Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Digital Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-Gallon

Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Digital Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-GallonI installed this item in my aquarium right away. It warmed the water in our 55 gallon tank fairly quickly. I was impressed.

Pros:

Visual appeal Thermometer/heater unit anyway.

Temperature is easy to read.

Heats quickly.

Keeps water temperature constant.

Cons:

Thermostat looks cheap and is hard to hide because its attached so closely to the the unit that you need to keep it close.

Programing the temperature settings is more difficult than most units.

Suction cups that hold the thermometer/heater unit are poorly made causing them to constantly lose their grip. I am continuously having to replace the suction cups to the inside of the tank.

Over all the unit works as I need it to. I have a 55 gallon tank and it has no problem keeping the water at the required temperature. I purchased this unit in January and have had it now for a little over 3 months. If I have any issues I will let you know.

Finnex used to be a top brand with heaters that worked for years and years. Now the warranty only cover 180 days because if it lasts much longer you are on borrowed time.

Time to find a new brand for me. These are far too expensive to be disposable.

#500 Pellets - 2 lbs. Fish Food

#500 Pellets - 2 lbs. Fish FoodVery, very inexpensive and the ingredient list seems healthy for my fish but this food disintegrates almost immediately after hitting the water. My tanks look like big fishy snowglobes with brown floaties for many hours after feedings.

My fish don't really like this food that much (they let it float on the water for a long time). The fish have voted it one star but I'll give it two just to be nice...but joking aside, I'd pass on this next time and suggest you do too.

My fish do LOVE these pellets however: Tetra Pond Sticks, 3.53 Ounces

Hope this helps! Keep those fish happy!

JW Pet Company ActivAir Floating Satellite Aquarium Ornament

JW Pet Company ActivAir Floating Satellite Aquarium OrnamentI'm not usually one to buy air ornaments, but I came across this looking at airstones and the idea of a satellite in my tank tickled me so I gave it a shot. Have had it running for a couple of weeks now and it works great.

I didn't know what sort of motion it would have when I ordered it based on the description, but this is what it does: the air bubbles out of the top of the satellite neat the antennas, the panels rotate. The satelite itself slowly rotates from side to side from the panels moving, but the ornament stays in the same place that it is floating. It won't travel around the tank.

It isn't small, arout 6 inches wide from panel tip to panel tip. I have it in a 60 gallon tall aquarium. The weight is heavy and sturdy. I would have liked to have it be smaller so it wouldn't take up so much space. Other than the size, this is a cool thing to see.

Pet Greens Treats Jerky-Style Dog Treats

Pet Greens Treats Lamb and Chicken Jerky for DogsMy dog is 16 now and has always been a finicky eater, it has always been hard to find things she likes, but these are one of her favorites! They are also so healthy. She has also always had itchy skin in the late summer to fall, I found these treats last fall and this past summer her skin was so much better, hardly any itching. I would recommend them. Be sure to read the directions though, the amount you give your dog is recommended by their weight. They are also good for dogs if they tend to eat grass.

My wife and I share our home with the Three Muske-Terriers: A male Westie, a male Cesky and, the Empress-of-All-She-Surveys, a female Scotty. The Empress is alergic to wheat, (along with corn and soy), so I had my doubts concerning Pet Greens Roasted Chicken Recipe w/ Wheat Grass Dog Treats wheat grass after all is just "juvenile" wheat. But apparently not to worry! We're half way through our first bag and no allergic reaction, (you haven't lived until you've seen a crazed Scotty in the middle of an allergic frenzy chewing on her tootsies). Now, putting aside her allergies, the Empress will eat almost anything and so will the Cesky. But the Westie gives new meaning to the term "finicky" and Asta gives these treats five barks I mean, stars. So what's up here?

The treats are mostly roasted chicken meal, supplemented with dried chicory extract, organic ground wheat grass powder, lecithin, salt, cultured whey and garlic, preserved with "mixed tocopherols," (I'm not a chemist, but I think that's a fancy name for vitamin E, sourced from vegetable oil). The wheat grass doesn't contain any wheat glutten which I think is the reason it doesn't trigger the Empress' allergies. Wheat grass is an excellent source of any and all of the nutrients contained in fresh vegetables.

