TrueLumen 48-Inch TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, 12, 000K Diamond White with Canopy Brackets

Christmas 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.

Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs.

Maybe got an inch out of it on top of my dirt and flourite but i cant complain cuz thats all that i really wanted. dirt your tanks, get some real plants and watch the magic happen. kgladie on youtube to see the results.

After having this in my aquarium for about 3 months, the paint is coming off a lot of the gravel, and I see white spots all around my tank. I also noticed that the top of my tank appeared to have what I thought was black mold, but turned out to be paint from the rocks. I rinsed and turned each bag's contents repeatedly for 15 minutes before putting them into the aquarium which should have been sufficient.

Buy Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs. Now

The only reason I'd give this gravel 1 star is because of it's size and the attempted color. It's larger and uneven, which I was wanting. Otherwise, I am very disappointed. The base stone is white so it shows through the pretty frosted black coating, a lot. There are so many broken stones and partially coated that I am not achieving the look I want. Also, you have to rinse and rinse then rinse some more. Tons of tiny particals will float to the top and the first rinse or two, the water is yellow tinged.

All and all, for the money I wish I had paid a few dollars more and got my gravel elsewhere. I recommend you do.

Read Best Reviews of Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs. Here

I have a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium and this bag of gravel fits perfectly. It's more gray than blackwhich is good. The bottom seems shadowey but not too dark. My fish seem more comfortable near the bottom of the tank. I think maybe the dark colors give them a sense of protection.

This bag is VERY big. It's probably one of the biggest you could purchase at a pet store. So it's perfect for larger aquariums. They reccommend two pounds for every one gallon in an aquarium. So this bag could easily work for 2 five gallon aquariums or 1 ten gallon aquarium.

The color is classy and very pretty. It's very fish-safe. Since adding it to my tank my fish don't seem to have changed in health at all. If anything they seem calmer. Altogether it's made my aquarium look very classy. I highly reccommend this bag of gravel for anyone looking for affordable rocks for their freshwater aquarium.

BiOrb 15L Flow Aquarium, White

This aquarium is easy to set up and use. Two drawbacks are that the water speed is a bit higher than Betta fish prefer and that you have to cut a slot in the lid to use a proper heater.

Microbe Lift 16-Ounce Pond Concentrated Extract Barley Straw MLCBSE500

Having an organically-maintained/designed yard, no chemicals are used anywhere in our property. Our pond is 4 years old, around 10,000 gallons in size, 4 feet at the deepest point. Barley extract is the sole add-on for maintaining this pond, outside of:

A. periodic cleanups (minimal work: emptying skimmer baskets depending on the wind/weather, rinsing filters, adding extra water due to evaporation);

B. a major cleanup (since it takes half a day or so) in spring after all the ice thaws out; and

C. unscheduled cleanups immediately after storms pass by when a lot of leaves come flying out of the woods (our property is surrounded by trees and conservation forest).

All fish (1 dozen gold fish/koi and 1 dozen other small types caught from the wild) stay in the pond over the winter. We do not feed these fish, they get enough nutrition from the natural plants growing or creatures living in or visiting the pond. We initially started with 7 gold fish/kois and added the others over time. I remove some of them when they get too large, or when they make babies.

We see most of the fish (specially the bright orange ones) clearly even from our second floor window (the pond is ~50 feet away from the house). The pond looks natural and clean, however, we do not expect this pond to look like sparkling clean drinking water!

A lot of people may not understand that organically maintained and balanced pond does not equate to sterile, artificially sparkling clean pool water! I think that is a major issue when people complain about their ponds.

Our pond can get out of shape when I do not do regular cleanups. But we try to monitor and correct problems before they get out of control. For example, if the waterfalls are not pushing the right amount of water, we check things out in the filters -one time there was a poor dead frog in the pump's filter! If we've waited too long to remove the leaves, or forgot to add the barley extract for several weeks, and there is an algae bloom, we scrub the rocks all around and drain at least 25% of water then add fresh water (we've only done that once so far). When everything looks good, we resume adding barley extract again as scheduled.

So, my point here is that Barley Straw Extract really works if applied correctly, but how well it works depends on one's realistic expectation... it definitely does not work like a harsh swimming pool chemical, and it really works well for organically-maintained pond. (If any pond water ever gets too awful looking, I'd recommend scrubbing algae all over and pumping out most of the water and start with 90% clean water to make the barley straw's job more effective).

I have tried several brands of Barley Straw Extract and they all pretty much perform the same way. The only failure is usually on my part, when I forget to add as scheduled!

