Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium Ornament
Buy Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium Ornament Now
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.Read Best Reviews of Exotic Environments Ancient Stone Head Ruin Aquarium Ornament Here

Penn Plax Twin Beta Bow-Front Kit for Aquarium
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.

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
Buy Coralife Lunar Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Fixture Now
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.Read Best Reviews of Coralife Lunar Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Fixture Here
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!The "day" lamps also work great for live plants. I'm very pleased!

U.P. Aqua Co2 Indicator
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.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.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.

Exotic Environments Cobblestone Castle Walls Aquarium Ornament, 10-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch
The guppies, neons & cory cat can swim through the openings easily. Colors look great, is exactly what I was looking for.
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
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.-TBM

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.I was having issues with it at first with it not sucking up the eater but when i filled it up with water myself it worked great!Monday, March 31, 2014

I buy this bulb annually for a Koi pond anti-algae application. It has always worked perfectly. This year the bulb arrived by Fed Ex. The box had a deep crush mark on one end and when I opened it, the bulb was broken. I advised the manufacture via the Amazon process and they replaced the bulb promptly.

API Leaf Zone Aquarium Plant Food, 8-Ounce
I don't have a powerful light on my 20 gallon tank, but it really doesn't matter when you use this.
Before using my plants were a tad brown, now just after 3 weeks they look great and all the brown has gone away.
A lot better than the seachem plant care.API Leaf Zone works great, dose once a week. Stimulates plant growth visibly.
I'm using it with CO2 Booster & my planted aquarium looks great. Also w/Marineland 48" Doublebright LED
I plan to keep using it.

Elite 1-Inch Cylinder Air Stone
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.

Unlike the other reviewer, my product arrived in great condition and worked completely as expected. I'd order this again. Bubble bubble bubble :)I had to change the air tubing. Trying to take of this NEW air stone off, it crushed/crumbles and totally fell apart. I have never had and air stone do that before. Very poor product I would never buy again.Filter of excellent quality, providing good bubbles to my aquarium keeping the water well oxygenated, product of warm, Durable air stone diffuses water in every direction Helps release carbon dioxide build-upWednesday, February 19, 2014

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