Bags on Board litter bag refills come in rolls of 15 large bags. They are easy to put in the litter

Bags on Board Cat Scoop Refill Pack, 36 BagsSince these Bags on Board Cat Scoop Refills were offered at a ridiculously low price, I decided to take a chance that they would fit my doggie bag holders and they do fit both models I currently use! I planned to tie a roll onto the leash with a rope if they didn't fit, but no need. The bags are less stiff, thinner, are a prettier blue than the orange ones they've replaced, and I only wish I'd stocked up on more when the price was great. Because the bags are thinner, they are easier to maneuver, weigh less and take less time to degrade in the landfill where they will spend some time. I've never bought replacement rolls because it was too easy to use newspaper bags and deflated air pillows, but these are so much easier to carry and less distasteful for disposal. They are the same size as the dog bags and for the life of me, I can't imagine how a lot of heavy litter can fit in this bag. If you use it for a single scoop or two of just what needs to immediately be removed as I believe it is marketed, I can see how it would work well. These are not for emptying an entire tray of litter. Because these are really lightweight, they are perfect for the dog walking purpose. Usually using two bags per day, these will go quickly and I hope Amazon soon reduces the price to entice more of us dog lovers to take advantage of a product that's marketed to cat owners but is imprinted with pictures of little doggies.

I bought this to use with the dispenser for dogs. I don't know why this is only advertised as being able to be used with the cat scoop, it's almost half the price of the bags advertised for dogs!

Buy Bags on Board litter bag refills come in rolls of 15 large bags. They are easy to put in the litter Now

I bought the scoop and bags mostly for the bags being earth friendly. The bags are too small, sure they fit the scoop, but my cat pees all in one corner so the clump can get huge. Therefore won't fit in this narrow bag just wide enough for the scoop itself.

The scoop itself is ok, but I still have my old scoop and I prefer it because the litter flows throw my old scoop better than this one.

Bottom line: if you have a cat that makes just small to mediuim sized clumps, then this product might be ok. I personally find no value in having the bags inside the hande of the scoop. In fact I think the feel of the scoop is cumbresone.

These are the perfect size for a big or a small dog, they have never ripped, and I will be ordering more.

I like that these litter bags are a green product and will break down in the landfill. My only dislike is the bags are narrow in size. I use a bag lined coffee can to collect the soiled litter in. With two cats I have to scoop at least once, sometimes twice, a day. When it's full, I pull the bag and dispose in the garbage. These bags aren't wide enough to secure over the container. Otherwise, they are great.

Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater (10 w)

Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium HeaterThe thermostat is set to 68F rather than the advertised 76F. If 68 degrees is what you need then buy it but if you, just like me, need a constant 76-78 degrees then don't waste your time and money on this good looking heater because looks is all it has.

I just bought this stupid thing from Petsmart. I followed all of the instructions and the thing won't even turn on! It says that you put it in the water, plug it in, the light comes on and you're good to go. BUT NO! The light never came on and it's not putting out any heat. My poor betta is going to freeze for another week until I can get a different heater delivered. It's really hard to find a heater for a small tank less than 2 gallons. This one is supposed to be for tanks UP TO 2.65 gallons. I have a 1 gallon tank. *Sigh*

Buy Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater (10 w) Now

I just got this heater today from Petsmart since it was on sale and I was looking for a new heater. I had the Hydor Mini going, but because it only heats a few degrees above room temperature, it just wasn't good enough --we live in a house that gets very cold, and we have a space heater in the room that we only put on when we're home (thus, our room temperature would fluctuate a lot). Given, the Marina heater has been in for only a day, but my fish isn't huddled by the heater anymore and he is a lot more active. The water seems to be staying consistently at the correct temperature and I have a 2 gallon tank.

Edit: So I had it for a couple of months before it began to die. Then my poor betta would just sit next to it waiting for it to come on. I don't think I'd recommend this if you want a lasting heater.

