Silent Air® X Series Aquarium Air Pumps, 2-Outlet, UL Listed
UPDATE 08-11-10
I bought two of these pumps and they have been running non-stop for over 2 years without fail. I would buy more of these in a heartbeat.It works but it isn't silent. The sound it makes is a vibration rumble. It is the quietest air pump I've encountered. If the noise still bothers you run the air hose from a closet. If it still bothers you get some aquarium plants. I've never had a problem with them making too much noise.

I have had this pump running for about a year and find myself quite satisfied. The pump pumps air through an almost 48inch bubble wall hose and the other hook up currently just off gases as we don't need it at this time. Over all the pump is fairly quiet as long as it is balance properly. If the pump becomes unbalanced or leans against something it becomes quite loud as it vibrates quite a bit.Read Best Reviews of Silent Air® X Series Aquarium Air Pumps, 2-Outlet, UL Listed Here
I have had this air pump for 6 months and it has been rock solid.I keep this air pump inside a cabinet, so any noise is minimal. For the price, I found it to be more powerful and quiet than the air pumps I have purchased at my local stores (Tetra Whisper and Rena Air).
Even though it is rated for "aquariums up to 75 gallons," this pump outperformed a Tetra Whisper Air Pump rated for up to 100 gallons (and the Tetra broke after less than a year).
The 6 Watt power supply for this air pump is what you should use to compare it to other brands. The Rena Air 300 only comes with a 4 Watt power supply, even though both it and the Silent-Air® X5 are "rated" for tanks up to 75 gallons. The Tetra Whisper Air Pump for up to 100 gallon tanks only has a 4.8 Watt power supply.

ALTHOUGH I AM JUST A SMIGGIN DISAPPOINTED OVER THE SOUND, OVERALL IT IS A GREAT AIR PUMP. IT STATES IN THE ABOUT SECTION THAT IT IS QUIET, BUT ITS NOT AS QUIET AS IT COULD BE. THE PREVIOUS AIR PUMP I HAD WAS QUIETER. MY TANK IS IN THE FAMILY ROOM WHERE WE HAVE THE TV LOCATED, AND SOMETIMES THE PUMP OVER RUNS THE TV DEPENDING ON VOLUME, BUT OVER ALL IT ISNT SO ANNOYING WHERE I HAVE HAD TO BUY A NEW ONE. I HAVE NOTICED THOUGH THAT THIS PUMP COMPARED TO MY LAST ONE REALLY ADDS MORE AIR VOLUMN INTO THE TANK (MEANING MORE BUBBLES)Monday, June 23, 2014
Aqueon Tropical Flakes
They tend to live a long time, and I've not had a problem with illness or cloudy water for years. I recommend this fish food highly.I have mollies in my tank, they like this Aqueon Tropical flakes. I would recommend this product and will buy again.

Good price. Good food. Happy fish-feeder. Really--14 more words? Okay, no fish died in the writing of this review. Happy?This is one of my mainstays of fish food. In addition to these fish flakes, I also feed my tropical fish dried worms, algae tablets, ants, cucumbers and zucchini. I always feel that fish benefit from a variety of foods so I try my best to give them some variety. This is my mainstay because it's easy to feed and my fish like them a lot. It doesn't cloud the water and some flakes float and some sink. This is great because some fish like to feed the surface and some only feed on sinking flakes. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and so are my fish!I love this for my fishes, but the only problem i have is I wish it were a bigger size.Friday, June 20, 2014

Do not be fooled by the title this is only for a maximum of a 20 gallon fish tank. This is only a half unit not near big enough for even a tiny garden pond.Read Best Reviews of Elite Chemi Pure Pond Clarifier Here
does exactly what it says it would do.....keeps water crystal clear........and parameters where you want them....I have a salt water aquarium without a skimmer and this does wonders... I've used Chemi-pure Elite along with Purigen in my 29gal Biocube. I had switched to another product and quickly had hair algae and cyano. Switched back to Chemi-Pure Elite and Purigen and the cyano is nearly completely gone and the hair algae is receding. You don't get a lot of space in an all-in-one so use it wisely!

