Como Fish Tank Aquarium Green Plastic Grass Plants Decoration 6.7" High

Como Fish Tank Aquarium Green Plastic Grass Plants Decoration 6.7' HighThis plant is as advertised. Looks just like the picture. Six inches at its tallest spreads out nicely. Has a very realistic natural color, heavy base. Very nice product.

When I first saw this I was really disappointed in the construction and the look. But, the baby guppies need good cover to hide in so I thought I'd just try it before I packed it away for future emergency tank deco. Well, I was really surprised with how great it looks in the tank and it is tightly enough gathered that babies will really have good protection in it. The coloring is a nice blend that fits perfect with the rest of my deco. 4 stars only. Construction is a wonky.

This is a pretty nice decoration. It sinks to the bottom and stays there. I do have a problem with one of them not staying in the base notch.

My only complaint would be the base area is kind of sparse. And since I don't use substrate like sand or pebbles. It looks very artificial. but you should be fine if you do.

I have a turtle tank so I only use large river rocks.

Clear Pond Treats-All Fish Medication, 16-1/2-Ounce

Clear Pond Treats-All Fish Medication, 16-1/2-OunceI love this product. I have been using it for several years. As soon as I see a fish not eating or being sluggish, I add this product to the pond water. The fish almost always recover. It sometimes takes a couple of applications, but it almost always works. I also add it to the pond whenever I add new fish.

Eshopps AEO19250 Magnetic Pet Bowl and Probe Holder

Eshopps AEO19250 Magnetic Pet Bowl and Probe HolderI got it in a timely manner but one of the magnets was broken (the casing) a little upset I decided to just super glue it back together and forget about it. As I was installing it into my Refugium the other magnet broke in the same way as the first, just fell apart. So now I had to stop what I was doing and fish out the plastic piece and glue it back together.

I purchased this probe holder to use with a pH, ORP, and temperature probe and this setup was worked well. Good quality and magnets were strong enough for 1/2" glass. This setup is better than suction cups that eventually fall off and loosen up over time.

I too had the same experience of it breaking while attached on the sump, the line holder side of the magnet just desinigrated and the small metal fragments fell into the sump water. I took pictures to share with MFG but no return calls or emails to show them the problem. You are lucky yours broke and you knew it mine broke and didn't know it until the damage was done to my tank.

Perfecto Recessed Aquarium Hood 24in Oak

Perfecto Recessed Aquarium Hood 24in OakPerfecta light is okay. Not like the way they used to make them 15 years ago. This time around a the light is slightly smaller than before and you may not fit 2 at a time on a 55 gallon tank. It is a cheaper composite of plastic also, because the density isn't there. Otherwise a good standard light. I've always know perfecta lights to be high quality. Today, I realize I may change my opinion.

The perfecto hood works great. I had to replace my old hood because it just was on it's last leg. This one seems to be working just fine.

Hagen Fluval Nano Tank Stand in Natural Oak, 35-Inch

Hagen Fluval Nano Tank Stand in Natural Oak, 35-InchThe seller/shipper was fine, the product arrived promptly. However, the product itself is shoddy and came with considerable damage to the extremely cheap laminate. The color of the laminate was lifeless and ugly. The fish tank looked terrible on it. The whole thing was a complete waste of money. It's just another piece of junk to get rid of. I wish I had not purchased it.

this hagen fluvial nano tank stand in oak is made of particle board. I used carpenters glue to put this aquarium stand together. It is rated for the horizontal and vertical 6.6 gallon tanks only. I originally bought it for their 12 gallon tank. Which I will not buy now. There were 2 missing wooden pegs and 1 missing beige plastic screw cover. I called their help number but she said they don't have missing parts. So I went to a hardware store for them. It does look good though.

Penn-plax Super Battery Vac

Penn-plax Super Battery Vaci had this for about 2 months used it for maybe 4 times. it worked great has really good suction power better than what i have now from Profile. for no reason it stopped working. the drawback is the switch is on the side. it got rusty. its not water resistant at all. i dont think i will buy it again. cheap material plus it lasted me only 2 months.

