Como Plastic Life-Like Floating Ornamental Fish Aquarium Ornament 5 Pieces

If you are looking for replacement fish that bob around in fake aquariums these are it. After much looking and buying the wrong thing I took a chance on these.

Happily these are the same fish in the fake aquariums.

Tetra Half Moon Aquarium Kit, 10-Gallon

I used to own a number of tanks and my dad bred fish when we were growing up, so we had as many as 30 tanks in our house at once. I finally convinced my wife to get a tank for our children, which we wanted to fit on their tall dresser in their bedroom. The regular rectangular shaped 10 gallon was a little too big, so we went with the half moon. We have had this one up for just over a week now.

Pros:

Small foot print so it fit onto a narrow/ tall dresser

Super quiet filter, perfect for the kids bedroom.

I like that it is taller than a normal 10 gallon so the plants can grow taller.

The filter seems to pump plenty of water for the tank. You can really see the water movement and if the fish don't eat quickly, some of the food will get sucked into the filter within just a few minutes. The water has been crystal clear.

Cons:

I don't like that they taped things to the inside of the tank when they shipped it. You don't want to use soap or goo gone inside a tank so that you don't kill the fish and it was a bear to clean off the glue with a paper towel.

Because the tank is narrow and tall, you have less surface area, so it technically will hold less fish than a regular 10 gallon tank

The half moon distorts the fish at certain angles and you have to move around to see the corners

Did not come with net or glass scraper

We are happy with the tank and based on our requirements, it fit our needs. The kids love the tank and we have 6 fish in it so far, 3 midnight tetras, 1 glofish and 2 molly's. We plan to add a cat and possibly a siamese fighter, but the number of fish will definitely be maxed at that point.

I just set up this tank today and immediately noticed the poor quality filter that came with this aquarium. I don't like the idea of an open top on the filter plus there are so many better filters on the market that will fit this tank. I am also not crazy about the provided top. It's just a piece of plastic that sits loosely on top of the tank with a hole in the front for feeding and two holes in the back for the heater and filter. They should have made this a hinged lid instead as there is a chance fish will jump out. Poor design! However, the tank looks beautiful and with a few minor adjustments, it will be a nice addition to my office. If you do decide to add a better filter, use the AquaClear 20. It's fantastic and will keep the aquarium in much better shape than the provided filter. Fits perfectly. Just remove the cut out portion of the back of the lid and the AquaClear fits beautifully. The AquaClear has a lid so the water is not exposed and requires very little maintenance.

Buy Tetra Half Moon Aquarium Kit, 10-Gallon Now

We bought this tank today and after setting it up, we absolutely love it. I wanted an elegant/stylish tank, and that is exactly what I got.

Things that I love about the tank:

1. Shape the half moon shape is great for viewing your fish, plus, it is a nice change from traditional rectangular fish tanks

2. The filter is very quiet

3. The filter replacements are not very expensive (I looked them up after purchasing the tank)

4. The LED light is bright and does not require much energy

5. The heater can be placed almost anywhere in the tank, allowing you to hide it behind plants or water features.

Things to note:

1. While I love the light, the tank that is the next size up comes with a day/night LED light feature which allows you to use one light for both day and night, instead of purchasing a separate night-time light if you want to view your tank during off hours without stressing your fish out.

2. The filter does not have a lid, so it is a little unfinished looking if you are standing directly over the tank

3. I wish the instructions would have been a little more visual and less technical. We wanted to get the tank set up quickly, and had to stop for each item and read the long instruction sheets.

While we've only had the tank and set up for one day, we absolutely love it. It is a stunning feature in our home.

For a total of about six weeks, this was an attractive and enjoyable aquarium.

I bought this kit looking for a decorative aquarium to hold about five fresh water fancy goldfish. The tall tank with its clear lid has a lot of eye appeal: the fish and contents are much more visible than in more conventional tanks with a dark rim or a hood obstructing the upper portion. For a ten gallon tank, it has a lot of viewing area.

While the filter is nothing fancy, it does the job well provided that the tank is kept properly filled and the filter's waterfall edge is positioned not too far above the waterline. Positioned like this the system is admirably quiet, but if either the fill level is off or the filter is improperly positioned, you will experience splashing and quicker evaporation losses. It is not a bubbler-type system, so if you need to have a lot of air injected into the water you'll want a different pump/filter.

