Coastal Pet Products DCP83519 Latex Rascals Long Legged Monkey Dog Toy, 16-Inch, Green

Coastal Pet Products DCP83519 Latex Rascals Long Legged Monkey Dog Toy, 16-Inch, GreenI got this to replace the old Voss Toys monkey that ripped. It is not quite as large as the old monkey. Maybe 70% the size of the first one. It seems to be holding up well but it is not as well loved as the first monkey which was the #1 favorite toy. Granted there were a lot of new toys to compete with but this monkey is not as great as the first monkey.

Received the items on time. They float which makes them perfect for our pets.

The are not a pull toy and are too large for smaller dogs. The dogs love them.

Most dog toys are destroyed in 5 minutes. Not so the latex monkey. They get destroyed only after about 5 months of rough play, morning, day and night. My dog loves his latex monkey: he runs around flinging it here and there... shaking it all about. He has such a blast with it! He is now onto his 5th or 6th latex monkey. All the previous ones were disemboweled and trashed (even though I let him play with the empty floppy exoskeleton for a while). I am sad that the LARGER version of this monkey has been totally sold out all over the internet, so his current monkey is the small 16" version. I hope that when this is sold out, more latex monkeys will be produced.

We purchased the latex monkey at the recommendation of a friend who said this was her dog's favorite toy and it was indestructible. Unfortunately, our green monkey only lasted 20 minutes and our dog easily chewed off the thumb. Expensive toy to only give 20 minutes of joy. Would not recommend this for strong chewers. Seller experience was great...very speedy.

2 Pcs Non-return Plastic Check Valves for Aquarium Fish Tank Air Pump Tropical Marine Clear

2 Pcs Non-return Plastic Check Valves for Aquarium Fish Tank Air Pump Tropical Marine ClearWay too small to fit on any hose, useless junk valve, the opening is about 1 millimeter big. It's a fraction of the required size to remain on a hose.

Very good quality, I receibed the very fast in a bubble wrap envelope. fits very well on my tubbing and seems to be very long lasting.

Took 1 star off because after I bought this product I realized that there are other packs of these kind of check valves for the same price with 10 pieces.

CaribSea Phos Buster Pro for Fresh or Salt Water, 8-Ounce

CaribSea Phos Buster Pro for Fresh or Salt Water, 8-Ouncebest thing out there, saved my fish. i got tiered of changing filter media to control phosphate level. great product, Too bad petland does not sell it.

It took a lot of work, but I finally discovered that my freshwater algae problems were being caused by high phosphate levels in my tap water. A phosphate medium in my canister filter did not fix the problem, but a blast of PhosBuster Pro once a month is doing the trick. I can't use traditional algae control products as they are hazardous for my Cobalt Lobster. I have no idea why it is so expensive, but it was worth every penny!

Tetra Pond Algae Control

Tetra Pond Algae Control Treats 3000-Gallon, 8.4-Ounce, 250-MlI tried this product to control green scum in the fountain in my back yard. I followed all instructions carefully, but after several applications it appears to have made no dent in the growth of the algae.

My fountain is the back yard at my home in the Phoenix metro area, so daytime temperatures are very high and nighttime temps fall only into the 80s. It might work in less extreme conditions, but it certainly is not doing the job for me.

The only product that has made my pond clear! My pond went from opaque (green) to clear overnight after the first use!

I have used this twice now. Both times it seems to work great right away, but doesn't seem to last as long as I had hoped. Maybe it is just because my pond is in full sun and does not have enough other plants to use up the fish nitrogen. Still a great product for the price.

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Algae Scraper Multi Tool 14 Length

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Algae Scraper Multi Tool 14 LengthI really like this set for cleaning our aquarium. It's nice not to get your hands in the water when scraping the glass or cleaning the sand. My only complaint is that it would be really nice if the scraper rotated 90 degrees to either side. We have a bow-front aquarium and you can only scrap the front glass from side to side. If you try to scrape up and down (the only way this guy will work) you just scratch two lines at either end of the blade. Overall, not a huge deal...

