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.

Zilla 11752 Fresh Air Screen Cover with Hinged Door, 10-Inch by 20-Inch

Zilla 11752 Fresh Air Screen Cover with Hinged Door, 10-Inch by 20-InchFits perfectly on our snakes 10 gallon cage. Is easy to add safety locks to so you don't have young children opening it or sneaky snakes trying to escape. The opening is large enough to safely get the snake out or put food in without worrying about hurting yourself or the snake.

A little flimsy, but it does its job. I like the little hatch because it makes it helpful to feed my pacman. Does look a little weak, but hey I'm not putting 10lbs on it lol. I have a single flourescent bulb on it and it hold up very well.

I bought this for my brother's 10 gallon anole set up. I love that is has a locking door on the top, because opening the whole screen has allowed his anoles to escape in the past. The only complaint I have is that the door doesn't seal completely flush with the rest of the screen, so there were tiny openings that a very small animal could possibly get through. I think we may have had a small cricket escape that way. Otherwise it was a great investment.

Our gerbil population grew unexpectedly (eek seems those WEREN'T 2 males we brought home from the pet store!) and we needed to set up a second habitat. Pulled an old fish tank from our "pets of the past" stash, added this cover, and wired a water bottle off to one side through the mesh top. Great product!

I bought this screen cover to use on a 10 gallon tank with a small snake. The hatch does not secure flush with the rest of the screen cover and can be easily pushed up to allow small animals such as snakes and geckos to escape. I would not recommend using this screen cover for any animal that can fit through small spaces.

Replacement Impeller for Koralia Nano and Koralia 1

Replacement Impeller for Koralia Nano and Koralia 1Perfect replacement. The item was the one that the manufacturer suggested and this is one of the few places to get it. It works perfectly in my 13 gallon aquarium. Love my fish. Aerates and provides current.

The propeller works as expected, however the fan blades were slightly larger than the original. This caused a small plastic tab inside the housing to rub and lock up the fan. Removing the internal plastic tab fixed the issue.

Pennplax Lost City of Atlantis Medium Replica Aquarium Decor

Pennplax Lost City of Atlantis Medium Replica Aquarium DecorThe statue looks great in my tank and the fish seem to like it. When it came in the mail I was dissapointed in the way they packed it. I found a chip on the base due to the poor packaging but was able to fix it myself. All in all its a good product.

If you know someone that has fancy aquariums, buy this for them. Don't tell them though. Just sneak it into one of their tanks. This is a sea king worthy of the finest saltwater kingdom.

Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red

Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, RedThis particular product is not truly epoxy in that it WILL create a fit between two rocks (etc), but does NOT adhere them. It's consistency and adhesiveness is comparable to dried bubble gum, so keep that in mind. It is useful if used in conjunction with superglue, but at that point it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. I would not recommend it.

This is some good stuff. My recommendation is that you knead it longer than I did the first couple times. It comes with a green stick of puddy and a purple. The longer you knead it the quicker it sets up and the color is a deeper purple more resembling coraline algae and not a clump of puddy in your tank. Resealable container so you can cut off what you need and not worry it will dry out. Does break down a little meaning it fogs the salt water slightly but the protein skimmer takes care of all that pretty quickly.

Buy Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red Now

AquaStik Epoxy is really good at some applications, and really not great at others. Firstly, it's fantastic at affixing your live rock in a reef tank or FOWLR. It's not so great at affixing a plug for a frag into the live rock unless you have holes that it can squish into. If you're trying to get a piece of coral on a plug stuck into a more difficult area, you're going to end up frustrated with this epoxy. It has a very weak hold and even when applied if you have larger fish (or in my case an eel) they will eventually knock the entire piece of coral free.

Another drawback is the smell and the fact you have to hand mix the putty together, if you have sensitive skin it will burn your fingers and be very uncomfortable. If you don't, you'll still notice the heat. It's very easy to over mix the epoxy in which case you've rendered it useless. The stench is incredible (as should be expected) so the entire application can become unpleasant. I tend to think that aquascaping should be an enjoyable thing, even if you're peppering in profanity because a rock is shifting or your coral doesn't look "just right". You don't need to muck it up with further with stinging fingers and an acrid smell.

A plus is that it does really mimic the appearance of purple/red coralline algae so it will blend in if your live rock is sufficiently covered. Another is that because of its impermanent nature in an active reef tank you are just using it long enough for coral to grow into/onto the rock. If you're looking for a better solution with more varied uses than a putty I'd suggest CorAffix Cyanoacrylate Adhesive or CorAffix Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Gel 0.7 oz..

I ordered this to repair a pump (Hydor Korlia 3) because it broke from its magnetic base. I put it on and it looks great in my tank. But there are some problems i have had with it. For one it smells HORIBLE when you are using it. If you ever used mighty putty then you know what i am talking about. Also when applying it and it is very loose. But all-in-all it does what it says and gets the job done.

CC CAVE #1207

CC CAVE #1207This was smaller than I expected. That's my fault, because I should have read better. Also, the color that is in the picture is not what I got at all. That was one of the reasons I chose this for my lizard tank. It is a grey stone color. Not the orange desert rock color that I saw in the picture. Oh well. Other than that, it is what it says it is. Just make sure you check the dimensions before you buy it.

