Laguna Pressure-Flo Replacement Foam Kit for Pressure-Flo 2100 UVC Filter - 4-Pack

Laguna Pressure-Flo Replacement Foam Kit for Pressure-Flo 2100 UVC Filter - 4-PackPerfect in every way. I waited six years to replace the foam filters...wish I had done it earlier.

The pond water is crystal clear. Great filter for 1400 gallons of Koi Pond water.

I bought my filter system last year, and loved the filter pads that came with it. They have stood up well to frequent cleaning. I wanted a backup set and didn't want my original ones to give out if I didn't have another set on hand.

I would not purchase them again. They are not the same quality as the original ones that came with the filter itself.

They are very soft in comparison, and when I remove them to clean them, they have a caved in look on the sides.

Not the quality I expected, and I'm not expecting them to last the Summer at all.

These 4 compact foam rings had me wide eyed when I opened the filter for a spring clean-up. Over the winter, I ran this filter without the waterfall. My fish remained healthy. The foam kit was loaded with gunk due to being unattended for months. The water flow continued full force despite my neglect. After a thorough cleaning, I reused them until I decided to re-order. I unplugged the pond heater, and turned the UV light back on. In 3 days, my algae was gone and the water was, and still is, clear as glass. This system gives me big results with little effort. I am finally done searching for the right pond filter.

Nice new clean filters. Good fit. The are a little more porous than the original filters.

Hopefully they will last more than two seasons.

After couple years I finally decided to change the foam and I cannot be happier. Old foam shrinks and it doesn't absorb as much. This is must do for your filter.

Penn Plax Cathedral Resin Aquarium Décor

Penn Plax Cathedral Resin Aquarium DécorA solid and wonderfully detailed piece that is absolutely sure to please if you like ruins. Unlike others from this line there is no silly high gloss dolphin disrupting its look. The size of it allows you to "tinker" I added an LED light just behind the entrance of the cathedral which looks very striking at night.

Five stars all the way.

Biosafe 6401-1 GreenClean pH Down Ph Adjuster, 1 Pounds

Biosafe 6401-1 GreenClean pH Down Ph Adjuster, 1 PoundsThis product has great value and a great price but the only reason i did not give it a 5 star rating is because it doesn't work as fast as the liquid form

This product seemed to work great for my 250 gallon preformed pond during the extreme heat of summer 2012 in St. Louis where I was constantly adjusting the PH.

Aquaclear Activated Carbon Insert, 50-Gallon Aquariums, 3-Pack

Aquaclear Activated Carbon Insert, 50-Gallon Aquariums, 3-PackThe aqua clear insert activated carbon worked for my Aqua Clear 50. I like the longer change intervals on these bags. Its less work for me.

Years ago I used to use Aqua Clear filters & media and when I got back into having a aquarium, I tried something else. Big mistake. After three different types of over the tank filters, I realized there is only one filter I can trust to keep my tank crystal clear and is super easy to maintain. It's so nice to have separate filter media to change.

Buy Aquaclear Activated Carbon Insert, 50-Gallon Aquariums, 3-Pack Now

one thing to keep in mind is that you will need to rinse this at least a few times (i rinse like 6x) as there is a lot of carbon dust initially. other than that, still loving my aquaclear 50, easy to use, don't have to switch out all the parts each cleaning and water change, can't complain. was recommended by my local fish guy and i agree, the best filter for the $.

Biomagnet Clarifier

Biomagnet Clarifierhad an aquarium cloudy water problem that was very persistant, bought this product and my water got worse and

would not reccomend this product. it made a real mess.

I only used this product from 2 samples I received in my sand substrate and it works great. I put a dose of 40 gallons in my 50 gallon and it's noticeably improving clarity in my water within an hour. It took about 3-4 days for my water to become fully clear when I added substrate to my other tank and after using this I believe it will be crystal clear in less than a day and a half maybe even 24 hours. It's safe on my fish and worth every penny.

Buy Biomagnet Clarifier Now

I've only used this product once I got a free packet in my bag of CaribSea sand. My previous encounters with water clarifier were BAD: My tanks contain snails, and I had a mass murder of my snails when using other clarifiers.

This time, I removed the four snails I'd be upset to lose, then after putting in the sand, added this clarifier. The other snails (pond snails), which had reacted so negatively to other clarifiers, were just fine, much to my delight (they were supposed to be food for my new fishie inhabitants a couple days later).

My water is still somewhat cloudy, but not nearly as bad as the last time I'd created a tank with a sand substrate. Of course, other clarifiers work faster than this, but they're NOT snail-friendly!

I cannot speak for how this affects pomacea diffusa snails, or ramshorn snails but I can say that the 70 pond snails I had in the tank survived, when the previous batch all died the last time I added clarifier.

