Cat Play Build-A-Nest - 4-Toys-in-1

Cat Play Build-A-Nest - 4-Toys-in-1My cat (and I) absolutely love this toy! The nest is adorable, well-made, and keeps my kitty entertained. Each of the 4 toys is a little different and has unique qualities to stimulate your catThe chick has a rattle in it and a feathered tail, the worm is fun for batting around and has a bell on its tail, the egg crinkles, and the nest itself is made of super soft fabric and has little tassels to tease kitties. 5 stars, great toy...one of OUR favorites :) !

This cat toy is more suited for a kitten or a very small cat. The toys are tiny. I'm not sure I see teh point of the "nest." My cats weren't interested in that part at all. They mostly liked the little green worm, but, again, it's very tiny (think pinky sized) and, well, my cats are not. I wouldn't buy this particular toy again.

We have a blind cat, and was hoping that the "crinkly" one would interest her, but no go. Simple toy for cats, so maybe it will work for you.

AquaClear Quick Filter Refill Cartridge for AquaClear Quick Filter Powerhead Attachment (A578) - 2-

AquaClear Quick Filter Refill Cartridge for AquaClear Quick Filter Powerhead Attachment - 2-Packbe careful when you throw these away not to throw away the inner tube like i did. I also rinse it off once a week and get some pretty good extended use out of them.

Almost as effective as a diatom filter and much, much easier to use. None of the messy and time consuming diatomaceous earth filtering medium changes. Combined with occasional diatom filter use keeps water crystal clear.

Since starting to use this product my fish are more active and the water stays clearer, and apparently healthier. I give this my highest recommendation. Everyone should have one.

Clears water extremely fast! I wouldn't want to run a tank without one of these. the only drawback is that it is pretty bulky (about 6 inches long by 2.5 wide).

These are great! They attach to a (sold separately) filter that you can attach to a powerhead. Cloudy water is cleared in an hour! However, they do get dirty pretty quick and need replacement often. In my opinion, it's a small price to pay for crystal clear beautiful water.

Marineland 31003 Silicone Squeeze Tube, 2.8-Ounce, 85.05-Gram

Marineland 31003 Silicone Squeeze Tube, 2.8-Ounce, 85.05-GramReceived a 150 gallon tank that is around 10 years old and told it had a leak. Spent weeks cleaning and stripping old silicone out. Last thing I wanted was to test fill the beast and have it leak so purchased this product. 48 hours later filled tank and no leaks, can't ask for anything better.

I used this product to seal the leak on a uv sterilizer and it has worked very well.

I recommend this product.

This is a great all around aquarium sealant for the glass, plastic, hinges, ornaments, CO2 tubing/accessories, and anything else inside or outside the tank. However, this is a low temperature product for "normal" aquarium temperatures up to 120F. Any attempt to glue LED lights, or pieces under T5, T8, CF, or any other higher heat producing items will melt this silicone. So, use with caution!

Strongly recommended for everyday aquatic use. Not for high temperature use.

If you are an aquarium nut like myself, this product is absolutely the thing to use for small repairs to the tank. I have found it also works the best for repairs to your aquarium decor pieces, also adding decor greenery to your other tank decor. It is fish safe and holds great.

Zilla 11891 Coconut Bedding Brick

Zilla 11891 Coconut Bedding BrickCoconut husk is my bedding of choice for my hermit crabs. It holds the moisture well, but still dries out fast enough to help prevent mold.

This block will not take a gallon of water, like the label says. It will absorb that much, but it will be a soppy mess that will attract mold like no other. This block will fill up one ten gallon tank with around 4 to 6 inches of bedding, too much for most needs. I would recommend either flaking off portions of this brick or sawing it in half.

I've purchased husk bedding in the past that was dirty, and I've even found a cricket in one before from a local pet store. This was clean with only one piece of foreign matter plastic strip of some kind.

I also like the fact that this is larger shreds of the coconut husk. I've had some in the past that turned to dust after they dried out, but this one holds up well and is still fluffy in the tank.

Holds moisture, humidity and temperature well. I use this for nesting for my bearded dragons, as well as normal substrate for my box turtles. Couldn't be happier

Nylabone Dura Chew Plus Wavy Bone Chew Toy

Nylabone Dura Chew Plus Wavy Bone Chew ToyOur dog is a very powerful chewer, and destroys nearly every toy we throw at him. So we got a Nylabone Flexichew he went through that faster than we liked. So then we got this Durachew version, hoping it would take him a little longer to get through it. It did last longer, until he managed to bite off a piece about the size of a jelly bean that became lodged in his bottom tooth. What an ordeal to remove it!

