Aquarium Equipment & Accessories, Buy Fish Tank Pump & Kit Online

Aquarium Accessories department contains all the extra equipment you need to help run an aquarium effectively. From fish tank air pumps and accessories to thermometers and breeding equipment.

When choosing an airpump, choose the correct size rated for your fish tank and also the correct size rated for the number of airstone outlets. The depth of the aquarium also has an influence on choosing the size of the air pump. When using multiple air outlets, there are airpumps with twin outlets for running more than one air stone effectively. There is also a wide range of air accessories such as clamps, dividers, T-Valves (Tee Valves), Elbows and more.

For aquarium heaters, as a general rule, 1 watt per litre of aquarium water is usually enough to keep the aquarium up to the correct temperature even when the ambient room temperature is much lower. Although it is sometimes worth using more than the rated size heater as they will only heat the fish tank water up to the correct temperature and the will automatically knock off again due to the inbuilt thermostat.

Aquarium breeding equipment is available in the form of floating breeding traps and hang on nets – great for live bearing fish such as guppies, mollies and platys. Or there is also the choice of the more advanced 5 way breeding trap perfect for all types of fry and adult fish.

We have a range of cleaning equipment for use on all types of aquariums. For acrylic fish tanks, we recommend only using non abrasive cleaning tools such as the API acrylic safe algae pads and scrubbers as well as the floating magnets suitable for acrylic aquariums. These floating magnets are perfect for any deep fish tank or column aquariums due to the fact the half which goes inside the tank actually floats. For hard to remove algae especially calcareous algae on marine aquariums, the blade cleaners such as the TetraTec glass scraper or aqua medic Scraper are a very handy tool. Use a gravel cleaner to effectively clean the gravel on every water change – most of which now feature an effective self start mechanism which begins the siphoning action for you. 25 litre water barrels also help with the maintenance on the fish aquariums.

The addition of CO2 to any aquarium means more lush and green plants and less replacing of aquatic plants. The Red Sea Turbo CO2 systems are a very effective CO2 system capable of handling aquariums up to 160 litres, with a simple to use sachet which ferments inside the unit and causes CO2 bubbles to emit into the fish tank. For a more professional approach and for larger aquariums, the Hydor Green NRG Pro CO2 system is a very good choice capable of handling tanks up to 300 litres and simple CO2 replacement canisters are available to simply change over when needed.