The treats are small "jerky-like" rectangles no more than an inch by 3/4s of an inch, and maybe 1/16 of an inch thick, (they may be more appropriate for small to medium size dogs a large dog would want three or four at a time). They're great for a quick reward and at only about 4 calories a piece, there's not much danger that your dog is going to put on unwanted pounds, (however I wouldn't suggest that you carry them loose in your pocket or purse they smell strongly of garlic I keep 'em in a zip lock baggie).

As far as I can tell, the ingrediants are all natural, but only the wheat grass is organic if you are interested in organic treats, I suggest that you check out those made by Wagatha or Robbie Dawg.

Bottom Line: I think that Pet Greens offers both a change of flavor and a change in texture from most common dog treats. The Three Muske-Terriers are scarfing 'em down your furry buddy probably will too.

I was looking for a product that is not made in China, contains mostly meat and does without a long list of unhealthy ingredients. Having older rescued dogs with very few teeth, the treats also needed to be soft enough for them to chew. Pet Greens Treats fulfilled all of these requirements. The dogs aren't crazy about them, but will eat them. With all the dubious treats coming from China, this is a good choice.

It took my dogs a minute the very first time I gave them these. But after they sniffed it for the first time and ate it. They were hooked. Now if my dog even sees the bag he starts drooling. They just love them! I just wish they were a little more affordable...

Marina Betta Pals Kit

Marina Betta Pals Kit, Contemporary ThemeI really wish people would really educate themselves about betta splendens and their housing requirements. These so-called 'betta kits' are not acceptable by any serious aquarist. This tank is clearly too small. A betta fish needs a larger tank that is big enough for a heater to fit inside it. Bettas are tropical fish and they do need a heater to regulate their body temperature and keep them healthy (room temperature water will not help keep a fish heal its fins if it has fin rot or shredded its fins for some other reason). Secondly bettas are intelligent, curious creatures who likes to swim around and through things. This tank does not provide the space for that kind of activiity. With this little prison, er, tank, the fish is just going to sit there and eventually bite its tail due to boredom. If you want to get a betta fish, at least get a medium Kritter Keeper, a mini hyor heater, and a few silk plants and nice bridge for the fish. I wouldn't even use this fish prison for water changes or as a hospital.

I have a hard time understanding why Marina would sell & market a fish tank specifically marketed for Bettas when after researching betta fish it's so clear that this tank size is tiny and cruel to keep a fish in?

I bought this at Petsmart one day when I decided to get a betta for my daughter's birthday present, and I just figured since it was specifically a "Betta kit" that it was humane and an appropriate size for a betta. Unfortunately, upon getting home with my betta tank all set up, I Googled a bit to learn more about this fish and read in several different places (from both professionals, veterinarians, and fish enthusiasts) that a 1/2 gallon betta aquarium is WAY too small and cruel to put the fish in. And after letting the fish live in this aquarium for a few weeks, I know they're right. My fish sits in the corner, facing the corner all day, despite regular cleaning his fins are pulled close to the body, he barely moves except to eat. It's very clear this fish is stressed out.

Finally, I picked up a 1.5 gallon tank and hoping it will help, as well as some natural plants for him to hide behind. Just got it tonight, so we'll see.

But my problem is I just think it's incredibly misleading for Marina to market & sell aquariums for Bettas that they MUST KNOW are TOO SMALL for these beautiful fish to thrive in. My fish survived, sure, but as one professional put it in their article on Bettas: "Surviving and thriving are two very different things." And as for my, I want a happy & healthy fish.

So, shame on you Marina for selling aquariums like this! I'm certain there are many more unaware buyers like myself that assume because the pet store sells it, it must be appropriate for their pet. Very misleading. Great design! But just not enough for even one fish.