Only then did we look at the official website, where it states somewhere in the middle of a wall of text that this product is intended only for teething puppies and not for fully grown dogs. It does not say this anywhere on this site or on the packaging itself.

At first we were happy that our dog liked this toy and happily shaved away at the nylon, but we're sufficiently scared of the Nylabone product line that we'll stay away from now on. Do not recommend for powerful chewers.

My dog is an aggressive chewer...nothing lasts but nylabones. I liked the toy but my dog still prefers the wishbone and circle ring to this toy.

Want Nylabone Dura Chew Plus Wavy Bone Chew Toy Discount?

Okay, so my boy loves ALL Nylabone toys, but this seems to be his favorite lately. The only problem, as with all Nylabone toys is that if you have an aggressive chewer, the ends tend to get sharp quickly and could be dangerous. I always check the edges of my dog's just to make sure nothing is going to be poking and cutting the inside of his mouth. This is a great one though, will be buying again!

Captain Kidd Treasure Aquarium Ornament, Small

Captain Kidd Treasure Aquarium Ornament, SmallThe product fits beautifully in our 10-gallon tank, providing color to an otherwise bleak underwater world.

Wendy Whale, our goldfish, is oblivious to the product, but that is as it should be. Our son, however, loved receiving and then placing the unit in the tank.

My only criteria for the product, that the unit do no harm to the fish, was met completely. Wendy Whale continues to live in good health.

Petco Brooklyn 55 Gallon Metal Tank Stand

Petco Brooklyn 55 Gallon Metal Tank StandFirst the stand is real metal. I have had the particle board stands over the years and once they get wet they are done for.

This will definitely hold a 55 gallon tank. It is easy to put together but be aware that the finish scratches easily. If it is really powder coating as they claim, it is the thinnest coating I have ever seen. If a Burbur carpet could scratch the finish it is not powder coating. Most of the welded corners are ground down flush and only a few are not perfect. You really have to get close to see it.

And my big gripe? There was welding spatter in one of the bolt holes. This caused difficulty in getting the bolt in. I couldn't. A tap was needed to clear it out. The threads are 8mm 1.25 for the record. And yes it is made in China.

One last great feature I have never seen in a wooden stand is that the feet are adjustable. This is great! Just put a level on the stand and you can make it perfect! It does not matter if your floor is not perfectly level.

This is an incredibly great product. Assembly and set up was very easy and all the necessary tools (an Allen/hexagonal wrench) are supplied. Finish of the product pieces was perfect and, contrary to experience/claim of another reviewer, the finish was not subject to incidental damage. On top of its attractive modern design, this stand is incredibly strong and should easily be able to support 800 lbs. (Typical 55 gallon set up is about 600 lbs. not including the stand.) Feet are adjustable, so if your floor is not perfectly level, no problem! (This is a feature I have never seen in a competitive acquarium stand product.) And the price can't be beat!

What could be bad about this? Well maybe you don't like the metal construction or color, preferring something wooden. Or maybe you don't like the open design, wanting a cabinet where you can hide your equipment from site below the tank without using skirting material.

But when it comes to strength and functional utility, this actually may be the best 55 gallon acquarium stand that money can buy.

This product was packed and shipped by Petco. There were places on the product where the paint had been rubbed off. Would suggest to Petco to place bubble wrap around pieces to avoid the paint from rubbing off. Easy to put together. The stand is very high and really shows off the aquarium. Over all very pleased with product

Looks great I love the clean look and this is a strong table that goes great with the look in my home

Want Petco Brooklyn 55 Gallon Metal Tank Stand Discount?

This stand holds my 55 gal. aquarium well enough. However, I'd be lying if I said I'm not the slightest bit disappointed. My stand came with some defects. Firstly, one of the bolt holes was stripped. None of the bolts would tighten up into that top hole, which supports the top piece. It was quite aggravating, enough that I even considered taking it back to my local Petco and getting my money back, but it didn't come to that. With a little tape placed around the bolt, I was able to screw it in so that it wasn't as loose, and I felt that was sufficient enough.

After I got it together and set my 55 gallon tank on it did the real problem surface. There is a huge gap in the center of the tank between the tank itself and the stand. I mean, I can see through this gap and to my wall on the other side! A tank that is expected to hold roughly 650 pounds of water needs every inch of its base fully supported by the stand, otherwise, the unevenness will put stress in odd places of the tank's base, causing leaks, possibly even cracks, or shattering the tank. To remedy this, I am going to buy a Styrofoam sheet from my local hardware store and place that under my tank to help properly support the base.

