Penn-Plax® Tank Dividers® for Aquariums

I got this divider for my 10 gallon long fish tank that I was going to use for two male bettas, but then decided to divide into three for three male bettas. I had only ordered one from Amazon, which arrived very quickly. Thus, I had to go to a pet store out of town to pick up the SAME THING, because I didn't want to divide into two, then go in and redo it all to divide into three (call me lazy). The dividers were the made by the same manufacturer, the Amazon version was less expensive, but I have to say... The one I got on Amazon is MUCH less flimsy (and I even broke the stabilizer on top on the Amazon one!) and doesn't need to be held up by tank decor at all. The one from the pet store? It has gravel holding it up, rocks, and driftwood supporting it. They were cut to the same size, and had the same general "pieces," but the Amazon by far outshines the other. I have nothing but rave reviews about this. Beyond that, the stabilizer on the Amazon version is a little taller that the one from the LFS something I learned after the fact with horrible results (one of the males jumped over to the other side and fought with the other while I was at work. Definitely would buy again!t

I bought this divider to divide my ten gallon so I could house two male bettas. Now, this divider might work well for other fish, but it is not suited at all for bettas. The mesh screen that comes with this divider is crystal clear and bettas can see straight through it. Before buying this product I had read reviews that this kind of divider is OK because bettas will just flare at each other for a few days, get used to seeing each other and then live peaceably; however, from my experience, the stress this divider creates for bettas is really, REALLY not worth it. I started with two happy bettas and after using this screen for about 4 days I now have two bettas that have stress-induced fin tears. I tested my tank water and there's nothing wrong with it, the problem is that this divider just stressed them out too much. I even tried to prevent my bettas from seeing each other by putting plants next to the screen and replacing the clear screen with plastic canvas but it was no use, they would just swim in and around the plants and flare at each other and they can see through plastic canvas. I finally took one of the bettas out today and put him in a fish bowl and I can only hope that their fins will regrow, but I really would not recommend this divider for betta owners. I will say that the divider itself worked well at keeping the fish apart, it stayed up straight and they didn't jump over the top so I think that if you used this with other sorts of fish it would probably be okay, but just not with two bettas. Now I find myself with two sick fish and out about 10 bucks from buying this divider and I still have to buy another filter and heater to set up my second betta. BETTA OWNERS: Save your money and just buy another tank!

P.S. Of less importance, but I thought I should note it anyways: The plastic tracks that come with this divider are aqua blue and really don't do anything for the look of your aquarium unless you already happened to have an aqua blue color scheme going on. If you're looking for something that will blend in with your tank decor, this won't. It would have looked so much better if the tracks were black or white... it would also have helped if the mesh itself was opaque black instead of clear but I digress...

the divider works well.. though i replaced the see through plastic with some plastic canvas from an arts and craft store, two layers prevents the bettas i have from seeing each other and getting aggravated. i also used some aquarium safe silicone glue because i couldnt be bothered with the clips that came with it... but works well holding it all together. and if you have fish that dont get aggravated the plastic that comes with it looks to work fine and fit well

I used this in a 15 gallon tank for moderate tempered bettas and zebra danios (nippy to each other, but mostly would chase). It does a great job of keeping the fish separated, but I found that over the top filtration wasn't quite strong enough to pull waste from the far side of the tank with the tiny, tiny holes. Solution: drill larger holes at the top and bottom, sand the new holes only (those areas will cloud a bit) and rinse. Viola! It works!

Everybody is happy and safe in the tank now!

I wish they didn't use that god awful blue for the edges, and that the clips didn't get in the way of the hood, but at least my little guys & girls are comfortable.

I got this for my pair of whiskered pleco's , wored great, only drawback is that I had to lower the water level about an inch, I wish it were about 2 inches taller. Other then that, I have used it several times, and I have a lot of babies to show for having it. Other fish in aqua will eat the eggs, and this helped .

Bio-Wheel Assembly Replacement - PR1940B

If you buy this item, don't forget the bearings required so the power wheel fits in the filter.

Couldn't find this in my area--so grateful to finally locate it. Product is excellent and arrived in very short time.

