Zilla 09930 Night Black Heat Incandescent Spot Bulb, 100-Watt

Zilla 09930 Night Black Heat Incandescent Spot Bulb, 100-WattI have had a lizard for about 4 years now and the only heat source that she will sleep with is this bulb. Well i ordered it from this seller on amazon and it arrived quickly, except it quickly ceased functioning, which is rare for these bulbs. Well i emailed the seller and they sent a new one 2 day shipping for me and didn't even require i send the old one back, saving me some money on postage or the hassle of sending it out. I can honestly say this seller is amazing and the product is great as well.

at least this one stayed on for a couple of days. The last one burned out imediatley. Still not long enough though.

Buy Zilla 09930 Night Black Heat Incandescent Spot Bulb, 100-Watt Now

I have bought numerous prodects for Zilla the past year, however, these keep going out on me within 2-5 weeks of purchase. These products are very expensive and it seems Zilla is making these very cheaply now. This is happening with both the bulbs I buy from Amazon and local stores. They are nice because they are not bright like other night/black bulbs, but it doesn't seem to be worth the hassle anymore. And I have read that this is happening to other people more this year too, so it doesn't seem to be anything I'm doing or using and I didn't have a problem in the past with them.

Keeps the heat in the aquariums and allows only a small amount of light to emit, thus allowing you to sleep if your cage is in your room.

U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator

U.P. Aqua Co2 IndicatorThis is kind of a hard product to get wrong, considering how simple it is, so I wasn't surprised when it worked. The hardest part was mixing the proper kH reference solution to fill it with. This wasn't hard (baking soda and water), but it would have been nice if the included instructions described the process, rather than adding the indicator solution to a sample of tank water. Using 4 dkH reference solution will give you more accurate results than tank water, and is pretty easy to do if you have a kH test kit (like this one API KH (CARBONATE HARDNESS) TEST KIT. )

After adding the reference solution and indicator, I flipped it over and put it in the tank. It remained green. Hmm. Does it work? I turned off my co2 system for 24 hours. It turned blue. So far so good. Ever the scientist, I then cranked the system up. After a few hours, the indicator turned a yellowish-green. I backed off, pointed a powerhead at the surface to off-gas some of the extra co2. It turned back to green. Looks good to me.

Does what you'd expect. The only minor flaw I could find is that the suction cup will only stay put for about a week, slowly allowing air back in. I find myself squishing it back flat weekly, worried that it'll fall off.

I was a little hesitant purchasing this....but it's simplicity is surprising and it seems to work as described. The instructions are a little sparse but in reality there's really not that much to say. Add the fluid...place in aquarium....compare the color to the included color chart.

Read Best Reviews of U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator Here

This is the first co2 indicator I have bought. It is made of plastic, but does the job. You could say it is better than glass because it's less fragile. I believe the indicator works, it changes color as I increase my co2 with the U.P. Aqua atomizer. The one issue I had was putting the fluid in the clear cap then attaching the base, but then you have to flip the unit over to get it facing the right way, but some of the fluid came out of the opening, which can be expected, I guess. Maybe I need more practice. Overall does what it was supposed to do.

Want U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator Discount?

Yet another failure on my end for making this purchase, o ring wasn't tight enough to clear plastic cover and the solution slowly started to seep out and into my tank had to take it out not even 24 hours after I received it was hoping it would have worked because its not that big and doesn't look that bad either. Buy at your own risk you might get a good one

Impeller Assembly for Laguna PowerJet 1300 Electronic Fountain Pump, Laguna Original 3000 Pond Pump

Impeller Assembly for Laguna PowerJet 1300 Electronic Fountain Pump, Laguna Original 3000 Pond Pump Kit and the Water Garden Original 3000 Pond PumpWell, you can hardly complain about the product when you have no other options available to you :) Anyways, I have to replace the impeller about once a year and it is imperative that after you take the pump apart you clean it thoroughly before re-installing the new impeller otherwise, any debris that is left behind could shorten the lifespan significantly. I wish they would use a slightly harder more durable plastic on the actual blades of the impeller and the main shaft since that seems to be the part that brakes most often...until then, $20.00 a year to keep the pond up and running!

