CUR AQUACHEF AUTO FISH FEEDER
Using the feeder with chips, a bit more solid than the flakes, it works flawlessly. The chips don't collect moisture like the flakes do, and the fish couldn't be happier.

Midwest Tropical 675 Square Aquarium Coffee Table
The acrylic tank is square but once filled with water the sides protrude outwards, losing its shape, making it look much less square than when there is no water in it. Having a glass tank would have solved this problem. Also the acrylic is very vulnerable to scratches. When removing the rocks to clean it you must be VERY careful. If you scratch the sides of the tank, it will look cloudy and visibility will be permanently decreased. Had it been glass, this wouldn't have been a problem.
Another thing, you must not use a heater otherwise the entire top will be foggy and you will not be able to see inside the tank. If you aerate the water or cause motion in the water, you will find condensation underneath the glass top and it will bubble up and start dripping into the tank again. If you use the included carbon filter you will also have a cord running across the room to the nearest outlet. A light fits discreetly underneath the tank and the rocks do a good job of dispersing the light quite evenly, however you've got another cord. There is about a 6" opening in the center of one of the black bottomed sides to easily slide in the light and remove it when necessary. The glass top is well made.
Overall it's a beautiful piece, but it doesn't work for everyone.This product improved my life vastly. Before purchasing the Midwest Tropical 675 Square Aquarium Coffee Table, I had serious problems melding my twin love of coffee tables and fish. Like most men, I tried making a coffee table out of a taxidermied Mahi-Mahi, and like most men I failed.

TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6
Buy TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6 Now
Bigger than it seems in the picture and its great for baby to young turtles, but would not be recommended for a full grown turtle. Shipping was super fast and it came out great.Read Best Reviews of TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6 Here
This is not a suitable turtle habitat. Popular pet turtles, like Red Eared Sliders, require basking docks and light and a UVB bulb, not to mention 10 gallons per inch and powerful filtration. This would only work with modification and frequent water changes. Do not subject a living creature to this environment.Want TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6 Discount?
This was exactly what my turtle needed.....plenty of space to swim and explore. The built in holder for the filter is great..Between running the filter at night( turtle should not be in it at time), and scooping water out and replacing it daily, the water stays clean and odor free....considering I have a musk turtle..that is saying something. Would recommend this to any one with a small turtle who needs room to grow. Vendor sent item quickly and it arrived in fine shape.

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Bully Stick Dog Treat, 4-Pack
I cut 9" sticks in half with a Dremmel, so they last longer. If you're going to cut them, though, be sure to do it outside. I cut one with a Dremmel cutter in the house and it was the worst.stench.ever. Also, don't take them outside in warm weather. They attract flies like crazy!
All that aside, our little shark of a GSD pup loves bully sticks! Inch for inch, this pack is one of the best deals out there. And it's cheaper than replacing our carpeting and woodwork. Puppies *WILL* chew. It is our responsibility as dog owners to give them something safe and fun to express their natural urge to chew. And bully sticks are among our pup's favorites.Our dog is a miniature dachshund but chewed through these a few days each. My biggest issue was they reeked of rotting flesh. I could smell them from over 5 feet away. Dog still loved them though.

Nano CO2 Diffuser - Glass Reactor for Aquarium Plants
Buy Nano CO2 Diffuser - Glass Reactor for Aquarium Plants Now
The seller seems to have run out of suction cups. But the diffuser works great. It is also very small, the diameter of the ceramic disk is less than an inch and its about 3 inches tall, it looks great on my 10 gallon planted aquarium. This diffuser is 10 times better than any air stone and probably needs 10 times the pressure in order to work properly.EDIT: The ceramic disc in this nano diffuser will get clogged over time if you don't have a gas separator (assuming you have a DIY CO2 system; personally I wouldn't recommend having a gas separator since many of the pressure is lost in there). I recommend using hydrogen peroxide to clean it; pull it out and soak the diffuser in hydrogen peroxide. It is not harmful to the fish nor will it change the water chemistry of your tank once you put it back. You can rinse off the excess hydrogen peroxide if you want but it is not necessary.