I was happy with my aquarium for aboout five days when I noticed it was leaking at the bottom left corner. I returned it and received an immediate replacement. This worked fine until, about five weeks later, I awoke to a significantly lower water level in the tank, and a correspondingly upsetting puddle on my stand and floor. I was willing to accept the first failure as a fluke, but after the second tank's failure I gave up on this item and bought another manufacturer's product.

After dissassembling the failed tank I noticed that the silicone sealant between the front curved glass, the flat glass backplate, and the plastic base appeared to have been sloppily applied in several places, including at least one place where the leaks occurred. There were a couple of other spots where upon close inspection I could see voids or finger grooves. Maybe my two tanks were made on the same day by the same inexperienced or careless assembler, and/or checked by the same indifferent inspector. Whatever the cause, poor quality control is what soured me on this product. If you really like this tank's looks in spite of its problems, I recommend you consider applying extra sealant to the seams along the inside of the base and hopefully avoid the issues I experienced.

Something with the curve of the glass and sudden light changes drives fish to jump out! I've had this tank for a year and a half and have lost close to 20 fish. I had 1 type in there and after 5-6 jumped, I decided to move it and stock it with different fish. Same results, very upsetting to find your favorite fish dried up behind the tank/stand. Platies, Guppies, Cories, ...doesn't seem to matter, they all jump. Stay away from this tank or completely cover with saran wrap or plexiglass cut to perfect size. This will keep your fish alive, but I don't think they will be very happy.

Zilla 09930 Night Black Heat Incandescent Spot Bulb, 100-Watt

I have had a lizard for about 4 years now and the only heat source that she will sleep with is this bulb. Well i ordered it from this seller on amazon and it arrived quickly, except it quickly ceased functioning, which is rare for these bulbs. Well i emailed the seller and they sent a new one 2 day shipping for me and didn't even require i send the old one back, saving me some money on postage or the hassle of sending it out. I can honestly say this seller is amazing and the product is great as well.

at least this one stayed on for a couple of days. The last one burned out imediatley. Still not long enough though.

I have bought numerous prodects for Zilla the past year, however, these keep going out on me within 2-5 weeks of purchase. These products are very expensive and it seems Zilla is making these very cheaply now. This is happening with both the bulbs I buy from Amazon and local stores. They are nice because they are not bright like other night/black bulbs, but it doesn't seem to be worth the hassle anymore. And I have read that this is happening to other people more this year too, so it doesn't seem to be anything I'm doing or using and I didn't have a problem in the past with them.

External / Hang On Plastic Aquarium Fish Breeding Box Satellite L (new)

Its about the biggest hang on breeder of any kind that I have seen. You could subdivide it into three compartments, but I wouldn't they are too small for an adult 2"to 3" fish to really be in. The day that I received this in the mail, I put a pregnant molly fish in it. The next day, I had 24 live fry, and the mother was swimming comfortably in it. I would give this a five star rating except for two faults. 1. One tiny plastic piece that locates the breeder to the tank was missing (its not critical, I have one of the two pieces and it seems alright, but for best operation you want both) and the other fault, is that when I attached my air pump to it and turned it on, the bubbles make quite a racket. But it provides plenty of aeration to the fry, and has these neat little gates so that no one gets pulled over the return water gate into the main tank. I will probably try a more powerful air pump and see if that quiets things down, or maybe take off the nozzle that directs water flow into the breeder. If I needed a second breeder tank, I'd take this over net breeders, or the suction cup breeders with no hesitation (I've tried both, and lost all or most of the fry, the net breeders rip too easily, and have other problems, and the plastic ones with suction cups the vent holes are too large for small fry). Solid 4 stars here.

These are great. Much cheaper than purchasing in the smaller packs. I ordered 2 boxes and one of them even came with a new frame. Good quality. I just wish they had more carbon in them, but none of them do.

These filters are a good system and easy to replace the filters. Far more inexpensive than some. Would recommend to anyone.

