Perfect-A-Strip Incandescent Light, Black, 12 1/2"
Pros Works as it should
Cons Has an old-style small black turn switch, as opposed to a push button (like the other Perfecto lights), which can be annoying to use at times.
P.S. The description doesn't state, but this is a single bulb fixtureThis tank light fits my 2.5 baby fry tank extremely well! I love it! I use the Aqueon brand "Colormax" color enhancing mini compact florescent (for saving power and better lighting) bulb ( 6"L; 10 watt lamp) and it works beautifully! The colors are extremely vibrant in the tank and I don't mind that it has a turn style black knob on the side. This also comes with a little strip "stand" thing (not sure what to call it" that's a few inches long (it that), to hold the light in place. Make sure you figure out where you want it before gluing it, and I guess I was too impatient for mine to let the adhesive (comes already on the "stand") completly set, so mine ended up sliding, but this won't happen if you let it set like the instructions say. haha! oops? ;)

I been looking for a light source for my 2.5 gallon fish tank... check everywhere..I was going to go for a desktop lamp...which would looks bulky and big behind my rack shelf. Plus it won't even fit...
Did a research online on strip light or hood light.... no hood light but this strip light.
I read the review on it and instantly place an order.
It arrive well package.
Put in one of the CFL light bulb from walmart fish department and the whole tank light up very nice. Gives my tank a very nice and natural look...mine is on a timer.
It comes with a sticky pad to place ontop of your glass lid so the hood stay in place....awsome!!

Prevue Hendryx-Barn Style Bird Cage
It came quickly and so easily to assemble.
Very happy.What happened? I ordered this bird cage because I thought it was a good deal. Then I opened the box! The item was listed as new but the large plastic bottom of the cage, which was supposed to be PURPLE by the way, was very scratched up and the sticker on the front was even torn! Not to mention that the color is in no way any shade of purple. It is a very DRAB BLUE! [[ASIN:B006M9FN3W Prevue Pet Products Barn Style Bird Cage, Purple and White])
I have a quality cage from the same company that is actually purple and very nice. The cage bars were all bent and don't fit together well. I have asked for a replacement. I hope this was a fluke and the NEXT one will be better. If not, I will again return and go with another brand. I am a long time Prime member and this is my first disappointment!

The controller was easy to install and setup. It has been keeping track of my Reef tank temp without a problem. The only negative I can think of is that it does not display tenths of degrees. If it did that I would give it five stars.Read Best Reviews of Finnex Max-300 Digital Aquarium Heater Controller Here
I am using this with a hydor 300 inline heater on a planted 75 gal tank and its working great. about 2 months now.Want Finnex Max-300 Digital Aquarium Heater Controller Discount?
I have 7 2.5 gallon tanks on a 45" piece of 11" flexwatt heat tape. This heater controller has kept every single tank at a perfect 80F with a variance of only 1 degree.I can't say anything about its longevity, but within 5 mins of me setting it up, I bought a second. This was extremely easy to set up, and the fish love it!

Buy TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6 Now
Bigger than it seems in the picture and its great for baby to young turtles, but would not be recommended for a full grown turtle. Shipping was super fast and it came out great.Read Best Reviews of TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6 Here
This is not a suitable turtle habitat. Popular pet turtles, like Red Eared Sliders, require basking docks and light and a UVB bulb, not to mention 10 gallons per inch and powerful filtration. This would only work with modification and frequent water changes. Do not subject a living creature to this environment.Want TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6 Discount?
This was exactly what my turtle needed.....plenty of space to swim and explore. The built in holder for the filter is great..Between running the filter at night( turtle should not be in it at time), and scooping water out and replacing it daily, the water stays clean and odor free....considering I have a musk turtle..that is saying something. Would recommend this to any one with a small turtle who needs room to grow. Vendor sent item quickly and it arrived in fine shape.