This stand is definitely not the highest of quality. But, I paid 75 bucks for something that successfully holds a 55 gal. aquarium full of water, but with a bit of help from Styrofoam. I can't really argue. All in all, I'm somewhat satisfied. It looks nice, and it has adjustable feet, which was a big plus for me, as my floors aren't quite level.

It's sturdy and it was a great buy either way. Just watch out for those bolts and the uneven surface.

Zoo Med Ceramic Sinking Catfish Log, 6.5-Inch

Zoo Med Ceramic Sinking Catfish Log, 6.5-InchI got this for my brother's tank because he has 3 yoyo loaches that love small spaces, since it was a little too open for them we just buried the log in the gravel and they love to hang out in there now. They are going to max out at 6 inches so this should do the job even when they are adults. We even stuck some java fern stems in the holes at the 'limb' part that the yoyos loosened from the gravel.

This is a great item for the aquarium. My bristlenose pleco stays in it most of the day. He loves it. It seems to be well-made and of good quality. It can at times be difficult to find aquarium ornaments that meet the high standards necessary for my pets, but this one is excellent. I may even buy another one or two for a 55-gallon aquarium we are planning to set up a few months from now.

Want Zoo Med Ceramic Sinking Catfish Log, 6.5-Inch Discount?

Wasn't too sure about the shiny appearance of this pottery 'log' when I first saw it after unpacking, but following a good rinse in the sink, I half buried it in my aquarium's gravel and partially hid it among some live plants. It looks great; no longer shiny, and its mix of earth-toned glazes helps it to blend right in with my tank's natural appearance.

I have two small cory catfish, as well as a small clown loach and a small yoyo loach (they're small for now, anyway...)in a four foot long 65 gallon. They all appreciate having yet another hiding spot in addition to the Mopani wood and plants, and this cave will help to maintain a peaceful aquarium with enough 'privacy' for them all...

Fluval Magnetic Impeller w/straight fan blades, 404, 405 - 110V

Fluval Magnetic Impeller w/straight fan blades, 404, 405 - 110VThree years with my Fluval 405 so I guess it's about time. It started rattling like crazy. Than flow slowed down. Then no flow at all. Found where the rattling was from, and ordered this part. I took this opportunity to inspect and replace a few parts which have deteriorated. Only after the new parts came did I notice how much the old parts deteriorated. Replacing it was an immediate fix. Flow is back. Power is back. Noise is gone.

Did not expect to have to replace this part but so glad I found replacement parts (for cheap) on Amazon instead of having to buy a whole replacement filter. I actually ordered a whole other set of these replacement parts for the next time I may need it.

Just as perfect as the original impeller. No regrets buying it and water flow is restored to original pump standard.

I keep extra parts for my filter on hand. When cleaning the filter the last thing you need is something to break. I've found that the place I bought my filter from does not carry any parts besides the filters.

I cant go without having extra parts on hand. To much $$$ invested in my fish tank setup to worry about broken parts. When a part breaks I order a replacement part ASAP.

Laguna Service Kit for Pressure-Flo 1400 Pressurized Pond Filter

Laguna Service Kit for Pressure-Flo 1400 Pressurized Pond FilterI bought this to clean out my existing (2 year old) filter and start fresh this spring. This comes with all "O rings" in addition to short brushes, filter rings, and a new UV bulb. A small tube of silicone lubricant is also supplied to ensure the o rings do not dry out. The only thing this kit doesn't include are the bio rings but those should last forever. A solid five stars for this service kit: exactly what I needed.

made and provided by the manufaturer so you know it will perform weel and fit correctly.

I also like the actual filter.

Alkaline Buffer, 300 g / 10.6 oz

Alkaline Buffer, 300 g / 10.6 ozThis is typically used with the Seachem product Acid Buffer as a way to stabilize the pH of aquarium water. Both products work very well.

I have used this product over the years, and bought it again when I set up a new fish tank. I was being a bit of a purist when I bought it, because I know that common, Arm and Hammer baking soda will also raise pH.

You can use baking soda instead of this, and your aquarium will be just fine, even if you have delicate fish like cardinal tetras and a planted tank. I have used baking soda in a discus tank, too. The baking soda will release some salts that this product won't, but I've never had it be a problem. Just do your water changes at least every two weeks and all will be well. All will probably be well even if you don't do water changes, frankly.

Buy this if you're super paranoid about keeping your water as close to perfect as possible. If you're on any kind of a budget, though, seriously consider using baking soda. You can combine it with Acid Buffer just like this product, and your fish will probably never know the difference. You really don't need this.

