Andy's Fish Den Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I love the easy green liquid fert and root tabs, and sponge filters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmurray407 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I love the sponge filters (I have several of the large sized ones and a couple of the smaller ones) and I have the USB filter as back up in case of a power outage. Unfortunately, most of what I buy from the Coop are foods, fertilizers and plants which probably doesn't help you much....I can also add that I love the Co-op airline tubing-it is wonderful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I agree about the sponge filters and nano pumps, and I'd add pre-filter sponges, too. Like others, I tend to buy the fertilizers (root tabs for me), plants, and food most often. Can't go wrong with a t-shirt or towel! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Nets ❤️ I feel like I have ninja 🥷 fish catching skills with them (which I absolutely do not otherwise 🤣) Nano pumps connected to coop sponges with ZNC airstone and coop airline 🥰 the silence is blissful. Coop Brine shrimp eggs are far superior to others. 🤩. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kightlinger Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I love dried tubi worms! I stick them to the glass a couple inches above the bed in my 29-gallon community tank. The Cory cats and Mollies will swarm it, which allows a lot of the worms to float up so my dwarf frogs the opportunity to graze. Whenever I have someone feed my fish if I'm out of town, I can feel confident that a block of dried tubi worms on the glass will take care of my entire tank. I've also recently purchased a nano sponge filter which I modified to fit into a 2.5 gallon planted tank that will house snails and shrimp on my girlfriend's office desk. I cut the sponge in half, removed one of the two internal risers, and nipped off the little nipple on the bottom. This leaves just enough room for a ziss airstone with *zero* excess airline. It's quite the impressive little filter -- I'll have to share photos of it, sometime! Edited January 27, 2022 by kightlinger schpelling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDukeAnumber1 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The test strips are a must buy IMO. All I used to be able to buy were way overpriced ancient expired tetra test strips. The Co-op's blow them away. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I love Easy Green. I also get my Repashy foods from them, especially Soilent Green. The red goldfish t-shirt is a staple of my wardrobe, and the towel I use practically every day. The snail catcher is also a must have if you have fish who like eating snails. I love how their sponge filters stack, too - I have 3 in my 75 gal. And I usually buy a plant or two with my orders. Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the test strips!

Levi_Aquatics Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Test strips, usb nano air pump, coop brine shrimp eggs, and towels are some of my personal favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holes are maybe 1/2 inch. Here's a (not great) picture of mine in my 20 gal to give you an idea...and with a bad blurry picture of a female guppy and the one bad leaf on the anubia for a closer size comparison. The test strips are another great idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their coconut shell caves too--I've grown moss on them, and they end up looking pretty cool, although the "door" on mine is different than what's currently on the website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph’s Fish and Plants Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 If you’re wanting to hatch brine the brine shrimp hatchery and coop eggs are a must have. I also really like the easy planters for root feeding plants if you have fish that like to dig or knock plants around. I second the test strips as well, they’re great for testing quickly and accurately and you get a Lot of tests (if you cut em in half you can get 400 in one pack 🤯) get the multi test and the ammonia strips. Also, grab some stickers! You’ll get one automatically with the order but grab some others (especially Murphy) to deck out a water bottle or a fridge, laptop, aquarium rack, the options are endless. Finally I’d grab the towel, we can always use more towels in this hobby 😂😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzDaddy21 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 BBS Hatchery + eggs to me are a must have.🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
813aquatics Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Sponge filters are awesome, have five. With this I always include the airstones, check valve, tubing, flow valve. Lowkey I get a lot of use out of the $1 pipette and the measuring spoon (the tiny measurements on backside are super useful). The aquascaping tools have held up well so far too. If you have plants get the curved scissors you won’t regret it. Easygreen has been good so far. Gotta love that pump bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan B. Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 My favorite Aquarium Co-Op branded products are the sponge filters, air line tubing, and Easy Green (note to rookies like me, Easy Green increases your nitrate readings, so don’t freak out like I did). My fave non-Aquarium Co-Op products the Ziss line-up or BBS hatchery, breeding box, airstone, and egg tumbler. They cost more than other brands, but they are a really really good long-term investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockEwe49 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think for me it is a tie between the Easy Fry Food and the Test Strips. Both great products! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