This product is exactly as described. It is perfect for my turtle tank. She loves to get on her log and sun with this lamp. I find the color of the tank to be perfect with this lamp as well. Clear, bright and no discernible tint of yellow or blue as is with some of the other lamps. I look forward to it's long life as well.Want Zoo Med UltraSun Daylight Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 10-Watt Discount?
Purchased two and one is dead 39 days later. Of course, this may be a fluke. Your mileage may vary. BTW, a little too dim for a 10-gal for those considering it.Sunday, May 11, 2014

Cat Mate 4 Way Locking Cat Flap with Door Liner Brown
I have never seen a better cat door.
Buy Cat Mate 4 Way Locking Cat Flap with Door Liner Brown Now
Installed in a metal door -not for the faint of heart. A few anxious moments, but eventual success. Final result looks like original equipment.Would have like some screws/bolts that went clear through the door to hold the two pieces together, but I'll worry about that when/if the provided pieces don't hold.
Three cats learned the trick in a day or two. Should have done this years ago!
Read Best Reviews of Cat Mate 4 Way Locking Cat Flap with Door Liner Brown Here
This product is good and well designed. Putting it into a hollow door I do not recommend. I cut the pattern and found that I had no wood to hold the screws. I did purchase 2.5 inch screws with nuts and washers and used them to hold the sides together. Then I cut the excess off of the screws so the animals did not get hurt.The problem here is me, but I think a warning should be in the instructions for hollow doors.

We have an older model of this door that works well, but on this version our cats quickly learned how to bounce the door when set to "in only" and they can then catch the edge and get out. Bad!Sunday, March 16, 2014

Buy SunSun JVP-201 1585 gph Dual Aquarium Circulation Pump Wavemaker Powerhead Now
I will start off by saying that I am not hard to please and never really write a review if a product does half of what they will say it will do.... these pumps are cheap and that's what I expected (cheap pumps).I have a wave controller that turns on pump on while turning the other pump off. These pumps left alone would probably be fine, but they vibrate like crazy when being turned on, I thought I could deal with this until I woke up the next morning and both pumps were shaking so bad it looked like an epileptic seizure. I proceeded to turn the pumps off and give them one more chance (because I loved the price_), but I must say "these pumps are slated for a quick return".

Dont waste you money. Not only is the SUPER LOUD, will drive you crazy but the adapters that go on the end, that allow you to change the direction fall off. No matter how hard you push them on ( of course the simple thing would be to screw on ) they get shot across the tank.You get what you pay for !!!!

Zilla Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb
Buy Zilla Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb Now
Burnt out within a week I do not recommend worst bulb I've tried wont buy this one again I guess that's why it was cheapRead Best Reviews of Zilla Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb Here
This is a truly terrible product. I bought two bulbs, with one as backup for when the first burnt out. The first one burnt out after 2 weeks, which was disappointing. I replaced the bulb with my backup, which proceeded to burn out within 1 day. By contrast, my daytime bulb, which is just a generic incandescent white bulb, is working just fine. Both are housed in the same dual dome housing, so I doubt it's a problem with the housing. I moved the white bulb to the red bulb's socket to make sure, and it worked fine. I don't know exactly what is defective about these bulbs (perhaps an improper vacuum seal), but I would stay away from them.Bought this for my turtle tank. Lasted 2 months before shattering and falling into the tank. I've heard of a light bulb burning out but never cracking. Save your money.Wednesday, February 26, 2014
Resun Automatic Auto Fish Food Feeder Aquarium
you can set how much you want to fall out and set if you want it to go off once or twice a day. how my tank is set up i had to leave the lid open to hook it on (uses a small plastic clamp to hang on, works well) for a normal square tank i would assume it works fine being hooked on to the open back area.
i was very pleased especially with my busy schedule of a toddler, an infant with medical conditions and a full time job. (i know i seem too busy to take care of an animal, but we had the fish before kids and job)This automatic fish-feeder is very simple but it certainly does the job. As a matter of fact, i like that fact that there's not a lot of mechanical parts to malfunction.
It can be set to feed twice a day or once a day. Turn it on or off by inserting or removing the battery.
Dependability is important because little fish lives would depend on this appliance if you were out of town.

