Bio Bubble Aquarium Bundle

BioBubble Aquarium Bundle, BlackI was hoping that this would be a better home for my daughter's betta fish than a standard crappy tank from petsmart. It's not. There are a lot of flaws with the design. Filters are only available online and you have to pay $7 shipping. Gravel can get caught in the seams in below the tank that are impossible to get out that makes the latch barely stick that holds the tank down. Sometimes if i walk in the room the latch will come undone an the tank will pop up. I'm overweight but I don't need a fish tank telling me that. It also happens with my 50 lbs daughter so I don't feel so bad.

And then you find out the real problem. Since its plastic, it flexes. Since it flexes, if you get close to filling the tank up the full way, when you close the tank, water shoots out of the top. Nothing I like more than getting sprayed by skanky fish water.

Totally disappointed with the overall design on what should have been a superior tank.

I bought the bio bubble before the holidays as a family gift. It is a big hit! We have three goldfish that the kids love to watch. I love that everything was incorporated. Filter, light (in our set although I think it could be extra normally) and the fact that it is easy to clean is a huge plus! Customer service is also amazing! We had an issue insertion ting the rubber tube when putting this together, called and left a message on a Sunday night and got a call back in 30 min (even though by that point we had figured it out). Also, I accidentally dropped the dome when cleaning and the rubber gasket somehow tore. Causing a leak. I called customer service and got a new gasket delivered in less then a week! This is our first tank and I highly recommend! I want to get one for each of the kids!

Sporn Nylon Non Pulling Dog Harness, Large/X-Large, Red

Sporn Nylon Non Pulling Dog Harness, Large/X-Large, RedI got this and was excited to use it. I put it on my boxadore. Which was not easy to put on him. once it was on my two year old boxadore we went for a quick walk around the block. It didn't work as well as it says. The nylon ripped right in half, and he wasn't even really pulling hard that time. It was helping him not pull as much with in the first 5 minutes he was using it before it ripped. This isn't made to last strong muscular dogs like boxers. I duck taped the straps back together with black duck tape and layered it strong. Now it works again. He still pulls when my husband takes him for a walk,but it does hellp some.

This is a nicely made harness, other than the sherpa slipping out from under my dog's armpits, as noted in other reviews of other sizes. That could be fixed with a few stitches. However, even without the sherpa (so the rope would be harsher against the tender armpit skin) this does NOTHING to reduce my dog's pulling. He is trained to walk on a slack leash next to me, but is dog reactive on leash and has pulled me over lunging at other dogs. He's an 85-pound Boxer and Ridgeback mix. I know to keep a safe distance and can focus him into a sit/stay if I see one coming, but sometimes one walks unexpectedly around a corner. That's why I got this harness, but it is totally ineffective, as is every other anti-pull harness I've tried. This one at least I have a little bit of control, unlike the ones that have the leash attachment in the front, but the ring for attaching the leash is at the end of the rope loop, so even walking him using my leash's handle which is next to the leash clip, I am still a foot farther away from him than on a regular collar I use a martingale collar so he won't slip away. Oh well! I'll donate it to a rescue, its not a bad harness for a dog that doesn't pull.

It didn't work for the 75 lb. female -

But it's working great for the 40 pounder.

Definitely diminishes the pulling.

Easy to put on fully adjustable love that the sherpa is included to prevent cutting in the "armpit" keeps you off the dog's neck while giving control

I read the reviews and bought one. My german shepherd mix just wouldn't respond to it like I had hoped. She pulled like mad and I had to go back to the Gentle Leader...I did buy the SPorn Head Halter though and it works perfectly for my girl! Better than the Gentle Leader...

This is a great price for a bulk amount of air line.

AquaTop Aquarium Fish Net 7" - Flexible FN7M- Medium Hole Mesh

AquaTop Aquarium Fish Net 7' - Flexible FN7M- Medium Hole MeshI am sure the net is a good net, my issue is how it's presented. They call it a 7" net. The package states, "net dimensions 9.8x8". I am confused. I wanted a net that would fit in a 9" hole, so I bought the 7". The net holder (metal square) is 10 1/2 x 8. Why is it called a 7"!

A sturdy net. I bought this to have a flexible ended net to skim the bottom of a small pond. Also has survived the kid's abuse.

Como Aquarium Landscaping Ceramic Gray Green Barrel Design Ornament

Como Aquarium Landscaping Ceramic Gray Green Barrel Design OrnamentMy wife and I searched high and low from the major pet stores to local stores and online for the right size aquarium landscape barrel design ornament for our Crowntail Male Betta. We had limited space in our vase as it was a decorative vase with a small bottom that had to share space with the natural bamboo plant that is placed in the center. After a couple of days our Betta absolutely loves the barrel and now we rarely if ever see him at all, because he loves this aquarium barrel! Thanks uxcell!

