Bought the small carrier for my son's rabbit (a relatively small rabbit, around 5 pounds). It fit the rabbit well, and would also be a good size for a very small dog or small cat. Nice padded bottom, high quality vinyl, and good ventilation, but I'll get another brand, as I can't afford to keep buying new carriers every few months.

I wouldn't use this for any fish but it was great for my little Marimo before it started to get a little bigger. I also used one to hold my little ghost shrimp before putting in the 5 gal tank after I was sure it wouldn't give any diseases or anything. That's about all I used this little thing for.Read Best Reviews of Marina Girl Theme Betta Fish Aquarium Bonus Pack Here

Pennplax Red Bonsai Tree Aquarium Decor, 8-Inch
I found that the back of the pot and the base of the tree were rather ugly (in my opinion), so I put the ornament as deep into the sand as possible. Cuts down on the height but it looks great.

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Simple (outdated) non-regulated LED circuit 7 LEDs in a group with a 180ohm resistor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.

Tetra 77853 Whisper Air Pump, 40-Gallon
For the money this is a good little air pump. Although I do have to say that after around the 4 month mark like everyone else giving a review here it got very noisy.
Don't worry there is a fix! Unscrew the 4 Philips head screws under the unit and separate the bottom and the top. You will find a stack of "L" shaped magnets. Move the stack a bit to the right and tighten the nut that holds the "L" shaped magnets in place. Put it back together and ta-da no more noise! The Problem is that the little arm that holds the square shaped magnet is hitting the "L" shaped magnets with every pump. All you have to do is give it some space so it doesn't hit the other stack of magnets. The nut might not have be tight enough when they built it or it rattled loose during normal use allowing the stack of magnets to slip a bit.
All in all this is a pretty good pump. Just wish Tetra would pay closer attention to the little things.I bought one of these for my 29 gallon tank to use with a bubble wand. It was easy to set up and worked fine for two days. On the third day, when I came home from work, the first thing I heard when I walked in the front door was a loud buzzing sound. I followed the buzz to find out that it was the air pump. It wasn't the pump itself vibrating against the shelf it was on, but the motor of the pump. My aquarium is towards the back of the house, so for me to hear it as soon as I walked in tells you it was pretty loud. On top of that, there was only a small amount of air coming out of the bubble wand. I figured I'd just gotten a defective one, so I returned it and got a replacement. It worked great for about a month and a half until it woke me up this morning making the same exact loud buzz that the first one did. Low airflow to the bubble wand as well. Unfortunately, it broke after the store's return period expired, so now I can either deal with the manufacturer (which is always fun) or just count my losses and move on.
Would not recommend to others.

Marina Aquarium Showcase Bulb, 15-Watt, 120-Volt, Clear
When the bulb went out, I headed to the local pet store to pick up a replacement no dice, they don't carry them.
Then to both Petco and Petsmart again no dice they don't carry these but both suggested to try Home depot.
So off to Home Depot they carry this size bulb but the lowest wattage is 25 which would throw off far to much heat. I bought one anyway to give poor "Gill" a little much needed light.
But in twenty minutes the temperature, as expected began to rise.
I don't know why I didn't check Amazon to begin with after all we buy virtually everything else here. In fact out of my 120 reviews I would guess 40% are devoted to dog and aquarium supplies go figure.
Sure enough, here they are on Amazon for a mere $3.99 plus with my Prime membership they were shipped via free two day shipping.
The bulbs arrived in perfect condition and are shipped carefully and fast, I purchased a few just to have replacements on hand and considering how difficult these are to find, you'll most likely want to do the same.
5 FINS UP!

TaoTronics TT-AL02 Black Aquarium Coral Reef Tank LED Grow Light (120W Output, Blue/White Ratio- 30
I put a couple of layers of black window screen between the light and the tank so I won't alarm my fish too much in the first couple of days. It's really, really bright without the screen.
The fans are a little noisier than I expected, even after reading others' reviews (of the TT-AL01 model, which is the same thing but with a white case).
I like that the blue and white lights have separate cords so you can plug them into separate timers. Note that the plugs have three prongs, so the timers will need to have three holes where you plug the lights into them.
If you can live without a dimmable, programmable LED fixture, this one seems like a good, basic light.

Deep Blue Professional ADB12881 Bettastik Sub Heater for Aquarium, Mini, 7.5-watt
Buy Deep Blue Professional ADB12881 Bettastik Sub Heater for Aquarium, Mini, 7.5-watt Now
I love the look and simplicity of these, and now have 4 of them for our several small tanks. We bought 7.5 watt, 15W and 30W versions, and put them in tanks of the appropriate size (1-6 gallons).I've noticed that one tank near our radiator is running 82-83 degrees, so I put a lower wattage one in. Same thing, 82 degrees.
Apparently these are NOT "Pre-programmed" with a set temperature in any way. They're just always on.
This means that the will keep your coffee piping hot if you stick it in a small mug, or keep an aquarium sorta warm, depending on the size of the tank and the temperature of your house.
Since all the Heat Stik and Betta Stik heaters we bought all look identical, with no markings to show which is which, I bought a digital electrical meter today and measured them: 7.5W, 7.5W, 7.5W, 7.5W....
They're ALL THE SAME. So not only is the idea of a preset thermostatic control complete bunk, but they're packaging the same product as different things.I thought this would be great for my tiny desk aquarium, but there is no off switch. So, when left on, the water temp went to 86 degrees. When off, it fell to 68 degrees. So, I purchased a timer. It has "teeth" every 1/2 hour that you can set to go on or off. So, I set the heater to go on and off for an hour at a time every 24 hours. This seemed to do the trick and the water temp is at a constant 80 degrees now. That's all you need to do for this product to perform perfectly!