So four stars it could be a stronger clarifier, but I'd rather it be weaker and still safe for snails! I wish other clarifiers would put directly on the bottle that they're not to be used around our shell-covered friends!

PondCare Melafix Antibacterial Fish Remedy, 16-Ounce

PondCare Melafix Antibacterial Fish Remedy, 16-OunceThe Melafix seems to help a bit when my freshwater angelfish fight and mess up their fins from damage and stress. But the best thing is still water changes and clean water. Remember to shut off UV and take out carbon while using this.

Compared to the regular formulation, the pondcare version is 5x the concentration for about the same price. Remember to follow the pondcare directions which is for 1/5 the dose of the API branded product.

Melafix is a must for any tropical aquarium & buying the PondCare Melafix is the best deal out there for large or multiple aquariums. You can't get the "aquarium" API Melafix for anywhere near this price so if you can, buy pond sized & get a great deal. The measuring lid & dose is no different than API, but at least saved me half the cost.

cleared up something on one of our Koi's. I use it during water changes too, especially when I think the water has been going unchanged for a while. its never hurt the fish at all.

I bought 2 goldfish 8 years ago to cycle my new tank, I never thought that they would live through that but one did and I ended up keeping him..he is now 8 inches and in a 40 gallon tank by himself. He recently got a tumor like growth, it was a red and whitish sore like an ulcer. I used this for a week and it went away. After the very first does it started to turn black and after a week it looked like a raisin, it then fell off a week later. It left a small scar but he is back to health and no more tumor. So this stuff definitely works. It is made of Tea Tree oil and smells nice. A bit pricey but there is enough to treat a 40 gallon tank for about 60 doses or more. It was meant for ponds but does a great job in my tank. I will continue to give a weekly maintenance dose.

I use this when introducing new fish that fight for a while, or fish that might be rough on each other during mating. It heals their wounds up very quickly. I still buy the aquarium version for tanks smaller than 30 gallon to get accurate dosing. The pond product is great for larger tanks. It is the same as the aquarium product, but much more concentrated allowing me to treat my 110 gallon tank without going broke.

Boyd Enterprises ABE16744 Chemipure Grande Filter Media, 40-Ounce

Boyd Enterprises ABE16744 Chemipure Grande Filter Media, 40-OunceIn our aquarium hobby 'seeing' is believing !

I use the 'Grande' with the Eheim 2080 on a 150 gallon

The results are outstanding, try it for yourself.

I drop this prebagged media (after a good rinse) into a canister filter and it keeps my tanks crystal clear for ~4-6 months depending on the bio load. This Grande size is great for big tanks like my 150.

Zoo Med AquaSun T5-HO Double Light Linear Fluorescent Hood, 30-Inch

Zoo Med AquaSun T5-HO Double Light Linear Fluorescent Hood, 30-InchMaybe I was just ignorant when I purchased this, but just a warning to those that may not know; This does not come with the T5 HO lighting. You need to order it separately, and it seems that the only size that will fit (22" bulb) is only sold via Zoomed. I just ordered the bulbs so I cant really give this a review as far as the quality goes, but I just wanted people to be aware.



Its a great product, my plants were starving for light from the old light fixture. My tank is a 30gallon tank that came in a package that is sold at petstores and wal mart. Its very bright, only down side is that it does not sit flush with the top of the tank, which is good for tanks that have large aquatic plants that can grow above the water level but bad for fish that jump. Also, because it does not sit flush with the top of the tank light does escape out the front and back. But you just can't have a thriving plant tank with out proper lights and this light goes beyond expectations. The two light bulbs I used have 5,000k and 6,500k output and it has made a major difference in my plant growth.

The mounting brackets slide into the light fixture for a secure mount, so it wont slide and drop into the tank. The kit comes with (2) 4ft wire cords to screw into the top of the tank so you can hang it from the ceiling if you need more space for larger plants. The two light bulbs have independant on/off switch's but only one 3ft power cord. It keeps your timer from getting cluttered with two many power cords. You will need an extention cord if your outlet is farther that 3ft away from you light or your tank is up higher than mine..

The platic bulb cover slides out one side of the fixture to install light bulbs. There is a thin plastic wrapping on the glass from packaging, remove this film. It is very easy to clean, since the entire fixture is mounted on hinges.

From end to end the entire fixture is 32 inches wide and the mounting brackets can be positioned anywhere under the fixture, so this light will secure to any size tank 32inches wide or less.

Inside where the bulbs go, there is a reflector for maximum light exposure to the tank. The bulbs and reflector are protected by the clear plastic cover, so dust and algea can not reach them.

Can't beat the price or quality of this product. 5 stars...