I was looking for a cheap fish feeder to feed my fish while I was away for two weeks on vacation. I tested it out ahead of time (didn't want to come back to dead fish) and it worked fine. However, it was impossible to put together. Maybe I'm more challenged in life than I thought I was, but the instructions were difficult to understand, the machine was cheaply built and the whole thing just seems cheap, but then again it is, so I shouldn't be surprised, and it would be unfair to rate it down because of that.It does the job and feeds my fish. However, it makes a weird noise when it deposits food, and it's promises of keeping the food watertight and dry don't appear to be entirely true. All that protects the food from splashing or other elements is a thin strip of plastic that doesn't even appear to close all the way.
If you're looking for a cheap feeder just to keep your fish alive for a bit while on vacation, I'd say buy this one. But if you're looking for a long-term feeder, invest in something a little more pricey.

after playing with it for awhile, i noticed it dispenses almost nothing sometimes, then an overload others. Thats after i smashed up the flakes so it would go through better too. It gets the job done i guess but i don't know if i would trust it if i was going on vacation. Food could get lodged in it and then never come out. The directions are pictures with Chinese writing so i had to figure things out on my own.Want Resun Automatic Auto Fish Food Feeder Aquarium Discount?
The feeder works just fine. It doesn't look too big on the side of my little ten gallon, either. You put in the batteries, press a button and the drum with fish food in it rotates to release the food out of a gap. It will release food again 24 hrs after you pressed the button. You have three adjustments to change portions that are given out each rotation.Saturday, February 15, 2014

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.

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!Read Best Reviews of Health Extension 858755000864 Grain Free Formula, 10-Pound Here
My dog used to suffer from all kinds of itching allergies...we decided that grain was the culprit, and switched from Blue Buffalo to this brand.

Dingo Home for Dwarf Hamsters and Mice
Pros:
LOVE the 2 layers, really gives them that burrowing feeling that is so comforting to them.
Easy access to the lower level.
Pretty solid.
Cons:
Connections are weak and hard to adapt to crittertrail tubes, even thought they are listed as compatable.
You must buy door kits if you plan to add any tubes or other cages, they are somewhat hard to find.
The wheel is COMPLETELY obnoxious although safer than some of the ones I have seen it was removed after 1 day of my dwarf hamsters finding it. I tried to put a Silent Spinner (the most safe and silent and best quality wheel I have ever had the pleasure of owning) but there wasn't enough room, so I put 2 of them elsewhere in my system.
Not much ventalation, although with my setup this isn't as much of a problem because of the other cages connected. This is an issue as small animals can DIE from the ammonia of there own urine if not well ventalated.
The top half of the cage is hard to access.
All in all, if you are adding this to an existing system with good vent. and you don't mind buying door kits, finding specal tubes, and only handleing your pet when they feel like comming out, it's a good cage, but PLEASE at least add a small cage with good vent. and put a silent spinner wheel in! :)I wish I had read the online reviews here before purchasing this at PetSmart.
Our pet mice are now dead, thanks to this gas chamber.
The Down Under Dingo Home should not be sold as a stand-alone cage. Don't buy it unless you are connecting it with open access to another well-ventilated cage.

