Snoozer-Large Lookout Dog Car Seat
Hubby and I took Benny out for several one-hour trial runs over the past few weekends and Benny seems to love this seat. First of all, it boosts him up high enough so that he can comfortably look out the window (while still being safely tethered to the seat). Second, having ordered the larger model, he can stretch out and sit or sleep without being cramped. And third, and most important, is that while wearing his comfortable, stretchy Puppia harness, we can tether him to the seat belt, which secures the car seat just like a child's car seat. This gives Benny enough "give" to move from side to side in the seat, but in the event of slamming on the brakes, he'll stay secured and not end up a hood ornament (hopefully lol).
Be warned this model is BIG. I have it in the back seat (2nd row) of my SUV and it takes up half the seat. Instead of room for 3 people, there's now room for only 1. No bother. He's my only "kid". This is my second purchase of this item and I have to say it is one of the best purchases I've ever made!! We've been using this seat in both of our cars for years and hands down the quality is excellent! The height is just right for a car or SUV, the drawer is nice for stowing potty bags, baby wipes, extra leashes,etcthere is a lot of room in the drawer. This seat will sit two small dogs just fine. The design of the seat to allow for the car seat to be belted in with the seatbelt on the vehicle is fantastic! It's obvious that serious thought went into designing that safety feature. In those moments when you have to suddenly apply your brakes, the car seat WILL stay in place if your car seatbelt is used properly to secure it in place. If you don't use your seatbelt it won't. It's no different than fastening a child car seat. It's just a matter of common sense to belt the product in. I have purchased dog seat belts from a local pet store to use with the car seat and it works perfectly to keep my dogs safe and secure. I highly recommend this care seatit WONDERFUL!!!

Our 35lb Beagles loves to crawl up in his new couch, lay down, and watch the scenery go by. Couch seems to be built well and we love the hidden storage box at the bottom.Read Best Reviews of Snoozer-Large Lookout Dog Car Seat Here
I have two small dogs who often travel with me in the car and who have a tendency to not sit still during the entire trip. I had previously had a dog car seat that resembled a plastic tub with foam inside and a cover on top of it. It worked for a short period of time, but due to the design of it and my dogs moving around, it always tipped over. I finally talked myself into getting a Buddy Lookout car seat, and I'm so glad I did. Not only is it stable and comfortable for them, but it also allows them to move around without me worrying if it will fall over. The dogs actually enjoy the ride more now because they are so elevated, they are able to see everything outside where as before they had to stand on their hindlegs in order to look out the window. I also feel much better knowing that they are secure in their seat and that if I need to brake suddenly that they are not going to go flying into the backside of my driver seat. It's also much safer for me now because I don't have to worry about the dogs wanting to try to get in my lap while I'm driving which has almost caused a few mishaps in the past!Want Snoozer-Large Lookout Dog Car Seat Discount?
I have a mini-Schnoodle and a mini-labradoodle (15 lb each); they fit comfortably into the LARGE Outlook Pet Car Seat. This fleece-lined ultra comfy car seat puts my pups up high enough to supervise the world as we drive by, and close enough for me to reach back and interact with them, all while keeping them safely harnessed in. They both have room enough to curl up for a nap too.I secure the pet car seat with a seatbelt across 2 seats. I decided to anchor tethers (6' dollar store leashes adjusted for each dog) from the trunk area up under the head rests for one car (threaded through the seat crack on my other car) instead of using the ones that go onto the seatbelt. I leave the tethers in the cars and can easily swap the seat between our cars as desired.
The handy hidden drawer is large enough for small food/water dishes, a brush, kibble, treats, and clean-up bags. We're ready to hit the road for adventure! The cover is machine washable, so it always looks nice. I bought mine in Highland Maize, and the quiet blue-gray plaid is attractive with my upholstery. Happy dogs! Happy owner!