I really liked this diffuser while it was working. But it takes less than a day when the pressure runs out for it to get clogged. Unclogging is as simple as drying it out and popping it in the oven for a short amount of time but one day the stem broke when I was removing the tubing. For 11 bucks, its annoyingly fragile, and in the end I was left searching for a more reliable product.Want Nano CO2 Diffuser - Glass Reactor for Aquarium Plants Discount?
It may have taken a little while to receive this item. It came from Singapore so it was no wonder that it took about a week and a half to get here. All that aside, this little wonder is perfect. It hardly takes up any space in my 10 gallon freshwater tank and now my plants are looking GREAT!Saturday, May 31, 2014
Pennplax Cockatiel Bath, Large
Buy Pennplax Cockatiel Bath, Large Now
Product in very good condition and received on time. However, I thought it was much smaller. I thought that it would fit in the food slot on the bird cage. It fits in the door of the bird cage. I do not close the door to my bird cage, so I may never use this product.Our bird doesn't use it, but I think it is the bird and not the product. That said it is sturdy and just as advertised.The bird bath is robust and fine but we were led to believe that it would fit any cage and it wont fit either of our Cockatiel cages so we are disappointed as it has to sit on the floor of the cage and not in the door hole. Our cockatiel wont use it properly because of that so not as good as we thought it would be.Sunday, May 4, 2014

Azoo Mignon Filter 150 Power Filter
The carbon filtration seems to work perfectly. I installed it right after a week long Melafix treatment for one of my guppies (this is my nursery/hospital tank) so the water was very cloudy. In 12 hours, there was a substantial change in the cloudiness. In 24 hours, the water was nearly clear. By 48 hours, the tank was sparkling clean. This works perfectly for a 5.5 gallon tank.
Now for the chemical filtration, included in the package is one set of the carbon filter cartridge, and a thin black sponge "for mechanical filtration." Indeed the media in the thin black sponge was thin and spacious; there is less surface area in the sponge than optimal. Afraid that I did not have enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow on (truly not an issue), I purchased a pack of replacement sponges for the Azoo Mignon 60 and used the "bio-filter" (aka dense sponge for bacteria to coat) and placed it into the Mignon 150. The sponge is obviously smaller than intended, but all intents and purposes, it works.
The filter does have an adjustable flow knob at the top of the intake. Contrary to the functionality of even the "top brands" of filters, this knob does make a significant difference in the flow. Also, this feature is not commonly found on smaller models of power filters. This makes it useful for tanks housing fry who can't fight current or may be sucked into the filter.
All I have to say about the noise level is that it is virtually silent. If the water gets too low in the tank, of course, the out-flow will make noise, but that's not an issue of the filter.
This was an affordable and fully functional power filter. It is worth every cent. The extra media that I put into the filter is not necessary. I would not advise this filter for anything larger than the tank I have, however.
P.S. Check out the photo(s) I have uploaded!

I have a regular 30 gallon tank. I don't think the plastic around the top is any wider than it is on any other tank, but this filter would not fit on it.Read Best Reviews of Azoo Mignon Filter 150 Power Filter Here

API Phos-Zorb Filter Media Pouch Size 6
I run this media in a HOB aquaclear filter on my 120 gallon reef tank (with no other media to prevent Nitrate spike) and my phosphates are now undetectable. This has allowed me to keep delicate SPS in the same tank with a few messy eaters who require meat feedings several times a day... with the Phos-zorb pouch running in the filter, I don't have to worry about polluting the water.
I'll definitely be buying again when my current pouch is spent!I got advise from Aquarium Pharmacuticals, customer service, to try this Phos Zorb , it doed keep Algea from forming on the rocks and ornaments in my 75 gal tank ,
Also keep the lighting to a 7 hr max .
I use the aqua50 filter with self fill bag using Ammocarb, 1 month carbon change works fine and a fluval 404 with media and ammo carb , water clear as glass
