TrueLumen 48-Inch TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, 12, 000K Diamond White with Canopy BracketsChristmas gift for my son. He said it is awesome!!

Shipped right away in time for Christmas.

Great price

Pros

Great Brightness, pure white, better than my double fourescent bulb interms of the quality of the light.

Size. It doesnt look like much but is the perfect size. Just laid it on the top of my tank cover and it looks awesome

Cons

I bought a marineland LED light and I lost the box it came in so I can't return it. Not nearly as bright, bulky, but I can still use the blue lighting for night time effect.

If you are looking for a bright daytime light this is the one for you.

Hagen Laguna Barley Straw Pellets, 2-1/2-Pound with Mesh Bag

Hagen Laguna Barley Straw Pellets, 2-1/2-Pound with Mesh BagI've used the Laguna Barley pellets in the past with much success in my 300 gallon pond, keeps the water free of algae all summer! Highly recommended!

If you're wanting clear water for your pond, this product does as described. I added this to my pond and was pleased with the results. It wasn't overnight, but after a week I noticed results and my ponds water was more clear and algae diminished. Laguna products are highly recommended. I use their filters, pumps, and now their water clarity products.

We have a small pond and because we have fish and plants we decided to go chemical free. We used the pellets and the straw at the same time all through spring and summer with no effect.

I noticed a little change but not the change I wanted. Perhapes it has something to do with the hjigh temps we are experiencing. I have two bags left and will add them in the next week or so. Hopefully I will get better esults.

These pellets had no impact. In fact, the algae got worse. We bought a UV light and it cleared up our 110 gallon pond beautifully within 1 day.

Perfecto Manufacturing APF67243 Majesty Stand for Aquarium, 24 by 12-Inch, Black

Perfecto Manufacturing APF67243 Majesty Stand for Aquarium, 24 by 12-Inch, BlackI was so disappointed to receive a plain, flat wood style of the Black Pine Majesty Stand. I expected to receive the raised board design as pictured. I agree with Hardy85 whose review stated the same complaint and figured it to be a more recent version. I suggest you contact the seller before you make your purchase and ask about the product. The stand was packed well, however, the door hinges were loose and the floor base is uneven which causes it to wobble. Overall structure is workable (I can fix the problems), but the bottom line is always BUYER BEWARE.

The only reason I gave this product a 4 out of 5 and not a 5 is because the product looks different then the picture which isn't a big deal but it was different. The product I received must have been a new version. But anyways the product looks great and no problems whatsoever. Quick on shipping as well. Thanks!!!

Panacea Products APN70002 100 Count Pan Marbles for Aquarium, Blue

Panacea Products APN70002 100 Count Pan Marbles for Aquarium, BlueThere were 101 marbles in the package. All were fine & as expected. Need 7 more words, five four three two one zero. Bye.

I ordered these for my daughter's 100th school day project. She wanted to bring a jar of 100 marbles to school to celebrate the 100th day. After reading one of the reviews mentioning how the person wasn't sure if there were actually 100 marbles in the bag, I thought about ordering two bags just in case but in the end I just stuck with one bag. And I'm glad I did! When the marbles arrived, the bag definitely was small. I highly doubted there were actually 100 marbles in the bag. But my daughter and I counted the marbles five times and there were 102 marbles in the bag! I was very pleased and my daughter was, too!

Lee's The Ultimate Extension 25-Foot Hose

Lee's The Ultimate Extension 25-Foot HoseI am so tired of carrying buckets. I had the 25 foot gravel vac and it wasn't quite long enough to reach from my 150 gallon aquarium to my utility sink in the basement. I purchased this and can't express enough how grateful I am to not have to deal with buckets anymore for water changes. Get it and you will love it!

I now have three red-eared sliders and have to go across 2 rooms to drain and fill water in the tank. Could not have done i without this. Easy to store. Easy to 'establish'

Eshopps PF Nano Overflow Box - Up to 50 gal.

Eshopps PF Nano Overflow Box - Up to 50 gal.Don't forget to rinse everything before use

Product has conflicting information. Amazon product description says flow rate is 200 gph. The enclosed instruction and Eshopps web site say 100 gph. My pump is 150gph and it seems okay.