Buy Bio-Wheel Assembly Replacement - PR1940B Now

Placed order on Sept 15, 2010 for a Penguin Bio-Wheel Assembly and 6pk of filter cartridges. Received notification that items were shipped the the next day and charged for both items. Received package around 21 Sept with only 6pk filter cartridges and no Bio Wheel assembly. Contacted vendor on 25 Sept 2010 to request status of Bio Wheel Assembly and was informed on 27 Sept 2010 that item was not in stock and it would be sent once it was placed in stock. I was never informed that it wasn't in stock prior to my request for status. That information should communicated when the order is placed or at the latest prior to the items being shipped. I then requested when will the item be available. I was informed on 27 Sept 2010 that it would be available in the following week. I then received another email from vendor on 28 Sept that informed the item was on back order from the vendor and wouldn't be available for 1-2 weeks. To make a long story short I requested a refund. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but wanted to make sure it was documented. I good business doesn't charge you for items it doesn't have and it keeps you informed if items are not in stock. I gave 1 star for poor business practices not for the product.

Schuber Wright Beveled Rimless Aquarium, 6-Gallon

The ascetics of this tank are outstanding; however, the workmanship is only average. The gaps between the glass panels are not uniform, and as a result the depth of the silicone caulking varies visibly among the seams.

TOM Reptile Habitat Repti-Clean Submersible Filter low water application 40gph

This filter does a good job cleaning and aerrating the water in my turtle tank...however, I have to relocate my turtle when I run the filter...it causes a whirlpool effect and the poor thing is pushed around in a circle swimming for its life. Was hoping it could be run with the turtle in it but not possible. I now remove the turtle to a different receptacle for the night while the filter runs. This is working out..but not as convenient as I was expecting. But I do recommend it if you have the turtle swamp cause it does do a good job when it is on. Vendor was very prompt in sending product and it arrived in fine shape....easy to operate as well.

I bought one of these filters more than 7 years ago to use in a community tank with small fish, frogs and a toad, and it is still running strong. What I really like is that the filter base opens easily and all sorts of media can be used as needed -from bio to mechanical, to ammo-block and charcoal. The original impeller is still in this unit and shows very little wear to this day, and it's been operating 24/7 since I got it (excepting down time, of course, to clean it and replace filter media). No other filter has worked this well for so long.

I bought one years ago for my red eared sliders and it still going strong. I just got some yellow bellied slider hatchlings and I needed another one. If you're are looking for a low maintenance filter, this is the one to get. just keep the filter cleaned & unclogged & you'll have clean clear water in your tank. thanx

I bought this filter to keep my terrarium's water bowl clean since I usually try to keep a couple gold fish in their in case my water dragons get hungry. This bowl holds approximate 1-1.5 gallons of water and is about 2.5 inches deep and has river rocks on the bottom. My first dissapointment was that the filter did not come with any sort of instructions. Then when I put it into the bowl I found the results simply disappointing. It did not keep the water any cleaner than putting a sponge on the end of an air hose. I reccomend to anyone who is considering purchasing this filter DON'T.

I used it in the Tom's Swamp for a couple of quarter size hatchlings. I never planned on it being a long term use filter by any means but it couldn't even handle the swamp which it was made for. I still have extra filter refills but I don't ever plan on using this again. Waste of money.

Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm Heaters with Plastic LED, 25-Watt

This is the most reliable heater out there on them market today. Love how easy it is to set up and see what the heater is doing.

Compact,small,thin and has the thermometer built in. The best heater every made,i was always looking for something like this for my tanks.

Buy Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm Heaters with Plastic LED, 25-Watt Now

I've been looking for a good quality heater with temp control for my 2.5 gallon for over a year... I finally saw the 25W Cobalt heater (which is a higher wattage then I was looking for) for almost $50 and almost passed on it. I am so glad I didn't! Though it's a snug fit for my little 2.5 gallon, the heater is super slim and is only 6.5" long and fits in the aquarium at a slight angle, which is fine as the minimum water level is the top of the bezel (the round dial).

I've only had this heater for two days, but it raised the temp in my tank from it's usual 72-74°F (with 10W Marineland heater) to 78°F within a few hours and only fluctuated about 1/2° overnight when we turn the heat off in the house. I couldn't be happier and will definitely update my review should anything go wrong.

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS HEATER FOR 2.5 GALLON TANKS!

Beautiful piece that does not feel intrusive in a tank. Not cheap, but I would consider replacing all of my heaters with this type. One of the beautiful things is it lets you know the temp of the water in the tank and the goal temp at the same time.

Cadet 12-Piece Cow Ears Meat for Dogs, Large

Watson LOVES these! I used to buy pig ears but they were too greasy. These are just right.

I was hesitant at first to buy these on line for my Lab. I read other reviews and they mentioned how big the ears were and how much their pet loved them. I ordered 10 bags. All were pretty much the same size allowing my Lab to enjoy them longer than the other brand I bought. Rawhide doesn't compare to these cow ears. Every bag was consistant in size, fresh and crisp. I recommend these ears to anyone with dogs 40 lbs. or larger.

