Great price for the big bottle. Great product. My corals and my fish love it. I would definitely recommend this product to other people.

Product is okay but it's not particularly dense in plankton. I'm not expecting a thick slurry of plankton but even so, the amount of plankton you get is pretty low compared to water amount.

Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium OrnamentMarineland Eclipse 12 Gallon tank, newly setup. The statue will look much nicer with moss and algae and more plants growing around it.

I love this ornament! I got it for my 20 gallon tank, and it's awesome. It's very nicely made and not cheap-looking, like so many other aquarium ornaments. Although the amazon.com description does not include this info, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this ornament comes with a vent to hook it up to an air filter. However, you will have to provide an airstone (as well as the air line and air pump, of course), because there is no airstone connected to the air vent. Overall, I'm thrilled with this piece and I'm glad it was available here, because I haven't seen it in any stores at all.

I really like this. It very realistic and looked perfect when my plants started filling in around it. I attached an air hose and with a small, slow bubble flow it attracts compliments from all my visitors. The only caveat I have is that when cleaning I bumped the nose and a small patch of the outer skin came off, revealing the plastic underneath. Right on the nose! But it didn't look too bad so I left it and it now has a light dusting of algae which is covering the 'blemish' on her nose, making it look even more like old stone. I'm not sure whether I was too rough or it's a fault in manufacturing but other reviewers seem to appreciate the high quality of it's construction and otherwise it been fine.

Nymphoides aquatica "Banana Plant" Live Aquarium Plant

Nymphoides aquatica 'Banana Plant' Live Aquarium PlantVery small but appears healthy. No snails were detected in any of the plants received. Will do business. with this company again

The plant was VERY tiny, smaller than a golf ball, and there was only one leaf growing from the rhizomes. There does appear to be some evidence of new growth, however, so I'll have to see how it progresses long term. In my opinion it definitely does not measure up to this seller's usual high quality plants.

Penn Plax Twin Beta Bow-Front Kit for Aquarium

Penn Plax Twin Beta Bow-Front Kit for AquariumThis is WAY too small. Despite common misconceptions, bettas do NOT like to be kept in tiny containers. They do NOT live in small puddles their entire lives. They live in rice paddies that are flooded in the rainy season and slowly dry up. Bettas have adapted to survive in shallow water, but will not thrive in a cup.

Ammonia will build up quickly in a container like this. Also, the temperature will fluctuate. Bettas need clean fresh water and a stable tropical temperature. Failing to meet these needs will result in illness and eventually death.

If you want to keep a betta, there are many wonderful online resources. Do some research before you buy one of these amazing creatures!

All I have to say is, if you are heartless enough to consider keeping a betta in this, save yourself the shipping and handling and put it in a 2liter soda bottle. I'm sure it would have more space to swim in that than in this.

Buy Penn Plax Twin Beta Bow-Front Kit for Aquarium Now

Don't buy this tank! I bought one and it was small. It also LEAKED and almost killed my fish. Luckily I put water back in it and the fish survived for now and I'm awaiting for them to fully recover. This is the most horrible design of a tank and needs to be recalled and fixed. The water stopper at the bottom can get a miniature fracture in it that you cant see because the whole stopper is black and can start leaking water overnight. My heart almost stopped to see the fishies trying to survive on the bottom of the tank. I would stay away from this tank as you can see from all the reviews.

Read Best Reviews of Penn Plax Twin Beta Bow-Front Kit for Aquarium Here

Are you people who buy this thing blind? In the picture you can plainly see that poor fish is cramped! All it can doo is swim around in a tiny circle around that sharp plant, dragging his delicate silk like fins across it's sharp points! That picture is fake anyway, any betta who had to live in that bowl would never flare his fins out even that far! He would clamp them to his body to provect them from the plant and save some space! How would you seriously like to live in a closet with a big coat rack with sharp edges in the middle? I am not being over dramatic, this "tank" (cup) is the most horrible thing you could do to a fish! I had this once and I QUICKLY rehomed my poor fish (as in I dropped him in and pulled him right back out!) I bought him a 2 gallon fish bowl with a under ground filter. People always complain that bettas don't live long and they are too fragile, well, I have seen betta's kept in 5 gallon tanks with filtration systems and daily feeding of high qualtity betta food and bloodworks live for 10 years or longer!!! and they never got sick! If you care at all about your fish, you will at LEAST get a simple 1 gallon kit with an under gravel filter, they sell very cheap depending on where you go, as low as 11 dollars at Walmart! Please don't torture your fish! you would never imagine putting your ferret or cat or dog in a hamster cage, would you?

Want Penn Plax Twin Beta Bow-Front Kit for Aquarium Discount?