And to other buyers, please do your research on bettas before buying. They are beautiful, fun fish. Give them a good life!

Admittedly, I am not a fish purist. I was simply looking for a nice, compact fishtank for my 2.5-year-old to keep a betta in his room. I bought the Marina Betta Pals kit in green from a local box retailer and moved Pickle into his home. He ate, pooped, made bubble nests and was lively. He seemed very happy for the 3 years that he lived there before passing away, in spite of his small domain. My son is now almost 8 and on his second betta who has been with us for 2.5 years now. Again, every indication is that the fish is not unhappy with his surroundings. So yes, this is a small tank, but its small size is a bonus in a kid's room. It is easy to clean, easy to open to feed the fish, and has a lid to protect the fish from our curious cats and random Legos. And the fish just don't appear to be distressed in it.

I'm a betta hobbist and I know about all the misconceptions that betta can live in just about anything and it is bogus. This "aquarium" is way too small, betta require atleast one gallon of water and that needs to be cleaned 1-2x weekly atleast. This is probably 1/2 gallon or less meaning you either clean it every day, t hus stressing your betta out and killing it or let is die a slow death from ammonia burns and other ills. This also has no lighting leave betta looking dull and boring, no heating or ability to heat so your house must stay warm where your betta is and it just isn't good. You can also buy large Critter Carriers (2-3 gallons) for the same price or less, it wouldn't be great, but it'd be a heck of a lot better.

I liked this tank because I don't have a lot of space away at school. It fits one betta fish (no more than one).

There is no room for a filter-but a plant helps with maintaining the oxygen levels and keeping wastes down. I clean up the food my picky betta misses with a net. I also change about a quarter of the water in my tank every 2 days. It has held up really nicely so far. My betta is happy. I wish I had room for toys. Poor guys bored and stares at me half the time :-) lol. I think he needs something to do.

Aquatop CF400UV 4-Stage Canister Filter with UV 9W, 370 gph

Aquatop CF400UV 4-Stage Canister Filter with UV 9W, 370 gphWhen my Penn-Plax canister gave up, this was the least expensive replacement on-line. I took a chance and ordered it. It arrived before the projected delivery date, in good shape, complete except for the "blue sponge pad" which was in the instruction diagram but may not have been an actual componenet my first complaint: the instructions leave a lot to be desired. I assembled the pump and fired it up. The ultra-violet light was an altogether new concept to me it seems to be doing a great job...my water remains clear and apparently bacteria free.

My fish give this 5 stars, but they don't have to maintain it. My last two compaints are in the cleaning and servicing area: There's no handle to carry it by grab with both hands and hang on and it has to be full of water for the siphon to effectively start...no big deals, but Penn Plax had that covered with their Cascade filters.

A neat feature is the inlet tube, which has a built in cleaning tube connection so you can vacumm your tank with a siphon-type cleaner by removing a cap and attaching your siphon hose to it and vacumm your gravel...at least I think that's what it is, as the instructions completely avoid this feature, but it works.

The inlet/outlet hose disconnect seems to be a good idea, but I haven't cleaned my hoses yet it's very simple to disconnect a big plus for me, as my filter sits inside a cabinet that's not much wider than the filter.

I use my filter to filter not set up a colony of bacteria to biologically control the water, so the ceramic filter "beads" get no special attention, and the filter pads get rinsed along with the charcoal bag (which is an excellent addition as it can be unzipped and refilled if needed).

This is a 3 stage filter which can be easily cleaned. Detailed instructions,a carrying handle and the ability to start the siphon with no water in the filter would make cleaning easier (this cost them one star) but it's not a major inconveience my filter is housed in a narrow cabinet. If it were sitting on the floor, it would be no problem. The ultra-violet light, siphon attachment on the intake tube and tubing and fittings are positive additions. In the past six weeks, I've cleaned my filter once it's due again, but I'd say 3 weeks is what I'll be looking at, and my tank is crowded...fewer fish would make for fewer cleanings. I'd recommend it to a friend, and if I ever get another tank, this is the filter I'll buy.