Several years ago I bought 2 Laguna 5 utility pumps for my fish ponds. They were amazingly inexpensive and did a bang-up job for many years. I recently moved and installed a new fishpond with a waterfall and attempted to use one of the old pumps. Sadly, it would not run for longer than 60 seconds and nothing I could do would fix it. When I tried to buy a new one, I quickly discovered they are no longer made, and an equivalent Laguna pump now cost over $200. While I was cursing Laguna for their greedy ways and desperately Googling for a reasonable replacement, one of my searches found this impeller assembly. While the description didn't actually list the Laguna 5, it did come up in the search and it looked like the old one. Considering how little it cost as compared to a whole new pump, I figured I'd take a shot. I'm happy to say that it worked like a champ. It's been happily pumping away for about 3 weeks now without a hitch.

I got this impeller 2 days faster than I expected and was exactly what I needed. I have saved money on new pumps by replacing this impeller when they wear or break from large debris.

Fluval Edge 25W Compact Heater

Fluval Edge 25W Compact HeaterI bought this heater for my 5 gallon planted shrimp tank. It fits perfectly into the tank, hides well in a corner (it is black, straight and designed to fit into a corner) and hands-free. No adjustments necessary and keeps my tank temperature well within acceptable range. Has a dim red light that is only visible when tank light is off. I like it that it is completely submersible and unobtrusive. Many of my friends have been impressed with its sleek style and the fact that it really doesn't look like a heater. If I felt like hiding it even more I could put it near the bottom of the tank, but I choose to leave it upright. My shrimp like to hang out on the top of it near the water's surface.

For the price, you won't find a better submersible heater for a small tank. Many would like to be able to adjust the temperature on the heater, but I have never had a problem with it. The suction cups will change color, graying over time, but they stick well and I haven't had any trouble with it as I have with other heaters.

This gets 4 stars because there is no thermostat; otherwise this is a 5-star heater.

BUY THIS ON AMAZON!!! Aquarium stores have to mark it up considerably.

***UPDATE December 2011*** The heater stopped heating my tiny tank. As this was a serious problem for my warm-loving shrimp, I went to Petco and bought a heater with an adjustable thermostat and I hate to say it, but I like the cheap adjustable one better. I won't be buying another one of these heaters. I reduced the rating to reflect the fact that my heater did not last more than eight weeks.

The heater is designed to only adjust the aquarium temp no more than 7 degrees higher than the ambient air temp. This is stated plainly in the instructions. Works perfect on my 6 gallon Fluval tank. It is keeping the tank temp at 76 steady. We keep the thermostat in our house at 70. Very nice looking heater, blends in with the tank background perfectly.

Buy Fluval Edge 25W Compact Heater Now

Keeps the 5 gallon chi between 72-74. But I don't think my Betta minds. I've had the heater since December 2011

Read Best Reviews of Fluval Edge 25W Compact Heater Here

I ordered this along with my 6 gallon fluval tank, and I take it out of the box and try to set it up, one this is the top suction cup was warped so it would not stick on properly, second the heater did not even turn on when I plugged it in, no light or heat. It was a complete waste of money. I have been trying to contact fluval customer support and they don't help me at all. Extremely dissatisfied. Every heater should be tested before they package it.

Want Fluval Edge 25W Compact Heater Discount?

Purchased for a 6 gallon fluval edge and have had for approximately 3 months. Liked the small size, look, and the fact that it was completely submersible.

It has been unable to maintain a temp over 74 with an air temp between 68 and 70. I added a digital air/water thermometer from my saltwater tank in addition to the cheap stick on thermometer on the glass to see if either wasn't working properly. I rarely see it running (based on the LED) and it seems most days the temp differential is between 2-4 degrees. I don't know if mine was bad or if it's just underpowered. Purchased a new 50w submersible/adjustable just now to see if I can actually get closer to 78.

API CO2 Booster, 8-Ounce

API CO2 Booster, 8-OunceSmall planted tank with only one fish was doing well before I had to move it. There must have been some nutrient loss or the plants got stressed when I put the tank back together because the plants started immediately to wilt and loose color. Within a week after adding this to the tank and the top off water the plants are back to the bright green the were before.