Product is made from sturdy Plexiglas. The U-tube has little scratch on the inside surface. It doesn't seem to affect the performance.

The bulkhead size is 1.25 in. I connect a corrugated washing machine hose ($9) from Home Depot to the bulkhead secured with a cramp.

Instructions do not have any diagram. You figure it yourself (come on Eshopps. Can't you hire an illustrator or graphic designer?)

No need to siphon! Simply connect the box with the U-tube and submerge the entire thing in the water. Ensure no air is inside the U-tube and the box. Raise is up slowly while keeping the water in the box. Hang it on the tank. Done!

In case of power goes off, the U-tube will self-start. I tested this. I just need to connect my pump with a swing valve so the water does not flow back to the sump.

Overflow box does not produce any noise.

Nice little owerflow but the "U" hose who goes over from the tank and in to the outside box was overbendt from the producer and broke when trying to fit it. I would prefer to have the adjusting screw at the bottom outside to be a bit longer or the "bridge" who lies over the glass to be a bit shorter, very few have 3 cm wide glass in a nanotank. Due to this I have to find someting extra to put between the glass and the adjusting screw to eliminate movement and fish gettin stuck behind the internal box.

PondCare 180B Spring and Autumn Pond Fish Food Premium Pellet, 39-Ounce

PondCare 180B Spring and Autumn Pond Fish Food Premium Pellet, 39-OunceI always use seasonal fish food. My pond fish are healthy and regularly reproduce. I think the size of the food is easier for them to consume than the sticks, especially for the little ones.

This product is excellent to fed your pond friends, when their water temperatures are in the 50's and lower 60's. ('Spring and Autumn' food has a lower amount of protein, which is ideal for your fish when your weather starts to get cooler) You can switch to their "regular warm weather food" when the water temperature's reach about 70 degree's. As many people may know, pond fishes digestion is not operating at 100% when their water is too cool. In fact you shouldn't feed your fish at all, when the water temperature falls in the low 40's. They go into a hibernation-like state and will not want to eat. Their bodies are designed to handle no food during cold weather and they survive well using their built up body fat reserves.

The 'Spring and Autumn' food has just the right amount of protein, vitamins and minerals, when the water temperatures are low. It keeps my fish healthy and happy, when they start to go into the cooler weather. If your pond is heated, check the water temperature to see if it is warm enough to give your fish any food. Do not feed your fish at all if the water temperature is below 49 degrees.

I have found PondCare products to exceed my expectations, when the product instructions are followed carefully.

This is one of the healthiest compositions of fish food available, with more actual vegetable and protein nutrients than grain filler. Not only do my pond fish LOVE it, all my ducks go wild over it as a treat. I use it all year-round, including it as a portion of the summer diet as well as being the cold-weather staple for pond-fish. It's always gone in a few minutes.

Coralife 05150 Power Center Day Night Timer Strip

Coralife 05150 Power Center Day Night Timer StripThe power center wDay-Night Timer works just as detailed in the product description. It is easy to set-up. Since I got I don't need to worry about turning on and off my fish tank's pump, filter, thermostat and lighting. Actually I have programmed it to turn on and off the light and under gravel filter power head at intervals during the day and night (helping me to interrupt unwanted algae growth, giving some direct "light rest" to those species that like dim conditions and providing mild current to species that like it as well). I have plugged in the thermostat and my Whisper power filter in the constant power outlets so they work independently all day. My community fish tank inhabitants are happy and thriving. The only thing to care about is in case of electrical break downs, the clock has to be readjusted, which is very easy to do. I will definitely get another power center for our office fish tank. Good luck!

For a product whose sole purpose is to automatically time aquarium electronics, this item fails miserably. It lasted about 2 weeks before I noticed it losing time, between 5-10 minutes a day which got progressively worse. Finally it would randomly get stuck and not trip at the designated time period. Weak

I used for day/night cycle on a 55 gal freshwater tank. The power strip was mounted underneath the cabinet, completely unexposed to anything that might cause it to malfunction. It looks as clean as the day i bought it. I even tried adjusting the trip tabs to no avail, just in case one of them was causing the problem. Nope.

I had initially disregarded the negative reviews on this one, chalking it up to a bad batch, but maybe there's a bigger defect going on here. I'm just lucky that I didn't use it for anything vital. If you give a crap about your tank critters, for the love of god, pass on this one.