You cannot get a better canister filter for the price. The water in my tank is crystal clear. When this came in I was missing the outlet cover but I e-mailed the company and they sent one to me no charge. The only thing I would make a little more detailed is the instruction booklet. The hoses are a little tricky to get on at first and priming it is not as easy as the video makes it seem but once all of that is done, it is wonderful. So far so good!

I have a 1-year old 25-gallon marine tank with live rock/sand, 1 Chromis, 1 Damsel:

My canister filter has been going for over a month now and greatly outdoes my last filter. My fish look great, the water is clearer. You can't imagine how happy I was to find the filter with a UV Sterilizer built in. This saved so much space and a ton of money! After working in a petstore over 3 years, I am very impressed with this product and would compare it with Eheim and Fluval, except the Aquatop filters look nicer. Overall, very pleased.

I went from a 20 gallon aquarium to a 55 gallon one, and my Marineland-PC0250HSB-Magnum-55-Gallon-250GPH just wasn't doing to job. I have a 7 inch red eared slider. I needed something more powerful, but didn't want to spend over $100. After reading TONS of reviews, I felt this was the most bang for the buck. It's for an aquarium double the size I have, but turtles are dirty.

I was also having some surface algea which I had never had in the smaller tank. I used to have algea eaters, but now that he is bigger, he pretty much as ate all his tank mates, even the snails. He has a dock that sits above the water, and there was algea on the steps that I would have to clean off, and on the top of the peebles on the flooring. I started to get one of those UV algea power heads, but this I saw this, and thought maybe it would handle both needs. IT DID!!! I didn't see anything about surface algea (only green water) on the reviews, but took a chance and thought it might work. I did a half water change, and hook the this bad boy up, I purposely left all the surface algea. By two days later, it had vanished.

I never really had a problem with dirty water, but in true turtle fashion, he likes to dig a lot in his gravel. My old filter would get clogged up in two weeks with out fail. And if it was a really active digging day, he could get the water very cloudy. With this one, I don't see any debris. As soon as he stirs it up, the filter knocks it out.

I really like the return bar also. Instead of a pouring sound like the old one made (where the return is just a single pipe with a directional flow head) that just made me have to pee all the time, this is more like a water fall or fountain sound. It also has the option of extending the return lower to put it closer to the water, and lessen the noise. If have fish, and the tank is full, I guess this would be under water so you would hear it at all. He likes swimming through the bubble water the return creates, and I guess this might help with oxygenation of the water too for fish. The only fish that I put in there are food...so I am not worried about that.

The canister itself is very sturdy. The only "cheap" parts I wasn't impressed were the plastic parts that actually go into the tank, but they seem to work fine. I didn't have to buy anything special except filter media. To start I used exactly what the directions recommended. Sponge in the bottom, charcoal in the middle, and bio balls in the top. Seems to work fine, I can always adjust it later. The light is inside a thing, so you dont' have to worry about breaking it. It went together fine, and was pretty easy even without directions. I filled the canister up before attempting to prime it, because it is huge. I can't imagine trying to fill the whole thing with priming button. Priming went smoothly, and it started right up.

I will update this if something changes, but on day 5 I am thrilled.

There are really only 2 extraordinary things about this filter: the low price, and the quietness during operation. Everything else is either mediocre or substandard.

While the added UV sterilizer is interesting, everything I ever learned about those was that flow rate had to be low, in order to increase dwell time, and allow the UV light to kill the baddies. What would a 9 Watt UV sterilizer do at a 370 Gallons per hour flow rate? To be fair, I ran the UV for a day, and it did clear up some stubborn biological cloudiness from the tank maintenance. So the UV does *something* at least.

