Perfecto Manufacturing APF36460 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 46-Inch

Perfecto Manufacturing APF36460 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 46-InchThe Canopy was poor constructed at the seam...........the attachment strip was off by 1/8 inch or so, resulting in an inability to fit the canopy in my acquarium.

Emailed the merchant, who immediately and graciously apologized. Upon return of the defective canopy, a full refund (inclusive of shipping) was given. Quite grateful to this merchant and would strongly recommend them as a seller.

After three years I'm still very happy with the glass lid for the 46-gallon bowfront tank, but I have some reservations.

First, like the other reviews stated, this lid will not fit your tank out of the box. I don't have the equipment to sand down glass; sandpaper doesn't cut it. It took three trips to local glass shops before I found one (Franciscan Glass, Mountain View, CA) that would trip 1/4" off the edge. No, the glass isn't tempered, but whatever machine they used took 30 seconds and the lid was fine.

Second, the black plastic seam between the two pieces splits down the middle after years of daily use, but a little Gorilla-brand black, heavy duty duct tape fixed that.

Third, and this might not affect you, but hard water deposits will eventually fog this glass up. It's not bad, but the lid hasn't been crystal clear since I got it. I'm not sure how to fix this other than giving it a good scrub every six months or so.

Still, buy it, take it to a local glass shop, and be happy. It's worth it.

UPDATE: After four years the glass cracked and I bought a replacement. Just like before, the canopy is 1mm too long, so I think it must be a defect in my tank. I'm too lazy to get the glass trimmed this time so now it just sits slightly ajar. Still worth it.

I was a bit weary about ordering this replacement cover after reading other reviews. But when I got it, it was in great condition. And it fit my Euro aquarium perfectly.

this glass appeared to fit my 46gal bowfront, but was just a fraction of an inch too long. I kept it in hopes of taking it to a glass shop to have it adjusted. Price was good.

Underwater Galleries AUG6753 10-Pack Big Rock Box

Underwater Galleries AUG6753 10-Pack Big Rock BoxAs the title states these may be grey market as 2 of the stones looked like they had been glued back together after breaking. There are large cracks in them but the pieces appear to be solid still and there is not any glue visible so I am not sure if this standard for the cichlid stones or possibly a box that was returned and refurbed. Overall the package was in very good shape and they put the extra effort in to make sure it got to me intact. Mine were delivered from Big Al's and they were prompt in getting the package to me.

The openings of the rocks vary from 2"-5" which was one of my main concerns before ordering as I could not find very much information online about it. I am using these for Aulonocara Kandeense (small african peacock aka "Blue orchid") and the openings are a great size for them and I would venture to say even larger fish will fit in the openings.

I let them soak in the sink in hot water (added dechlorinator) for a few hours. Then put them in my tank. My fish immediately took to them and they love the new hiding places!

My fish love the hiding spaces that these cichlid stones provide. They are also an attractive decoration and a less expensive alternative to making caves with real stones.

For my 120 gallon tank with Lake Malawi Cichlids between 3-6 inches these stones are perfect!

They look like real rock. Very light. No danger of them falling & cracking the glass bottom of the tank.

The fish love them. The tank looks great. Have ordered another set.

Want Underwater Galleries AUG6753 10-Pack Big Rock Box Discount?

I bought these rocks in the hopes that my semi agressive fish would have a safe place to hang during the day and at night.

I ordered the 10 Pack Big Rock Box which arrived within a large box where inside each piece was individually packaged with bubble wrap and a smaller boxed. The quality of the rocks was top notch, I was not expecting them to be as nice as they were. They are heavy enough to stay where you put them (no floating) and they have enough texture to them that they stack well without slipping or falling.

Fish took to them in about 2 days.

I have had them in my tank for about a month and even though they looked pretty real with I pulled them out of the box, they look even more real now as they have acclimated to the environment. With the exception of having a hole in them giving it away that they are man made, they look very real.

All in all I am very happy with my purchase

Marina 15 Watt Clear Showcase Bulb, 2-Pack

Marina 15 Watt Clear Showcase Bulb, 2-PackThese lights work well and are just bright enough for my small 12 gallon aquarium. They put off a little heat, but it is the perfect amount for my fish.

Its hard to find these in a two pack. They are much cheaper this way. Most aquariums have two bulb sockets, so they should all be sold in two packs.