Not as good as I thought it was gooing to be the sock thing get discusting and you have to wash it everytime you use it very well or its pointless and its fabric so its not easy. all the little particles are still incased in it and becomes slimy if the had a diffrent type of catcher for the yucky stuff it would be great.

Sadly disappointed this lacks suction to clean effectively. Concept is good, I'm sure there is a better option. It's just not this one.

Read Best Reviews of Penn-plax Super Battery Vac Here

This is a good little vacuum for your aquarium. It's battery operated (2 C's) and it's small enough to get between rocks or other objects. We've used this item several times. The little catcher bag will fall off if you don't have it clamped tightly on the vacuum. My husband usually just holds it with his hand, but I think you could just put a rubber band on it and that would be fine. Anyway, this little vacuum does a good job and we've used it quite a bit since we bought it.

Want Penn-plax Super Battery Vac Discount?

I hoped it would work in my small aquariums, but it did not. I guess the water levels weren't high enough? I have no idea why it was not able to vacuum anything out, but it would've really been useful and a convenient tool had it worked since I got it so that I wouldn't have to do a full water change so often or use a siphon on such small tanks. It did work okay in my full size tanks.

All Glass Aquarium AAG29251 Overflow Accessory New Kit

All Glass Aquarium AAG29251 Overflow Accessory New KitI was very worried about buying this product. Everything has to be perfect for this product to work. The Aqueon product line of tanks are well designed. This accessory is worth the money. Do not go out to the hardware store and try to build your own version. I know have a beautiful Marine tank. The price is high, but the product is excellent.

Great product, looks/functions almost as advertised. The connections on the bottom of the tank could be smaller, the ones that come with it are for 1 3/4 inch hose going to the filter (who uses a connection that big?) I had to jerry rig it and ended up just going with the equipment that came with my filter.

Aquarium Led Bubble Wand

Marineland Ml90488 LED Bubble Curtain, Blue, 6 LED, 8-1/2 by 1-1/8-InchThis LED bubble wand is smaller in length than the one that is being replaced. But it looks fantastic, and hasn't been dismantled yet by my turtles who like to ninja everything I put in there. One thing to note for people who aren't aware, you will need your own air jet and hose which is not provided, all it comes with is the wand and AC adapter. Still, great product that really looks good.

i got this wand for my 10g aquarium because one of my fish is a black ghost knife fish, and is nocturnal. the actual description from the original sellers is that the blue was "moonlight blue." sounds perfect for a nocturnal fish. the lights however, ended up being a lil too bright. but he seems okay with it so far. hasn't caused stress to the point of ick yet either. main point is, these lights are pretty bright and shoot light everywhere, not just one direction. so if you're looking for something for a 20g+ tank, this is perfect. bubbles are awesome by the way.

I love these. They are awesome in the tank. My fish love them and so do I. At night time they make my tank look like a beautiful underwater sea of magic. My mom has one now too she loves it.

Read Best Reviews of Aquarium Led Bubble Wand Here

Or rather they fail too. Installation was a breeze and it really makes the tank look great, unfortunately the suckers on the base do not hold for more than a couple days. Even with razor-blading the glass bottom (I have this mounted at the bottom of my tank facing upwards) and cleaning the bottom of the suckers it just doesn't hold.

This is likely due to the added buoyancy from the air in the tubing but I wish they had used larger suckers to ensure the wand stays put over time. I'll likely replace the suckers or rig up some weight on the wand itself to keep it in place.

But for the money it is VERY difficult to beat.

I use this as a lunar light, keeps my tank a little brighter during hours when the main lights aren't on, and overall is pretty cool. I've read some reviews of it not working well as an airstone but my tank has a biowheel on it and I'm not using it for aeration. looks cool for the price. I have it suctioned to the bottom of my glass top pointing down.