As a previous reviewer said, the color of this product is GRAY, not a desert-colored rock. However, my daughter still wanted it and was happy with it. Just want to make sure others know -or the company selling this should make the product description/photo more clear.

Exotic Environments Split Shipwreck Aquarium Ornament, Large, 11-Inch by 5-Inch by 4-1/4-Inch

Exotic Environments Split Shipwreck Aquarium Ornament, Large, 11-Inch by 5-Inch by 4-1/4-InchThis ornament looks a lot better in the picture than it does in person. The green is kinda ugly in person compared to what it looks like online. Its more of a dark grayish-green. The ship and everything else is also not as colorful as in the picture but the shipwreck still has great detail to it, just in darker colors. I like the ornament but I wish they would use a truer picture for it.

1st, this is not a "Large" Aquarium piece at all. 2nd, the measurements are more like 10.5"x3"x4 1/4", and 3rd, the coloring is NOTHING like the photo. The "Rum" words are barely made out, the green is very dark, not light, and the overall painting is dark and dismal, not that of any aquarium piece. I feel very taken by this listing, and am glad to be able to return. I would in no way recommend this unless you have a small aquarium, 10 gallons or less, and do not like color involved.

All Glass Aquarium AAG29071 Versa Top, 48 by 18-Inch

All Glass Aquarium AAG29071 Versa Top, 48 by 18-InchThis is a perfect fit for Aqueon and All Glass brand 75 gallon aquariums. I have several aquariums (Aqueon 20L, Marineland 55 gallon) and this is the tightest fitting top. It comes in two pieces to accommodate the center brace. Note, if your 75 gallon tank has black silicone, you will need to look for a Marineland/Perfecto top as the center brace is 1/2 inch thinner for that manufacturer.

Top arrived broken. No surprise, there wasn't even a warning on the package saying it's fragile. Also you would think a glass product is carefully wrapped before being put into the box. ,

Boyd Enterprises ABE16710 Freshwater Vitachem for Aquarium, 16-Ounce

Boyd Enterprises ABE16710 Freshwater Vitachem for Aquarium, 16-OunceThis was a neat product. Don't be surprised when you dump it in if you see white dots go everywhere. It spreads little tiny things throughout the tank (like smashed vitamins). The fish go crazy and eat bits and pieces of it. It does eventually disappear and you won't notice it afterwards. At first though you go "What in the..." Grin. But, the fish like it so that's all that matters.

This is by far the best product I could have purchased for my discus aquarium. Heals little nips and cuts they can get from getting scared and running into something and overall my discus look more vibrant and healthy than before I started giving it to them. I mix it in with my own homemade fish food and they eat it up. Highly recommend.

Como Pair Brass Underwater Airstones Muffler Air Stone Connector for Fish Tank Aquarium

Como Pair Brass Underwater Airstones Muffler Air Stone Connector for Fish Tank AquariumI would not use these in a salt water setup as a matter of caution even though the supplier says it's safe for both fresh and salt water tanks. I doubt much copper would be leached, but with $100 or better per fish it would be rolling the dice, and they are pets as well. I use two in my 36 gallon fresh water with no issues and so far no sign of oxides or corrosion.

Zoo Med Coral Flora Sun Plant Growth Bulb T8 32 Watts, 48-Inch

Zoo Med Coral Flora Sun Plant Growth Bulb T8 32 Watts, 48-InchMy plants grow full and green when using these bulbs. Used with all my veggies I started indoors this year (peppers, tomatos, eggplants and zucchini). Good value for the money.

Just like sunlight but doesn't burn the seedlings! Plant seeds, feed nutrients when true leaves appear, and you'll have strong transplants to put outside! Worth every penny!

This bulb has that purplish-pink glow; like the ones you see above the fish tanks in your local pet store. Its red and blue phosphors and 5000*k color temperature rating really enhance the colors of freshwater tropical fish and live aquatic plants.

But it's relatively expensive compared to other 48" t-8 fluorescent bulbs. (You can buy a package of two GE's or Philips t-8's at one of the 'big box' home improvement stores for around eight bucks.) The GE's look off-white in comparison to the Flora Sun (even though they're both rated 5000* Kelvin), but the combined effect of using one of each bulb is like looking at high noon on a warm sunny day in my fish tank.

My live plants have begun to put on much new growth since I upped the amount of light in the tank.

Pet Buddies PB1721 Googlie Clover Cow Large Toy

Pet Buddies PB1721 Googlie Clover Cow Large ToyI think we own 5 or 10 of these "Googlies" by now and we love them (Oh, and so does the dog!). They keep Duke entertained for hours on end because of the unique shapes and the squeaking, I think. Plus, we like them because of the neat characters! I definitely recommend checking out a Googlie or two for you and your pet!

I have a lab that is murder on toys. It is only the black heavy duty kong that she has not been able to destroy within an hour until this. Stella loves squeeker toys but they do not last, period. I was concerned that the many protuberances would give her a starting point for the inevitable destruction but amazingly that has not been the case. She loves the toy and I could not be happier that it has lasted two weeks already with no sign of damage.

Mine give a nice mix of bubbles and seem to aerate the tank just fine.

I go through air stones for my hermit crab pools a lot. This brand seems to work better and last longer in their pools. They do the job aerating and don't get slimy like the other brands I have tried.