I was suprised to read alot of the negative comments about the heater because I'm a very satisfied customer. I bought the 10 watt heater for my tropical fish tank. It's been a couple of months now, and still works like a charm. What I love most about it is that it has a unbreakable casing around it, unlike most heaters out there and a very affordable price. I really don't mind not being able to adjust the temp since with this model it's at a constant 78 deg. I'm upgrading from a 1.5 gal to a 10 gallon soon, and I'm buying two 25 watt Marina heaters, instead of another branded 50-watt out there, because I know its reliable. The 10 watt even helped my fish through an episode of Ich, so no complaints here at all.

After purchasing this heater at Petsmart for my 1 gallon betta tank, I read the Amazon reviews and became disheartened, but tried it anyways. My room gets pretty cold, and the tank sits on top of the fridge next to the window where it is drafty (where else can you put it in a 3 person dorm room!?!?), so the temperature fluctuates between 76 and 77. It works perfectly, hides behind my black filter, and is made of sturdy materials. A happy betta lives here!

Wardley Safe 2 O Water Conditioner 4 Ounce

Wardley Safe 2 O Water Conditioner  4 OunceI had purchased an aquarium water testing kit and found that my pH levels were very high, so I got this to bring things closer to neutral. I followed the instructions, and within a week, the levels were right where they were supposed to be. Since treating my tank with the conditioner, I haven't lost any fish, and algae growth seems to have all but stopped. I'll be buying more once I run out.

Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank Diffuser Bubble Wall with Suction Cup, 23-Inch, Green

Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank Diffuser Bubble Wall with Suction Cup, 23-Inch, GreenOnly one side of this actually worked well. The other side had a few random bubbles coming out but nothing like the side closest to the air hose. I ended up moving the cap to the first section and just using it. It looks pretty like this and I don't have to worry about it coming apart. I should have just purchased the 12" one.

I looked all over the Permian Basin for this and was thrilled to find it. It arrived so fast I was surprised by my delivery. The fish love swimming in the bubbles and think they can hide behind them. It adds a beautiful feature to my aquarium.

Hydor ETH 300 In-Line External Heater 300w 5/8" hose

Hydor ETH 300 In-Line External Heater 300w 5/8' hoseI purchased this to replace a submersible heater that was overheating the tank despite the lowest setting. Right away, I could tell that the Hydor was well constructed and made from much better materials than any other heater I have ever used. The installation instructions were a bit vague, but its not a very complicated system. Once I got it going, I was very impressed! It does keep the temperature very even and consistent according to the setting. It's also nice since its hidden away behind the stand completely out of sight. One less piece of equipment in the tank! Well worth the extra price.

*UPDATE Demoted this to two stars. It had been keeping temperature pretty consistent for weeks, but today I went down to find all my fish were dead. The temperature had gone up to 102 degrees without warning. I checked the heater and the setting hadn't changed. I'm checking to see what kind of warranty is offered!

*UPDATE Hydor did honor the warranty and replace this product. Unfortunately, I noticed a temperature spike once again with the replacement. This time I did manage to catch it before it killed any more fish. While this item heats very well, the thermostat is COMPLETELY useless and unreliable. One commenter on this review suggested using a separate thermostat (Hydroset was the recommendation) which I think is exactly what I need.

I am a long time fish keeper now specializing in discus. I have owned just about every brand of heater in my over thirty years in the hobby. No heater I have even owned is comparable to this one. It is quite simply far better than any other aquarium heater. Easy to set, accurate, holds temperatures extremely stable. It must be used with a canister filter which I notice the Informational Blurb does not include, but if you run a canister filter on your aquarium this is the one to own.

Buy Hydor ETH 300 In-Line External Heater 300w 5/8" hose Now

This ETH-300 has been working great for almost a year now. I have it hooked up to the Hydroset thermostat in my 90g male Peacock Cichlid tank. Its plumped inline to my Fluval FX5 using some 1" x 5/8" barbs. It keeps my tanks temp steady at 79°, every once in a while I'll set it to 80°. I love the digital display.

Nothing else to say...it works and works well. Just make sure you get a thermostat to hook the heater up to just just as added protection in case of a heater failure.

I installed this heater on a new 75G saltwater tank. Water was about 68deg when I started and it only took about 8 or 9 hours to get the tank to 78deg. I have a very good digital thermometer and this heater keeps the tank +/.3degs from target temp. Great heater and a good value.