Works great on my tank for the areas my clean up crew doesn't get to. Love the interchangeable heads and the long handle.

Just like I imagined, its rake can be used as a sand flattener, this alone saves me $20~35 for a stainless steel one. The fact that this is a multi-tool is just sweet.

We had a fish tank at work that had been neglected as the owner of the fish got a new job. The tank was disgusting and the scraper in this kit cleaned the glass tank so easily. After cleaning the tank clouds up for a bit but once the filter cleaned things up the tank was sparkling clean. We found the fish and the scraper a new home but if you plan to keep yours a while I do recommend this tool for cleaning your tank.

Acrylic Tank Manufacturing AAT00402 Colony Fw, 8-OunceThis stuff works great! I set up my tank two months ago, poured the correct dosage for colony in and added 7 fish a few hours later. Got 2 electric blue rams the next day and added a little more for a boost and its 2 months later and all my fish are happy and healthy along with my water parameters! I recommend the ATM Freshwater or Saltwater starter kit to save money!

R2 Solutions Moonlight Extreme Dual Aquarium Led LightThe moonlights are perfect as described. The twin pair just comes with a splitter to split the power off the single transformer to both sets of lights. The brightness doesn't seem affected by the splitter.

These aren't water proof, they may handle an occasional drop of water, but thats about it.

I bought this light three years ago but it expired and I had to get a replacement. The moonlight provides excellent nighttime lighting!!!!

Zilla Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb

Zilla 09921 Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb, 75-WattI bought several of these and use them for different reptiles. I have chameleons and a bearded dragon and it works great to keep the temperature up in there cages at night. It is too strong for my green tree python though I need the 60 watt she is in an 18x18x24 cage and it makes it too warm at night. The chameleon is in a 24x24x48 screen cage and it is perfect for it. My bearded dragon is in an 18x18x36 cage and it works great for it.

I gave a 5star rating and the reason is cause of great friendly service. I liked the product because of the fact that it came exactly as described no problems with the product and works really great just like it's suppose to and yes I recommend the product to any buddy that has reptile pets because the product works great for the little price I paid.

This is a truly terrible product. I bought two bulbs, with one as backup for when the first burnt out. The first one burnt out after 2 weeks, which was disappointing. I replaced the bulb with my backup, which proceeded to burn out within 1 day. By contrast, my daytime bulb, which is just a generic incandescent white bulb, is working just fine. Both are housed in the same dual dome housing, so I doubt it's a problem with the housing. I moved the white bulb to the red bulb's socket to make sure, and it worked fine. I don't know exactly what is defective about these bulbs (perhaps an improper vacuum seal), but I would stay away from them.

453 nm Blue Cannon LED Pendant Light with Hanging Kit - 50w

453 nm Blue Cannon LED Pendant Light with Hanging Kit - 50wGreat Sps growth with 2 white, 2 blue over 100g tank about 2.5 feet above water surface (leaves lots of room over the tank). Because the white and blue light comes from different units, the light is not blended togetheryou can see blue or white only in areas of the tank. Very exciting neat look to me, but others think its unnatural looking. You can manipulate this by placement. 4 stars because price is too high IMO.

MR. Aqua Co2 Turbo Diffuser 200

MR. Aqua Co2 Turbo Diffuser 200I just received and installed this in my 10 gallon aquarium. I was a little bit skeptical upon ordering this diffuser especially since there was not much information about it online. I became even more skeptical when the text on the box and instructions were almost completely in Chinese(?). I installed the device in my aquarium below the filter outflow. The installation was straight forward and there was no assembly required. This diffuser is performing exceptionally well, releasing a fine mist of bubbles. The device is not loud, in fact the only sound I hear at all every now and then is when a bubble will enter the device and get hit by the powerhead. The diffuser is relatively small and blends in against my black background rather nicely.