Buy Cadet 12-Piece Cow Ears Meat for Dogs, Large Now

When I got my dog he was eating everything in the house and getting sick from it. I decided to give him rawhide treats of all kinds as it was better than shoes, slippers, the fly swat, and a washrag. However, I discovered cow ears and really like them. They are thin and I think much better for a doggy stomach than thick rawhide. Though I do like the super big rawhide bones, because they get played with more than eaten. I didn't give this product 5 stars because there are deep smoked cow ears that are available and my dog prefers the super smoked ones. Of course the advantage of the white cow ears is that they last longer and that's a good thing.

Hagen Exo Terra Plastic Terrarium Plant

The leaves were a lot smaller than I had anticipated but being that i got the Large, it was a lot of plant. The only problem with it was the suction cup. it didnt want to stick at first and it was really annoying but (it may sound gross) after applying some saliva its actually kind of difficult to remove. my cornsnake absolutely loves it

Catalina Adjustable Heat Pad 7 Watt 6 x 8in

I love that this heating pad is adjustable after my snake burnt himself on his last one. I have it on the lower setting and check it every day to make sure it isn't too warm.

My only concern with this is that it doesn't stick well at all. I have had to duck tape it to the bottom of my tank after it was slowly peeling off a number of times.

All in all, I like it. I feel that duck tape is a small price to pay to be able to adjust the heat.

I actually bought this for my Dubia roaches. The adjustable heat setting works ideal! I have underneath my Sterilite tub, and it's temperature is about 95F on the "Medium" setting. (Just a FYI if anyone is courious for the same reason I bought mine.)

She lives in a cage in the house, but it gets cold when the heater is off. I put the heat pad on top of two parallel perches, then there's a square of wood the same size with linoleum nailed on top of the wood sitting on the heat pad. I use three paper clips to keep a fresh napkin on top of that, so she has a clean warm place to live on. It uses a lot less power than that human heating pad that was on top of the cage before.

Cat Mate Elite Selective Chip and Disc Cat Flap

This is the first review I have every written on any product. Arrived in good condition. Appeared to be well made. Both myself and my girlfriend have now spent over an hour each just trying to get this to work. We have each read the instructions many times and used 2 different cats (one has a microchip only 6 months old) with no luck. The door appears to be reading the chip however it simply does not work. We either can't get it to lock when it's supposed to or we can't get it to unlcok when the chip is being read. I have no idea if I simply have one defective unit or if this is really that poorly made, regardless I will be returning.

1/24 Update: -Prior to sending unit back I decided to call the company. The rep was very knowledgeadble and walked me through setting up the door in 5 minutes. However her instructions were completely different than the instructions given with the door! And no this is not a lack of ability on my part, between my GF and I we hold 2 doctorates. Anyway door now seems to work as advertised althoug I haven't installed it yet. Additionally I would like to see a better description of the functions in the instructions. For example no where does it mention ANY animals can go out of the door but only chipped ones can enter. Also you can not set the door to respond differently to indeividual chips, whatever you set it as applies to every chip you have programmed. None of these bothered me but it should be advertised as such, or at least explained in the instructions. For those reasons 3 out of 5.

This is the only chip and disc door I have found on the market, and the concept is great. It only comes in one size, which is tough for the tubby cat. The door requires pressure before it will read the ID tags, forcing the cat to press and be locked out once and then try again before they can get let in. If an unknown cat attempts entry, the door locks in both directions, not allowing the inside cat out until it senses the ID tag. The door has a difficult time reading the tag from the inside approach. We've had occasional random misreads and lock outs as well

We are still in training mode so I haven't used the chip reader yet but so far this seems to be a solid product that is well constructed. I have an older cat that has never used a cat flap so it is taking some time to get her past her fear and distrust of the door. I am using it in the unlocked training mode and I put a couple of cat treats on the outside to provide some incentive for her to push through. She seems fine coming in (fear based I think) but is a bit reluctant to go out. It's been five days now and she is going out on her own now (without me directing her). the door itself has worked as advertised.

Jardin Aquarium Artificial Grass Lawn Decoration, 24.4-Inch by 17-Inch, Green

This was a great lawn decoration that I used for my fish tank for awhile. I ended up taking it out because you cant see the debree that gets left over. But for looks in the tank it looked fantastic. Looked realistic in the tank.