I bought two of these heaters, for appropriate sized betta tanks. Shortly after adding the heaters, both bettas died. Prior to that they'd both been healthy since I purchased them. I don't believe the tanks got too hot as I repeatedly checked the tank thermometers. It was probably due to user error, but still I wonder. BTW, they are glass so are breakable. I prefer the plastic paddle type heaters now and have had much better luck with them.Sunday, March 9, 2014

Buy PondCare Melafix Liquid Remedy - 64 FL OZ (1.89 liters) Now
I have a large (450 gal) freshwater African Cichlid tank. If you have a large tank it is much cheaper to buy aquarium water conditioners, medications, etc. made for ponds. The only difference it that the chemical is more concentrated so you end up using less/gallon.I generally use Pimafix if I see any visible damage and I use Melafix more often as a regular water treatment. I am pleased with the results.Read Best Reviews of PondCare Melafix Liquid Remedy - 64 FL OZ (1.89 liters) Here
I started a pond and was clueless...2nd season had issues with flashing fish. I bought this... but I think if I had learned about salt before this the salt alone might have solved my issues. This messed up the growth of some of my water plants (but I was well warned before hand) so I can't blame the product.
Just try salt... once you do that... then this stuff is good to have

It may seem silly to offer a review of this stuff, but without it , my pondfish would never survive some of the issues that occur in the lawnpond.

Marineland DJ100 Duetto Internal Multi-Filter for up to 20-Gallon, up to 92 GPH
Mini up to 10 gallon 2-40 GPH 2-1/2" x 1-3/8" x 5-3/4"
DJ-50 10 gallon 13-66 GPH 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 5-1/2"
DJ-100 20 gallon 27-92 GPH 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 7-1/4"
These filters have all the necessities: a prefilter/mechanical, a biological filter, a carbon/chemical filter and an air intake that allows the air to mix with the water that comes out of the spout. It is also an extremely quiet filter as long as you keep the pour spout below the water line (to prevent the sound of the water splashing). The only slight problem that I can find is that a tiny amount of air leaks around the seal between the filter media container and the top section, but this isn't a big deal since the water level will almost always be lower then this seal. It's also an efficient filter that produces less heat then most others.
You can use the filter as a pump by removing the pour spout and plugging in a hose that has an inner diameter of 1/2".I don't know about fancy aquarium stuff, but I love this filter. You put it in, the tank gets clean and you don't have to clean it as often as the cascade ones! I love it (and the fish do too!)

Ideal for medium to small tanks.I use it in my fry tanks, with a net covering the water entrance when the baby fish are too small.Really, this device can serve three purposes: it pumps and moves water around (at various power levels), it filters (with 3 stage filtration), and it can mix air with water, so that your aquarium can be properly aerated. In order to take in air, this filter has a sort of a snorkel with a screw-in cap that allows you to regulate the quantity of air being sucked in. The snorkel stays above the water surface, so there is always a reliable supply of air available.
I mean, you get one device that replaces up to three separate contraptions that all would require maintenance, supplies, space, and, of course, electricity.
This filter also requires some maintenance that is easy to perform. Note: never use any harsh chemicals on this device and its filter media. Especially avoid using Windex, because you do not want to kill the biofilter and you do not want any more ammonia in your fish tank!
There are three pieces of filter media in this device: the primary (rough) mechanical filter, the biofilter, and a self-contained basket-like activated carbon filter.
The activated carbon filter piece is a tightly-capped plastic container that needs to be replaced entirely every 4 to 8 weeks. However, there is a way to open the cap on this container. Then you may be able to replace the activated carbon granules with any separately purchased granules or with a mixture of carbon and zeolite. But, if you do not perform this procedure accurately enough, then your might face some cleanup problems or the impeller could get damaged.
The filter is reasonable quiet, unless you run it at the extreme lowest or highest throughput mode. Every setting in between is fairly quiet. It hardly takes up any space inside a tank. Plus, you do not have to modify your tank's cover to accommodate this kind of filter, because it stays completely or mostly submerged with nothing hanging over the edge of your tank.
Note: a brand-new filter may contain some oil inside its pumping assembly, so just rinse it with running water before installing this device for the first time. The manufacturer states that the motor is completely sealed with epoxy, so I guess that you do not have to worry about the motor.
BTW, the fish find this filter to be a great entertainment piece.

I've been using this in a 20 gal aquarium with tetras, platys, swordtails, etc for over a year and it's been great. I dont hesitate to recommend this filter. It works well and I've never had trouble. I keep it completely submerged so the tank is quiet. You can leave it up above the water a little to create more current, and if you want you can open the little port that lets air mix into the water too. The only reason I dinged it one star is because it cost me about $12-15 every time I have to replace the three different cartridges depending on where I shop to get the parts. I wish it were cheaper for those parts, such as maybe they could sell multi-packs/bulk packs, etc. The carbon cartridges come in a two pack but the sponges dont. So just keep that in mind when you are planning for long term maintenance. This is a very solid filter and overall I love it.Friday, December 27, 2013

If you have an LED Light or Black light, it should make the background look even better.its okay...i tried itand stuff but it was dark and if u dont have the theme toys with it its not that cool looking also the dark background dont light up or 'shine" ur acquarium so i dont think u should get it if u ask my opinion