Aquatop IPF-302 Aquarium Internal Filter

This thing is small. It is rated as a 40 gallon, in tank filter. There is only enough room for a little bit of media, and the only thing included is a thin strip of black sponge, the more porous kind for housing bio bacteria. But that's it. It will not hold Purigen in the bag, nor does it come with regular floss or carbon. You could add carbon to it in loose form. At least add some small bio-balls, or folded up filter floss. It would not be sufficient as your only method of filtration on a 40 gallon tank. Really, on any tank, as it is. However, it is quiet and produces a good outflow. The little suction cups work well, also. I'm using it in my 75 gallon tank as extra filtration, but mainly to agitate the surface. (I am using the suction cups to hold it on, almost at the bottom of the tank, and have the outflow pointing up) It has a few different attachments so you can point the outflow however you like. There is an attachment to attach it to an air pump also. One thing that is dumb: THERE ARE NO INTRUCTIONS. Luckily it's basic and I've set up and tweaked filters for many years. If you're looking for a cheap filter, spend the extra $5-$10 and get something else (BIGGER) from a bigger named company. Do not use this as your only means of filtration, because it is not large enough to hold the proper material for adequate filtration. You need (1) Aquarium floss or a sponge to collect debris that's floating in the water (2) Something porous to allow beneficial bacteria to grow on (VERY IMPORTANT-Google 'Nitrogen Cycle') (3) Possibly carbon, to purify your water. (You have to change it regularly or it starts to pollute your tank) So it's not big enough to house all that...but it is excellent to move water (avoiding "dead spots") and help oxygenate the tank (by agitating the surface). Also cheaper and quieter than a power-head setup, and just as effective.

These were a great design very sturdy and ideal for any filter system for a tank or pond. Highly recommended

They came in a black mesh bag which I am using to contain them in my filter. I just put them in today. I'll update my review again after they have been in there for about a month to let you know what I think of them them. But so far, so good. And the price was a great deal!

Cat Mate Wall Liner

This doesn't fit the Cat Mate Electromagnetic Cat Flap. The liners connect to each other, but to neither side of the Cat Mate door. Hence you are left gluing and/or cutting to try to make a fit. Neither is acceptable. I had expected to get a liner which slid over the door opening to create a nice fit, but that's not at all what this product is. (Granted the product description does say this product isn't designed to fit the style of Cat Mate door I bought, but Cat Mate doesn't sell such a product.)

With one or more installed, it's virtually impossible to reach the control knob of the Electronic Cat Mate Door. They need to create a the liner the same size as the whole Cat Mate Door (not just the opening flap); or one with a way to control the knob after installation. Furthermore, instead of instructing the user to cut it down to size with a saw and use glue, there should be several small sections so each can connect together to form whatever length liner is required.

All-in-all, this is just a poorly designed, over-priced product. I love my Cat Mate Door and have owned two over the years, but this thing is crummy by comparison. If you have the capability to install the pet door in an outside wall, you surely have the talent to put together something a whole lot better than what this product provides.

***UPDATE***

After doing a whole lot of cutting, filing and gluing, I managed to make this liner work (sort of). It falls far short of what I had expected, but I did manage to get it to work. However I still stand by my 1-star rating due to the poor design and price. IMO, $10 per liner is a ridiculous price for a small piece of rectangular plastic, especially when you'll need to buy two of them to fit through a typical outside wall, then need to cut them down to size for a proper fit for the product this was supposed to be designed for.

Very poor . I have installed the cat mate lockable door through my outside wall. The wall liner doesnt match up with the two components. The inside frame is too big for the liner. Don,t waste your money

Buy Cat Mate Wall Liner Now

Besides the fact that we have to prop it open for the cat (she refuses to go through it open unless she's IN the laundry room and needs to get OUT), this has worked perfectly. We put this in the wall between our family room and laundry room in order for her to access the litter box. Most cats would be able to open the door, but I have a calico who only does what SHE wants, and that is NOT going through a cat door.

NOTE: I do recommend that you measure the depth of your wall to make sure you don't need this extra piece that fits between the two walls. Our wall is is thinner than most, and we needed a 1/4 inch extra, even with this piece to fit between the two (we filled it in with white duct tape, but I do not recommend this option. I am too cheap to order another extra piece).