Crystal Clear Aquatics AAD00248 Pondseal Liquid Pond Liner, 1-QuartI bought this to seal a waterfall that I had rebuilt. It was applied over concrete and had I used pond sealing foam to fill in some of the cracks. It goes on dark brown, but dries black.

Cat Mate Elite Wall Liner

Cat Mate Elite Wall LinerI put my Cat Mate Elite Super Selective door through an outside wall in my house so I ordered an extension liner as recommended. Unfortunately, they really only add a couple of inches to the tunnel, so I needed to order two more. With a total of three wall liners I was able to make a very nice, waterproof tunnel for my furry family. They fit together perfectly but there is no real "adjustment" room. They're either connected or they're not, so you should measure your opening depth carefully and get one of these for every two inches extra you need to cover.

Like I said, for an exterior home wall I needed three. For a regular interior door you should not need any, and for a regular interior wall, even though it recommends a liner, I would be willing to bet that you would need two.

The door installed perfectly and easily in my wall. I needed and purchased two wall liners, which worked well. The Locking mechanism works well with the collar tag; haven't had any issues yet, BUT my cat has still not gotten used to the SOUND the system makes when it is unlocking. The cat refuses to go through it at all and has ended up using various places within our house as a new impromptu litter box. When I would coax (read: kindly shove) the cat through the door, it would seemingly not take issue with the sound, and would go through relatively willingly; however when we would go to work for the day I guess she decided it wasn't worth the risk that there might be some hidden guillotine built into the door, and would instead use our carpet, tile, clean laundry basket, etc as a litter box. We never had this issue with the previous (non-locking) cat door that this one replaced. Now we have effectively left this door in the 'unlocked' mode for the last month which defeats the purpose of us buying a relatively expensive electronic locking cat door.

(by the way, we DID do all the recommended 'training' recommended by the manual just when we put it back in the locking mode, the sound freaks the cat out :( ).

All Glass Aquarium AAG29036 Versa Top, 36-Inch

All Glass Aquarium AAG29036 Versa Top, 36-InchFits my 38G (36in x 12in top) well. Back is a bit difficult to cut, so you'll need something heavier duty than standard office scissors to cut holes for filtration equipment.

If not for the 3 negative reviews below, this item would have 4.5 stars. MEASURE your tank before ordering and don't rely on a search engine to find it for you, use it to GUIDE you. Description is not exactly clear on the depth, so ask the vendor, or look it the item number up elsewhere.

I had ordered the glass top to replace an old one (the plastic hinge had deteriorated over the last ten years). The new glass top arrived completely shattered, so I called the company about it. The box had even been labeled "fragile" and "glass", but apparently the shipping company didn't take it too seriously. When I called Pet Solutions, they immediately sent out a replacement at no charge, which arrived the next day in perfect condition. I was happy with the quick replacement.

Finnex Fugeray-R Ultra Slim Aquarium LED Light Fixture

Finnex Fugeray-R Ultra Slim Aquarium LED Light FixturePerfect for a 10-gallon or smaller tank. I use it for a five gallon that has moss and dwarf hairgrass, and it does its job well. Love the red accents, too.

Received this light yesterday for my 12 by 12 planted cube. I agree with other reviewer that this light would be sufficient for up to a 10 gallon tank. Build quality is strong. Light output/color is very nice and at around 40 bucks, I'd give it an early strong buy rating. I will update once I actually see some growth results.

I have posted pics of red only and both white/red lighting above.

Cheers!

120 Watt Aquarium Coral Reef LED Grow Light 120W, 55x3 Watt Dimmable

120 Watt Aquarium Coral Reef LED Grow Light 120W, 55x3 Watt DimmableLight works great my star polyps and kenya tree are doing great my mushrooms are not such big fans of them though they may be to bright for them. i have two lights on my 120 gallon hanging about 12 inches above. the dimmers are adjusted to about half started and lowest setting and worked them over a couple weeks. I had some issues with shipping it took a whiled longer to receive the lights than sellers stated. contacted the seller and it was straightened out

I usually don't post reviews because I don't have the time. However, I just had to let everybody know how great this light is. First, I was in the market for LED lights for my 150 gallon so I wanted to order one light first to see how I liked the quality. Well, I ordered the TAO Tronics dimmable fixture at first. I really liked TAO tronics but I needed two more lights to completely cover my 150 gallon. Well, I found this light and it looked so much like the TAO Tronics that I took a chance and ordered two of them. Well, the difference is obvious. This light is much brighter than TAO Tronics and has brighter actinic blues. Side by side this light is far superior. Plus, it is dimmable if you need less light. Trust me, I still think TAO tronics is a good light but I believe this light is better and cheaper.

