This is my first humidifier, but I am extremely satisfied with it.
The instruction is very clear and easy to follow.
It is easy to put together, simply attach the tank to the bottom.
All suggest to me that this is a very efficient machine for a warm mist humidifier(well, at least to me):

1.Within 30 minutes of use, it works and I can feel the difference.
2.No leaking.
3.No noise (slight bubbling sound is actually soothing to me, not noisy.)
4.Sturdy construction.
5.Humidity adjustable (many options, not just 2).
6.Large tank and easy to refill.
7.Low maintenance. (No filter required if you have regular tap/city water.)
8.Easy to clean. (With ultraviolet lights, cleaning isn't required on a weekly basis.)
9.For cats owners: My cats don't get scared of or hurt by it.

I don't think I could ask for more.

***Well...11/5/2007***

It's still great, although I did notice some issues:

1.A bit too much work and too heavy when refill:
For men, this might NOT be an issue, but for women like me, it might be.
To refill, the tank needs to be turned upside down because the tank cap is at the bottom of it.When I am to flip a full tank of water over and put it back onto the base, I do worry. It's quite heavy, and it gets a bit tiring since I do need to refill it every day.There is no easy access!

2.Frequency of refill:
Quote: "It requires no messy filters to replace and runs up to 24 hours each filling."I do need to refill it every 12 hours every day when I:
(1)have it on the highest humidity level
(2)have it on most of the time (12 hours)

So I do refill it every day I get up and every night before I go to bed.I assume it would last up to 24 hours like it says only if the humidity level is set at the lowest, which probably wouldn't cause an obvious difference to the room's humidity.

In all, it's still a good buy. It does help! I notice that I don't wake up with the driest skin in the morning anymore.

**A little tip**
A teaspoon of salt helps it evaporate more moisture, although it makes the water run out faster.

**I attached a picture of mine with my Treo next to it. The ratio should give a brief idea of how big the machine is.

Seaclone 100 Protein Skimmer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a terrible product, it seemed to be fine within the first few weeks, then it turned into the worst skimmer you can buy. I originally bought one for my 90 gal tank, but soon replaced it with a skimmer that could handle the tank, I now have the SeaClone 100 on my 20 gallon tank with just an undulated triggerfish in. This product is only somewhat useful if you replace the plastic valve they give you with a brass one.

Water Wonders - 1.5 gal. Aquarium Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice set up.It comes with almost everything you need.Plants, light, filter, aeration, and sample water treatment and fish food.

The plants are nice. Good color, good quality.The Light are LEDs so they won't burn out.The filter is ok.It works for this small of a tank but the tank still needs to be cleaned often.(get one of those small siphons and clean out the gravel). And the air pump is quiet as long as it's on a flat surface and not touching anything.(although mine died after about two years but the pumps are easy to find and replace)

This tank is good for a single beta, or three Neon Tetras or Danios (leopard or zebra) the Beta and Danios are all very hearty fish and are easy to take care of. The Neon Tetras are a bit more picky and are more sensitive to their environment. Keep in mind the Neons and Danios are schooling fish and best kept in groups of three or more (usually in odd numbers) but I wouldn't put more than three in this tank.Also you can usually find "ghost shrimp" in pet stores that are fun to watch and help keep the tank clean (but you need to watch out for the little buggers when you siphon the tank) I wouldn't put more than one in the tank.

If you are a first-time fish owner here's a list of additional things to buy for this tank.
Gravel-just a small bag you can find at Walmart or any pet store, any color you wish.
Fish food-this comes with a small sample of fish food but it won't last you too long.
Small siphon- makes it much much easier to clean your tank with less stress for your fish.
Stress coat-helps protect the fish's natural coat and keep them safe after water changes or introduction to a new environment.Also removes chlorine from the water.
Small cave or other hide hole- gives the fish a place to hide to reduce stress. (highly suggested but not necessary)

If your beta goes `missing' don't panic, he's probably in hiding in the filter.Mine didn't do that until later in his life.He was just getting old I think.But it scared me when I couldn't find him.

This is also nice as a quarantine tank for sick fish.The tank won't discolor with the treatments but the airline tubing will (as any soft airline tubing would.They are easy to find and replace if you are picky about it)

Over all this is a nice tank.I like the simple look and the small compartment is nice to put the extra filters into.You only need a few things to get this up and running and it displays your fish well.