I am actually glad to see there are this many people against this aweful sham of a betta "home". This is just plain outrageous. Sure a betta CAN survive in something this small, but a human CAN survive living in a closet. Would you want to though? Well neither does your betta!

And the Silica gravel stuff at the bottom...wow, just, wow...they print "Do Not Eat" on the little packages of Silica for a reason! (you know the ones they put in new shoes to absorb moisture) It amazes me that some people think thats safe to put in with a LIVE ANIMAL!!!

Coralife Lunar Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Fixture

Coralife 53404 Lunar Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Fixture, 36-InchGreat fixture!! Great price and great quality. Great service!! fixture was $5 cheap next day and recieved lesser price and fast shipment with tracking number next day.

Good lighting fixture except for one problem. After one month one of the LED moon lights has lost its intensity. It still comes on but it is not very bright and I have no idea how to replace it or even if I will be able to find a replacement bulb.

I've had this clf for about a year. I've had no problems with it and it's made an enormous difference in my corals. The lunar lights are cool too! I never knew some much "other" activity went on at night. Now I can watch that activity without disturbing the contents of my tank.

The moon light effect on this fixture is pretty incredible. Two blue LEDs give the impression of night swimming. The fish love it and it really looks cool in the bedroom!

U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator

U.P. Aqua Co2 IndicatorThis is kind of a hard product to get wrong, considering how simple it is, so I wasn't surprised when it worked. The hardest part was mixing the proper kH reference solution to fill it with. This wasn't hard (baking soda and water), but it would have been nice if the included instructions described the process, rather than adding the indicator solution to a sample of tank water. Using 4 dkH reference solution will give you more accurate results than tank water, and is pretty easy to do if you have a kH test kit (like this one API KH (CARBONATE HARDNESS) TEST KIT. )

After adding the reference solution and indicator, I flipped it over and put it in the tank. It remained green. Hmm. Does it work? I turned off my co2 system for 24 hours. It turned blue. So far so good. Ever the scientist, I then cranked the system up. After a few hours, the indicator turned a yellowish-green. I backed off, pointed a powerhead at the surface to off-gas some of the extra co2. It turned back to green. Looks good to me.

Does what you'd expect. The only minor flaw I could find is that the suction cup will only stay put for about a week, slowly allowing air back in. I find myself squishing it back flat weekly, worried that it'll fall off.

Buy U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator Now

I was a little hesitant purchasing this....but it's simplicity is surprising and it seems to work as described. The instructions are a little sparse but in reality there's really not that much to say. Add the fluid...place in aquarium....compare the color to the included color chart.

Read Best Reviews of U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator Here

This is the first co2 indicator I have bought. It is made of plastic, but does the job. You could say it is better than glass because it's less fragile. I believe the indicator works, it changes color as I increase my co2 with the U.P. Aqua atomizer. The one issue I had was putting the fluid in the clear cap then attaching the base, but then you have to flip the unit over to get it facing the right way, but some of the fluid came out of the opening, which can be expected, I guess. Maybe I need more practice. Overall does what it was supposed to do.

Want U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator Discount?

Yet another failure on my end for making this purchase, o ring wasn't tight enough to clear plastic cover and the solution slowly started to seep out and into my tank had to take it out not even 24 hours after I received it was hoping it would have worked because its not that big and doesn't look that bad either. Buy at your own risk you might get a good one

Two Little Fishies ATLPBR150 GFO PhosBan Reactor 150

Two Little Fishies ATLPBR150 GFO PhosBan Reactor 150I purchased two of these TLF reactors so that I could run them in series. I decided to run D-Nitrate in One and Activated Carbon in the other to try and bring the Nitrate/Nitrite numbers down in my 75 gallon ref. To early to tell yet whether these two have actually reduced my numbers, but there is no doubt that the water in the tank is now more crystal clear than before. Is it the carbon in the reactor along with less feeding that is clearing up the water cloumn, or is it just the fact that the Reef is now more mature than it was before this installation? Only time will tell how effective these are in reducing the Nitrate level in the reef. As for hooking them up in series, they do require some minor engineering and plumbing alterations, but if you are adpt at working with a refugium, and a somewhat sophisticated sump, this should be a piece of cake. I say should because I have a great plumbing supply house nearby, with a great salesman who will stop at nothing to keep the number of pieces in play to get this running at a minimum. If you only have a Lowes or Home Depot nearby, or a good hardware store, you can generally find the necessary items there to accomplish the task. I would have rated these a 5 "Star" item had I found the inclusion of the necessary plumbing parts included in the original packaging. As far as bang for the buck is concerned, these certainly meet that criteria and i would highly reccommend them to other mixed reef keepers looking to inexpensively add Phosphate or nitrate reactors to their systems.