I occasionally bubbles larger than wanted, but when I do I just dial down the pressure a bit. Bubble count around 1?1.5 seconds.

Had to review a YouTube video before I could understand where to insert CO2 hose into device. Instructions in a foreign language with poor illustrations (this is the reason for the 4 stars). Works well with my 40 gallon but w/ high CO2, it's a bit noisy. Overall excellent product, makes super fine bubble mist. Best of any device I've used as a CO2 diffuser. Would highly recommend.

I purchased this for a 29 gallon planted aquarium. I read the reviews and watched the YouTube video so I kinda knew what to expect in terms of installation. The directions are in an Asian language as others have said but the YouTube video is enough to figure it out more or less. When the motor runs, this product is terrific. It almost completely dissolves CO2 bubbles coming in and releases just a bit of a fine mist coming from the outlet holes. It ran quietly and flawlessly BUT only for a few weeks. Its a shame the motor they use is unreliable. Another reviewer had the same issue as I did and I knew this before ordering it but decided to take a chance anyway thinking it might be a one-off. Unfortunately, it appears its just how these are made. It is a shame though because, it really did work well. I would definitely buy a similar model if it came from a reliable manufacturer and I would be willing to pay more if I knew the motor would last for years and not weeks. As is, it was a waste of money for me.

Amazon should add another level for rating NO STAR and this product deserves NO STAR at all. It stopped working after 3 weeks, probably less than that. I only found out about this problem becuase I noticed my drop checker was color blue instead of the usual green. And that is how I found out that that this garbage product has stopped working and it is not so cheap at all.

Fluval EDGE Pre-Filter Sponge

Fluval EDGE Pre-Filter SpongeA lot of people make homemade prefilters, but many of them just look like crap. The Fluval Edge looks great, fits perfectly, does the job well, and is only about $3 or so, depending who you buy it from.

UPDATE: I am not using this prefilter in my main tank anymore. It is great for a fry tank or a shrimp tank where you don't want them to be sucked into the intake, but it just reduces suction and flow too much. Large debris particles were not being removed from the water. I am now using some mesh from a media bag, secured with some rubber bands, which improves flow and will still keep even my small Tetras from being sucked up.

As a fishkeeper, I have quite a few guppies that are constantly reproducing, which in the past has led me to purchase a sponge filter that takes up quite a bit of room in my tank.

The small size of the fry also forced me to turn off the hob filter that I was using at the time, in order to prevent guppy fry from being sucked into its intake.

Then I saw these Fluval Edge prefilters online, remembered reading that the Fluval Edge 6 gallon aquarium uses an Aquaclear 20 filter, and decided to purchase a few of these prefilters to install on my guppy tanks.

They have worked out extremely well, reducing the amount of detrius in my Aquaclear filters, while being much quicker to clean.

You simply slip the prefilter off the intake of the Aquaclear filter, rinse it under some filtered water, and reinstall it. The entire process takes less than a minute.

As such, this author highly recommends the Fluval Edge prefilter for use on the aforementioned Aquaclear hob filters.

Buy Fluval EDGE Pre-Filter Sponge Now

The pre-filter sponge is useful when you are breeding small shrimp and fish, as this will stop them from being sucked into your filter.

The foam flows very well as long as it is properly maintained. I find that I need to rinse out the foam because it collects a lot of fine particles especially after a water change where debris in the gravel gets kicked up into the water. I would not recommend this if you are not prepared to rinse out the sponge regularly

Having this sponge on helps keep the main filter pad from getting dirty as fast, and is simple to rinse. I enjoy the reduced costs/wastes associated with replacing a dirty filter pad

I kinda messed up on this one, save some cash and get the three pack for 50 cents more! I accidentally clicked on the single and got this one. Imagine my dissapointment when I opened my package and saw only one... $3.49 for this little prefilter is rediculously expensive, its just a small piece of foam for god's sake (thats the main reason I gave this 3 stars)! It is really really tiny (this is the other reason I gave it 3 stars), I expected it to be a little bigger well much bigger. But if this is the size your looking for it is a good product and fits well on smaller HOB filters with a 1 inch lift tube. At least the box was kinda nice for $3.59... Outrageous!

