Coralife 05523 50/50 Straight Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 24-Watt

Coralife 05523 50/50 Straight Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 24-WattProduct was just as advertised and suited my needs perfectly (freshwater aquarium). Seller also let me know before shipping it that the box was not in perfect condition, but the product was fine and gave me the opportunity to cancel. Everything was fine and my guppies and neons are enjoying the light.

I've used Coralife PC bulbs in various applications for many years with no complaints. I use this on for my HOB Fuge where some of its light spills over into the tank. I've found it to be doing what it needs to do, keeping the Chaeto alive & fitting into my CPR AquaFuge Light fixture (13").

Fish Bubbles - Wall Hanging Fish Tank - 3.6L

Fish Bubbles - Wall Hanging Fish Tank - 3.6LWaste off money, i brought 5 of them should have brought one and see how it goes.

But with water fish rocks etc... the hooks thingy were it hangs cracks and you guess it water fish rocks all over the place and crying screaming kids, very upset about there fish..

Thank goodness we were home and was able to save fish.

All 5 tanks cracked the same way.

WASTE OF MONEY!

I love this fishbowl and I get more compliments on it than any other decoration in my house. We've had our Beta fish in for over 6 months now and it seems pretty happy in it's home too. I love decorating it for holidays by putting fancy paper behind it and changing the rock color. I also put a lighted christmas wreath around it during the Chrismas and it was so beautiful! It also nice that young little hands can't reach into it and other pets don't even notice it all. A must have if you like fish!!

I love these bubbles...but not for housing fish. Instead, I purchased a couple of these to hold fruit in my kitchen. I live in a small condo, and live with someone who is an avid juicer and smoothie creator. I mounted these on the wall and they hold a surprising amount of fruit! Way better than cluttering up counter space in a small living space. Love them!

Bought 2 pcs and hung them a feet apart. Guests liked it. Betta fish each tank/bubble but shld also work with other fish. With colored pebbles (maybe < 2 cups each tank), a live aquatic plant, and a bulb of water lily growing it looks nice! I used a hook (e.g Hercules hook ) and had no prob holding it with a water < gallon. I only feed my fish 2-3x/wk with few food flakes so i just change the water every ten days. So don't over feed your fish as this will make the water dirty thus frequent cleaning is required.

The tank itself is small, I just don't think $17 is worth the plastic half bowl you get. I mean the idea is definitely cool, which is probably all that your paying for. The tank itself is cheap.

API Melafix Marine Bottle, 16-Ounce

API Melafix Marine Bottle, 16-OunceOne of my adult male Wild Cross Angel fish was recently injured. He had a serious wound in his left side caused by a breeding pair that were protecting their eggs and territory. I moved him and used the Melafix to heal his wounds. I has worked very well. He is healing nicely and is eating again. He is well on his way to recovery. I highly recommend this product.

API Melafix Marine Bottle, 16-Ounce ~ I am having really great results for fin rot on my betas with this medicine. This is my 7th day and it appears as if the fungus is gone. Thank you Aquarium Pharmaceuticals.

The medicine was not very effective . I used it to treat my powder blue tang and fox face for ick and pop eyes and the blue tangs condition got worst till it died and the fox face still had pop eye after the full. Treatment. I give it 3 stars because unlike most treatment this actually didn't effect the corals or inverts so I was happy about that. But as for the actual treatment part I wouldn't use it again.

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 14 to 16-Inch Meaty Femur Bone Dog Treat

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 14 to 16-Inch Meaty Femur Bone Dog TreatThe dog loves the bone and won't put it down. The only downside is that it smells really bad. I have yet to see the bone splinter and she has been chewing on it for two weeks.

My AmStaff/GSD mix is an active chewer. I'd rather he chew on things like bones and toys and not my things. So I invested in this bone (oh okay I bought it on a whim, let's be honest). IT IS HUGE. I was shocked, my dog seemed shocked, I wasn't sure if he was going to take to it. As I type, I can hear him sawing at the born. Totally a hit. Would recommend to anyone with a little guy (or a big guy!) who love to chew!

Buy Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 14 to 16-Inch Meaty Femur Bone Dog Treat Now

I have a giant-breed dog who likes to chew and I thought, after reading other reviews, that this large chew would last her a good while. She certainly loved it. Even as big as she is, she had a hard time carrying it around, but it lasted no time. Within less than an hour she's disintegrated an entire head off one end of the femur and was sawing down on the rest of the bone.

Which is fine, I guess. Happy as can be.. but I've had much smaller bones last longer. And bought a whole box of hooves and had ONE last well over a week (the smell was even worse than these bones, though).

So, anyway. Yes, it's a hit.. but the duration is obviously going to depend on the size and determination of your dog (mine's a "soft mouth gripper" herding breed, btw.. not some wolf hound that likes to tear things to pieces for kicks and giggles..)