LEDs don't throw off any noticeable heat, controls for white and blue are separate switches and dimmers. All good. Colors of corals, sponges, algaes very striking and poppy under this light. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that unit is on the heavy side and the hanging apparatus it comes with feels a little on the light-weight side when you dangle it over $1000 worth of tank and sea life. Also needs some skill to hang it securely and look presentable in your living room at the same time. But no regrets here!

Health Extension 858755000864 Grain Free Formula, 10-Pound

Health Extension 858755000864 Grain Free Formula, 10-PoundI started out with the original formula, but bought this grain free formula to try. My dog loved both varieties.

I also buy him the canned Health extension variety pack wet food which I mix with this. I feel good about feeding this brand to my new dog, as it was recommeded by my breeder. The kibble provides all the nutrients dogs need to stay healthy.

this is a great purchase! i was very happy with this purchase and would recommend to any one interested in buying it.

Buy Health Extension 858755000864 Grain Free Formula, 10-Pound Now

I have been very impressed with this product; I have tried everything! I'm looking for great digestion, great taste, quality, low cooking temperature (when they make the food; which is important), quality of ingredients beyond the label and a great kibble size. This food has it all. I really love the kibble size, which is larger, and it has strong taste. Since my dogs are so spoiled and I rotate alot of foods, this food ends up being their 'snack', as they love the taste so much and it is good for their teeth, as the kibble size is larger. I also use Fromm and Horizon dog food (grain free AND potato free) in my rotation, which give them great digestion as well. If your dog has allergies, this food might work, but Horizon Pulsar may work better, however, in comparison, this food has a stronger taste and your dog may like it more. You won't be disappointed by trying out this food not many people know about; and before I forget, they also have their own plant!

Cladophora aegargropila "Marimo Ball" Live Algae Ball

Cladophora aegargropila 'Medium Marimo Ball' Live Aquarium Algae BallThe algae ball I received was even bigger and healthier than I had hoped for! It makes a great addition to my tank, and I look forward to ordering more live plants from this seller again.

The Marimo Ball came during cold weather, but it was shipped thoughtfully and well with a little heat pack, so it was in great shape when I got it.

I love this thing. It's a lovely shade of green, and it's nice to look at in my tank.

I ordered the medium (the only size available) but it was definitely much bigger than I was expecting. Medium is a relative term so I had no idea what I was going to get. But my Marimo Ball must be maybe even 2" in diameter. As I said it's very healthy, green on all sides.

I've had it for a month, I think, and it's just peacefully doing its thing.

I did have a problem when I got it. My mollies thought it was a snack bar. They went to town on it. I didn't want to take it out of my tank, so I got a clear, 3 or 4 inch tall, plain 6 oz drinking glass (sort of like a highball glass only a bit rounder) and put that in the tank then set the Marimo Ball in the glass. So I can see it but the fish don't go in the glass too often so it's not getting eaten.

The problem with my little trick is that food gets in there, and the Marimo Ball doesn't roll around on its own. But it didn't roll around in the tank anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. I have a special long handled wooden spoon that I use to plant plants and arrange things. So I just sort of stir over the Marimo Ball with the spoon and create a little vortex to clean out the food from underneath, and turn the ball to a different side to get some light.

It's definitely worth the money for what you get. It's lovely and peaceful and a beautiful green. And it's really easy to take care of. Highly recommended. :)

Great product! healthy and very green with prompt shipping! My beta fish loves it. The packaging was great and kept the little ball of moss in great condition.

Want Cladophora aegargropila "Marimo Ball" Live Algae Ball Discount?

This seller is amaaaazinggg!

The marimo ball is a little larger than 2 inches (I bought the medium sized one), it arrived dark green as pictured, and after a few weeks of being in my betta tank, it's still as green as ever! It came in a sealed plastic bag with heat packs around it.

I bought this because I'm a biology geek.... but for people who are buying it for a tank:

I originally kept the ball in a small bowl to 'cleanse' it, i suppose, before I introduced it into my betta tank. It did just fine in a few days of unfiltered 65 degree water (room temperature). It's been in my tank with filtered, 80 degree water for a few weeks now, and it's doing just fine.