Pros: looks so much nicer and easier to clean than white duct tape

Cons: extra money for 1/4 inch

Fluval Suction Cups, (4) 4x12 mm and clips, (8) 4x14 mm (03, 04 and 05 Series)

These are really good suction cups......having had bad ones I can really appreciate these.

They've been in a fresh water tank now for several years (holding a Fluval E electronic heater on a side wall) and they seem as good as the day they first went in!

They're not "deteriorating"........when I need to slide the heater along the glass it "breaks loose" easily and slides while the cups retain their suction, etc.

I'll be happy when I have an extra set, sometimes it's the "little things" that are really important.

I really wouldn't want any other brand, etc., this Company REALLY knows aquarium equipment.

They work well, do not seem like they are going to get hard and stop working like so many others.

I actually use these to hold air lines in place. I have bought the regular air line clips and suction cups and they are stop working a few weeks due to cheap plastic.

Como 9 3/10" Aquarium Tank Lifelike Lotus Flower Plastic Water Plant Decor Green Pink

I bought 2 of these for my 50 gallon tank, it shipped quickly and arrived sooner than expected. It was squished and bent from packaging, but can easily be manipulated back into shape. It has a heavy base, making it easy to place. The flower itself is wonderful, I love how it looks underwater. The pale pink is a nice touch to a natural looking aquarium. My only complaint is that one of stems had come apart from the base and slid up off the wire, but a little fish-safe glue fixed that. Will buy again.

Penn Plax Baby Hide-Out Breading Grass for Aquarium

I have these for all three of my tanks. You can place them in the grass or turn them upside down and they float on the top of the water.

I have mine floating. Not only do my fish babies find their way into them for protection but it gives cover to the rest of the fish in the tank. When they float and babies are in them, it is easier to catch the babies and/or feed them. I have a tank just for babies so I love how easy it is to put my net under the floating grass and lift the grass to get the babies quickly.

It works ok, except apparently I have a very good hunter in my betta......he has managed to eat all of my babies anyway, it would probably work much better if I took him out of the tank.

Coralife 05692 Pure-Flo II 50-Gallon Per Day 4 Stage RO/DI System

I have this RO filter and it works great. It should be noted that the picture (which has actually since been updated) showed, and the description mentions (still does), a pump which this unit DOES NOT have. Amazon, as always, was outstanding in their customer service when I called to advise of the lack of pump as described/pictured. They actually sent me a new one (actually OVERNIGHTED it to me!) and said "if new one still doesn't meet your expectations, we'll issue a refund". I LOVE Amazon!!! The new one arrived (which I promptly returned unopened) also with no pump. Further investigation revealed that Aqueon does make a model with a pump but the one for sale on Amazon is NOT that model. The one with the pump regularly sells at various web sites for $250 and up while this model (76002 I believe?) also regularly sells at various web sites for anywhere from $10-$80 more than what Amazon sells it for. Since the pump-less model is working fine for my needs and due to the fact that the $135 price at Amazon was still way better than I was going to get it for anywhere else, I opted to keep the original. So in summary:

RO filter is awesome.

Amazon is awesome.

This unit does not have a pump but works as advertised (get a gallon of 100% pure as in measured TDS of 0 water in about 30 minutes).

I have been using this product for 3 weeks. So far, I've made about 100 gallons of RO/DI water for my marine aquarium, and my only regret is not purchasing an DR/DI filter years ago. I just hook it up to my kitchen sink faucet. There was no need for crazy plumbing projects. I am a little bit concerned about the longevity of the filtering system. The initial batch came out at about 8 parts-per-million total-dissolved solids (ppm TDS), but I'm already up to 15 ppm. However, this is still a pretty low TDS, and I might even be contaminating it just by measuring or something, so I'm not too concerned yet. I do have a couple tips that might make your choice-of-purchase or set-up easier.

1) Unless you plan on installing some kind holding tank and auto-shut off, this filter takes time. Remember, 50 gallons per day is only about 2 gallons per hour. If you don't think you have the patience for that, consider upgrading to a higher GPD.