Tetra Crescent Acrylic Aquarium Kit

Tetra Crescent Aquarium Kit, 5-GallonMy Betta fish looks extremely happy into this 3g tank; I just regret I didn't buy the 5g version.

The Whisper Micro Filter works SO good, it has a Flow Control system which allows me to select a very low flow, perfect for bettas!

Unfortunately, the tank comes with a "medium" size filter, which is way TOOOOO big for the small tank. I know there is a "small" version of the Whisper Micro Filter, so I don't understand why Tetra didn't bundle it with this tank instead of the Medium size. :-S

The tank itself looks crystal clear, acrylic made, very resistant, and easy to clean. I recommend you to buy a special acrylic cleaner sponge since regular sponges will scratch it.

I was speechless when I first turned the LED Lighting Lamp ON, it is magnificent! Perfect room lightning at night. LEDs technology is awesome, it doesn't only lights better, but it saves a lot of energy compared to regular bulbs.

I love all Tetra products! They are definitely the best.

Don't get me wrong by the three stars. This tank is great but the filter set up is not a good one. The design of the items for the tank make everything fit perfectly. There is even a slot for a heater cord. The problem is the filter mount when used has the top of the filter to high in the tank so that the top of the filter is the same level with the top of the open tank thus can SLOWLY leak water along the mount to the outside of the tank. Bottom line is use the suction cups only and you will be happy. Had I really known about how this filter worked I would have gone with something like a fluval U1 or U2.

As a first aquarium, it's pretty terrible. As a tank purchased purely for the fun of experimentation, with the hopes of re-homing some guppies, it's decent, and I don't regret the purchase. (I agree with the folks who say that bigger is better, for your first. Three gallons is harder to maintain, and is very, very limiting when it comes to fish selection, if you want them to live in a comfortable, happy environment. This tank has other problems, though, so if you are looking for your first aquarium, keep reading.)

The filter (Tetra Whisper Micro, not 3i ... good luck finding cartridges) is half-way decent, and it is inevitably, being made of plastic, had marks in it. After cutting the surge protector on and off, the filter only half worked and I had to move it up to full power (no, do not run your filter on full power this is why people are having trouble with it and set it low on the hook). The hook is covering a suction hole remember this when you take it out for any reason, or you will have water everywhere. Don't use it without the hook, or the filter will sit on the bottom, and that's where its intake is located.

I am hoping a small power filter, such as the one Azoo makes, will fit the space. I haven't measured to be sure, yet. If not, I suppose I'll use a small sponge filter ("Lee's Round Dual-Action Foam Filter" is sold by Amazon, as are replacement sponges, and is supposed to be good for tanks up to 5gal UPDATE: I am now using this filter, and I like it a lot better). The given filter takes up a lot of space if you plan on putting any ornaments in. I just want plants. I might put a small shelter in.

That all being said, I have mine set up as a low-light dirted environment (more gravel, less dirt under the filter), and my microsword is relatively happy (it needs a stronger light, but at least it is growing). I would recommend this as a functional, but not perfect, guppy tank. It's bright, attractive, and retains some moisture in the form of condensation.

I would use light-colored substrate. Don't use sand, as the filter will likely suck it up. I have dark blue, red, and green gravel, and it just absorbs all the light. If I were to start it over, I would try white or beige gravel, or Caribsea's Torpedo Beach substrate, as it looks like it will be very attractive, and seems like it might be heavy enough to not be sucked up. I'm using Sunset Gold sand, now, in another tank, and I like it. Maybe some more plants or some decoration will brighten it up.

As for the top of the tank, yes, it does fit after water is added. It comes off easily enough; though, for maintenance purposes, the light needs to come off, as well. I would *not* use this tank without the lid. There would be nothing to protect the LEDs from condensation, and I have already, on a past setup, lost a tank light (an incandescent, which I do not wish to ever own again) to such cheap construction. The lid is specifically designed for the given filter, and has a hole on the other side of the light (which you mount to the tank), should you wish to add a heater (Hydor's Mini 7.5 Watt, for 2-5 gallons, is probably the only thing that will fit it works to a set number of degrees on top of what you have, so monitor). This could also be a good entry hole for piping, such as for air or a DIY CO2 system.

The pictures are deceptive: the light comes all the way to the feed hole and pretty much covers the top of the tank. It is a bright but bulky thing, and for the brightness, has no power. Good for energy, medium-to-low level for plants.