Underwater Galleries AUG5502 Sea Cave, Medium

Underwater Galleries AUG5502 Sea Cave, MediumPurchased the medium size sea caves for my mbuna cichlid tank. I wanted to have caves with more than one opening so my cichlids could swim through them without being trapped inside by another cichlid. I am so pleased with the caves as they have 3 openings each and stack quite well. I have two rows with heavy rocks to anchor them, don't want the fish to move them around as cichlids can be quite roudy. I purchased them because they are lightweight, easy to re-arrange and do not take up much water volume. They also look realistic, are good quality and have three available sizes. I am truly pleased with my purchase and so are my fish.

I purchased three of these. Unfortunately only one made it. Two where broken into ten pieces. But the one that did make it my fish love. The cory catfish have a blast in it. So do the albino algae eaters. Perfect size and goes well with any decor in tank.

Pink Parrot Tri to Fun Swing, Small to Medium

Pink Parrot Tri to Fun Swing, Small to MediumI bought a flight cage (32x21x35) for 6 parakeets and was looking for something that had plenty of room and they could use together and this is PERFECT! They use it all day long and I've hung a bell from the center to about half way down for them to play with. It swings back and forth as they land and fly away which adds to the the natural effect of the real tree wood. They love to chew on it. It hangs a little longer than stated, otherwise size is as described. The price is a bargin compared to other big swings. I truly could not have asked for a better toy for our flock!

Marina Betta Kit Decorative Gravel, Black

Marina Betta Kit Decorative Gravel, BlackThe picture may allude to the idea that these are quite large bags. I didn't notice the description stated 8.5 ounces so I was a little surprised how small the bag was, but that's at no fault of the seller. The rocks look great in the tank; the only very slight annoyance was how long it took to clean them before placing them in the tank. It took a good 15 minutes to wash and rinse (repeat about 10 times) before the water was clear enough for my satisfaction. Overall, I will purchase more when needed.

My fish got so tired of all the plain old rocks in his tank. They're "too basic" he said, "they look like all the other aquarium rocks" he lamented. I didn't know what to do. He became more and more despondent as the days and weeks went on. I gave him a book on Fung Shui to see if it would cheer him up. I figured he could find some way to reach inner-peace with his aquarium if only he could explore his deeper fish desires. Finally one day he declared the solution to all his problems was known to him.

It would be in creating a new home space consisting of only black and white elements. That way, he explained, everything happening outside his tank... the television, the people walking by, the birds flying by the living room window would be explosions of rich colorful life not marred by the fake rocks currently in his tank. Life for him would be one rich palette happening all around him. Dubious about whether or not this would really work or if it would become one more thing my fish became bored with in the weeks or months ahead I pulled out my credit card and ordered him these rocks. "You'll see" he told me, "this is the start of a brand new life... for the both of us!".

Just two days later the new rocks arrived and I placed them in his tank. Ever since then he has taken to writing poetry, practicing his back flips and I never hear a single complaint. Every once in awhile, with a smug look on his face, he'll talk about how all the other fish in the neighborhood are jealous of his remodel. Had I known these black rocks were the solution to all of our problems I would have purchased them months ago.

I read other peoples' reviews, looked up how much the weight is, and still its a really small bag of rocks. Its like the size of three burger patties stacked on top of one another. I have a 10 gal with a little under 20 lbs of substrate and this just peppers the surface. Looks cool but still less than i thought. It is a bag of rocks though.