2) I read some reviews of RO filters that costumers were unhappy because the filtered water was acidic and/or made metal parts rust very quickly. This is not a flaw in the filter this means it's working. RO/DI water has much less dissolved materials than most tap water. Without getting into the chemistry, this means that (1) when the water come to equilibration with the carbon dioxide in the air, it will be acidic, and (2) it will tend to oxidize (rust) metals that it comes in contact with.I use my filtered water to make home-made soda and ice cubes, but I think drinking the RO water straight is pretty gross it just tastes awful to me. I've also heard it can be unhealthy, but I don't have much info on that.

3) This filter works under rather high pressure, so there is a good chance that connections will leak. When you are assembling it, I recommend getting some teflon thread tape from the plumbing section of your hardware store. Wrap the tape tightly 2-3 times around the threads before fitting the connections to tighten everything up an prevent leaks.

4) I had trouble installing the RO cartridge. The cartridge housing is not see-through, so I couldn't tell if I was installing it correctly or not. I could not tell if it was assembled correctly until I had it completely assembled to test it. But you should be able to tell if it is working by the amount of water it is producing; when working correctly, you should be producing clean water at only a trickle (~50 GPD). If you set up the filter and are getting a high flow from the product [blue] tube, you can probably assume the RO cartridge is not installed correctly. (Also, you can check the TDS if you have a meter.) It took me about four tries to get the RO cartridge installed correctly. The thing was, it needed to be pushed very hard into the fitting. The resistance was so high that I was afraid to break it.

5) Many of the fitting on the unit come pre-assembled. A couple of connections on my unit initially leaked just a bit. You may need to unscrew them, wrap some teflon tape around the threads and reinstall. After I took the time to do that, my unit was 100% leak-free.

6) The unit comes with an adapter that should allow you to use it with a standard sink, but installing the adapter takes a few minutes or more, and is kind of a hassle. Also, the adapter is a pretty cheap plastic, so it's prone to leaking and liable to get chewed up if you're not careful installing it every time. I alleviated this issue my permanently replacing the head of my sink faucet with one that I can directly screw the filter on to; this only cost about $3. I did not have to replace the whole faucet, but the very end has outside threads like a garden-hose connection. This has made connecting and disconnecting the filter much more convenient.

Also, be aware that if you have a decorative sink faucet, the adapter might not work. You might have to be creative in installation. I live in an apartment, so I can't do any really involved plumbing projects; however, if I were in a house, I think it would be worth the effort to set the filter up with a holding tank and float valve, so that I there is always an available supply of filtered water.

7) I also purchased TDS meter (HM Digital TDS-EZ Water Quality TDS Tester), and was glad that I did. It is very convenient to be able to test and see how your unit is working. My tap water comes out around 500 ppm. My filtered water has been coming out between 5 and 15 ppm. Since I can check the TDS any time I want, it will be much easier to figure out when my filter needs to be back-washed or replaced.

Purchased this item a few months after I had gotten my tank. In just the month since I purchased this machine the fish, corals and invertebrates in my tank seem healthier and happier.

Well I've been running this unit for about 6 months now. I've probably made about 700 gallons of water. I have to say, it's a bit concerning of how long it takes to reach sub 10ppm now. I would love to have 0ppm but this unit hasn't done that since the first week of operation. I'm doing good if I can get it down to 6 after about an hour of operation.

This unit is okay for the cost, just don't expect it to be awesome.

The collar was exactly what I wanted. Light weight, no chain links to make noise, yet sturdy enough. I went to several pet stores and could not find the nylon choke or the 18" size. As always, checked with Amazon. Thank you.

I got this for my pit who is a little bit of a brat when it comes for corrections. Her metal collar never seemed to stay where I needed it to. Especially when i was training other dogs along with her. I heard from another trainer that the nylon was the best as far a good correction collar.

Elite Submersible Preset Heater

My old heater that came with the tank was looking bad, covered with calcium from our Texas hardwater. I found this heater at a local pet store for about $20. It was one of the least expensive ones I had found. Now I think I know why. I swapped the heaters out and it seemed to be working fine. A couple of days after installing it, it kept the temp where I usually have it, around 80 degrees. Another couple of days pass and I notice the temp had dropped down to about 78. I figured maybe the heater ran a little cooler than what you set it at, so I bumped it up to about 82. The light NEVER went off and the temp NEVER went back up. I cranked it up to 86 and got the same results. This POS heater stopped heating after barely a week!? If the store doesn't take it back, according to the heater packaging I have to pay to ship it to them PLUS pay another $4 on top of that. Suddenly the $20 heater could wind up costing $30. Seems I should have just paid a little more for ANOTHER brand in the first place. Stay away from these CHEAP aquarium heaters.

