API Aquarium Salt
This salt is actually about the same if not, cheaper than most kitchen sea salt, rock salt etc. Also, some [Non-Iodized] Kitchen salts contain different caking agents other than iodine to prevent salt from clumping up. This aquarium salt is PURE sea salt with no additives so this is your safest route.
Salt is the safest natural way to treat first signs of white spot disease also known as ich. In other words this will only be effective in the early stages and minor infections, if your fish is covered in ich then I suggest using medications with the combination of salt for maximum effectiveness.
Add 1 Tablespoon of salt per 10 gallons, if your fish show no signs of stress feel free to add another 1 Tablespoon of salt per 10 gallons. Then you want to get the heat up to about 85-88 degrees. In order to do this, you have to raise the temperature slowly about 1-2 degrees every hour. Monitor your fish, if they are breathing rapidly the temperature is too high. When you notice some spots disappearing it is important to do atleast a 25% water change to get rid of the parasites in its free swimming stage. Continue treating for another week AFTER you see no spots to ensure you get rid of all the ich.
Warning: Please do research on your fish before using salt. Generally salt is not harmful but if your fish are scaleless or sensitive to salt it can cause death from shock if introduced to your aquarium in large amounts at once.
Here's my super long review on aquarium salt to those who read it, Please let me know if it was helpful. Thanks!Adding this product to your aquarium helps to keep your fish healthy and even lowers stress levels. Many freshwater tropical fish still like a slight saltiness to the water. As long as you follow the dosing direction on the box, you should have absolutely no problem with this product.
Things to Remember...
Only add additional salt after you have completed a water change and only add enough salt to dose the amount of water you replaced. Also, do not just top the water level off in your tank if water evaporates. This will just make the salt concentration higher.
Overall, I highly recommend this. My neighborhood store ran out of aquarium salt and I was too frustrated to look for it at another store. So, I tried Amazon.com and sure enough I found my brand of salt online. As any Goldfish lover can tell you, aquarium salt is an essential additive for the electrolyte balance of aquarium goldfish. Not only does aquarium salt reduce the amount of ammonia in the fish tank, its helps to reduce stress on the fish after a water change, and it helps them to heal and to fight diseases. I recommend Mars Fishcare Aquarium Salt to every fish lover who have fish that need a bit of aquarium salt routinely for the health of their fish.
Aquarium Salt, 65 oz
In addition, Mars Fishcare Aquarium Salt, 65 oz sells for a reasonable price.

I followed the dosing instructions on the label exactly, and a week or so after starting to use it, one of my betta got sick and died. I managed to save my second betta by removing him from the salt water.I added the required dose for freshwater fish to 2 gallons of water, then added the required water conditioner, and used that water for my water changes. I never put the salt directly into the aquarium, so I always knew it was the right concentration. I made sure the salt was fully dissolved (the chunks are very big).
I don't know what I did wrong, but fortunately I was able to save my second betta after I stopped using this product. I now use the product as a foot soak, so it's not totally wasted. :)

I'll start with a small anecdote. A couple of months ago, my wife decided to lend me a hand a do a water change (bless her heart), but unfortunately, she's not very experienced. I lost 7 fish in the incident and my Colombian Silver Tip developed cloudy eye.Water parameters were intact, but the fish suffered a great deal of stress, the water was too cold. Anyway, instead of buying and/or applying medicine, I went ahead and added a few spoons of this salt; within 24 hrs, the cloudy eye was gone and the remaining fish started to breathe at a normal pace.
This salt is not only for brackish water, but also for fresh water (but in small amounts). For brackish, as the name implies, it is a must. The salt will encourage a healthy inmune system and will keep the fish happy. It is a perfect additive to prevent and as I said above, cure some illnesses.
I suggest you add this product every time you do a water change or when you add new fish to your aquarium, in small amounts for the latter.
In my 13 years of keeping aquariums, I've always had this product handy. Good luck.