I completely disagree with other reviewers who though this cage wasn't top quality. I connected this cage with two others and this is by far the favorite for my hamsters. My Campbell's hamsters absolutely love this cage and in fact my girl had babies in there twice in succession because she felt so safe in there. So now I have 6 hamsters (girls because I put the boys in another set of cages) and this is the best cage because it is sooooo easy to clean, you just unsnap one orange hing on either side and lift up the plastic to clean, and my hamsters really love it here and I can just remove the purple lid on the side to have them come out so I can pet them. The wheel is really nice and it's inside the cage so the hamsters don't throw stuff all over my floor and it's true that it gets loud after you have it for a while but if you put a tiny bit of corn oil on the part that connects it to the cage it will stay quiet. My hamsters really like going into the orange "underground" compartment and hang out in this cage the most.Read Best Reviews of Dingo Home for Dwarf Hamsters and Mice Here
This is a great cage for one or two MICE of DWARF hamsters-but not for larger hamsters or garbles! I have had my cage for a few months now and it has been working really well for my single male mouse.Pros: Easy to clean, easy to take apart and put back together, the "underground" area for the mouse to sleep and burrow in is great and he really enjoys it, you can add other cages or accessories to this cage.
Cons: Poop gets stuck between the 2 parts of the wheel and it must be taken completely apart to clean, the water bottle leaks, and unless your pet is people friendly, it can be difficult to get them out of the cage by means of the lid.

I got a Robo Hamster and this cage last Friday.Initially, we were happy about this cage.
But this water bottle didn't work! So, my hamster got dehydrated and died on Monday....
This company specializes hamsters and small animals-they should know better!
I don't know how many hamsters has / will be suffered this kind of cage... but from my experience, use glass aquarium and high quality water bottle! Don't buy this cage! It'll kill your hamster!

JW Pet Company Fusion 4 Power Filter for 15-40 Gallon Aquariums Aquarium Filter
It also has a poly-floss type filter insert that can be rinsed off when dirty & replaced only when absolutely necessary. Also being clear with the bright yellow compartments it's easy to see inside for anything that you need to check on. I just rinse the bio-media & the poly-floss insert about once every 2 weeks & I'm good to go! Just be sure to rinse it in the aquarium water you're changing or in de-chlorinated water, you don't want to kill off the beneficial bacteria.
The compartment that would hold the carbon has a good enough sized area that you could easily put any other kind of media in it that you like. Purigen, zeolite or whatever. Just put it in one of those nylon media bags & you're all set.
All in all I'm very pleased with this filter & would buy one again without hesitation.This product was easy to assemble and seems to work well. It is a little loud, but I got used to the sound.

Hydor MULTI-LIGHT LED for Small Aquariums Green On/Off Switch UL
Pros:
-Flexible & compact
-Has an on & off switch
Cons:
-Plastic type screw attachment to secure to tank edge is cheaply made
-It will not fit most small tank edges for which it is made for (I hung it over a cabinet handle above my tank)
-Only shines 4 small led lights in one area
-Item was not packed in packaging...it was loose in the box (poor shipment)
My suggestion to avid aquarium hobbyists...find a better lighting product for your small or sick tanks! Made in CHINA!

All Glass Aquarium AAG21216 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 16-Inch
not removed when I took the tape off and turned the light around all was ok. Boy do I feal stupid; thank you Ann
for the help.I was looking for a new hood that had an enclosed bulb after reading a horror story of someone finding their betta burned and dried out in the little shield covering the bulb of the hood I currently had and so instantly rushed to the internet to find one like this. It's perfect for what I wanted but the size of it seemed a little off: it's too big to sit on the lip of my tank but too small to just sit on top of it but I can deal with that as long as it doesn't fall into my tank and hurt my little Ignatius. My only complaint is the little plastic backing that just slides on or should slide on and stay slightly on, right? Mine doesn't, it's fallen into my tank 5 times since I got it in yesterday but I fixed that easily by taping it onto the little lip of the hood. Overall, as long as it keeps my little guy in his tank and doesn't fry him I'm all for this hood and recommend it despite the small little flaws since they are easily dealt with. Oh! I also like that the light switch instead of being a push button or a twist knob is flip switch if anyone needed to know that considering that was the kind of switch I was hoping for so maybe someone else is too.