Oval Coffee Table Aquarium with filter, pump, light, heater, completely fish ready

Oval Coffee Table Aquarium with filter, pump, light, heater, completely fish readythis coffee table aquarium has the best design you will find on the market. i first ordered a midwest coffee table aquarium from petco. the comparison would be a model t ford to a luxurious mercedes benz. this aquarium has all the wiring hidden in the columns. the wiring for the lights(4 of them)the pumps and the heater. the aquarium holds around 44 gals. (the midwest said it held 28 gals but only held 22. that's a big difference. 6 inches of fish to be exact.) the aquavim table looks like a nice piece of furniture. the table is about 50 inches long and 24 inches wide at the middle. it comes with a beveled glass top that would cost about $300.00 to replace. everything is so thought out. there are 5 toggle switches on the front that control each pump (2) each light (again 2) and 1 for the heater.(which is also included) there's an under gravel filter with a series of pvc piping (with holes) and two pumps at either end hidden in the columns. these pumps circulate 160 gals. of water per hour. they have a venturi to increase or decrease the amount of air flow. two of the columns are water tight and 1 houses the electric wiring and the other could be used for more electrical hook-ups. i had the pleasure of e-mailing and talking on the phone to alex from fishtankwholeseller. he was so nice and helpful answering all my questions and responding promptly to my e-mails. he took time to assist me before i even made a purchase. very nice man. the final thing i had a concern about was the ability to get this aquarium table to my house in one piece. not to worry.it was packed for shipping so well i think it could have shipped around the world with no problem! in closing if you're in the market for an aquarium coffee table you can't go wrong with this one. it's beautiful!!!!

Drinkwell 360 Replacement Filters 3 pack

Drinkwell 360 Replacement Filters 3 packREVIEW ADDED TO DW360 & DW REPLACEMENT FILTERS I'VE MADE: I am careful to replace the DW 360 Filters by (or before) the book, but have to monitor them every 2-3 days, as well as FULLY CLEAN the entire system, to ensure no build up: filter goo ooze in the slats near the handle &/Or film throughout the system. I've had to replace the filters more frequently than the system says I should (under 2 weeks at times).

I have 2 small dogs and keep the system really clean. I was hoping for a less interactive water supply solution, but if it is something the dogs like and encourages more drinking it's really all about what's best and healthiest for them. I do put filtered or purified water into the system and do rinse the new filters per instructions. So far they seem interested in the DW over a traditional water bowl, so I'll continue using it and try to determine what I can do to improve the filter usage, etc.

Order this regularly for the Drinkwell fountain. Better price than in pet stores. Hint: The stainles steal fountain came back and it is the better ne, not the plastic

KONG Cat Cozie Catnip Toy (Assorted)

KONG Cat Cozie Catnip ToyI love the toys from Kong but I only gave this one a 2 star review because the Details listed the item as being 6.8 inches x 1.3 inches x 3.8 inches. BUYER BEWARE, this item was not even close to that size, it was only approximately 2 inches x 3 inches at best. Very disappointed. I specifically chose this because of the size measurements listed in the items details so that my cat could also use his hind legs while playing with it but the actual size is too small for him to do that.

ADA Aquarium Fish Tank Submersible LED Display Digital Thermometer

ADA Aquarium Fish Tank Submersible LED Display Digital ThermometerLEDS on face already burned out. Would not order again. Looks like poor manufacturing. Had high hopes for this new product.

I decided to go with this thermometer because I got tired of the battery operated one. This was a cheap and bright powered option. I took a chance on it since it was not reviewed and was really cheap. It does ship from China, so it takes a while, but for me it was worth the wait and worked perfectly for both of my aquariums. It does only display Celsius, but that is not a big deal to me.

Coralife 05373 Aqualight Mounting Legs, Clear

Coralife 05373 Aqualight Mounting Legs, ClearThese legs fit great on my 24 inch aqualight. Please note they do not fit on my aqualight mini.

I highly recommend these legs for anyone who owns a coralife aqualight other than the mini.

