quite therapeutic to watch. I use two Rena Air 50 pumps in my house, one for the goldfish and one for my tropical tank. The Rena 50 is for tank sizes of 10-50 litres (2-11 Gall) and it will deliver 70 litres of air into the water every hour, 24 hours a day. The unit must be placed in a dry area, above the water level of the aquarium. This is to prevent water back siphoning down the tube and into the pump if the mains supply becomes interrupted. Alternatively a one-way valve can be fitted in the air tube to prevent this (cheap from your pet shop).You may also consider a clamp to restrict the air line and thus regulate flow to the airstone...

Advantages: Compact - attractive - easy to maintain
Disadvantages: DO follow their comprehensive instructions

...purchased a Rena air50 to replace the one supplied. The tank is very quiet and all you can hear is a gentle fizz of the bubble tube. ADVICE - follow their instructions to the letter - they are written to apply to the Biube and as such this tank is different to any others I have kept. Join an online group for further advice and increased enjoyment. LIGHTING - my Biube came with an led i-Light. This is a smashing piece of kit - I love it!! You can programme the inbuilt timer and the unit replicates dawn and dusk and will even provide a very attractive blue moon effect at night if desired!! TROPICAL FISH - my set-up is tropical and this works really well - the water is CRYSTAL CLEAR - all the fish are very healthy too. PLEASE PLEASE stick to their stocking advice - it may seem slow but it will pay you back times over - I can see this now 2... Read review

Advantages: Unique Battle System, Good Story...
Disadvantages: There Really Isn't 70+ Endings...

...'t believe I didn't notice that this is a sequel, I mean come on! It even says Star Ocean: THE SECOND STORY but maybe I just don't notice the subtle things. Graphics 3/5 Unlike most people I just don't buy how great the graphics are, I mean sure, I'm a huge fan of the 16 bit era but I just don't think the graphics are as good as most people peg them to be. The characters are all sprite based, while the backgrounds are pre- rendered and the world map is fully polygonal. I just didn't particularly enjoy the water color look to this game. A few characters are very original compared to most RPGs, there is Claude (haha a few people say I look like Claude) that is from the future, and his clothes show it. He wears a brown ensign jacket and has wavy blonde hair. Then there is Rena who isn't all that original, she's the typical blue haired RPG female... Read review

Advantages: Very informative & intersting
Disadvantages: Not good for impatient children

...Boston aquarium is a very fun day out, it is the aquarium where andrai (like in the film) lived. It is expecially good if you have small children, however probably not quite as good for moody teenagers. The exebitions are very interesting and there are shows E.g. Feeding the sharks, The Walrus Show, the coral reef show. The shows are scheguald quite frequently so if you miss one its not long till another. Also the aquarium is very near the centre of Boston, so you can take a look around the other attractions, including the Science Museum(which there is also an opinion on). If its your last day in Boston and you are getting a plane out, it is also easy to see the aquarium in half a day and make it in time for your flight easily, the aquarium haas an asortment of restarants, so you dont have to worry about food....

Advantages: Keeps fish healthy - food supply
Disadvantages: may need the odd trim - especially when plants start to over grow.

...After scanning most of the topics on offer i`ve decided to write about aquarium plant life as my first opinion.I own a huge fish tank full of tropical fish and all the added extras that you need. I`m going to talk about the importance of aquarium plants - When i started with tropical fish nobody pointed out how important aquarium plants can be when setting up an aquarium and so i`ve decided to talk about this area in particular. AQUARIUM PLANTS: Aquarium plants are availabe in many forms and contrasting shades.They look nice,they keep your aquarium healthy and fish thrive in a more natural habitat.They provide refuge,shade,food and even spawning sites for certain fishes. The choice of the plants is almost as wide as that of the fishes.Plants can be selected to occupy different areas of the tank,from floating plants on the water... Read review

Advantages: great actresses, emotional plot

...at the home of Starr (Robin Wright Penn), a white trash born again Christian who speaks about Jesus an awful lot, but may not live like a Christian. Problems arise, and Astrid is moved to the orphanage to another home, that of Claire (Renee Zellweger). Claire is, to Astrid's view, the perfect foster mother. But, like before, something happens and she is moved to another home, that of Rena (Svetlana Efremova). Rena is an immigrant (from Russia?) and is entirely about making money. Through each of the stays in a foster home, Astrid is blending her personality with that of the foster mother, trying to figure out who she is. While this is happening, Astrid stays in touch with her mother and this is where we see the most growth for Astrid, in how she interacts with her mother. It is not fair to compare a movie with the book which it is based... Read review

...The aquarium was recommended to me by friends who own a motel on St Pete's Beach. They are always looking for places to suggest to their guests so we offered to go and try it out and report back to them. I'm glad to say that we had a great time... The aqaurium is located on Channelside Drive, Downtown Tampa and is open from 9.30 - 5pm every day. It was really easy to find and parking was no problem, there was the added bonus of it being located near the check in areas for the cruise ships so there were plenty of shops and restaurants around too. You can park at the aquarium, but that will cost you $5. The ticket prices were high, although I suspect that you could find coupons in the various tourist brochures. A general admission for an adult costs $17.95, children under 12, $12.95. An "eco-tour" ticket is available, but that costs... Read review