Thanks NLS!

i feed my fish two types of food so that the shy fish get some food too and this works great for this because it sinks to the bottomRead Best Reviews of New Life Spectrum Cichlid Formula - 600g Here
It is really hard to judge the quality of fish food. I have been using this food now for about 6 weeks for my Lake Malawi Cichlids. I bought this on the recommendations of several in the cichlid forums and elsewhere.The food seems good to me. My fish seem to really like it and are much more aggressive to get it than they were for the cichlid pellets that I used previously. The ingredients seem better to me and are probably healthier for my fish than what I was feeding. My previous food would cause some of my fish to sort of look like they had bloated bellies, and that has gone away with this food while still keeping the fish looking healthy. This product can be fed to large and small cichlids as they break up easily.
The price here on Amazon was really reasonable and it was a nice sized container (600g). It should last me a while and I have about 30 fish.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was expecting (based upon comments from others) that the color of my fish would "pop" more with this food and that has not been the case. I would say that it did not make much difference at all in terms of the coloration of my fish. If there really was a change, I would say the coloration reduced, but I really do not see much difference if at all. My colorful males are still colorful. I hesitate even to say this because it is so hard to know what causes conditions in an aquarium. Overall I am happy with the purchase and will continue to use this product.
Just for reference, I have kept multiple aquariums for many years, but stopped for a few years as my kids were young and my time was limited. I am getting back into it recently, and getting sucked into the hobby again. It is fun. I will update if anything changes as I get more experience with this food.This is the brand that my Local Fish Store feed their cichlids. The fish love this stuff, and its keeping them healthy and vibrant. This is a great steady diet for them.

Hydor MINI HEATER Aquarium Heater 7.5 Watts for Tanks 2-5 gal
But be aware that these heaters don't have temperature controls, so the water temperature will change when the room temperature changes. My tank temperature ranged from 92F to 70F with the heater plugged in from May to December. I had to unplug the heaters on very hot days. It seems that these heater will raise the water temperature in a 2.5gallon thank by 8 to10F over the room temperature.
Finally, all 6 mini heaters that I own have been reliable for 8 months now, and all are consistent in how much they heat the same volume of water.I purchased this heater for our beta who lives in a 1 gallon jar; note the heater is spec'd for 2 to 5 gallon containers. During the winter we keep our house at 60 degrees and this heater keeps the jar at a consistent 72.

This heater works well, not bad for small tanks (5 gallons or less). I purchased this for my 1 gallon tank, and it heated the water up to the low 80s. The heater works submerged or placed under the tank. I keep my apartment on the cool side, so this heater did the trick. A word of warning, though--if you have a 1-gallon tank, make sure you have a thermometer in it, because if you keep your home temperature in the high 60s and into the 70s, chances are the heater will then heat the water too warmly, into the mid to upper 80s, at which point you'll have to unplug the heater and monitor the temp as needed. Still, not bad for the price.Read Best Reviews of Hydor MINI HEATER Aquarium Heater 7.5 Watts for Tanks 2-5 gal Here
My betta fish's water was mostly in the 60-degree range, below a betta's ideal temperature (70-80F). As a result, the betta was very inactive. I bought this heater for a one-gallon bowl, and it increased the water temperature about 10 degrees. Now the betta is very active.Even though the specs say it's designed for a 2-5 gallon tank, I'd still recommend it for a 1-gallon bowl. Just keep an eye on the ambient temperature because this heater does not have an automatic shutoff.
Want Hydor MINI HEATER Aquarium Heater 7.5 Watts for Tanks 2-5 gal Discount?
I purchased the Hydor Mini 7.5W Heater for my .9 gallon tank with my betta. Note that the heater is spec'd for a 2-5 gallon tank. Before he had to deal with 70 degree temperatures, which is not ideal and borderline too cold. Since putting the heater under the gravel in the tank, the tank is now constantly between 75-80 degrees, which is the normal temperature for a betta. I highly recommend this product to keep your betta longer and keep him more comfortably.Tuesday, February 25, 2014

Buy Coralife Pure Flo Filter Pad, 100 Micron Now
Waste of money. My tank water was not too bad to begin with, but I thought I would try this with some carbon for the extra polish, instead of buying more Seachem Purigen 250ml (which makes water crystal clear). What a waste of money! From day one this has done nothing to clear my water, in fact it made it worse. It makes my AquaClear power filter stink after a few days (it was not clogged), and after 3 weeks of no results I threw out the filter pad and am not looking back. I have way too much of this stuff left, sitting in the cabinet under my tank, collecting dust. If you can't afford or don't like Purigen, polyester pillow stuffing (a.k.a. "filter floss") works better than this. Would not recommend.Read Best Reviews of Coralife Pure Flo Filter Pad, 100 Micron Here
I used this for a DYI polishing pad for my Emperor 280. Cut it to size, and a few rubber bands later it was in the second slot and I was in business. It catches a ton of dirt that the primary pad misses and it really does the trickWant Coralife Pure Flo Filter Pad, 100 Micron Discount?
These pads work great in the aquarium and cutting to fit your tank filter is a better price.Make a great gift that is always used.