I ordered these after noticing the format of the mounting leg attachment.

I recently purchased online (at a "Bidding" site) a 4-bulb T5 fixure, that had a hinge-type (swing up) mount.

Unfortunately, I was saddened to find I was unable to use that style mount, due to my use of a sliding-glass lid setup.

The supplied hinge/light support required an overlapping of the tank rim, to attach on the inside of the tank.

Upon researching for a hinge solution, I noticed that these mounted in the same style horizontal track, that runs accross the front and back of the light fixture housing.

These legs fit those style fixtures perfectly!

If your fixture has these "dove-tail" slots approx. 1/4" wide.....these are your option!

BOOOM!...end of a issue!

Buy Coralife 05373 Aqualight Mounting Legs, Clear Now

Without reviewing the light system, because that is not what we are talking about here and can all agree that hi-end lighting is the best.

As far as the leg supports: For four pieces of molded plastic, and four metal inserts to hold lighting for some systems that may cost in excess of $300 these are crappola!

We understand that when you clean your tank and remove the lighting system you must be careful however, if you are not being perfectly careful these things will crack. The metal inserts are far from perfect, and the screws that hold the metal in place with the legs are ever so small.

The light system needs to be supported on these units there either has to be a better way to support the unit, or the support system needs to be revamped.

I suggest that if you found a better way to support the unit put it online. We would all appreciate the advice.

Jardin Plastic Aquarium Fish Tank Grass Plants Ornament Décor, 2-Piece, Purple

Jardin Plastic Aquarium Fish Tank Grass Plants Ornament Décor, 2-Piece, PurpleItem as described. Looks great. Does attract algae like most plastic deco. The weights at the base help to keep the plants in place without worrying about filling some kind of plastic base with gravel or sand.

I recently decided to try out the Fluval Fresh Fish Aquariums (which I love), and also bought several plant and other decor to decorate it with.

This one was such a surprise for it was unlike any other plastic plant decor for fish tanks I've seen, felt and realized that fish tank plants vary in quality. It not only has a vivid color that stands out in the tank, but it's leaves/petals had an exquisite feel maleable, soft, pliable...it felt like heaven. If you want quality in your aqauriums, Jardin's products will not disappoint. I have a couple other reviews for plants I got from them, and another manufacturer that is close to Jardin's in quality, so look up any reviews I have posted regarding fish tank plant and misc. decor.

Buy Jardin Plastic Aquarium Fish Tank Grass Plants Ornament Décor, 2-Piece, Purple Now

I purchased these plants to add color to my fresh water aquarium along with a little bit of height. My initial reaction when opening was that the color was great as described by other reviewers. However I was surprised at how flimsy they were I was expecting the stem of the plant to be more taught/stiff to keep the plant standing upright. They were essentially rolled up in a ball in the packaging. While a bit apprehensive I put them into the aquarium and they stood rather straight once in the water. I suppose I would describe it as the plants have some natural looking sway or hang to them. I ordered two packages of two (4 total) and placed them near a rock creating some great cover for my fish. They love to swim through the opening in the rock and hide out in the cave like cover I have created by spacing out the plants and allowing them to hang in toward the center.

I bought some of these and was amazed at how long they are. I had to cut some of it to make it look decent in my turtle tank. The colors are also amazing. It makes my tank look so natural and it adds beauty to it at the same time. What i liked the most was that it did not float everywhere. You just throw it in and it will sink to tje bottom. No rocks or gravel needed. But if you have turtles...you might need some rocks XD MY turtles seem to love this plant. My smallest turtle, Toity, loves to hang on to it and swim around it like every 3 seconds. Really love this product and will be buying more plants in the future :}

Mardel 5-in-1 Test Strips (Freshwater/Saltwater)

Mardel 5-in-1 Test Strips, 25-CountI love keeping fish but I am lazy. The constant test tube tests drive me crazy and my local fish stores say that it is the only way to go. Going against their advice, I've been using these strips exlusively for more than a year and they have been fast, easy and seemingly accurate, since my aquarium has been extremely stable. Initially, I would compare the PH readings with the test tube, and these strips readings were consistent.