I was worried a bit about it introducing new algae into my tank or spreading algae like mad. I have no filter system, just a 1.5 gallon tank, and I replace the water every week. I've had absolutely no problem with algae infestations (contrary to what pet stores might tell you). My fish actually loves the ball, he wedges himself next to it to rest a lot.

It definitely makes an awesome conversation piece!

New Life Spectrum Goldfish 300g

New Life Spectrum Goldfish 300gI think this is a good product for larger goldfish. I didn't pay much attention to the actual sizing of the pellets when ordering. They are actually pretty large. I have five fancy goldfish. Three or them really enjoy the food! I've had this tank set up for a year and a half now. I've always fed them good quality flake food that would float at the top, then eventually some would make its way to the bottom so that it how they had been used to getting there food. Then I switched to this and, I don't know if my goldfish are just slow to catch on, but it look them a few days to understand that they had yo swim down to get the food. Like I said, three of them have no problems, but one kinda seems not so interested in the food. He is my oldest fish, and my smallest too, so maybe he's just not an eager eater. The other one that has trouble. He is an eager eater, but I noticed he has some sort of a deformity with his upper lip. I can only describe it as something that looks like clef lip for gold fish. So he can't really open his mouth all that wide to take in the pellets easily. I noticed this when I started using this food and watched him struggle. I've been using this food now about two-three months. He is growing, so he must be getting some.

I do like this food for them. I think next time though I will order the smaller pellets.

I have been using this food for my two fancy goldfish for over a year. It sinks quickly so I don't have to worry about the fish swallowing air at the surface.

Buy New Life Spectrum Goldfish 300g Now

One of the best fish foods on the market, no fillers, no fake ingredients. Im very impressed. Since the food is so rich, you have to feed alot less, but remember, goldfish do not have stomachs so they need a constant supply of carbs, so they should be fed small amounts 2x a day...this will allow you to enjoy them at their full potential. Something else i noticed is that any uneaten food for this brand gets fuzzy(spoiled) very fast and tend to float under ordainment and driftwood. so make sure you search everywhere when you do your water change/gravel vacuum

I will buy this product again, along with their entire line of food, to feed all my fish

Finnex Ray2 Aquarium LED Daylight, 16-Inch

Finnex Ray2 Aquarium LED Daylight, 16-InchThis is a great led light. Slim profile allows it to be installed into a light hood. My biggest gripe with this light is, the led's do NOT span the full width of the light.

The led spread is only 10.5 inches of the 16 inches, ie, there is much space in which there are no LED's. There is 34% of unlighted area, of the 16". So, the next question you ask, is this normal with LED lights to have much of the light without LED elements? The 24" version of this light has pretty much full 24" coverage, ie, the LED's span the full 24". It truly bedazzles me why Finnex chose to leave 34% of the 16" light fixture unlighted.

Note, with LED lights, they do not have much light spread, thus, unless you suspend the light way above your tank, you will not get any more light spread than the led element width. Thus, if you plan to use this light to light a planted freshwater tank, do not expect to plant more than 11 inches wide of plants.

As such, we returned this light for the 24" version.

If you are new to planted freshwater tanks and are doing research on what is the best lights to get, you can look up theplantedtank.net which has great non-commercial information on planted tank lighting.

Fresh out of the box, and not even a week old, this is an amazing light. HUGE upgrade over my old T8 fixture. Visual spectrum is very good, and so far my plants seem to like it, though it's a bit early to tell on that one. Runs at a good temperature (slightly warm to touch, but nowhere near warm enough to need to worry about) and has excellent light spread. I do wish they had something a little better than plastic screws to secure the legs to the tank wall, said legs seem to be designed mostly for "rimless" aquariums, and while they fit on mine alright, it could be better. Other than that one small design flaw, this is a stunning light brand new, and I intend to update this review in a month or two.

Buy Finnex Ray2 Aquarium LED Daylight, 16-Inch Now

I was not happy to receive a 16" version with only 10.5" of LEDs. I exchanged it for a 24" and I'm very happy with the 24".

If you want the 16" width to clamp to the side of your tank, this may be good for you. If you actually want about 16" of LED lighting, look elsewhere.

General Finnex Ray2 Daylight info:

LED strip is about 1" wide per 8 LEDs. Product description shows the number of LEDs. This may be important to you because 16" version only has 10.5" of LEDs. The 30" version has the exact same LED strip as the 24" version.

Obtain the number of LEDs from the product description and divide by 8 to obtain width of LED strip.