Marina Decorative Gravel - 1 lbs
Buy Marina Decorative Gravel - 1 lbs Now
Great, quality product. I have a 5 gallon octagon tank and only bought 1 bag of this gravel, not nearly enough. I think you should get 1 bag per gallon. Holds it's color well too. Definately recommend.Dirty when I bought. Turned to powdery crap after cleaning the tank a few times. I would never buy anything of this brand againThe rocks came very fast, that's the only good part. After i washed the rocks and put them in my fish tank, it started to lose color in a week. Not safe for the fishes and just waste of money.. Just go to pet storeSaturday, September 13, 2014
Cozy Cave Pet Bed in Poly Cotton
Excellent choice for a dog that loves to root around. Great !
Buy Cozy Cave Pet Bed in Poly Cotton Now
I bought the large bed for our 48lb Basset Hound. It's a good fit for her, but I think next time I'll go with the extra large bed since she likes to stretch out once in a while. We had to help her get in it a couple of times, but now she's figured it out. Our Basset is a spoiled girl with four beds to chose from around the house, but now she only uses this bed. Also, she sleeps all night in this bed and doesn't try anymore to jump into our bed. I would highly recommend this bed for a Basset Hound, but get the extra large.Read Best Reviews of Cozy Cave Pet Bed in Poly Cotton Here
Don't let the size-name description fool you; a LARGE bed of this type will not fit a LARGE dog. I ordered a "large" bed, and my 2 dogs are each just a little over 60 pounds (medium-large) but neither one of them could fit into the "cave" part of the bed. It's expensive to return, and so unfortunately I will not be trying the extra-large size for fear that it will also incur the extra cost of returning. Just pay very close attention to the measurements of the bed; you may want to get the next size up from what the description may make you believe. ( For example, I doubt that it's possible for a really large 80-100 pound dog, such as a big male Lab, Rotty or similar, to be comfortably accommodated by even the X-Large size Cozy Cave, unless your dog enjoys a very tight fit.)OTHERWISE, I will say that the bed is of very high quality. If your dog can fit, it really is an extremely nice bed; very plump and cozy, indeed.I ordered this for my 6 months old Beagle puppy... This is the THIRD bed i order for him, the others are in the garbage because he would chew them, drag them around, shred them to pieces. NOT SO with this one! At first he didn't know what to do with it, so i snuck little treats all the way in... He went in looking for the treats with his hound nose and once he was in he couldn't resist lying down...and since then it has been pure bliss. I take the bed with me in whatever room i am in, and he furrows in, liesdown and snoozes. When he comes out he does not try to chew eat or destroy it. I plead guilty for having the dog sleep at the foot of my bed since i adopted him... Last night for the first time he slept in his own bed without complains... Of course the bed was in our bedroom because he likes to sleep near us. I am definitely very satisfied with this bed and i recommend it. I ordered the large, and my beagle is about 28 pounds. It is the perfect size for him.

Coralife 05476 Square Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 96-Watt, 10K

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.

Coralife Turbo-Twist Ultraviolet Sterilizer
Buy Coralife Turbo-Twist Ultraviolet Sterilizer Now
This is the best purchase I've ever made for my 500 liters fresh water tank.After just two days the water is crystal clear as if it had just been changed.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it does not come with a pump thus it must be installed in line with a sump or canister filter.
In my case, I installed it on my Fluval Canister outlet as I was afraid the flow rate of my sump would be too high.
It would be nice if it had an integrated pump with the ideal flow rate for it but it is still an excellent buy and does exactly what it says it does: gets your water really really clear!