As for basic facts on the product itself (for those not familiar w/ chew bonesI wasn't until recently): They're greasy-feeling to the touch (you always have to wash your hands after touching them/getting them out of the wrapper for the dog); they smell pretty bad (fantastic to the dog, though); they've been smoked or something so there are baked-on flecks that are going to flake off all over your floors like crispy bits.. the dog will eat most of them, but you'll be sweeping/vacuuming behind him/her for quite some time and once the bone is finally broken down to bits, there will be shards (most often) and small round tiny bits that can be stepped on or hazards for small children (just be aware if you have them) and your vacuum that will have to be picked up by hand before vacuuming. Best for an outside treat (unless you have roaming neighborhood dogs that will steal them like I do.. she has to keep them inside and I just have to clean them up.. and a lot of the reasoning behind getting these things is to keep them from chewing inappropriate things IN the house). So they have their pro's (they WORK, they attract the dog's chewing attention very well) and cons (a freaking smelly mess).. I find it worth it but will find a different product (probably go back to hooves).

Eshopps Rectangular Micron Bag

Eshopps Rectangular Micron BagI have one of the seemingly rare "square" sock holders ... rather than changing it up, I found replacements online. These socks clean really good (at least they get dirty in my tank really fast!). I wash them by hand and dry them in the sun ... as good as new.

I've washed mine dozens of times in the last 6 months and they look close to brand new every time. One thing to remember is to let them dry out in the sun when they are fully cleaned and to wash from both the inside and outside of the bag (backwashing) so that all of the pores become unclogged. It captures the smallest particles when fully cleaned so if you maintain them, they'll last a long time.

Deep Blue Betta Tank 2.3 Gal 5 Way

Deep Blue Betta Tank 2.3 Gal 5 WayThis tank has a couple flaws to take into consideration. The first is that the glass dividers do not sit directly against the walls of the tank, and within hours, one of my bettas learned he could stick his face into his neighbor's compartment. My other issue is the lack of space to put a filter. Deep Blue's website recommended their nano power filter, which I purchased, but the glass lid has no plastic cutouts of which to fit a filter into. Other than that, I am very happy with the tank. It is extremely well made, looks wonderful set up on display, and if the bettas don't manage to "meet" one another through the gap, will considering purchasing another tank.

I just put my betta Huxley in his new tank today, and he seems happy with it. I didn't install the two end dividers, so I have two larger compartments separated by a narrow compartment. I placed some greenery in the middle compartment and plan to buy another betta to put on the other side of the tank. The middle compartment and greenery will prevent them from seeing each other, but I'll still get the benefit of having two fish in one tank.

The glass lid can be a bit difficult to lift off because it sits in the inner frame of the top of the tank and doesn't have a handle to lift it off. However, it's not perfectly flat so pressing on one side makes one corner lift up enough to get your fingers underneath.

The tank looks great on my bookshelf with a couple of halogen battery-operated lights (the press on, press off kind) situated behind the tank to light things up.

Exotic Environments Medieval Castle Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Medieval Castle Aquarium Ornament, Tall, 5-Inch by 4-1/2-Inch by 12-InchThis is the big version of the medieval castle ornament by Exotic Environment, which make really good quality aquarium ornaments with beautiful details.

There is a hole at the back that let your shy fishes or eel to swim into the castle to hide and peer its head out at the front gate of the castle.

Good size ornament for 15 gallons fish tank and up.

Unless you want to use this ornament as the centerpiece of your tank in a small aquarium.

It's 8" by 5" footprint will take up a considerable real estate in the small fish tank.

The product was beautiful even more so then depicted in the picture. We have a 55 gallon tank and it was a perfect addition to the tank. I am new at this whole fish tank thing and I foolishly took the ornament out of the box and put it directly into the tank with out washing or rinsing it off. The next day all my fish were floating in one corner barely surviving. I took a sample of the water to the pet store and they gave me products to bring my water back to safe level! Within two days the fish were happy again, I did loose one of my pink kissing fish though. However this is not a complaint against the seller or product, just a hint to anyone else make sure you wash and rinse the product before you put it in the tank!

The description is right on with this decoration. I have a tall fifteen gallon tank from petco and it fits perfect. The only dislike I have is that the right side tower doesn't have an escape so any food can get caught up in there. Other than that it is perfect if you wants something tall especially for the price.

What a fun, functional, good looking castle in our aquarium we love it and it seems to intrigue our fish!

Want Exotic Environments Medieval Castle Aquarium Ornament Discount?

The Blue is very "blue"...It looks proportionaltly decent in a 29 high tank..not many ornaments do.

Only Con to it is that on the top of the "flat part" of the castle..the right hand, outer portion looks cut off.

I turned the castle slightly in a position on the right of the aquarium & unless you are sitting on that side you can't tell.

The fish seem to like it & it suited my asthetic needs. Good Product, shipped fast.

Deco Art Ornament Discosoma

Deco Art Ornament DiscosomaThis item has great color and sits well in the gravel, which is sometimes an issue with aquarium decorations. I have used it for a few months now and it seems to be holding up well and adds an eye-catching touch to my tank.