I usually compare the volume of water that can be treated by a specific amount of the extract, by brand, and I've found that:

1. The most expensive ones are usually those of big name brands.

2. Pricewise, it is best to buy the extract by the gallon.

I've used this product several times. I highly recommend it. My stepdad has a huge Koi and he uses the product also. We both love it.

Buy Microbe Lift 16-Ounce Pond Concentrated Extract Barley Straw MLCBSE500 Now

We have a small pond (approx 300 gals) with several small goldfish, and were looking for something besides algaecides that would help clear up the water a little more so we could see the fish better. There's also some cold-hardy water lilies in the pond and 2 Pondmaster pump/filters.

I tried barley bales with no luck and thought maybe the liquid would work better, but we didn't have any luck with this product either. I followed the instructions and used the whole bottle over a period of several months, but couldn't notice any difference in the water clarity at all. Usually, the water clears up some during the winter as the algae seems to die off from the coldness of the water, but besides that there wasn't any difference in clarity once the water warmed up in the spring/summer.

I'm not saying that the product isn't effective, I'm just saying that it didn't work for us which is why I gave it 2 stars. I'm hesitant to use an algaecide because of the water plants and the depletion of oxygen that results and was truly hoping this would be a viable alternative.

Laguna Aeration Kit for Ponds

This product works extraordinarily well!! Like one of the other reviewers, I typically kept a $250 pump going throughout the winter to keep my 4000 gallon pond from freezing over. Because I didn't filter the water during the winter, I had to continually clear out deris from the pump (a really, really big pain). I tried using the Laguana aeration kit this past winter. I thought I had nothing to loose for about $30.00. Wow!! What a pleasant surprise!! Not only did the aeration kit keep the pond surface from freezing (and the temperatures fell below freezing and dropped near zero on several occasions last winter in my neck of the woods--zone 6)but the algae that typically overwintered and thrived in my pond during the winter months DID NOT DO SO!! Algae was virtually non-existant the entire winter season!

I normally have to use TWO UV lights in my pond to control algae but this season I'm using only one. My trusty aeration kit has significantly reduced my algae problem and the aeration solution is the cheapest and most effective I have ever used! Nothing else in my pond set-up has changed and this is the first time in over a dozen years maintaining a pond that algae hasn't been a problem!!!)

I highly recommend this product!! But I do have one caveat: the instructions recommend a one-way valve (not included) to keep water from siphoning back into the pump if the power goes off. I was a tad annoyed that this item wasn't included in the kit but it cost only a couple of dollars at PetSmart and well worth the peace of mind.

I have a small plastic container near my pond that I use to protect the aeration

pump and my uv transformer. No problem drilling a hole for the power cord and airline (actually the hole was already there because of my uv clarifyer transformer needing protection).

I've recommended this product to all my friends with ponds. At Amazon's price of $30.00, I'm purchasing another for back-up.

This pump works great. It is larger than it appears in the pic. I'd say its about 9 inches long, and about 3.5 inches high. Maybe 4 inches thick. I have a 2200 gallon koi pond and this pump makes plenty of air for it. It produces a lot of bubbles. And if you have somewhere to put it, then you can't even hear it run. I just ran a long airline, and I never even hear this pump. It is also pretty power efficient. It doesn't come with an air stone though, for actually making the bubbles. You are going to need one of the larger airstones because this pump flows a lot more air than some of the smaller ones. I would recommend the big 5 inch circular one from petsmart or someplace like that. And you need to let the stone soak for a long time before using it, just like the package says. Or else it won't make bubbles near as well. Learned that from personal experience. All in all, this pump has served me very well. I would certainly not hesitate to buy another one. It has lasted fine in the freezing cold, and in the punishing texas heat.

Buy Laguna Aeration Kit for Ponds Now

Pros:

Can pump air to a decent depth. My pond is about 5 feet deep at it's lowest point and I had to weight the air-stone and drop it to about 4.5 feet or so. It kept pushing a respectable amount of bubbles at that depth, but much more that that and the output drops considerably.

Price. It's ability to pump at the depth I had it would have choked anything you could purchase at a local store at this price point. The depth will probably decrease it's usable life, but I had it running 24/7 for 4 months straight.

Air-stone and tubing is included. Nothing remarkable about the air-stone, but the tubing included with mine was much longer than the indicated 30" (inches? probably a typo, should be 30'), mine was closer to 25 feet. It's also the more expensive silicone tubing as opposed to the cheaper vinyl tubing that eventually gets hard and stiff.