This thing is amazing and very easy to install. I found the instructions to be ok but once you look at it you should know what needs to be done. This thing zaps everything that goes through it and I haven't had and algae bloom since I've had it on and I have hundreds of plants with grow lamps, so it's pretty impressive!!!!One thing before purchase, just make sure what size you are getting matches your flow rate of filter...just because it says it can handle the size of tank ayou have doesn't mean it matches your flow rate and that's the most important part.My Turbo Twist is great...the water is beautiful & clear. I am having a slight problem with Ich on my Powder Blue Tang, but they are very sensitive fish anyway. I do still love my water being clear!
Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red
Buy Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red Now
AquaStik Epoxy is really good at some applications, and really not great at others. Firstly, it's fantastic at affixing your live rock in a reef tank or FOWLR. It's not so great at affixing a plug for a frag into the live rock unless you have holes that it can squish into. If you're trying to get a piece of coral on a plug stuck into a more difficult area, you're going to end up frustrated with this epoxy. It has a very weak hold and even when applied if you have larger fish (or in my case an eel) they will eventually knock the entire piece of coral free.Another drawback is the smell and the fact you have to hand mix the putty together, if you have sensitive skin it will burn your fingers and be very uncomfortable. If you don't, you'll still notice the heat. It's very easy to over mix the epoxy in which case you've rendered it useless. The stench is incredible (as should be expected) so the entire application can become unpleasant. I tend to think that aquascaping should be an enjoyable thing, even if you're peppering in profanity because a rock is shifting or your coral doesn't look "just right". You don't need to muck it up with further with stinging fingers and an acrid smell.
A plus is that it does really mimic the appearance of purple/red coralline algae so it will blend in if your live rock is sufficiently covered. Another is that because of its impermanent nature in an active reef tank you are just using it long enough for coral to grow into/onto the rock. If you're looking for a better solution with more varied uses than a putty I'd suggest CorAffix Cyanoacrylate Adhesive or CorAffix Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Gel 0.7 oz..

I ordered this to repair a pump (Hydor Korlia 3) because it broke from its magnetic base. I put it on and it looks great in my tank. But there are some problems i have had with it. For one it smells HORIBLE when you are using it. If you ever used mighty putty then you know what i am talking about. Also when applying it and it is very loose. But all-in-all it does what it says and gets the job done.Want Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red Discount?

only thing is, it's kind of ugly, and a very garish color. If it were a darker more muted color, it would blend in better, which I would prefer.

Was a little scared of ordering this because of the up and down reviews, but I love it. Has been working like a charm for over 2 months and is very quiet. I don't even remember it is on.Want AirPod® Aquarium Air Pumps, UL Approved Discount?
This has been a great Upgrade from the Whisper air pump.The Air Pod is silent ! Has a dual air output's allowing to power two bubble walls in a large aquarium with one Air Pump ! This feature alone is a selling point for any one with a 55 gallon or above aquarium as you can use one Bubble wall and also power a water feature. or just Power two Bubble walls " Options !" But to top it off the Air flow is adjustable as well.
The Silence and Power of this air pump is what blew me away after using a Whisper for the last 10 years. It was like opening Pandora's Box I set there for a second kind of tilted my head like a confused Mutt... Then smiled and said wow I should have bought this Years Ago !
I am completely happy with this purchase and would buy it again !

Despite regularly running low on water, I have yet to ever have a problem. I had to reroute about half the water from the output back into the bucket because even on its lowest setting it was still way to powerful. The adjustment works pretty well, though doesn't go so low. I am pumping water from floor level to a foot above table level about 10 feet away. With half the water rerouted and in every other way trying to limit the water flow, I still cycle my system about every 7 minutes (about 10 gallons). This is less than half its capability as previously stated.Want Marineland NJ1100 Maxi-Jet Submersible Utility Pump, 21-Watt, 294 GPH Discount?
This pump is great. Just by holding this pump you can tell that it is high quality. Much, much, much better than the pumps at Lowes. It seems to me that the rated pumping capacity is pretty accurate, which is not the case with the pumps at Lowes. This pump moves more water than another pump which is rated for twice as much capacity.Wednesday, December 25, 2013

Buy Catalina Aquarium CA 3000 Aquarium Pump 1000 GPH Now
I bought this to up the flow to my sump. It has an automatic thermostat that turns off when it gets too hot, then back on when it cools down. In 80 degree water that's very 10 minutes. So, it either has a bad self cooling design or the thermostat is super sensitive. I don't need a filter that turns itself off every 10 mins for 5 mins at a time. I'm 50/50 on whether to return it or use the feature as a wave maker in the tank. I prefer a high current in my freshwater 125, so this would put a nice kick up every 10 minutes then relax.Read Best Reviews of Catalina Aquarium CA 3000 Aquarium Pump 1000 GPH Here