This is a very useful product that helps me to bring the phosphate problem under control, finally. I use it on my 44 gal aquarium for a month now and it is still taking out all of the phosphate. However, it should be noticed that it will require some experience and skill level on getting this unit prepqred, particularly the initial backwash portion. I used a T connector to hook it up to a Maxijet 1200 pump and use a reducer on the outlet end of the T to create some back-pressure. This way I can use the same pump to provide both circulation (in the aqaurium) and enough flow to go through this Phosphate Reactor. I set this up in a sink and backwash the reactor with tap water (no PO4 in the tap here in Seattle) and ran it for at about 30 minutes to get rid of the fines as much as possible before I transfer it to the aquarium. Getting the right flow rate for an ideal fluidized bed could be tricky, but doable. I would not recommend using salt water from the tank for backwash and flow adjustment, wasting valuable salt.

Just like other reviews say, it does exactly what it says it does in a durable fahion. Evenly pass water through your phosphate media to get rid of of phosphates and ultimately control algae. Very happy with mine. NOt sure what they recommend but I use a maxi jet 400 pump for mine on my 90 gal tank so that water passes through it slowly.

Exotic Environments Cobblestone Castle Walls Aquarium Ornament, 10-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch

Exotic Environments Cobblestone Castle Walls Aquarium Ornament, 10-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-InchIt is a sturdy wall decoration that looks great underwater. I like the colors and the swim holes. I am using as the main piece in a five gallon hex though it could certainly be used in any size larger tank as well. It is the exact size for the effect that I was looking for. Will add picture as well.

It's large and nice looking, but way to sharp for a Betta fish. I didn't return it because it will be fine with any other fish, but the Betta's tail would rip on these edges.

Would recommend for a large focus piece in a 10/20 gallon tank as well. Excellent value. This is a Hollow piece, so you want to make sure no fish are under the base portion when you place in tank or fish could become trapped.(only during placement could that happen)

Tetra 26316 Whisper Filter 10, 5-10-Gallon

Tetra 26316 Whisper Filter 10, 5-10-GallonProduct works well. I use it for my betta tank. Flow of water can be a little strong for the bettas. Due to this, I wish this product had a way to control the water flow.

This is perfect for my 10 gallon tank, creates crystal clear water. Fits nicely in back of tank, light hood fits around filter, no problem...The flow is a bit strong, solved this by putting a piece of plastic in front of outflow ( wedged it in there between hood and filter). It's very quiet too.

Buy Tetra 26316 Whisper Filter 10, 5-10-Gallon Now

The bare minimum needed from a hang on back filter is to have water go in through the intake, pass through the filtration media, and return to the tank at the output. This filter gets that aspect of the job done. However, there aren't many other reasons to purchase the Whisper PF10 over other hang on back filters in the same price range. After a few months of use, several of my filters became loud, and required periodic adjusting to get water to come out of the intended outflow area (water sometimes comes out of the region above the intake tube like other reviewers have pointed out). One of my Whisper PF10 filters even started to leak at its base recently. Unless you can get this filter dirt cheap, I would NOT recommend buying it.

I've had the filter for about 4 months now, and it seems to filter the water nicely. The water flow is too strong, however, which forces food flakes into the tank before the fish have a chance to eat from the top. Small fish also have to fight the flow if they are not careful.

Purely Products PUVLF350 20-Watt UV-C Germicidal Ultraviolet Replacement Bulb

Purely Products PUVLF350 20-Watt UV-C Germicidal Ultraviolet Replacement BulbThis product was recommended since i purchased the Pondmaster 2920 20 watt UV pond water light clarifier. Unfortunately I took for granted that this was actually the correct replacement part since all documentation seemed to match and it was "recommended". It was about 1/4" too long, and when trying to screw the housing cap back on it shattered the bulb. Glass fragments got stuck in the necks of the unit itself and I was unable to get them out. So I had to wind up getting an entire new unit. Lesson learned measure twice. Also never recieved any response to a previous product rating with the supplier.

Elite 1-Inch Cylinder Air Stone

Marina 1-Inch Cylinder Air Stone, 4-PackI've had these for a few months now and they are still working great. One tip though, let them soak in your aquarium for at least 10 minutes before you turn your pump on. I use mine with this pump Tetra 77854 Whisper Air Pump, 60-Gallon which comes with a couple of knobs to regulate air flow for less/more bubbles. I did not notice any manufacturer deffects on these stones, they are well made and like I said, they have been working 24/7 for a few months with not a single issue. I haven't noticed any chipping or breaking.

The stones fit standard airline tubing. Once you open the pack, place any unused stones in a ziplock back to keep them from collecting dust.

All in all, a great value. Durable, reliable, low priced.

These things are sooo tiny! I don't know why, but I was expecting something on the bulbous side of one inch, but these are quite tiny and of course make a ton of bubbles.