I get tired of looking at glass heaters taking up room in my fish tank or having to wipe the glass off or having to worry about larger fish breaking the glass. I found this product at a local pet store and amazon had the lowest price. It is easy to install inline with the filter and is super reliable and easy to adjust. I never have to look at a heater inside my tank again and cleaning is easy. To clean you can just use a took brush or the larger pipe cleaners. I highly recommend this heater for any fish tank.

TOM Aquarium Deco Kit - 3gal Aquarium Kit - PC Lighting & Filter

TOM Aquarium Deco Kit - 3gal Aquarium Kit - PC Lighting & Filter1 week of tank use: Firstthis is NOT 3 gallons, it's 2. The box says 3 gallons, but it's not.

Additional Equiptment Needed: Replacement filter cartridges are $10 for a 3 pack sold on Amazon TOM TM1277 Aquarium Filter Cartridge 3 pack fits Rapids Power Filter PF-80. The manual suggests you replace them every 2-4 weeks depending on fish population and it only comes with one. So you should order extra along with a heater. I purchased the Elite Submersible Preset Heater Mini, 25-Watt for appx $15 from Amazon. Fits well with the lid cutouts, it has adjustable temperature and seems to maintain a stable temp. I bought a $3 thermometer at local pet store to gauge this.

The instructions are not great, especially as this is my 1st tank. The filter came with seperate instructions from the tank and they conflict with eachother. Once I set them aside and used common sense, it was fairly simple.

Be prepared for the massive and unsightly plugs. I placed the tank on the kitchen counter and stuffed all the chords and plugs behind the fridge using a power strip. Have a good place in mind to put this where you can hide all that unless that sort of thing doesnt bother you.

Also, I agree with another reviewer about the filter just awkwardly hanging at a tilt off the tank, as if it doesnt belong there. The lid cutouts give you the option to the hang it on the back or the side. I hung it on the back and you cannot tell.

Having said all that, let me say that it is a beautiful little tank! This was an upgrade for my betta, I foolishly had him in a 2 gallon bowl prior with no heater and he was not doing so well. He is much more active and interactive. So I do have some gripes, but for the price this really is a great set up.

The lid keeps the cat out of the water. It is truly lovely and a pleasure to sit & watch. I have been planning for a 150 gal saltwater tank in the next 2-3 years and this is a fun way to get started in the hobby for very little money.

SEE MY PHOTOS :-)

I ordered this tank for my Betta fish after reading up on what type of conditions Betta fish need to thrive. It's very beautiful and easy to set up and clean. It does not come with a heater, however, so I had to order that extra. Betta's prefer water that's in the 75-80 degree range, so a heater and a thermometer are necessities! The light is gorgeous and really sets off the room.

This is a great little fish tank for my male Betta. Along with it I purchased a heater, a thermometer, and a green leaf hammock. Then I went to Petco and spent sixty more dollars on gravel, a live plant, silk plants, water conditioner, and various other things to make Chollie comfortable and his new home attractive. He is one happy aquatic camper!

Don't believe anyone who tells you Bettas are content in a very small container. How would you like to spend your life in a plastic or glass closet? The bigger the tank, the better for the Betta. And yes, they do require a water filter and heater.

I have it set up beside my computer and the great lighting on the top of the tank is enough to light my keyboard in the evening. The filter is noiseless and unobtrusive placed in the back of the tank.

Highly recommend (and so does Chollie)!

I purchased this aquarium mainly for the "appearance" it does look really neat.

Pros:

Easy to set up

Effective filter keeps tank very clean

Appearance it looks very nice and has a bright light.

Cons:

The plastic lid has perforated cut outs for allowing space for the filter and light. The pieces are EXTREMELY difficult to break apart and the lid cracked in the process. I followed up with company regarding this fact and have received no response.

The filter motor does have an audible hum and slight vibration. The "Eclipse" system I had made no noise at all.

Smokehouse Resealable Bag

Smokehouse 100-Percent Natural Chix Mix, 16-OunceThis was the 2nd time that I ordered the Smokehouse USA Chicken Stix. The 1st order had USA printed right on the bag, this one had a USA sticker over the China sticker. In addition, the product looked entirely different. Obviously I am concerned. I pay more to ensure I am not feeding my "fur kids" products from China. If it happens again, I'll stop ordering all Smokehouse products on-line.