Aquarius AQ10000G 1-Gallon Glow Fish Globe Bowl Aquarium with Full Hood and 12 LED Glofish Lights

Aquarius AQ10000G 1-Gallon Glow Fish Globe Bowl Aquarium with Full Hood and 12 LED Glofish LightsThis is the best one gallon aquarium I have ever owned. And I have owned many. It is very light because it's acrylic and is also easy to clean. The led lights are powered by electricity with an adaptor that is included. This way you don't run off batteries to operate the led lights. These led lights show off the glow fish better than the professional aquariums at the store. The glow fish light up so much they look like they have florescent bulbs inside their bodies. Matter of fact, I am ordering a second globe bowl led light aquarium for another room. The bowl is clear, not black. I'm not sure why it is shown as a black fish bowl.

WARNING: UPDATE: 3 WEEKS LATER:

I have purchased in total, three of these aquariums. And All three aquariums within 3 weeks have clouded up permanently on the inside of the bowl, beginning at the water line, and spreading through out the bowl. I am unable to view the fish when they swim at the upper level of the bowl. I only rinse the bowl out with warm water. No abrasives are used in cleaning the acrylic. I can actually feel the coating of the acrylic on the inside of the bowl has deteriorated where it is cloudy. I do not recommend this bowl at all.

There are 4 or 5 different light settings for this fishbowl, and I normally only use the LED white light. I put my betta in here, and he loves it! It's much larger than his old bowl and so far I've had no problems with it. It's easy to clean, easy to assemble and it really looks nice.

I'm not sure if it says anywhere on here, but this bowl is plastic. I was hoping for glass, but it's much lighter to carry with water in it, and still looks nice.

Buy Aquarius AQ10000G 1-Gallon Glow Fish Globe Bowl Aquarium with Full Hood and 12 LED Glofish Lights Now

I wanted a bowl for my betta fish that had a light and a lid, but no filter. This one was perfect! I only turn the light on once every other day, but after a couple of months, the "first" light the white one burned out. The others are still working fine, though. I love that there is a small hole for feeding my fish, but enough protection on top of the bowl so that my kitties can't get in it. I also like that it's lightweight for carrying, yet not too flimsy. Very pleased with this!!

EDITED::::: I have to change this review because I've owned the 1.5 gallon version of this exact bowl since this past summer. Although my betta was happy in this bowl, it did not last more than 6 months. Despite being easy to maintain and easy to clean, the bowl itself is plastic. About 3 weeks ago I noticed the plastic started to become cloudy. I thought it was just algae so I emptied and cleaned it but could not scrub it clear again. It got worse over the following weeks despite water changes and today I took it and emptied it again and tried cleaning with a variety of things to make it clear again white vinegar, a baking soda paste, rubbing alcohol none of that worked. The bowl is so cloudy that you can barely see through it anymore. I've also noticed in the last week that the green bulbs have burned out, limiting my lighting options. For a bowl that is only 6 months old this is a very short life span. I had said that if my bulbs burned out I'd just purchase another bowl, but instead I picked up a nice, 1.75 gallon GLASS fish bowl at the pet store. Luckily the opening of that bowl will fit this lid so I'm keeping the lid until the rest of the bulbs burn out and then I'm going to purchase a clip on LED light. I'm done with these kits. Not worth it.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I own the 1.5 gallon version of this exact bowl. I had my beta in a larger full service tank, but it was just too much upkeep and he didn't seem to like it all that much. I bought this one and he's been living in it for about 5 months now and seems as happy as can be. It's easy to maintain and easy to clean. The bowl itself is plastic and I was afraid it would scratch or stain, but it's still as clear as the day I got it. The only thing I don't like about it is that the lid doesn't give room to put anything with a cord down inside, because there is no room for the cord through the lid. I had my beta in there with no heater, which he had in his tank, and he didn't move for weeks. So one day I got out my power drill and created a little opening in the lid for the cord to my underwater heater, and it has made a huge difference. Now he swims around and is a whole lot more active. So if you're going to use this bowl for a beta, I definitely recommend you get a little creative and find a way to get a heater in there. The lights are my favorite part of this bowl. It illuminates the bowl and my beta's fins so nicely, it's a really nice eye catcher and visitors are always commenting on my cool little beta bowl. I worry that the lights will burn out one day and I won't be able to find replacements, but I like the bowl enough that I will probably just purchase another in that case.