I needed to replace an aging Eheim on my 90 gallon Cichlid tank. Those fish are beautiful to look at, but they really know how to pig-up an aquarium. I needed good flow rate, and I wanted to eliminate dead spots in the tank, so the plan was to run 2 canisters. This would allow drawing water from both rear corners, and the returns would cross over at the middle. I needed 5/8" tubing in order to run an inline water heater. I also didn't want to spend a fortune. This filter seemed to be "the one", so I bought 2 of them.

Firstly, these filters are not particularly robust in design. The latches, shut-off lever, intakes, spray bars, etc. are all pretty flimsy. Nothing broke out-of-box, but down the road I fully expect for some breakage to occur, after repeated actuations.

Secondly, I was greeted with a very strong chemical smell when I opened each new filter. I opted to be safe, and I rinsed everything off, and ran fresh water through each unit. I then left everything out in the sun (under a skylight) to allow for outgassing of whatever it was that I was smelling.

There were also plastic shavings all over the interior of the filters, and there was excess silicone lubricant all over the top half of each unit. An impeller cover had also worked its way loose in transit, but that was no biggie.

Some of the fittings for the spray bars did not mate together well; I had to break out the teflon tape to add to the O.D. of one of the fittings to allow for proper fitment. If I hadn't it would have leaked all over the place.

The media baskets seemed a bit on the small side for a canister filter of this flow rate, but maybe it's just me. The Aqua Top chemical and biological media is pretty pathetic, in my opinion. There were a lot of ceramic rings stuck together, that I had to separate, and the carbon bags were utterly ridiculous. I've never had to rinse carbon so many times before.

In summary, the filter is inexpensive, it moves water, it's inexpensive, it's quiet, and it's inexpensive. Did I mention that it's inexpensive? But the build quality is nowhere near that of most of the competition. If you're OK with that, and are on a budget, this is probably the filter for you. If you light your cigars with $100 bills, move along, there's nothing here to see.

Hartz Wardley Goldfish Slow Sinking Crumbles, 1-Ounce

Hartz Wardley Goldfish Slow Sinking Crumbles, 1-OunceI have exotic gold fish in my pond and I use this food any time my fish reproduce and I have baby goldfish swimming around. At first, the little fish are afraid to come to the surface in my presence and can't swallow the bigger pellets that I feed the adults even if they did come up, so while the adult fish are eating their pellets, I sprinkle in these granules that slowly sink down. At first the baby fish just eat them off the bottom, but as they get used to the routine they start swimming up to get the granules before they hit bottom. Eventually, they are all swarming at the top together looking for granules and pellets as they are all trained to come at the approach of a person to get their meal now. The only problem is that the adults love this food too so you need to put in enough for both! I continue to use this food inside in the aquarium if the babies are still too small for pellets when I bring them in for the winter.

Exotic Environments Forgotten Ruins Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Forgotten Ruins Aquarium Ornament, 7-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch by 7-InchSince this is a PRODUCT review, I decided to rate it based on the product, itself. It's a very nice item, and would have looked even better in my daughter's little fish tank. I guess the reason I did not give it five stars is because the manufacturer has to take a little blame for a product that breaks so easily during shipment.

The first time I received this item, one of the back corners on the bottom was completely broken off. I decided to do an exchange. When the second one arrived, the OTHER back corner was completely shattered. These failed transactions are a combination of poor packaging (Amazon), careless handling (USPS), and bad construction (manufacturer).

I will not be taking a third chance on this product, and I really regret that my daughter will not get to enjoy it in her fish tank. If you're willing to risk the chance that it might arrive intact, I would probably recommend the product because I think that, compared to pet stores, the price of this item is very good. But if you don't have to patience to deal with products arriving damaged, I recommend going to your local pet shop and spending the extra $5 or $10 for a comparable item.

I hope this helps.

I had no problems with the castle. It was not damaged in any way. I was a little worried that it would be too big for my tank, but it fits wonderfully. The holes aren't big enough for fish that are bigger than bettas, so if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. Overall I think it's a great addition to my tank and the fish seem to like it too.

I had canister of this that has lasted several years. They have since changed the color, it use to be pink and is now white. I recommend adding this to water in a bucket before putting into tank for better control of ph. The jar says to add to aquarium but this stuff is really powerful.