I bought one of these lights locally. Its great. Provides plenty of light, and even has hinges on the brackets allowing you to easily flip up the fixture for maintenance and cleaning. The brackets are also adjustable, so you don't need them at the end, or use them at all. At nearly half the price of the GLO lighting, I feel this is a better deal. I am currently planning to buy more for my other tanks. I would defiantly recommended these lights for a cheaper (and just as durable) option for many of the T5 lighting available. If this is Zoo Meds entry into the aquarium market, they are off to a great start!

Good product, works as advertised. A few comments. Fixture does not include lamps, which is not explicitly stated that I could tell. I came to this conclusion before ordering, and think that it is still a decent value, but should be stated. Also, the fixture is rather deep, I am using it as a second light for a wide tanks, and it takes up a lot of room. The legs are very short, and are affixed to the fixture with a narrow tab of plastic that may be prone to break. I elected to use the included hanging kit, which works well.

Want Zoo Med AquaSun T5-HO Double Light Linear Fluorescent Hood, 30-Inch Discount?

This tank light is perfect for my needs. Came with two mount options: 'clamps' that latch onto the side of the tank or you can suspend it with included aluminum/steel wire. I have not tried to suspend it as I have nothing above my tank. The clamp system works great. In fact, I don't even use the attached screws for the clamp as I clean my tank very often. I can just lift the entire thing up one side at a time and clean away. The light assembly generates very little heat as well, which is a plus.

Kent Marine 00616 35-Inch Pro-Scraper with Stainless Steel Blade

Kent Marine 00616 35-Inch Pro-Scraper with Stainless Steel BladeWe have a problem with stubborn hair algea and this scraper worked great. We could scrub it and scrub it with the magnet kinds and it would get stuck in it and you'd do the same spot over and over again. This scraper knocked it out in no time. Extra long length makes it a breeze getting down the sides of tall 90 gallon. Will most likely buy a backup!

When they say 35", they mean it. Terrifically long, and able to easily scrape all of the glass on my 55 gallon without ever getting my hands wet. Truthfully, I think this might be overkill for a tank that's 24" high, but I'm very happy with this nonetheless. I have one of the short scrapers that uses the same blades, and although they do last a while, they are not permanent and you should expect to replace them every once so often (the edges tend to bend over time depending on how vigorously you scrape). Pretty happy with it.

Big Shrimpy Original Faux Suede Dog Bed Replacement Cover

Big Shrimpy Original Faux Suede Dog Bed Replacement Cover, Medium, MarigoldThe advertised color of the dog bed cover was clay. The one I received was black with gray cloth insert. I have bought several extra large dog beds. One had the zipper open the length of the end and side to help get the foam in. Another opened the length of one side and made it more difficult to put the foam in. The Big Shrimpy had a zipper on one end only. Trying to put a piece of foam for an extra large bed from the end is quite a task. I will never own another one.

Interestingly, I've been using it for more than a year and my fancy Shibunkin fish have not faded any of their color.

You may pay a little more for this food but the results for your fish are outstanding MORE than worth it... I have used nothing but this food for over 8 years and have tremendous growth, colors and disease immunity with my koi, comets and shubunkins....

Boomer Ball From Company Of Animals Boomer Ball

The Company Of Animals DCN50600 6-Inch Clix Ball, MediumI have a 3 year old Bull Terrier and he is a spinner. I've tried everything to try and get him to stop. Most internet sites say to teach him to sit and make him sit when he starts. I believe it is impossible to teach a chronicly dazed spinning dog to sit. When he is spinning, it is like he forgets all of his surroundings, he'll knock the kids over, move furniture and it drives me crazy. A breeder site recommended the boomer ball to help entertain him. I was skeptical, would my dog really push a ball around the yard with his face? Something he can't even fit his mouth around (I had thought his favorite thing to do was immediately destroy any toy I brough home for him, he couldn't help it). Right now, I've had the boomer ball for 3-4 weeks and he LOVES it, I LOVE it. We play with it together, like soccor, he plays with it by his self. I watch him manuever the ball around, with a apparent thought process and it makes me really see for the first time that he is a smart boy and very capable. Since I got the boomer ball, he doesn't spin no where near as much and it is easier to stop him by just calling his name. This is my best purchase this year. We enjoy each others company so much more now and it's given us the chance to really work together. He is calmer and happier now. Thank you!!

We are very disappointed in this product. It is a hard plastic ball. Our dog will not play with it.

She's still a large puppy and chooses chew toys but I start playing with the boomer ball myself LOL! I like the humming noise it makes rolling around, the hard indestructible shell, and it rolls smoothly. I roll it with my puppy. I bought the 10" bc my puppy will be about 90-100lbs full grown.

This is not a good ball. It is a hard plastic ball. The dog cannot bite it nor push on it thus I guess the reason for saying it I "indestructible". My dogs just pretty much run around this ball in the yard. Kind of dumb if you ask me.