Want Aquarius AQ10000G 1-Gallon Glow Fish Globe Bowl Aquarium with Full Hood and 12 LED Glofish Lights Discount?

I have had this for about a month and it is just perfect on my nightstand. I do have it sitting on a couple of my favorite books so I can see into it better. I watch my little beta every night! The plastic has not gotten cloudy like someone else said, but I figure if it does, I can find a glass bowl that will fit the top. It works for me!

Underwater Galleries AUG5602 Sea Cave, Large

Underwater Galleries AUG5602 Sea Cave, LargeI ordered the large and the medium caves for my new 30 gal freshwater aquarium. They are nice and light compared to real rock and look great in the tank.

When I first put them in they released a ton of very small bubbles for several minutes which made me freak out a little bit.

The fish love them and spend time going in and out. I even put some live plants in a few of the holes and they look great! Very happy with these caves and will probably get more in the future.

I really like how this cave has three holes in it, it's fun to watch the fish swim in one and out another. It looks very realistic and is a quality made product. It is quite large I have it in a 10 gallon and it takes up almost half the tank. I put a picture in customer pictures.

This is so low to the bottom of the tank the only way a fish could get in it would be it more rocks were used to raise it up.

Aquatic Creations Blinking Octopus Bubbler Aquarium Ornament

Aquatic Creations Blinking Octopus Bubbler Aquarium OrnamentThe Best Entertainment I've Ever Bought!! I had seen one at an Aquarium Shop in Reno, Nevada and just couldn't stop thinking about my Big Fish Tank and how it would look in it. They wanted $50 for theirs, so I went on Amazon and started looking around for the "Blinking Eye Octopus" or "Aquarium Ornament Blinking Eye Octopus". Ever since I have put it in the Tank at my Office, it has been the Best Entertainment for my Clients and their Children. Thanks Amazon and Thank You Zanusa Pet Products.

It has a too strong odor of toxic plastic, possibly deadly to your fish. the paint started coming off as a huge cloud in the tank as soon as it got wet. I had to take it out and drain and replace the water. What a huge fiasco! JUNK!!

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 12-Inch by 1-Inch Hose, 5-Feet Length

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 12-Inch by 1-Inch Hose, 5-Feet Length**A must to have when you do your bi-weekly water change.

I was afraid of it sucking up my smaller fish, but it is not powerful enough to do this, however if I had, it has an in line basket so any larger particles do not pass through into the waste water. You would not believe how much "crud" settles into the bottom with the stones in your tank. The uptake head is oval in shape instead of round, so you cover twice the area in the same amount of time as the round one.

The siphon "pump" built inline works like a champ! Just a couple or 3 pumps and you've got siphon!!!

If you decide to purchase this, just be aware that when you are finished with each use, you need to take it apart and clean it, especially that in line filter basket of any large matter (like dead plant matter) do not let it sit uncleaned between uses as you may find that it will stink. It probably explains this in the directions, but with such a simple-use item, who bothers to read instructions??? (my bad)

this item was pretty nice. I got it because i broke my last one. it's hose is very long and nice. And it works for tanks up to 55 gallons. (i tested it)

Read Best Reviews of TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 12-Inch by 1-Inch Hose, 5-Feet Length Here

For an item that did not cost me very much money, it is one of the most AMAZING things I've ever bought. As a tank vacuum it works beautifully. Need to do a water exchange on your tank? Just a couple squeezes and you can quickly siphon out however much water that you want. Totally cleaning your tank out? This siphon will get all but about a half tablespoon of the water out. Take a wash cloth, wipe out your tank, and your done! Literally in only a couple of minutes (for 10 gallon tank) from start to finish. I could not be happier. I recommend it to all fish enthusiasts. One thing I do have that makes it even easier is a plastic 6-gallon water jug; I put the hose in it, fill it to where it's still easy for me to carry, and dump it.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Pro Iiie Filter Pad Pack (1 Blue/4 White)

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Pro Iiie Filter Pad PackNot what to write about. Its filter material..... Would be nice if the filter came with starting media but those that buy it have already done thier homework.