The timer never goes off on the time I set it, its always like half an hour later or so. Whats even far more annoying is the fact that as time goes by, the lights go on later and later and later until finally I have to re-do the settings. I have no idea what causes this but it is damn annoying. Another really annoying thing is how hard to it is to set the timer tabs. Some of them are so stiff that I had to use tools to push them up or down in fear of my nail breaking off. Dont waste ur time with this product. Biggest piece of junk timer there is on the market.

I have used this product for three months. Every once in a while, the analog timer gets stuck and throws the timing schedule off. Since I use this on a saltwater tank, a little salt/dust got into the dial mechanism and now it sticks on certain hours. Mt recommendation is to get the digital version or keep the power strip clean.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Mag - Drive 18 Water Pump (1800Gph)

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Mag - Drive 18 Water PumpI got this pump for my 144g 1/2 round reef tank. It can really move the water. I liked it so much that I also got another to use with my water changes too! It is great for mixing salt water as well as pumping from my mixing barrel into my rolling barrels that I use to transport the water to my tank. Then I just pump the water up to my tank. Too easy! It runs quiet and I love the fact that it can be used either submerged our out of water.

I ordered this pump and received a black supreme mag pump instead of the one on the picture. Other than that the pump has been working great so far.

Aquatic Creations Micro Ludwigia Aquarium Plant, Green/Red

Aquatic Creations Micro Ludwigia Aquarium Plant, 15-Inch, Green/RedThe autumn colors caught my eye and it does not disappoint. The leaves are more of a small spikey so a nice contrast to the more flowing plants. Great base. Great price. Love it!

This plastic plant is exactly as advertised. Very colorful, solid and has a very heavy rock like base. Would not have to bury it in the substrate if for some reason you did not want to. Takes a little while to get it, because the seller orders directly from Hong Kong. Very nice product. I have a 36 gallon tank. Fits nicely.

Cat Dancer 803 Whisker Chasers Interactive Cat Toy, 2-Pack

Cat Dancer 803 Whisker Chasers Interactive Cat Toy, 2-PackGeorge is finicky. I bout the cat dancer toy with the wire and ended up adding it to the cat house he plays with that all the time. Then I bought these two "replacements" for the cat dancer and ended up attaching one to the cat house with stretchy cord and he loves loves loves it and the other one I added to the end of the cat dancer want toy with the long bit of multi colored material. It went from being an "ok" toy to one he will chase non stop. I just cut a small slit in the felt material and threaded the cord/material through it. He tries to pull the toy off the house and off the end of wand toy and thus far, it hasn't torn the material at all. I haven't had any problems with them hitting him in the eyes or hurting him.

I got these toys as a fun treat for my 7 month old cats. The "legs" on them are so stiff and the felt is cheaply attached the kittens can easily tear them apart if allowed to. We used these on a piece of soft leather cord and hung them from off the back on our kitchen chairs. The loved them till it flung around and caught my girl cat in the eye. I'm glad it was not attached to the cat dancer wire like it's supposed to be or my cat may have gone blind.. This is not something I would ever buy again and they ended up in the trash.

Ferrera Farms Bully Stick Tips, 1-Pound Bag

Ferrera Farms Bully Stick Tips, 1-Pound BagI have gotten Ferrera Farms bully sticks in the past (6 inch size) and was very pleased with the quality, as was my dog. However, these tips are very expensive. I've since realized that Best Bully sticks are only $8.24 a lb, vs. $19+ and are a much higher quality. This bag was full of shriveled, dark tips (a few 4" skinny sticks) with dust and tiny pieces that my dog is turning her nose up at. I won't purchase them again.

These bully sticks are expensive enough without the manufacturer cheating on the weight of the bag. These sticks cost more per ounce than what we think we're paying....not to mention the pieces are very tiny and thin!!!!!

My dog loves bully sticks, and these "tips" really hit the spot for a quick bully treat. Lasts much longer than the typical one-crunch-swallow treats, so they occupy her time a little longer (if we want a distraction.)

I'd say they're the cutoffs from regular bully stick production, some big, some small but same great flavor, judging by her enthusiasm for 'em. Thumbs Up!
