Marina Girl Theme Betta Fish Aquarium Bonus Pack
Buy Marina Girl Theme Betta Fish Aquarium Bonus Pack Now
I wouldn't use this for any fish but it was great for my little Marimo before it started to get a little bigger. I also used one to hold my little ghost shrimp before putting in the 5 gal tank after I was sure it wouldn't give any diseases or anything. That's about all I used this little thing for.Read Best Reviews of Marina Girl Theme Betta Fish Aquarium Bonus Pack Here

It looks nice! Although I did have it laminated so it wouldn't get damaged if wet. It was a great idea to do so because it has gotten wet from time to time (especially when I take the top off to clean the tank). If you buy it...LAMINATE IT FIRST!!!!I love this product , it made my aquarium look bright and nice , it's very strong ,will recommendWant SpongeBob SquarePants® 23.6"x 15.7" Aquarium Background for 10-20 Gallon Tanks Discount?
I don't think you can go wrong with SpongeBob with me. My aquarium looks fantastic! I added a pineapple (fake of course) and my eel uses it as his hide out! The fish never see him coming!Sunday, October 19, 2014
Zoo Med Laboratories AZMAFE1 Earthworm Flake, 1-Ounce
The high protein ew flakes are also a good addition to the rainbows' diet, since they feed on insects & insect larvae in the wild & need a high protein diet. Rainbows generally spawn like crazy all the time, but if they don't get enough protein in their diets they tend to eat the eggs & fry. My furcatas are in the same 55 as the hillstreams (bottom half of tank is river rocks with a power head providing current over/through them, top half has tons of riccia & java moss). Starting with 1 male & 4 female furcatas, I now have at least a couple dozen babies of varying sizes. The furcatas aren't usually too wild about flake food, but they also happily snork down the earthworm flakes.
I definitely recommend this food as part of a good aquarium fish diet. [I also feed live microworms, white worms, Grindal worms (when I can get 'em), baby brine shrimp, & fruit flies, as well as frozen daphnia, rotifers, bloodworms, & mysis (for the larger fish).]

I'm not super happy with the life of these bulbs. That said, they do the job, and the Turbo Twist units are great.If you're thinking about running UV continuously for the sake of general water purity, consider that it's not necessarily to do so with most aquaria. We ran continuous UV for awhile but found that replacing our carbon with Seachem Purigen worked as good or better at removing organic impurities in our water. Purigen polishes the water amazingly well, even where some algae is present. Plus, it's renewable and lasts 5-10x longer than carbon. Now we only use UV if one of our pets is ill (rarely), which keeps us from buying UV lamps every few months. It's sooo much less expensive this way.

Was so disappointed when it showed up broken; but received a brand new one in the mail quickly and in perfect condition. So impressed and pleased.Want Coralife 05741 3X Turbo Twist UV Replacement Lamp, 9-Watt Discount?
This lamp is a true replacement product for the Turbo Twist UV sterilizer. Easy enough to install. My only complaints about these bulbs is that if run continuously (as they should be), they only last around 6months. If you are currently using this product, be sure to purchase a spare and keep an eye on the bulb as it will need frequent changes. Good luck!Monday, June 30, 2014
Laguna PowerGlo Mini Pond Light Kit
Buy Laguna PowerGlo Mini Pond Light Kit Now
These lights work just fine in my 10 x 8 koi pond. I placed them in the middle at the bottom. I pointed one at each end and left the one in the middle shine up to the top. Not to bright but just enough. For the price you can't beat them. Even my fish like them!Read Best Reviews of Laguna PowerGlo Mini Pond Light Kit Here
I purchased these lights less than 6 months ago and one by one, all the lights burned out. I'm going to have to contact Laguna to get them replaced. Also the cord connecting the 3 lights is way too short to accomplish anything fancy in my small 1000gal Koi pond!Love this light set up. I have it in a very small pond, 50 gallons with shower fountain. It looks like hot lava! This would not be for medium or large ponds, unless you just wanted to highlight a waterfall or small fountain. The lights are small and so is the distance between each one. The price you can't beat, but I wish it was a solar unit. We're going to put it on an outdoor timer to save on energy though the night.Sunday, June 29, 2014

Glofish 5-Pound Aquarium Gravel Bag, Black with White Fluorescent
Also some of the white rocks are a redish orange color.
But i like that they're nice and round and not sharp. There are an even amount of both black and white rocks.