Top of the line product that does exactly what its intended to do without spikes in water quality. Highly recommend.

Fishbowl Filter

Fishbowl FilterWonderful product! I couldn't find another one like it. It's small enough for my one gallon fish bowl. I have a single betta fish in the bowl. 1st it saves me time because now the fish bowl is lower maintence and i don't have to clean it near as often. And 2nd it keeps my fish healthier because it's keeping the water cleaner and constantly cycling it.

I use this for a 1 gallon shrimp tank and a 1.5 gallon fry tank and it seems to do the job. Needs to be replaced every two weeks though, as it gets dirty quick, which maybe me over feeding but overall it aerates and cleans these small tanks. Would have given it a 5-star rating, but the prickly plant won't stay in the base properly so I just jam the plant in a coral instead.

If you are looking for an UGF for a one gallon fish bowl look no further. What can I say plug in your air line and it works great. If you are using a layer of soil for substrait I would refrain however. The filering action will help leach the tannin in to the water giving it the look of tea.

This thing is a joke and a real waste of time. It puts out less air than the little green cheapos from the pet store. I returned it and bought a bubble wand that puts out a hundred times more air for half the price.

KONG Squeezz Ball with Handle for Dogs, Large, Colors Vary

KONG Squeezz Ball with Handle for Dogs, Large, Colors VaryI have three dogs, a husky and two lab mixes, so finding a toy that can last more than a day against their playing is a challenge. This one held up pretty good to the three dogs playing tug against themselves.

This toy was easy for my dog to bite through, but was fun while it lasted. I would recommend if you have a more gentle dog.

My dog destroyed this toy in record time. If your dog is a chewer, this toy is not for them.

I have two boxers, 4.2 yr old female and 7 month old male. This toy was dismantled within two days. That was not the problem -the ball has two smaller inner pieces melded together which make up the 'squeek'. When torn apart these two smaller rubber pieces can be lodged in the dog's throat which is a safety hazard. As soon as I realized my boxers each were chewing on these small rubber pieces, I immediately retrieved and trashed them. It was a surprise to me being a huge fan of KONG toys, still having some intact after four years.

One of my dogs is obsessed with this toy. He wants to tug and play fetch with it 24/7. I got it a week ago, and he hasn't stopped playing with it since. He has tons of toys, and hasn't touched another one since he got this one. My other dog likes the toy decently, but not really more than his other toys. It seems to be good quality. No damage to the toy, yet, and no bite marks in the rubber. I really like all these Kong Squeezz dogs (I also have some animal shaped ones and a stick) and they all are really great toys.

Hydor H2Show Lost Civilization - Calander and Snake Decoration Combo Pack for Aquariums

Hydor H2Show Lost Civilization - Calander and Snake Decoration Combo Pack for AquariumsThe decorations themselves are wonderful. They are very detailed and look amazing in my 55 gal. Goldfish tank. They are the perfect size, and stand out nicely without being too obtrusive. However, the packaging of these decorations is HORRIBLE. They are glued down into their clear plastic and cardboard box with no insulation or barrier of any kind between the two pieces. Only glue on cardboard is holding them in place, so when one of them (most likely the bigger and heavier calendar piece) inevitably comes loose, it goes flying around the flimsy box and crashes into the other piece.

Because of this incident, my dragon decoration was chipped, but luckily it wasn't in too bad of shape and I could see no other damage. After removing the pieces, I then sat there for a good twenty minutes trying to get all of the packaging glue off of the bottom of the decorations before I could place them in my tank.

Beautiful decorative pieces for any aquarium, but incredibly ignorant packaging. Purchase at own risk. If they manage to make it through the shipping process without getting too banged up, there's no doubt that you will like them.

When I opened the box and found that one of the Snake's heads had been broken into pieces. All of the items were detached from their positions and free moving and thus crashing inside the box. The protection of the packaging was poor.