An eheim fan for over 35 years they are always my filter of choice. This pack was perfect for my 2078 (Pro 3) which needed a make over more than a cleaning. In the past I've tried other brands but they pale in comparison to eheil quality. The Blue pre filter can remove particulate matter down to three microns in size and the white pads polish the water equally well.

In most cases these are perfect for the Pro 3 linebut would be far too small for the XL and 2080 both of which I have as well. In all cases the pads remove debris and keep your water sparkling clear. They can be cleaned in a bucket of tank water so as not to destroy the colonized nitrifying bacteria and then used again but it's a good idea to replace the pads every 6-12 months depending upon the fish you keep and your filtration.

This pack is an excellent deal and with Prime you get free two day shipping to boot making this purchase just that much sweeter.

biOrb 12 Volt Intelligent Light

biOrb 12 Volt Intelligent LightI have the 16 gallon biOrb and wanted to get this light to pamper my fish. I looked around online and these sell for around $125 on most sites (excluding tax and/or shipping)!

The light itself is much thinner than the included light and has a number or programmable options...I sometimes use it as a simple reminder to go to bed myself when I see the lights dim =)

We purchased a biOrb at the start of the year, and simply enjoy the heck out of it. One of the minor issues I had on was the standard light that comes with kit had to be manually turned off and on each morning and night. We also didn't like to leave the light on when we left the house, as it got quite hot, the new LED light takes away the need to do all of this. The fish appear to be quite happy and the different LED's throughout the cycle seem to work well. (no negative impact on the fish).

Although a tad expensive I would recommend this as an upgrade to your biOrb in a heartbeat.

Buy biOrb 12 Volt Intelligent Light Now

The unit is very slim and is a much better light than the standard bulky halogen which takes up space inside the tank. Surprisingly very bright and clear!

The sunrise/sunset feature is a little silly though. Biorb claims that it's like a natural sunrise/sunset for the fish but it's not really that gradual of a process. In the morning it goes from one blue moonlight bulb to all three of the white daylight LEDs lighting up at once, although they are slightly dimmed when they light up. I doubt fish will really think that it's a real sunrise.

I was also expecting that there would be some lighting color to this unit--natural yellows and oranges for sunrises/sunsets and gradual gradients throughout the day to stimulate the true natural sun cycle. But I guess that is a little too much to ask for in a fish tank light.

Read Best Reviews of biOrb 12 Volt Intelligent Light Here

I ordered this light as my existing one stopped working. Its definitely a step up from the "Standard" light as it is much brighter. It actually leaves "Glitter Lines" on the floor, its that bright. It might even make a good "Reef light" due to this fact but I am uncertain if the light spectrum is strong enough for some corals. You are able to program the unit so that you can "custom" the amount of daylight with nite / moon light. The transformer is not included. I only gave it 4 stars as I thought it was overpriced.

Want biOrb 12 Volt Intelligent Light Discount?

As someone mentioned earlier, this will fit into the opening for the 4 gal. (Baby) BiOrb it just won't fit the top lid ring. The light is really a lot better than the standard bulb and while it's expensive, I feel it was worth it. I'm using this on the Baby BiOrb and the tank looks fine without the top ring; but I'm going to take the other reviewer's suggestion and use a Dremel tool and widen the hole to make it fit into the plastic ring shouldn't be a big deal. If you have a Baby BiOrb, I'd recommend getting the light.

Digital Aquarium Terrarium Thermometer ST-3 Black

Digital Aquarium Terrarium Thermometer ST-3 BlackI bought two of these, and they work well, but there is a 1 deg F difference between both of them, so I am not sure which is right but if one degree accuracy is good enough for you this is a perfect little product at a cheap price. BTW it seems to take at least one minute between samples so dont expect sudden changes if you put it in the palm of your hand or in ice water. Thats a good quality if your using it on Aquariums or anything involving live animals.