I have had this heater (Elite Submersible Preset Heater, 100 Watts) in my aquarium for a few days now. It replaced a 50W immersible heater that sat over the rim of my 20 gallon aquarium. The old heater had to be adjusted in winter, but did not have any markings to identify what the thermostat's temperature was actually set on. My old heater is well over 6 years old and it just had a hard time keeping up (I really needed a bigger heater).

This heater was easy to install. The suction cups do move about easy on the aquarium glass, which makes positioning the heater easy. The heater must be installed below the rim of the tank, so even though it has a min water level, it cannot be set to have the adjustment knob above the water line in a filled to the top aquarium. This is really no big deal as it is fully submersible. The min water level is there for those that keep different aquarium setups in order to keep the heater in the proper water depth.

The knob for adjusting the temperature setting is stiff to turn. This is a big plus as it will keep fish from bumping the knob and causing temperature settings to change.

I have the heater set at 76°F. My thermometer shows a temperature of 75°F. I would say this is a very accurate aquarium heater. The heater does an excellent job of keeping the temperature constant. Room temperatures fluctuate from 65°F to 70°F depending on when we are home or sleeping. My old heater with a room temperature of 65°F could not bring the temperature above 72°F. The Hagen Elite Submersible Preset 100 Watt heater kept my aquarium at the 75°F mark easy when the room temperature was 65°F.

Overall very happy with the heater. Does an excellent job and is within 1° of the actual 76°F setting on the heater (my thermometer could also be off by +/1°F).

I would recommend this heater to others and will have no hesitation buying another when needed.

Another big plus is it has a lifetime warranty.

Update: 12-11-2011 Still holding temperature at 75°F.

This heater costs almost $10 more at my local fish supply store.

Nice heater, works fine, looks alright. Suction cups tend to loosen up though. Keep it out of a bubble curtain or it heats up too much. Nice lifetime warranty.

Update: Nov 2012 it started losing its ability to heat. So I picked it up out of the water to see if it was still working and it cracked and broke from pulling it out and quickly putting it back in.

I bought this heater from my LFS because it looked nice, was the correct wattage, and was the cheapest out of most of them on the rack at $26.95 USD. When I brought it home and set it up in my cycling 55 gallon (bought the 200w version), I saw that the temperature dial was very easy to read, so I thought, "Great!" I was wrong. I set it on 76 degrees F, as I figured my T5 lights would give off a bit of heat, along with the recent heatwave my city has been going through this week. I assumed it would go up to perhaps 80F, which was fine because I don't have any fish in it right now, just plants. It heated up the water quickly (about 2 hours) and stood at a steady 76-78 F range, which is ideal for my tropical fish.

When I woke up the next day, I saw that the thermometer read 81 degrees F, and the red light which indicates the heater is on was shining. My dial had not moved and still said that it should be 76, but it wasn't. It was 81 and climbing with the heater light on. I quickly turned off the lighting and turned on the AC, as well as turned down the heater. It still reads about 80, and the light comes on sometimes even at the set temperature of 72F.

All in all, I give this heater 2 stars. It heated my aquarium up quickly, has a sleek black design, but the temperature is just too inaccurate. I suppose I'll have to keep it in my aquarium for now, but as soon as I get a chance, I will be switching it out for something else.

It does its job which is heating the aquarium but does not heat to the tempeture it's set on. I set mines to 79 degrees (f) and I use more then one temperure reader and both reads 85.1. To me thata big difference and I had this only for a month, I think thats why a couple of my toddler fish past out of the blue. My tank is an ok size it's only a 29 gallon, maybe for this heater you neen a bigger tank size (idk). So be careful on this heater if your tank is not that big. I suggest to buy this if you have an aquarium bigger then mine, it might work out better for you.