Buy Exotic Environments Red Sea Hide-Away Aquarium Ornament Now
There's nothing wrong with the manufacturing or quality the item seems well made and its structure is basically the same as shown in the picture. But the colors are nothing like what is shown. In reality, it is much darker, less kid-like. The "red" coral on the right is really a deep purple; the "yellow" smokestack looking things are really green; the "light blue" flower like things on the left are really a dark copper/burnt orange; the small "purple" flowers are blue and yellow; the "light purple" brain-like looking things at the bottom are blue and a little purple, but much darker than in the picture; the little "yellow" flowers are red. The remaining parts are a couple shades of deep, deep forest green.It was for a 7 year old, so I am very disappointed.

I have a beautiful Moon-fin Betta in one of those Tetra Water Wonders 1.5 gallon tank kits. I had some small Greek ruins in there for a while but I wanted to give him a cave to hide in and feel safe. I looked everywhere for something that would look cool and fit in this small plastic tank. This is it!!! It looks so awesome! These complaints about the colors are rubbish. Yeah the colors are different than the photo but it's certainly not muted. Unless some people just received a bad batch of them, this coral cave ornament brightly glows with vibrant colors. Now my Betta swims right in and parks himself with his cute little head poking out like a moray eel! Highly recomended for small tanks and Bettas!!!Want Exotic Environments Red Sea Hide-Away Aquarium Ornament Discount?
The color was a little bit more dull than in the pictures. Disapointing but I decided I would still keep it.Bad idea. Should have returned it. As soon as I started to rinse it before putting in the tank a horrible rank resin smell took over the whole kitchen! It was so bad there was no way I was going to put it in my tank with my fish. I had to put it out on the porch it was so bad! No way would I buy anther one. Horrible waste of money.

Cat Mate Lockable Cat Flap with Door Liner White
we have a 2 inch foam cored door, install required mitre saw, drill, bits, hammer,and handyman, we did take door off, we put cat door where girl cat had been scratching at door to get in for ten years,( down in corner).Cat door fit perfectly, handyman said very easy to install,and excellant choice. Handyman and I looked at doors at stores, did not see any thing this well made for two inch doors, lock is the best,price was great and free shipping, amazon comes through again.
six months later No peeing in house!! cats go out to use litter boxes, has been a great sucess.
Buy Cat Mate Lockable Cat Flap with Door Liner White Now
I bought this at a friend's recommendation and it's been great. Used a sawzall to cut the hole and did a kind of a sloppy job, but the outer rim is wide enough to cover minor cutting errors.One note is the door has a sliding lock mechanism. Fine if you have the door leading outside your home and want to control when the cat can leave. If you install it inside only, as I did, I suggest popping the lock off as the lock can engage and trap the cat if the step directly on it before pushing the flap.

After looking at many models and reviews I decided to pull the trigger on this one.Pros:
The installation was fairly simple. As with most doors, its recommended you removed the door and you'll have to measure and balance so the cat door isn't crooked. The provided cutout was very helpful for tracing where to jigsaw (a decent jigsaw is essential). The door itself seems to be of good quality, especially considering the price. I like how snuggly it closes and how little air can come through. It took our cat several weeks to get use to the idea of using the door but with practice, patience, and persistence he learned to use it. The door also has one of the best visual designs I've seen (of course my door in question is white).
Cons:
The lock button/mechanism is OK but not great. It feels a little cheap and awkward at times but it still functions appropriately. Unfortunately, this model can only be locked or unlocked. Many doors have 4-way locking that allows the cat in but not out. Was this as big as deal as I thought? Not really. When I want the cat to go down he follows or I put him inside. When I want to get him out I unlock the door. The only other thing I would change is I would flip the design or be able to lock from either side. The side that is more flush with the door (the better looking side) doesn't have access to the lock. Being a visually picky person I put the door on 'backwards' and it works fine.
Overall:
Would I pick this door again? Yes, so far so good.
Want Cat Mate Lockable Cat Flap with Door Liner White Discount?
It works all right, but the magnet makes the door a bit stiff if cats are a little nervous they will not use.The locking mechanism is oddly placed in the cats path making accidental locking possible.