Squeaky Freakies Rubber Dog Toy
This freaky squeaky is a funny looking toy, good to throw and have your dog chase. And it is a good price. I would buy it again, but so far I don't have to.

Our little Boston Terrier is a terror with toys, shreds them immediately. He absolutely loves this toy and hasn't been able to make a dent in it yet.My dog loves squeaky toys but he tears them apart way too fast. This is a tough toy & he really likes it. Large is really too big for a 55 lb hound though as he can't make it squeak. Probably a med would do better.The toy was a big hit with our boston terrier and lab, german Shepard mix. The toy was a bit smaller than what I expected, I will choose a bigger size next time! The squeaker lasted about a week, but in our house, that is a long time. Even with the squeaker not working, the dogs still love to chew on this toy!Friday, April 25, 2014

Lees 4 way Cone Worm Feeder
GO CARDS!!!
Buy Lees 4 way Cone Worm Feeder Now
the small suction cup broke off after two weeks using it. I would not buy again. The suction cup holds the feeder to the tank. I use it to feed my community tank freeze-dried tubifex worms. I basically have the cone inverted at the bottom of the tank since freeze-dried tubifex floats. So the worms stay at the apex of the cone, where all the fishes pick on the worms until they're all gone. I rated it 4 stars because the cone is not attached to the ring I had to superglue it on.This is definitely worth getting for your aquarium, I use much less worms per feeding session and there is much less waste vs dropping the worms directly into the tank and giving the fish a time limit to eat before they hit the bottom. I enjoy watching the fish swim up to the worm cone and ripping a fish right out of there too.Saturday, January 18, 2014

External / Hang On Plastic Aquarium Fish Breeding Box Satellite M (new)
The medium is 1.2 liter. If you have room, I'd get the large size which is 2 liters, but the medium is quite spacious and you can raise quite a few fry in it.The product is quite good actually but all the instructions are japanese although it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to put it together and you can just follow the pictures. Also, I live in hong kong where this is being posted from and was charged 10USD or 78 Hong Kong dollar for sending it just down the road, i think that this is crazy, as I have posted things here locally many times and postage for such a small item doesn't cost anywhere near that amount, even sending things to the US from here for such a small item doesn't cost that amount.

I deeply regret not having heeded the advice of others.
Buy Mag Float 360A Magnetic Cleaner for Acrylic - Large - up to 350 Gallon Now
Works exactly as advertised. I have a 225 gallon acrylic tank with 1/2" thick acrylic. Does a very good job cleaning, with no visible scratching that I could see. I was even able to clean right along the sand line at the bottom of the tank, it moved some sand, but none got trapped between the acrylic and the cleaner. Very happy would recommend for anyone.Read Best Reviews of Mag Float 360A Magnetic Cleaner for Acrylic - Large - up to 350 Gallon Here
I do wish that this item was stronger, or that there was a stronger model availible on amazon. I have a 220 gallon tank with 3/4 inch plate glass. This does do wonders however, I just wish the magnetism was stronger, as it pops free of the glass while scrubbing.Want Mag Float 360A Magnetic Cleaner for Acrylic - Large - up to 350 Gallon Discount?

Exotic Environments Red Sea Hide-Away Aquarium Ornament
So, if you like darker colors, you'll love it. If you want the bright colors pictured, don't get it!
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.

HBH Enterprises Cut your own Ammonia Filter Pad 10x18in
I have been having horrible problems with ammonia in my 55 gallon tank. I have tried multiple solutions with little to no success ranging from partial water changes to chemicals. The HBH Aqua Pure Ammonia filter pad has done an excellent job. I still have slight traces of ammonia, but ammonia at .25 to .5 ppm of ammonia is a lot better than 4.0+ ppm.
Just to fill you in, I have had this tank operating just fine for about 2 years. It was very well cycled. I do not use an RO system to filter the water, but I do filter the water to remove chloramines and other contaminants. The ammonia level in the filtered water is typically .5 ppm. Not great, but manageable. I typically do partial water changes of 10 to 15 gallons just to get rid of excess waste. But, recently and for some unknown reason, the ammonia started to spike. Same fish, so nothing has changed. I tested the water and it's the same. So, I don't have an explanation for the spike in ammonia.
Other ammonia removers with partial water changes just were not doing the trick. This has been by far the best and easiest solution.
Best of all the fish are healthy, eat well, and don't appear to have any problems.
At some point I will probably invest in a good RO system to help with the elimination of ammonia completely.