The styrofoam float is a bit of an eyesore but it will keep the stone at whatever depth you need if you use it.

Cons:

In my opinion it is pretty loud at its highest setting. Not so loud that it is completely nerve-wracking (I've had smaller indoor aquarium air pumps that were louder after a while), but it's definitely not what I would consider quiet. You will notice it if you don't have a pretty vigorous waterfall or other background sounds.

If you were thinking about using it inside the home, it could probably run quite a few air-stones at the depths of your average indoor aquarium; however, the sound would be unacceptable to me in the house. I never tried to build a sound dampening box for it, so that may be a viable option.

Summary:

I used this in the hottest part of the summer to get additional movement and aeration in my pond because my bottom drain is not aerated. I think it's a little too loud for the area I have to put it in (near a seating area), so I'll probably relegate it to the far end of the patio and use it in a quarantine tank or try my hand at some hydroponics.

I think it's definitely worth the asking price, but obviously you'll need to spend much more if you need it to be quiet and run at deeper depths.

For years I would keep my pond pump running during the late fall and winter months, which meant that I had the clean the filter each week, a real pain in cold weather. I came across this product tht claimed it would provide aireation for the fish during these times of the year. This is my second one, the first lasted through two fall and winter seasons, but the power supply had lost some power. This is an excellent product and it should last me for another year or so. One thing it is important to know, you do not have to run this unit from inside your house or garage (as suggested in the instructions). Just get a plactic box (e.g. Rubbermaid) with a top, cut a hole for the air line to the pond and one for the electical cord and two holes on each side for ventalation. This keeps the unit dry and it has worked without fail 24/7 in below freezing temparatures. AT $49 or so, it is a real bargain.

Premier Pet, Press-Packed Bedding, 5.0 Cubic Feet Red Cedar Shavings

The great whiff of cedar hit my nose the first time I broke off a chunk of this great product! Such a great product! It far exceeded anything available locally! Great price and value! I wanted something to fill my pet beds with...and your Cedar Chips were just right! My dogs now wake from naps and they both have that wonderful cedar aroma about them! I LOVE IT! No more musty doggie smells...they both love their beds now...and sleep well thru the night! I don't have to worry sbout fleas or ticks...and the great cedar aroma follows them for most of the daywarning away any future hitch hikers! Thank you for the fast shipping! I can't reccomend this compacted Cedar block enough! It's compacted so when you break off a chunk, it expands into quite a bit of filling! I've filled 2 large pet beds and still have about 2/3 rds of the bag of compacted cedar chips to go! If anyone is wondering about whiose cedar filling to buy...Get this one, it's such a great value, and the cedar chips are VERY aromatic!! AAA+!

Added this to my Doug's beds and now they (and he) stay cedar fresh. However, I had to be careful as I was adding it. A few twigs and sticks were mixed in. Not a problem for rodents, I'd guess, but not comfy if you are using this for larger animals. Also, be advised that this is a huge amount--it's very densely packed. I wish I could reseal the bag instead of using a chip clip! It will take me a very long time to use this up!!

VIP Products Mighty Cassie Cow Jr. Farm Dog Toy, White and Black

The toy is very sturdy and well made. Although my labs are larger dogs, they enjoy carrying the smaller version around and making it squeak.

I got this cow toy for my dogs, a Havanese & Cockapoo. They both love the toy! My cockapoo always chews through every toy she has. They claim the toy discourages chewing. I have to disagree...my dogs did chew on it immediately. The squeaker was broken within a minute. However, it took them 3 days to chew off the ear. That is longer than most their toys last! So it's not so tough they can't chew through it, but it is better than most dog toys. Also, the description says it is rated an 8 on durascale rating, and it is actually a 7.

Dog Gone Round Smart Cat Bed with Sherpa Ecru Piping

The quality of this bed is great and my cat would have loved it if only it was only 5 inches wider. She's average size (10 pounds) and could not fit in this bed comfortably. I tried to get her in and she fit in but she couldn't move at all and within a minute or two, she'd leave. I tried catnip as well but again, she'd leave within a minute. I returned the bed reluctantly because for the price paid, the bed should be in use. I so wish they made a bed just like this one but larger.

I purchased a number of different shapes and sizes of the Dog Gone Smart beds for our 7 cats and 2 dogs. All of them use and enjoy the rectangular and round beds (with and without sherpa tops although the sherpa tops are much preferred), however, only 1 out of our 7 cats liked this particular cat bed. In fact, she loves it! However, if you only have one cat for whom you are buying this cat bed, be aware that it might be hit or miss as to whether he/she uses it or not.