Easy to read. Easy to install. Uses AAA battery so easy to replace. Has Light and Time buttons as well.By my estimate is that this is two degrees cooler than true. I tried changing the batteries; no change. Too bad. No tech support. No manner to calibrate this.Tuesday, July 8, 2014

Laguna PowerHeat Heated De-Icer for Ponds - 315W
When they worked, they worked just fine. I have a 1000 gallon pond in Colorado and was hoping to use two at a time to cut down on the ice build up, which I did until #2 died.
There is, without question, a design flaw in this product. They were used exactly as directed by the instructions. Buyer beware.This was my second Laguna pond heater. I returned the first under the two year guarantee (didn't last a winter). Laguna replaced the heater with this model and it worked perfectly from November until March and then quit. I cannot recommend. I wasted nearly $40 for constant problems. Choose another brand!

Use this in my Pennsylvania outdoor pond with very cold winters. Works well in keeping an opening in the ice. The light on top tells you it's working. My previous model didn't have this light so I find this very helpful.Want Laguna PowerHeat Heated De-Icer for Ponds - 315W Discount?
This pond heater worked great for our pond. It arrived fast and was well packaged. It has a long power cord and will reach from the deep end of our pond to the electrical outlet, which is about 8 feet and with cord to spare. I turns off when the water warms up so that it will not over heat either the unit or the pond. I highly recommend this heater.Friday, April 11, 2014
Hagen Marina Betta Aquarium Starter Kit, Sun Swirl
IN CONCLUSION: This tank is not cruelty. My fish was lively and making bubble nests when he lived there for three months, but in all honesty, a non-filtered tank requires WAY more maintenance, and if you slack off, you could end up seriously hurting or killing your fish. Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites, all things you need to be wary of, and it's so much easier to just get a proper tank, something with a thermostat heater and a filter. Betta need water between 75 and 80 degrees to live comfortably. They are tropical fish.
WALL MOUNTING: Yes, you can screw it to your wall, but then the tank part is removable from the wall mount, making for easy water changes. You do not have to unscrew and remove the whole thing from the wall to change the water. You simply lift the tank off of it's wall mount/stand, do your do, and place it back. SUPER SUPER easy! Props for that, it's the best wall mounted tank money can buy. If you're cool with the constant water changes, then go for it.Betta need at least 2.5 gallons and either need daily or every other day water changes without a filter (really just simpler to get a filter for the tank), and a water temperature between 70 and 80 degrees (so most need a heater). This tank doesn't really allow any of these requirements. Another reviewer said it wasn't cruelty and her betta was happy I sincerely disagree. Her fish may have been happier than it was, but that's because it has only been in breeding tanks (basically the size of this tank) and the cup you get him in from the store. He's happier than he was, but that isn't saying much, and he still won't be very happy in this setup. This allows for next to no decorations, which betta like since they provide hiding places and places to explore. The only thing I'd put in one of these is a marimo moss ball. It isn't worth the money, just look into a better tank setup so your betta can really be happy.

API Reef Master Test Kit
Still, I would definitely recommend this kit to anyone that has a reef tank.
Buy API Reef Master Test Kit Now
Simply put having a test kit is essential for any reef aquarium keeper. I only have a 28-gallon tall aquarium with just soft corals, a feather duster, a few damsels & a couple of cleaner shrimp. The API Reef Master Kit is well packaged and everything is labeled very clearly. I sometimes have difficulty interpreting the nitrate and phosphate tests as the results are limited to viewing color code charts of different shades of green and orange. For example when I conduct the test for nitrates, my resulting shade of green from my test tube is in the range of .50 to 1.0 as my best guess instead of .50 or 1.0.The instructions are very well written and easy to follow although I can't help, but notice API's intentional attempt at product placement by their brand. For example if your test kit yields a high result for phosphates, the instructions recommends that you purchase & use API's Phos-Zorb to help reduce phosphates in addition to conducting water changes & removing waste. If you have low calcium levels you can use API's Eco Calcium Marine to increase calcium levels. If your nitrates are high you can use API Tap Water Filter to help reduce nitrates in addition to water changes & the removal of waste.
Some other reviewers have complained about the absence of the ammonia test, but I have already owned API's ammonia test kit (with its different shades of yellow test results chart) that I used when I initially cycled my aquarium, so adding the reef master kit just supplemented to what I already have. Didn't need the instructions help to buy another API product for ammonia testing because I already did.
Overall an adequate test kit for the very important task of truly knowing what's in your aquarium water (or at least ballpark figure ranges) to help your corals, fish & invertebrates to thrive successfully.Has all the supplies you need and a case to keep it all in. I wish it had a quick instruction sheet for all the tests. The instruction book is very detailed and the testing is accurate. Highly recommend for testing your reef tank. A must have.nice price (few bucks less than LSF) very easy to use, booklet explains eveyrthing you need when starting a tank.