You can get a bag, of the same gravel, from walmart, that is 5 times the size, for the same price. It's a TINY bag of gravel. This product is for the smallest fishbowls, and/or making your own colored gravel assortments. I mixed mine in with the big bag of gravel that I got from walmart and it looks alright. I have a 5 gallon tank, and the gravel from walmart was just nearly enough to cover the bottom, but not enough to hold down the plants. This helped a little, but I'm sorely disappointed in myself for spending money on this.

Tetra Anti-Algae Blocks for fountains, 6-Block

Tetra Anti-Algae Blocks for fountains, 6-BlockThe blocks kept the algae away for about two weeks in a clean fountain, but after than, even though I followed directions, the algae formed. They may have kept it at bay a week or two longer than other products, but in the end, I've found nothing to deal with algae effectively in residential fountains.

I have tried several products to take care of algae build-up in our fountain and nothing works as well as these blocks! One block keeps it clean for weeks and by regularly putting them in, the fountain stays algae free for months!! I highly recommend them.

Hydro II Sponge Pro Filter - Up to 20 gallons

Hydro II Sponge Pro Filter - Up to 20 gallonsMost aquarium filters now use a motor to force water through some kind of filter pad which must be replaced at intervals. However, before there were reliably sealed electric motors, most home aquariums moved water using the "airlift" principle, in which a rising column of bubbles pulled water through the filtering material. This is an elegant and just about failsafe method. Debris in the tank cannot ever jam the external air pump which feeds the filter, and if electricity is interrupted, the filter cannot lose siphon, it simply starts bubbling again when power is restored to the air pump. Many fish love to play in the rising stream of bubbles.

Hydro Sponge filters, first marketed in the 1990's, are a more recent application of the airlift. Hydro Sponge II is intended for aquariums up to 20 gallons. Made of dense, strong plastic with a weighted base which holds the sponge up away from the aquarium bottom, they dismantle easily for cleaning of the sponge. The pores within the sponge provides an enormous surface area for colonization by beneficial bacteria providing very thorough biological filtration. They can be powered by an air pump with or without an airstone (using an airstone will give finer bubbles and make less noise), or with an electric powerhead for those with larger tanks or who simply feel the need for more energetic water movement.

It is difficult to imagine such a simple device working well. Surprisingly, they are excellent, and can be used as the only filter in the tank for many applications. I've used them on tanks sized from 10 gallons up to 75 gallons, always with good results. The local fish store where I shop has an expensive trickle filter for their dozens of tanks, and every single freshwater tank also has a Hyrdo Sponge or similar sponge filter as well. Apparantly the sponge is doing something which the trickle filter doesn't?

Maintainence is as simple as the filter. When you perform your periodic aquarium water change, (20% every week) save some of the old water in a bucket. Separate the top and bottom parts of the filter and remove the sponge from the tank. Squeeze it out in the bucket. See all the stuff which the sponge removed from the water? Reinstall the sponge and refill your tank. Go have dinner with the money you saved not purchasing replacement filter cartridges.

In sum, a clever and elegantly simple device which works very well.

I cannot understand why this product is so difficult to find in local big-box pet supply stores, except that it keeps you from returning to purchase replacement filters on a monthly basis, which incidentally can become quite expensive over time. A great money saving filter that works better than more expensive "power-filter" units you can buy off the shelf.

If you do a little online research you may find that the combination of this type of filter with a "power head" aerator will not only keep your aquarium cleaner and help your fish stay healthier, but it will also save you time and money as a result of its simple design. By merely rinsing the filter periodically, you will keep your aquarium cleaner without all the hassles of draining your aquarium regularly or buying replacement charcoal filter bags as is the case with popular "power filters" found in most big-box stores.

I have a small 10 gallon tank that I retrofitted with some 1 1/4" hose to make the Hydro II sponge filter (20 gal) fit properly. I should have bought the 10 gallon version that is not quite as tall. Now my tank stays cleaner, longer, and I am pleased not to have to drain my aquarium every ten days because of "power-filter" clogs or failure.

Best part is that it's wash and go and saves my HOB's filter from getting clogged due to the sponges huge surface area.