Do not buy this product!!! Will kill your fish and leave your tank dirty and discolored! I even soaked the plants before putting them in the fish tank and still has problems. I would give negative stars if i could!!! These smell really bad too. Probably all the chemicals that are used to make this product and then they are released into your tank.

Don't let the photo fool you. It doesn't stand upright like this. The fronds flop over when not in the water. However, they sway in the water if there is a current.

Underwater Galleries AUG9447 Tiny Java Man Head Glo Fish Decor

Underwater Galleries AUG9447 Tiny Java Man Head Glo Fish DecorI have a divided aquarium with betta fish on either side, and put this item on one side. Soon afterward, that entire side of the tank was being overrun by brown algae-on the live plants, on the tank's walls, and of course on the Glo Head decor. I looked into the causes of brown algae and reconditioned the water to remove nitrate and other materials diatoms need to thrive from the tank. I cleared the entire tank out, cleaned everything, and cycled the tank. Without thinking about it, I put the Glo Head on the opposite side of the tank from where it previously rested. Soon, more brown algae started enveloping the side of the tank on which the Glo Head was placed. The only conclusion to be drawn is that because this item is made of some kind of stone and is not covered by any protective glaze or coating, it contains the minerals that are needed for brown algae to form and spread. I have removed the Glo Head, and after about two weeks, the brown algae is almost gone.

Even if the Glo Head didn't promote algae growth, I wouldn't buy it again, as it barely glows and that weak glow only emanates from the eyebrow area and a few dots on the face.

Kind of. Just the eyebrows seem to glow. I guess that's less creepy than the whole head but it would have been nice if it just had a little more glow to it.

i have led lighting for my glow fish with a bright setting for day time and a dark setting( blue light) for night time. i was expecting this to glow under the dark setting but it does not. the only time it glows is if all the lights are completely turned off, but then i cant see my fish, so i was a tad bit disappointed, however my fish love to hide and swim through the mouth so its a good decoration

TrueLumen 36-Inch TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, Marine Fusion 12K White/Actinic Blue Combo with Ca

TrueLumen 36-Inch TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, Marine Fusion 12K White/Actinic Blue Combo with Canopy BracketsThe light intensity, color and results with my fish and corals are perfect. Installation and size are also outstanding. Great product and cost.

I have an old SunPac compact flourecent lighting fixture that I used for years on a 46 gallon heavily planted tank. It wasn't until I purchased and setup a new 50 gallon acrylic tank that I was reluctant to lay my 90 watt compact flourecent lighting fixture on top of the acrylic so I looked into the TrueLumen which is also manufactured by SunPac. I have a freshwater partially planted tank and wanted a lighting affect that wasn't just a brighter-then-bright-blinding-white so I chose the combination blue/white strip that was recommended for marine tanks however this exceptional LED fixture is keeping my few real plants thriving! I'm so pleased with the lovely cool color this fixure puts out. I'm also soooo pleased that the LED fixture only consumes 23 watts! These things are also water proof!!! I'm planning on purchasing another one of these LED's soon. I highly recommend this product, you won't be disappointed. Oh the only complaint I have is the power line comes out of the strip in the very back of the strip instead of the side of the strip so if you have a canopy hood with little wiggle room you may need to carve out a little room to accomodate the power line or else it may wear away and expose the wires over time if you find yourself with a really tight fit. Mine has held up just fine so far but I sometimes wonder if it might stop working one day.

Marina LED Connection Box w/cUL Adapterfits well and as expected from item description. Brand new from the box so that's good. The item came on time

These Spotlights Are Somewhat Difficult To Setup At First. Once You Do Get The Hang Of If Your Imagination Can Truly Take Over. Whether You Put A Light Under A Cave To Create An Erie Glow, Or Light Up Bubbles From Behind To Have A One Of A Kind Experience. I Used A Red Light To Shine Down On My Large Lava Rock While I Had A Green Light Behind To Shine On The Bubbles Making Then Look Green.

Overall, The Functions Are Very Easy To Use. If You Keep The Light Above The Water It Will Create ASpotlight Effect. If Its Under Water The Light Light Spreads Out. Still Very Bright.

Cost Is Very Low Compared To Other Products. Colors Are Red Blue Green And White. Leds Last A Very Long Time.

Coralife Lunar Aqualight High Output T5 Quad Lamp Fixture

Coralife 08606 Lunar Aqualight High Output T5 Quad Lamp Fixture, 36-InchI've been using this fixture for about 6 months now and it has worked great, my corals are thriving. My only complaint is that the fan can be a little loud.

I love the directional LEDs they make showing off specific parts of the tank so easy at night. The lights work great. When you first turn the light on the cooling fans sound like booting up a loud computer tower. It takes from a half hour to an hour to quiet down.

I love these lights they are energy efficient and very quiet. Some reviewers said that the fans are loud, I disagree they are whisper quiet. I was also concerned about electric bill but after running for a month, I barely noticed a spike in usual electric usage. I highly recommend these lights. My corals seem very happy and the 3 lighting choices are great for a realistic sun up sun down effect. I do wish that they had a dimmer or would slowly turn on instead of switched on max brightness.