I could believe when'd I test the water minutes after ad the buffer ! Alkaline is perfect and ph are perfect also ! Tips ad half of the amount they recommend for the first time ! You will be impress with the results !

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Tropical Water Background

Aquavista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium with Tropical Water Background, Silver FrameFirst, I would like to say that if you are considering buying this product, you should read this. I was very mislead by the youtube videos, and all the product reviews on this product. I have had this product for over 6 months. Let me explain to you, my story.

1. Purchased Product, Received Product fairly quick. Missing Mint Cloth, Screws & Hardware, also the entire lightning balast system /including bulb.

No problem? Just exchange it right? Wrong. 2nd Product Received with the same accessories missing plus a plastic part on the aquiarum cover/lid was broke off. And instead of the aquarium saying Aquavista (under where the frame goes, it said "china" embedded in the plastic.)

Hmm.. I think to myself.. This can't happen a third time can it? Why, Yes it can! It came from china. Same missing accessories: Screws & Hardware, cloth, lightning ballast system + bulb. Wow, Right off the bat someone would rate this a 1 star.. Not me, I'm willing to give it a shot!

I call Amazon, they told me to contact Aquavista. Aquavista Customer Service Support was very nice, they sent me Lightning Ballast + bulb that i had to install / + free filters.

After setting up this aquarium, i had bought my own pebbles / Rocks. ( this will become a nightmare as small rocks will fall in the filteration area and become stuck). I followed the manual, waited to put fish in tank.

I have had a horrible time with this tank, I have to clean this tank at least once every week otherwise the tank becomes filthy and fish start dying. I have had horrible, horrible experiences with this tank. Here's one to mention. One morning, GloTetra Disappeared. Hmm.. Where he go? Called aquavista. They told me to check behind the aquarium background. (was really fun trying to take this off after setting aquarium up.) Long story short, in the bottom right side of tank, theres a small hole (between black filter cover and background in corner of tank) where little fishies can get through. SO, Mr. Fish was stuck behind the tank. Long story short, becasue i had to bend background alittle to get fish on other side, small rocks fell between the plastic and background to where the picture would not fit the way it should. Had to take the entire tank apart, fake aquarium plants, small ship, fish, rocks.. everything. This was truely a nightmare. This didn't happen once, but three times. Once with a albino frog (didn't have to take the tank apart because he was easier to get) and also a neon tetra who is decaying in the bottom of the tank under the black filter. Oh yes, this causes disease and all fish will die, Except my Pleco + Frog. I have bought a water testing kit before all of this happened, and the ammoneia levels were extremely high. (50-100% water changes + cleaning of all objects/rocks) per week. To top things off? If you accidently overfill the aquarium with water (there is a meter) water will drip on your floor. But one time dripped on the right side instead of the left side. This caused the LCD touchpad + Screen to short out. Aquavista customer server was extremely nice, and sent me another one for me to replace. I paid $ 140 160 for this product and felt that I extremely over paid for cheap china plastic and poor quality. Poor Filtration in a 5.5 Gal = Death to all fish (cept pleco+frog or other high immune system species)

I would not have gotten this product if I would have known all of this could happen. It's truely a beautiful tank when it is lit up and turned on. Then the beautiful moment is ruined by fish who sink to the bottom of your tank lifeless and dead. Go to your local pet store to buy an aquarium worth spending this much money on.

Looks really nice, It's definitely the vocal point of the room. The only draw back is that it's a little noisy when the filter is running.

Hagen Marina Mermaid Goldfish Kit

Hagen Marina Mermaid Goldfish KitWe bought this tank for my daughter's third birthday. All was fine, until the fish started getting caught in the mermaid decoration. We've lost 2 fish now (and have taken the decoration out of the tank), because they died getting caught in there. It's a nice tank, filter works great, it's a good size for a child, but beware the death trap! We've since put other decorations into the tank that do not pose an entanglement risk.

I love this fish tank! I wasn't sure about the quality because we found it on sale (at a pet store) but it's amazing. I haven't had any problems with the filter, it works great, I did have to put it in the lowest setting, otherwise it's too strong for our poor Rosie (betta fish). I'm planning on laminating the background image so it's not ruined if it gets wet (it goes on the outside of the tank). I bought a light separately, along with a couple of purple and green plants, castle and treasure chest. You don't really need any of the "extras" but I saw the pink castle and chest at the store and had to have them. The plants were just to add a bit of color but I love how it turned out, I can't stop looking at it. And I think Rosie likes it too :)
