I would never have believed that a tank could cycle as fast as mine did using this substrate. Mixed 1 bag with black diamond blasting sand in a 29 gallon tank. Dropped in a sponge filter from another tank and started adding a little fish food. Started testing water on day 4 - trace nitrates already. Repeated for a couple days and tested - trace nitrates. To further test, added appropriate amount of ammonia for 29 gallon - next day no ammonia, no nitrites, 5 nitrates. Within a week I had 3 guppies in tank to continue the cycle. They are still doing great.I Don't think the sponge filter cycled it this fast by itself. Great product, will be using it in my next tank.
Arrived healthy despite a weather delay, eating like pigs and doing great.
Shipped quick, nice packaging, fish are healthy, bagged well and easy to take out of bag, plants healthy, only issue is probably my snails eat the duckweed i got😪
The wood pieces were larger than I expected, and nicely shaped. I would definitely recommend.
I'd love to own these one day please email me with any help
This was 1/2 of my order placed and the blue steel shrimp were why I ordered from flip aquatics. No local shops carry caridina shrimp so I was nervous of buying live animals and having them shipped to me. The package was well packed and arrived great! The shrimp were thriving except for 2. I wasn’t disappointed as some things we cannot control. Drip acclimated to a tank that had finished cycling(water parameters were checked). They started dying one by one. A week later they all died and only then did it occur to me to check water parameters again. I had an ammonia spike and needless to say, it was my fault the shrimp died. It was a disaster on my end. Even so, flip aquatics gets a 5 star because they arrived alive except for 2, as I am impressed with how well they ship and package your order. I already placed an order for deep blue bolts and can’t wait to receive them. Thanks flip aquatics!
This was 2/2 of my first order placing with flip aquatics and boy am I impressed. All of the fish arrived healthy and only 2 died. That is 5 stars for sure. We can never control everything but I can say they do. A good job of packaging and making sure whatever you order arrive alive. They are all thriving and enjoying the other chili and phoenix rasboras in their new home. They’ve colored up nicely too!
As always they came well packed. Starting to brighten up and they dig BBS.
Great fish from a great supplier! Local pickup option is top notch. Healthy fish. Thank you
My shrimp and other fish and snails all seem to enjoy and my shrimp colony is growing so I’m pleased
Healthy and exactly what I requested. Customer service and communication has been great.
Gift card was delivered electronically almost immediately and was super simple to use.
Large, healthy bulb with leaves already sprouting. Within a week of planting it's already put out a new leaf. Couldn't be happier!
This fish is energetic and curious. If you also have an algae problem this fish is great as they ate all the pesky hair algae I had in my tank!
The cleanup crew is doing a great job and the little shrimp are fun to watch.
Arrived healthy and in perfect condition. Put it in my small aquarium and it looks great!
These arrived healthy and went right to work. They are amazing little workers and cleared algae in just a matter of days. They have renewed my confidence in my ability to keep shrimp, after failing in the past. They are thriving and have made their tanks look pristine. it actually seems like the plants in the aquarium are healthier. I will likely order more of these for other tanks.
What a beautiful fish and a great add to my tank.
