Zoo Med Turtle Dock for 15 Gallon Tanks, Medium

Buy Zoo Med Turtle Dock for 15 Gallon Tanks, Medium Now
1st I must say. Some if not most of zoomeds items like this basking dock is made with a paint-like substance that peels off into my clean turtle tank...I'm unsure how safe it it or if its lead ..if so then lawsuits can follow if someone's pet dies due to swallowing this...I don't know but I'm tired of scooping up the partials that comes from this item. Maybe its foam dunked in paint but ZooMed need to create something more safer than this coating. And it was gritty coming out of the box so I rinsed it off and it still has particles that float into my clean water.If this didn't happen it would b great...
My turtle likes to climb on it but he has to get used to it after using another bank made differently.

May not be pretty as my 4 year old put it, but it looks like the picture and works as stated. I do have a very small turtle though I added weights to my dock and it will hold 1 lb 5 oz up out of the water before sinking under.Had the grainy sand stuff but rinsed it off before putting in the tank (who would not wash something new before exposing there animals to it any way?). No scrubbing as it is foam afterall. I like it, my kid's turtle likes it, and it is as advertised so thumbs up.
I also think it is great ZooMed provides products I can afford that work. I also use their turtle filter.

The design requires improvement due to the suction cups not staying put. It would have been better if it was designed to hook over the edge of the tank for stability. I am going to have to "rig" this dock in order for it to work, because the turtles can't enjoy it when it's floating freely around the tank. Not impressed at all.Petco Purple Cluster Silk Aquarium Plant

The plant(s) all look lovely, however, my betta, whom I have now decided to name "Brad Pitt" loves to hang out behind, and in the leaves. He'll rest in there all the time, and as of today (just got him), he just hangs in there. These are supposed to replicate a real enviro so I can understand, but jeez, come on, I wanna see you some times (just like the real Brad Pit, always dodging the media). He does pop out from time to time, but then back he goes. They are sik so I have no worries about him damaging his fins. I guess when he gets used to me, or his tank he'll swim around more. But if not, thats cool with me (they are a solitary breed). Overall, if you can, go to the store and buy a bunch, set them up, and your tank will look really nice.
Malaysian Driftwood

When it arrived boy was I happy, I was hoping for a sort of L shaped driftwood that would provide shelter for my fish and I got exactly what I wanted. I was quite surprised at how lucky I was. I purchased the small one and it measured out to be about 11 inches and looks beautiful in my 10 Gallon tank. The driftwood itself is very beautiful and has a brown/tan color to it.
It is real driftwood so you have to boil/soak it before you put it in the tank or else it will tint your water brown. I soaked mines in hot water for 1 full week and it leached quite a bit of tannin. Even when I put it in my tank it leached a little and tinted my water but it wasn't as bad. The tannins actually lowered my pH which is good for my fish and the slightly brown tint looked great in my tank.
I posted a picture of my 10 Gallon tank so you guys can see the driftwood. Hopefully that can help you guys decide if you should take the risk or not. Please let me know if my review helped thanks.The driftwood looks so good in my tank I want another piece! The shape was not what I expected. It's a bit like a stump with a long thin piece sticking out. I don't mind, it just isn't want I thought of. Anyway, it's in the tank. I boiled it once for about 15 mins. After 24 hours in tank there is no discoloration to the water. I like the way it looks. If it helps, I uploaded a picture that should be available with the product image. I want another piece but I want one that is more of a tunnel for my Pleco to hide in.I thought this product was going to be too small for my tank. However this piece was perfect, after soaking it for a day, my water was crystal clear and it added a nice center piece to my 20 gallon aquarium.

Colormax T8 Lamp

AQUARIUS AQ1224 Aquarium LED Light Strip - Expandable 18 to 24, 91 LED Lamps

Some basic info:
91 3-5mm LED bulbs, 49 White, 42 Blue, placed in a look-alike T8 fluorescent tube
Worldwide voltage, regulated PSU @ 24V
Total power consumption @ 5W
Simple (outdated) non-regulated LED circuit 7 LEDs in a group with a 180ohm resistor
LEDs rated for ~30,000 hours
First light:
Came without a PSU. Returned it for another one.
Second light:
Complete package. Worked well for 3 weeks @ 12 hours a day till one of the group of 7LEDS went dead.
Third light:
Brand new, it was obviously brighter compared to my 2nd light. I wasn't sure whether it was because of the fault in the 2nd light but time will tell.
Two months into usage of the lights.
I am absolutely certain that the light output is decreasing. The third light is no longer as bright as before, now it is just dim. Needless to say for the second light, dimmer.
To summarises:
Unreliable; Not bright at all; Expensive for what it is
Seriously, just stick with fluorescent lights till LEDs have their reliability proved.
There is no way this LED light will achieve 30,000 rated hours at the rate it is getting dim. Actually, LED lights have a rating which states how long they will sustain the bright before decreasing in output. The last time I checked, most LEDs are rated 3000hours only.
Most fluorescent lights at rated for 10,000 hours and they have a relatively constant light output.

These polishing filters definitely help catch all the waste and algae that create potent levels within your tank. Depending on the size of your tank, you'll have to replace these pads at least once a month because they will get heavily overloaded with waste.Jardin Plastic Aquarium Plants Fish Tank Decoration, Red/Purple

Great kit, I've used it a few times through my work and I've always found what I needed. Although I added just a few items such as rubber gloves, antiseptic shampoo and Iso Betadine. Otherwise great buy!Lee's Ultra GravelVac, Self-Start with Nozzle & Hose Clip - 16" Large

Great product.This works awesome. I had gotten a new 72 gallon bowfront tank and was using the old 6" gravel vac. So i decided to give this a shot. Has a high flow rate which makes it easy to move quickly around the tank. Would definitely recommend this to someone with a deep tank.

I guess I am just a creature of habit, but I do not like to put things together, NAMELY THINGS THAT HOLD WATER. It was time to replace my old siphon bought in 1991, which was all one piece. Now I have a taller tank, so needed a longer siphon. This fit the bill. Self Start you say? NOPE!

I never saw whether this bulb worked. The first one arrived shattered. Cross-ship return. The second one arrived shattered. Cross-ship return. The third one didn't have any glass obviously broken, but the packaging was the same and the bulb never flickered or lit. Returned.At the end of the day, Petco actually had better pricing for an equivalent bulb and shipped in MUCH BETTER packaging. So...try the bulb, but be ready to return it if you hear glass rattling when it arrives.

I bought two of these heaters, both after about a month and a half broke. There is something wrong with the thermostat in them, they both heated up red hot and the glass busted. I've never seen heaters do this before. Don't waste your money on these!This Aquarium Water Heater does heat the water BUT its temperture probe location is 1/2" from the top of the unit. When you start with a clean Aquarium, for two days it works, then its sensor probe is no longer in the water (evaporation) but instead in the air above the water! How does it know what temperature the water is??? In order for you to make it work correctly you have to keep the water all the way to the top of the Aquarium ALL of the time, fill it every day.This was a great value compared to what they cost in store. The only thing I don't like about it is it need a lid to cover the adjuster for the temp control. Kids and cats kept adjusting the temp.Vibra-Flo® Air Pump; #3