EHEIM Carbon Filter Pad for Classic External Filter 2211 (3 Pieces)
I try to change filter every two weeks. Though directions say it can last a month.
Super easy, no messy charcoal or sediment to worry about. No cloudy water.
Eheim is best external filter I've tried and may quite be the only one I'll trust.
There may be more expensive ones and more complicated, but eheim external filter tank serves my purpose well.
4 stars for cost at 9-10 $, unless found on sale.
They probably cost like 2-3 cents to make.

Our filter had been getting louder for months. It got to be annoying to be in the same room. I used to manage a pet shop where the owner bred fish. He told me that many people replace filters when it is just that the impeller has gotten beat up and off balance over the years, so we bought this. It fixed the problem, works great and was an inexpensive fix!Read Best Reviews of Tetra Usa ATS25870 Impeller Whisper Power filter, 60-Gallon Here

I learned the hard way.Read Best Reviews of Huge Aquarium Tank Protein Skimmer Filter w/ Power Pump Here
This skimmer far exceeded my expectation . It was very easy to set up . I've had it for a couple of weeks and I've had to clean out the skimmer cup a few times already. This thing actually started collecting skimmate within hours of assembly. This is a great value for the job it does. I would and have recommended this to all salt water hobbyists I know.Want Huge Aquarium Tank Protein Skimmer Filter w/ Power Pump Discount?
So far the skimmer works great. I only gave it four stars because of the design. The U shape design for the pump to the skimmer seems cheap. When the pump goes out I will replace it with one I can sit on the side and run it straight in. Other than that this was a great buy so far.Saturday, December 21, 2013

Good for aquarium maintenance if you keep african cichlids. Fish seen happy and adjusted in my fifty five gallon aquarium.Great product, I have been using it for many years, have not lost a fish yet due to water problems.This product does what it says on the bottle, which is to replicate the water conditions of Lake Malawi and other rift lakes in Africa. This product is for African Cichlids who like their water hard. I only add sparingly when doing a water change. I use no other salt in my tank except this product!Monday, December 16, 2013

Hydrofarm AS2FLEX 2-Feet Active Aqua Flexible Air Stone
I am impressed!I have 8 of these, they were nice when they were brand new. Now that they are about a year old, they barely work. They get clogged within a week and basically stop working. I ended up have to take a safety pin and poking holes every inch for it to function at all.
Buy Hydrofarm AS2FLEX 2-Feet Active Aqua Flexible Air Stone Now
I've used about 4 different styles of air stone and this one definitely has the potential to be the coolest:it sinks
it's flexible and light so easy to shape for your exact needs.
Unfortunately, it's the only one I have that keeps clogging. It's easy enough to clear it. But, every time it clogs I have to wonder how long it's been clogged and not doing it's job. It's not easy for me to check and see if it's working properly. And, there's no obvious reason for the clogging the water is totally clear no debris or anything. I don't get it.
It's a shame because I would have bought more I think the design is really clever.
Give it a try your mileage may vary...

This works like any other air stone, but is easier to place in the tank since it doesn't float up, and has no feet that need to be put into gravel to keep it from floating. Also, it is flexible, making it easy to fit in any tank configuration. After some use however, it does float at the free end. I'd probably use again because they are so easy to place and configure, but cosmetically it isn't the best.Want Hydrofarm AS2FLEX 2-Feet Active Aqua Flexible Air Stone Discount?
The bendability of this product makes it deff the best possible for air stones! I can put it anywhere my roots are to ensure proper oxygen bubble placement!I like this alot! shipped super fast
