Complete Guide to Aquarium Co-Op Products
Aquarium Co-Op has earned a loyal following in the fishkeeping hobby for making simple, effective products that just work. From planted-tank fertilizers to reliable sponge filters, their lineup is designed to take the guesswork out of keeping a healthy aquarium. At Tropical Treasures Wyo in Cheyenne, we stock a range of Aquarium Co-Op favorites, and this guide walks through the products we carry and how to use them.
Plant Fertilizers
If you keep live plants, Aquarium Co-Op's fertilizer line is a great place to start. Easy Green is an all-in-one liquid fertilizer that delivers the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients most aquarium plants need. It is simple to dose and works well for low-tech and high-tech tanks alike.
For tanks that need a targeted boost of iron, Easy Iron helps bring out rich red and vibrant green coloration in demanding plants. And for root-feeding plants like swords and crypts, Easy Root Tabs deliver nutrients right where the roots can use them. We cover iron dosing in more detail in our Easy Iron guide.
Water Conditioner
Tap water needs to be made safe before it goes in your tank. Easy Dechlorinator neutralizes chlorine and chloramine so your fish and beneficial bacteria stay protected during water changes. A small bottle goes a long way, making it an easy staple to keep on the shelf.
Sponge Filters
Aquarium Co-Op sponge filters are a hobby favorite for good reason. They provide gentle, reliable biological and mechanical filtration that is ideal for breeding tanks, quarantine setups, shrimp tanks, and fry-rearing. We carry sizes like the Large Coarse Sponge Filter for bigger tanks. For help choosing the right one, see our sponge filter setup and sizing guide and our size comparison review.
Air Pumps
Sponge filters run on air, and a dependable air pump keeps them working. The Aquarium Co-Op Air Pump with Battery Backup is especially handy because it keeps your tank aerated during power outages, providing peace of mind for any fishkeeper.
How These Products Fit Together
The beauty of the Aquarium Co-Op lineup is how well the pieces work together. Use Easy Dechlorinator to prep your water, run a sponge filter on a battery-backup air pump for safe biological filtration, and dose Easy Green, Easy Iron, and Easy Root Tabs to keep live plants thriving. If you are still establishing your tank, make sure it is fully cycled first using our nitrogen cycle guide, and review our aquarium filtration guide to round out your setup.