Item is calibrated to show the temperature to .1 degree. When tested against my thermocouple, however, temperatures varied in 20 tests everywhere from 8 degrees low to 2 degrees high.... Of course I didn't get the thermocouple til about a month after I got this item, but I got the thermocouple because of the erratic numbers this was displaying, thinking I had a serious thermostat malfunction. Thankfully it didn't cause any damage I couldn't repair (Fortunately I had been trying to calibrate a setup, so nothing was actually being effected by the temperature). I guess if you're using this as a backup or for one where +/5 degrees doesn't matter then it's great, but if you need at least semi-accurate readings, this thermometer is NOT for you.

I bought 4 of these little units. One for use as a temperature sensor for my truck. As it gets colder I like to know what the temp is when I'm driving.

I should have started by saying that I ordered the 4 units at 6:51pm [pst] and received them just 2 days later. Great company, great deal, fast and attentive shipping department. I will now look to their company first when shopping.

I have 2 units checking the temp in 1 small space and they are only off by 00.2 or 2 tenths of a degree. Pretty darn good for a $5 item.

Thank you Meter Depot!!

I've had this item for about almost a month and to me it's great. I turn it on in the morning to check the temperature and then also check it at night. So far the temperature it's telling me is pretty good. My temperature reads between 77.5 79.6 and everything in my tank seems to be fine. My fishes are active and my plants are doing well. So I would say that this thermometer is working the way I expected it to work.

I recommend this thermometer to anyone that is looking for an affordable digital thermometer. Definitely better than the floater thermometers.

Well, its very accurate. I'm planning on using it for the leopard gecko I'm getting in a few days. (My first reptile ever!) I actually bought two for both sides of the terrarium. When I put them next to each other one said 75.4 and the other said 75.8 so...awesome. Plus its cheaper than the rest of the products like this and it works better than the rest (judging solely on the reviews of other products like this one) so I'd say its worth the money. My only complaint is that the suction cup is not the best. When I put it on it fell within 30 seconds so...not so awesome. I guess I'll tape it or something. Also, if its worth anything, the cord is pretty long I think. But keep in mind that this is the first time that I've used a thermometer like this. Hope this helps. :)

Marineland PA0548F Flexible Bubble Wand with Anti-siphon Valve, 48-Inch

Marineland PA0548F Flexible Bubble Wand with Anti-siphon Valve, 48-InchI am very happy with this flexible bubble wand. I have it in a 4' long 55 gallon tank and it provides a beautiful curtain of large and small mist like bubbles ... assuming you have a really good airpump. I purchased the Whisper 100 and it is doing a horrible job but one of my other pumps does a great job with this wand. Definitely worth having if you want good surface agitation to increase O2 levels in the tank and the fish love to swim through it. Also, with it being flexible you can put it in and out of objects, all around the tank, around objects, start at the front and end at the back. Whatever you want. It is weighted nicely but still needs some gravel coverage to keep it in place especially if you have Koi or other fish that like to move the gravel around.

This flexible bubbler started off great, although volume of bubbles is less than stone bubblers. Then volume of bubbles gradually diminished until barely visible. I finally replaced them with stone bubblers which work much better. Good idea but poor execution.

This had really nice bubbles for about a week. After that, barely any air made it through. Not worth the time and money.

I bought this more my 60 gallon aquarium. It was awesome at first, but after 2 months it has stopped working almost completely. A HUGE disappointment .

Don't waste your money or time waiting for it to be delivered. I bought an extra air pump, and nothing happened...no bubble at all.q I do not recommend this for your aquarium. A small cylinder airstone works better than this does. Now, I have to buy a long airstone, and redo my tank.it looked like a good idea, but ended up in disappointed afterwards. I think I should get either a refund, or a bubble wand 2 of them totaling 2 feet. I have a 30 gallon tank.

Too bad to see a product, that after I read the negative feedback on, and ou still have this in stock to see to another customer only to find it does not work. Tis is what I would consider as a scam. That's like buying a car, and it won't start when it arrived.