My dogs are picky when it comes to treats. They will not eat these chicken sticks. They love the Chicken Chips by the same company, so thought I would try the sticks, but it did not work.

I was very excited to find 100% Natural Dog Treats at a nearby pet store.

I bought the Retriever pork skin ~ label and sticker reads "Made in USA"

GREAT!!!

Second, I purchased the Beef Hooves ~(There is not a label or sticker clarifying where they are from.)

Third, I purchased the Chix Mix ~ The label does indeed read in small print on the back of the package, right hand corner, "PRODUCT OF CHINA",

The sticker label on the front reads, "Product regularly tested to insure quality. Lab tested in the USA."

(So at that point, I figured it is made in China and tested in the USA)

Does that mean they test every bag? I doubt it.

I just got off the phone with the Smokehouse customer service department.

Their representative did go over each of the three products I bought.

The Beef Hooves and The Retriever Pork Skin are from the USA.

The Chix Mix is from China. She clearly stated this.

It looks like a great product,

but I am very hesitant to feed them to my dog.

I Googled all the information about the the dog deaths linked to Chicken Jerky Treats from China.

This brand was NOT on the list, but I read enough to be concerned about where they come from.

I will be exchanging the Chix Mix for the Beef Hooves tomorrow.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Maxi Jet 1200 Pro (295/1300 Gph)

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Maxi Jet 1200 ProI've used the MaxiJet powerheads for years. They don't clog quickly, they're easy to clean and they run continuously without problem. I recently bought 2 new MaxiJet Pro 1200's for my 125 gallon tank. They push water like I wanted and have been running strong without fail...except for one major issue. The suction cups on the new models are horrible! Both of the new ones come loose every couple of days. If I'm not paying attention, they fall off the glass and blow my sand all over the place. My older models hang tight forever, I'm not sure what's wrong with these new cups. I know there are conversion kits out there to get magnets on them, but it's disappointing to have to do that.

The Maxi-jet pro's have been a rock solid powerhead line up for years.

It works great in the classic setup, but while it does push a lot of water in the prop set up it is super loud.

Great price/performance ratio.

Tetra Pond Bottom Drain

Tetra Pond Bottom DrainI decided to enlarge my Koi pond from 1600 gallons to 6000 gallons and after having a pond for several years, I decided to install two bottom drains under the pond to assist with keeping the water clear and free of fish waste. Using a skimmer that removes the top layer of water and anything floating is great, (I still have a skimmer attached) but having the bottom drain means that all the leaves and "mess" that settles on the bottom of the pond is now gone and I do not have to worry about renting or buying a vacuum to clean out the pond every year.

And for those of you out there that are concerned about putting a hole in the bottom of your pond, the design of these drains is well thought out and the potential for leaks is extremely low. I have 81 koi in my pond and I would never do anything that would jeapordize their survival. I have a cleaner pond and could not be happier.

I am using this for a drain in my small duck pond and it is working GREAT.

Avoid buying Timber Tents for your hamster or gerbil or guinea pig or whatever. The hamster-sized tents have hamster head sized holes as well. Buy houses with only arches instead of windows."

My 3 chinchillas really like this hide a way. They have already made the entrance and "window" bigger from chewing. It has held up well so far. They enjoy sitting on the top and inside the Timber Tent, and the only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is I think they would enjoy a bigger size more. One of them fits inside just fine, but they tend to snuggle together and its not quite big enough for two, let alone three =)

JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 300 Aquarium Air Pump

JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 300 Aquarium Air PumpTitle says it all.

This thing sounds like a miniature motor running.

It completely drowns out my filter's sound which isn't really loud, but it does it to a point where you literally can't hear the filter unless you're a foot away.

Terrible unless you keep your aquarium in the basement or likewise isolated area.

Drove me insane.....only after 2 days too.

Going to try : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009YJ4N6/

cause it's got great reviews and whisper in its name.