For fresh water applications, this product deserves 4 stars. This assumes that you attach the airstone once (don't constantly connect and disconnect the airline tubing from the stone).

When you receive a box of these airstones and first connect them, your impression might be an automatic 5 stars. The water will be bubble-rich. If you run these airstones for a couple weeks and need to disconnect them from their airline, you'll realize they have a 50/50 chance of completely breaking apart in your hand. As far as disconnecting these airstones, I always feel there is a 50/50 chance of them breaking on disconnect (completely crumbling into nothing). IMO they lose a star there.

This is where I take another star: I am running a hydroponics deep-water culture which requires a nutrient solution. After running a brand new air stone in a deep-water culture, bubbles will be rich for a few days, and plants will be happy. After two or three weeks, I notice almost no bubbles reaching the surface of the water, and after I inspect the plant's root zone, the airstone is the problem.

You can unclog these airstones effectively by running them overnight in a water/peroxide mixture, or by soaking them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, but when they have a 50/50 chance of breaking every time you switch them out ... they aren't worth cleaning or replacing.

I took these airstones out of my hydroponics application, and bought a stronger air pump. My plants seem happier with no airstone and more bubbles coming from the actual air pump. Assuming your check-valves are in place, there's nothing to clog. The next time I absolutely need an airstone, I will most likely drill tiny holes in some airline tubing and use a T connector to wrap a circle.

These 1-inch airstones were amazing until they gave me a headache.

Petco Air Control Kit for Fresh & Saltwater Aquariums

Petco Air Control Kit for Fresh & Saltwater Aquariumsso I ordered this just to control the amount of air being pumped into my fishbowl (if the pump was going full plast the poor little guy would be sent whriling around the bowl). It works pretty well. The knob sometimes slipps off if you turn it too far and there isnt' anything to anchor the tube to anything outside the bowl. There are several control valves and an equal number of splitters to divide the airflow to extra bowls.I'd reccomend this only if you have two fish bowls or just want to regulate the air flow to one bowl.

I installed two airstones in my tank and could not keep them from popping up and whipping around, no matter how I tried to bury the tubing. I found this product and it works great. The suction cups stick to the side of the tank well and have not popped off yet. The tubing is held in place as well as the airstones. It also comes with valve controls which are great to adjust the flow of the air through the airstones. It was inexpensive and well worth the purchase.

Hydor H2Show Atlantis Background with Application Gel for Aquariums 31.5"x15.75"

Hydor H2Show Atlantis Background with Application Gel for Aquariums 31.5'x15.75'This is my first use of Aquarium Background Gel and I will never use tape again! The gel makes the background airtight on the tank, but you can still manipulate the background whenever you want.

The background itself is vivid and makes great use of big formations like a cave or in my opinion tech looking buildings. I have a Blue LED Hydor Volcano and plan to place some more black and blue to contrast with the background.

If you have an LED Light or Black light, it should make the background look even better.

its okay...i tried itand stuff but it was dark and if u dont have the theme toys with it its not that cool looking also the dark background dont light up or 'shine" ur acquarium so i dont think u should get it if u ask my opinion

R2 36 Inch Signature Series Aquarium Moonlight

R2 36 Inch Signature Series Aquarium MoonlightI bought the 24" version from That Pet Place, and after realized that I paid more than the Mfr's Suggested Retail price of $46. While I love the moonlight LED's affect on my 26 Gal. Flat Back Hex freshwater tank, I don't like paying more than the Mfr. suggests I pay. I called TPP and a mgr. gave me what I wanted, a $7.59 product for free. All the other sizes are priced below MSRP at TPP, so I think my price was a mistake. I also, have called and emailed the Mfr with two questions: 1. What is the wattage per LED, and 2. Does the spectrum of these LED's have any kind of beneficial affect on live plants? They have been unresponsive so far after 5 days, and someone at R2 Soultions said the one person that can answer my question on "spectrum" would answer me three days ago. However, I am definitely enjoying these moonlights that I leave on all night, since they don't seem to disturb the sleep of my fish.

5/3/11 UPDATE = Thanks to That Pet Place, I now have a new unit. I'm glad I didn't have to deal directly with the mfr.! There is a six months warranty on these that my seller has authority to handle warranty issues on, and my first one lasted only 5 1/2 months! Three of the twelve LED's in my 24" unit went out for some reason. My replacement seems to illuminate much brighter than my first one ever did, so I'm wondering if the mfr. has improved these lights since I first bought mine?

This light is very flimsy but is very bright and penetrates deep into my 65 gal high tank. My only complaint is that the screws that hold the end caps on were loose and one was just rattling around in the box, but for the price compared to others on the market it is great. I only gave 3 stars due the fact that i had to walk to the junk drawer and do somebody elses job and tighten the screws. As for longevity of the product i don't know yet. I only have this for a few hours.
