This
page
contains
a list
of the
Bailey
Brothers' favorite aquarium equipment and supplies.
An Acrylic Aquarium with an Eclipse System Hood
An acrylic aquarium is more expensive than a glass aquarium of the same size. But acrylic is much stronger, lighter, easier to move, less likely to break, and usually lasts many years longer than a glass aquarium. The front vertical edges are rounded, which makes an acrylic aquarium more beautiful. Acrylic is slightly clearer than glass and a better insulator, so the aquarium requires less electricity. Click here to buy an acrylic aquarium.
An Eclipse System Hood is shown on top of the aquarium in the picture above.
These hoods
come in three models: the Eclipse 1, Eclipse 2, and Eclipse 3, that respectively fit an aquarium with a base footprint of 10" x 20", 12" x 24", or 12.5" x 30". Each of these hoods contains a wonderful BIO-Wheel Filter, excellent lighting, and completely covers the matching size aquarium, so the fish will not be able to jump out. Highly recommend. Click here to buy an Eclipse System Hood.
A Professionally Constructed Aquarium Stand
Be sure the top surface of the aquarium stand fits the base footprint of the aquarium. Do not use an old table, a bookcase, or a homemade aquarium stand for an aquarium bigger than a few gallons. A 20-gallon aquarium filled with water and ornaments will usually weigh over 200 lbs., and it is not safe to set it on anything but a professionally constructed aquarium stand that fits the aquarium. A good stand turns an aquarium into a beautiful piece of furniture. Click here to buy aquarium stands.
A Bio-Wheel Aquarium Filter
Almost every aquarium should have a BIO-Wheel Filter. If an Eclipse System Hood, shown farther above, will not fit your aquarium, then get a Penguin or Emperor filter with a BIO-Wheel
Filter. Click
here for more information about
Bio-Wheel Filters.
The Python No Spill
Regular partial water changes are a must for healthy fish. The Python No Spill removes and then refills water with NO buckets, NO siphons, NO mess, and NO tank tear downs - EVER again! Highly recommended. Click here to buy.
Magnetic Aquarium Scrubber
One
piece
goes
inside
the
aquarium;
the
other
piece
goes
on
outside
the
aquarium.
Scrub the entire inside surface of your aquarium without getting your hands or arms wet. Makes scrubbing quick and easy. So you'll do it often and keep your aquariums spotless. Highly recommended.

magnetic
scrubber.
Aquarium Scrubbing Pad
We don't like to stick one of our arms in an aquarium to scrub the windows. We prefer to do most of the scrubbing with a Magnetic Scrubber, but occasionally we do use a scrubber like this one to scrub off the filter and ornaments. If you have an acrylic aquarium, like we ones we recommend, be sure to get a scrubber that's labeled for acrylic aquariums, or you could scratch your aquarium. Click here to buy an aquarium scrubbing pad.
Scrubber with Handle
We do most of our scrubbing with our Magnetic Scrubber, because it is so easy. But sometimes a scrubber with a handle works better. Click here to buy a Scrubber with a handle.
Plastic Utility Bucket
These buckets have many uses around aquariums. You can move fish in them from one aquarium to another. You might use this bucket to move water to and from a small aquarium, but for a larger aquarium you should have a Python No Spill, as shown above. A utility bucket is nice to use to scrub items from an aquarium. Just put a few inches of water from the aquarium into the bucket, then remove a dirty item from the aquarium, scrub it in the bucket without using soap or any other cleaners, then return the item to the aquarium. Do not use the bucket for anything else like scrubbing your floor or your car. It's a good idea to mark the bucket with a black marker pen, "For Aquarium Only". These buckets are sold in home improvement centers.
Bottle Brush
Use this brush to clean the inside of the tube that carries the water to the filter. This tube must be scrubbed out once in a while as part of your regular aquarium maintenance. Brushes for use in kitchens, around food, and for scrubbing a baby bottle are available from many mass merchandisers, and you should own one that you only use in your aquarium.
Kordon Amquel Plus
This very advanced water conditioner removes ammonia, chlorine, and chloramine from tap water to make it safe for fish. Amquel Plus also removes nitrite and nitrate. Maintaining the best possible water quality will give you the best results for your fish. This item is highly recommended. Click here to learn more. Click here to buy Amquel Plus.
Dirt Magnet Sponge Filters
These filters are very good with small fish that might get sucked into a filter with a pump like the BIO-Wheel Filters, shown far above. We use sponge filters in aquariums with baby fish. Click here to buy a Dirt Magnet Sponge Filter.
Pocket Size TDS Meter
TDS means Total Dissolved Solids. This small pocket size TDS meter reads the amount of solids dissolved in the water, and gives a good idea of how much mineral matter is dissolved in your aquarium water. Which is not too important if you want to keep fish, but can be very important if you want to breed fish. Click here to buy this TDS meter now.

Comments
You may have noticed that several of these items are very inexpensive and widely available. You may also notice that many of the most expensive kinds of equipment are missing from this list. We recommend the biggest acrylic aquarium you can afford or several aquariums, which will make your aquarium hobby even more enjoyable. We also strongly recommend a filter with a BIO-Wheel Filter for almost all aquariums. We also like equipment, like the Python, the Magnetic Scrubber, a Bottle Brush, and a Utility Bucket that make cleaning and changing water much easier, so we will do it more often!