This 3 gallon tank has been great. The filter is very quiet, but is very powerful. The tank has not required much cleaning because the filter is rated for tanks much bigger than 3 gallons. The downside is that the filter itself is big, so it takes up more room in the tank. The shape of the tank allows for a great presentation, but it does not take up much room. The only complaint I have with the tank is the the top that is provided does not fit on very easily. Overall a great small tank!!!

I just got this tank a few days ago, and so far I like it a lot for my betta. He seems to be happy with all the extra space, and it is an attractive setup. I have to say that based on other reviews there are apparently two versions of this tank. Mine is a Marineland Crescent, some others have reviewed an Eclipse kit. It appears the Eclipse unit has the filter installed in the hood. My Marineland kit came with a Whisper filter that is WAY too big for this tank. It seems to function well, but blows my betta around the tank and he stays to the side opposite the filter while it is running. It seems absurd that Tetra didn't put a smaller filter with this kit. Unless I can ever find a small filter that works well and is gentle enough for a betta, my fish will have to deal with this huge filter a couple hours a day so his water can be cleaner. Also, if you use the clip to hang the filter over the edge of the aquarium, it is too high, making it sit above the water level. You will need to remove the clip, and use the suction cups so you can position the filter lower. The kit comes with an extra suction cup for the top half of the filter, but it does not fit in the hole so you will need to stick something in it, like a key, to widen it out enough to fit the suction cup. The top lid fits just so-so, but does provide ample opening to fit even the big filter plus a heater, so the lid doesn't sit on top of the cords. There is also an open area toward the front of the lid to feed the fish. The LED lighting is bright and provides a pleasing view of the aquarium. For installing the light fixture, there are two screws provided to attach the clamp. Be careful not to twist the screws too tight. I did screw one in too tight, which caused a little crack in the aquarium. This is an an excellent tank so far, but can't give it 5 stars because of the ridiculously big filter.

***UPDATE 6/29/12*** The other day while re-positioning the filter, I discovered that there is actually a switch on the back of the filter at the bottom that allows you to adjust the flow-which I obviously missed before. I set it at minimum and my betta seems mostly ok with it on. I'm going to run it most of the day, and turn it off at night so he can sleep well...and see how that goes.

***UPDATE*** 8/8/12 A few weeks ago I took out the big Tetra filter, and replaced it with the Azoo Mignon Filter, which I bought on Amazon. It sits outside the tank, has adjustable flow, is very quiet, and is easy maintenance. When set the right way, there is practically no current from the flow and I leave it running 24/7. Strongly recommend it.

biOrb Small Color Ball 3 Pack (Red, Orange, Purple)

biOrb Small Color Ball 3 PackIf you are going for a brightly colored tank, this is a winner. I love how the weighted bottom makes cleaning the tank super easy. When you suction the bottom of the tank, you don't have to try to reanchor them when you are done. Make sure to suction them out too. They tend to gather "gunk" in them over time.

I put these in my 10 galon tank and I am so pleased. I wanted the tank to pop and this definitely did it!

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Gravel

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon GravelThis is by far one of my favorite substrates. I have used CaribSea Cichlid substrate in the past for my African cichlid aquarium but, before it settles completely, it often gets in the filter motor causing it to get extremely hot. The air stones/line in the tank also disturb this substrate giving the water a slightly cloudy appearance. The Instant Aquarium has a perfect granular size and I have had no fish loss in previous uses leading me to believe it works as well as it claims. I do have to increase the pH levels using other materials but it definitely beats replacing my filter unit. It's easy to clean and once settled, it remains settled. The water is always crystal clear. Definitely recommend this product!

This gravel is great. It is coarser than sand which is what we wanted. Also, it is a gorgeous shimmery black which makes our fishes colors look beautiful! It was enough for our smaller 5 gallon tank, plus we had some left over.

API Replacement Test Tubes with Caps

API Replacement Test Tubes with CapsThe picture is not what I got. What I got was the API testtubes which I am happy with. They are the exact same that came with all the API tests that I already have. And to make your life easier if you have a bunch of these get one of these: "Karter Scientific 208V2 Plastic Test Tube Rack for 12/13mm Tubes, Holds 50, Detachable" Its a perfect fit.

If you use the API test kits then you may want to get these to go along with it. These are simply replacement tubes for the API kit so they are the exact same as what comes in the kit (clear tube with a 5 ml mark and a cap). And since they are somewhat fragile you will eventually need some replacements. Also helps out to have multiple test tubes if you are testing multiple tanks at once, in my case, 6. Its a lot easier filling a bunch of tubes at once for testing than using, rinsing and reusing the same few tubes over and over for one batch of tests.