EDIT:

the above one sucks too. Does not live up to it's name

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048B1M1I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01

^^^ is amazing. Hardly any noise, super compact, blends in well.

It was quite silent for a few days but after a week it is soo annoying. If the pump is on an open shelf like mine it can be very disturbing..

I have a valve connected to control the airflow into the tank and when I increase the air amount the buzzing noise increases as well.. very disturbing.

The reviews said that this was a silent pump. I don't know if the noise is a result of a faulty product or a faulty design but this one is going back.

Jardin Plastic Fish Tank Coral Shaped Ornament Décor, Baby Blue

behind it, real fast and friendly service, had no problems.

It's okay. I have red and black gravel and thought that the color would add to the scheme of the tank. But it really doesn't. It's not a bad item, but it really looks fake and I hide it among other decorations to improve its appearance. It may come out if I see that it detracts from the overall look of the tank. It's my fault, I probably should have gotten something in a darker blue color.

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Tropical Water Background

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Tropical Water Background, Silver FrameFirst, I would like to say that if you are considering buying this product, you should read this. I was very mislead by the youtube videos, and all the product reviews on this product. I have had this product for over 6 months. Let me explain to you, my story.

1. Purchased Product, Received Product fairly quick. Missing Mint Cloth, Screws & Hardware, also the entire lightning balast system /including bulb.

No problem? Just exchange it right? Wrong. 2nd Product Received with the same accessories missing plus a plastic part on the aquiarum cover/lid was broke off. And instead of the aquarium saying Aquavista (under where the frame goes, it said "china" embedded in the plastic.)

Hmm.. I think to myself.. This can't happen a third time can it? Why, Yes it can! It came from china. Same missing accessories: Screws & Hardware, cloth, lightning ballast system + bulb. Wow, Right off the bat someone would rate this a 1 star.. Not me, I'm willing to give it a shot!

I call Amazon, they told me to contact Aquavista. Aquavista Customer Service Support was very nice, they sent me Lightning Ballast + bulb that i had to install / + free filters.

After setting up this aquarium, i had bought my own pebbles / Rocks. ( this will become a nightmare as small rocks will fall in the filteration area and become stuck). I followed the manual, waited to put fish in tank.

I have had a horrible time with this tank, I have to clean this tank at least once every week otherwise the tank becomes filthy and fish start dying. I have had horrible, horrible experiences with this tank. Here's one to mention. One morning, GloTetra Disappeared. Hmm.. Where he go? Called aquavista. They told me to check behind the aquarium background. (was really fun trying to take this off after setting aquarium up.) Long story short, in the bottom right side of tank, theres a small hole (between black filter cover and background in corner of tank) where little fishies can get through. SO, Mr. Fish was stuck behind the tank. Long story short, becasue i had to bend background alittle to get fish on other side, small rocks fell between the plastic and background to where the picture would not fit the way it should. Had to take the entire tank apart, fake aquarium plants, small ship, fish, rocks.. everything. This was truely a nightmare. This didn't happen once, but three times. Once with a albino frog (didn't have to take the tank apart because he was easier to get) and also a neon tetra who is decaying in the bottom of the tank under the black filter. Oh yes, this causes disease and all fish will die, Except my Pleco + Frog. I have bought a water testing kit before all of this happened, and the ammoneia levels were extremely high. (50-100% water changes + cleaning of all objects/rocks) per week. To top things off? If you accidently overfill the aquarium with water (there is a meter) water will drip on your floor. But one time dripped on the right side instead of the left side. This caused the LCD touchpad + Screen to short out. Aquavista customer server was extremely nice, and sent me another one for me to replace. I paid $ 140 160 for this product and felt that I extremely over paid for cheap china plastic and poor quality. Poor Filtration in a 5.5 Gal = Death to all fish (cept pleco+frog or other high immune system species)

I would not have gotten this product if I would have known all of this could happen. It's truely a beautiful tank when it is lit up and turned on. Then the beautiful moment is ruined by fish who sink to the bottom of your tank lifeless and dead. Go to your local pet store to buy an aquarium worth spending this much money on.

Looks really nice, It's definitely the vocal point of the room. The only draw back is that it's a little noisy when the filter is running.