I recommend these!

These strips are easy to use, except for the pH test. There isn't much difference between the oranges on the comparison chart for the pH and the pH strip color doesn't match anything on the bottle. I've been using a liquid pH test that seems to be more accurate (or at least easier to read).

Make sure to wait the full minute for the Nitrate test becuase the color takes a while to develop.

Buy Mardel 5-in-1 Test Strips (Freshwater/Saltwater) Now

These strips are easy to use, but I didn't notice that they only have a limited shelf life and the following season they were inaccurate. I checked and they'd expired. The 100 count is probably more than you'll use in one year. But it you're aware of this they do save a lot of time. But the price is high for one season of testing.

Read Best Reviews of Mardel 5-in-1 Test Strips (Freshwater/Saltwater) Here

The strips were a terrible buy. I thought they were working in the beginning, but every time I used a strip it never changed. The alkalinity portion of the strip would change to a color that wasn't listed on the bottle.

These strips scream efficiency, but I would suggest just getting the tube tests.

Want Mardel 5-in-1 Test Strips (Freshwater/Saltwater) Discount?

I have four established fish tanks. I use these strips weekly to make sure my tanks are not having any issues. I've been using these strips for 5 years and work well. Note that they have limited shelf life of about a year. Check the bottom of the container for expiration date. You can tell when they age because the pink test colors are faded. I was surprised to see other reviewers complain that these strips failed to change color. You can test these strips with household products. I also have test tube based kits but these strips have always agreed with the results. I have freshwater tropical fish of the more common variety and they aren't extremely fussy about the pH range or water hardness: cory cats, tetras, loaches, green spotted puffers, guppies, barbs, chocolate gouramis. If you have fish that require very exact water conditions, perhaps strips may not be for you. I find them to be an excellent product and because it's so quick and easy, I actually do test my water weekly.

Como 2 Pcs Fish Tank Air Bubble Airstone Bar 8" Green Blue

Como 2 Pcs Fish Tank Air Bubble Airstone Bar 8' Green BlueThis product is no good. First of all the bubbles all come from a crack at the closer end to the tube. The only time any bubbles at all come out of the actual stones is when you position it just right and even then 95% of the bubbles are still coming out of the crack and not the stone.

Second I went to pet smart, and you can get a similar product that probably works better for the same or less money. And atleast if you're unhappy with it you can take it back there.

I recommend just picking up that not this.

I have a 75 gallon freshwater aquarium, and needed to upgrade from my old, clogged up bubble wands to something that produced more agitation on the surface and provided more cover (privacy) for my fish.

I usually shop for prime eligible items only, and no complaints at all about the packaging or delivery. It arrived on time today.

These seem sturdy enough, but one of them had a corner of the plastic base chipped completely off, nowhere to be found in the packaging. Not a big deal, because I planned to hide them under the gravel anyways, and it doesn't interfere with operation (no air leaks that I can see).

My biggest complaint is that the bubbles only make it out of the first 2-3 inches of the wand, that's why I only gave 4 stars. These don't give my fish the cover they need. I'll update if it improves with longer operation or when I upgrade my air pump.

UPDATE---2/21-After running this product for a few months with one wand on a single pump I can say now that the bubbles do come out of the entire wand. My old air pump was probably the issue.

Buy Como 2 Pcs Fish Tank Air Bubble Airstone Bar 8" Green Blue Now

Not the best Bubble Bar I have ever owned. If you dont know in a larger tank say 29 gallons and above you need a Bubble Bar that has really fine bubbles because that is what Aerates the water and the deeper the tank the more air it needs. These have very large bubbles reducing the Air in the tank...... Now I have a Planted tank on top of of Double Sided Bio Wheel which all assist in the Air in the tank so I am not worried about it. But if you have anything larger than a 29 gallon tank with Artificial Plants I would look at some thing else honestly.
