SeaClear Bowfront Aquarium Combo

SeaClear Bowfront Aquarium ComboLook nice..I don't have to worry about leaks and the seams(there are none)..a little difficult to access the inside as the openings are narrow on the top...feeding time requires a very small hand to reach in the back slot/opening..or one must remove the kighting and cover to access the tank...also, a disappointment that a BULB was not included for the light(yes, it was mentioned in description of tank)..Overall, it is an ok product. Looks nice.

UMM... where is the size!?! this is extremely aggravating to me that there is no size gallon wise or even dimensions! Not only for just this tank but every single freaking tank or even product from stupid petco!

CUR AQUACHEF AUTO FISH FEEDER

CUR AQUACHEF AUTO FISH FEEDERThis feeder works well with chips, but not so well with flake food. The first time I attempted to use it, I used flake food which ended up collecting a lot of moisture, basically turning the food to just a muddy mess.

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

Midwest Tropical 675 Square Aquarium Coffee TableThe only thing they really had to get right with this tank was having the black bottom piece affixed securely to the clear acrylic tank, and with that they failed miserably. The black acrylic piece at the bottom is about 3/8" wide and is affixed poorly by glue around the tank. Accidently bump into the table or attempt to move the table and the bottom will no longer be attached to the tank.

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

TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6If my crabs can escape through the top of a 10 gallon glass tank , I seriously doubt this would contain them .

Please, Please, Please do not put a turtle in this habitat. A turtle needs 10 gallons for every inch big that his shell is. Otherwise, their growth will be stunted and their shells will deform. Please buy a 10 gallon tank and a metal grate top. Your turtle needs both a heat lamp and a 5.0 UVB lamp in order to develop and thrive as well as a filter to keep water clean. They have to be able to bask and dry themselves or they can develop bacterial and fungal infections of the shell. Filters can be left out of the tank until they are bigger if you would prefer to do a daily water change rather than spend the money right away. These baby turtles are a 30-50 year commitment. Please raise them properly. Ask a local pet store if you have questions. If you find that your turtles are too much to handle, many pet stores will take them in for you. I've spent upwards of $200 dollars setting up my ten gallon tank with a filter, lights and basking dock. And it is worth it to watch them thrive and play every day.

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.

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.

Blue Ribbon Pet Products ABL210 Plant Sinkers Carded for Aquarium

Blue Ribbon Pet Products ABL210 Plant Sinkers Carded for AquariumThese weight strips are very flexible and perfect for rooting new plants or weighing down food for bottom feeders (i.e. cucumber slices, leafy greens, kelp...). They're also fairly durable, so I've been able to reuse them several times without breaking.

All Glass Aquarium AAG29251 Overflow Accessory New Kit

All Glass Aquarium AAG29251 Overflow Accessory New KitI was very worried about buying this product. Everything has to be perfect for this product to work. The Aqueon product line of tanks are well designed. This accessory is worth the money. Do not go out to the hardware store and try to build your own version. I know have a beautiful Marine tank. The price is high, but the product is excellent.

Great product, looks/functions almost as advertised. The connections on the bottom of the tank could be smaller, the ones that come with it are for 1 3/4 inch hose going to the filter (who uses a connection that big?) I had to jerry rig it and ended up just going with the equipment that came with my filter.

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Bully Stick Dog Treat, 4-Pack

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Bully Stick Dog Treat, 4-PackYes, bully sticks are kind of expensive. Yes, they stink. But, unlike rawhides, they're fully digestible and do not expand in the stomach or intestines.

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

Nano CO2 Diffuser - Glass Reactor for Aquarium Plantsi put this on my DIY co2 system and it works great, you need to have pressure for it to work. it looks great in my tank and has been working perfectly for a few weeks now. Wish the glass was a little thicker, I get nervous when I have to clean it because its so thin, but overall it works great and looks great too..

I bought this for my DIY yeast bottle setup (with a 2 liter bottle) and it works great. The bubbles out of this are incredible small, much smaller than any air stone I have tried. Smaller bubbles=better CO2 absorption. It supplies my 26 gal tank very well, for larger tanks consider using two for more CO2. Very attractive too.

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.

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!

Pennplax Cockatiel Bath, Large

Pennplax Cockatiel Bath, LargeI use this as the water bowl for my Cockatiels & Parakeets as they can take a dip in it too. It holds a lot of water & hangs securely on the sides of large avairy cages. My birds prefer this type of water dish as it's high in the cage & easy to get to. I add bird vitamins to the water & the birds are happy, healthy & have cool water for hydration or fun to cool off in.

I purchased this item for my two cocoateils. I have had it a month or so, in the cage and my male just started using it. It is the perfect size. He gets in, dunks and baths and sits on the bar to dry. So cute. I love it....

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.

Want Pennplax Cockatiel Bath, Large Discount?

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.

Water Lily - Medium White and Green - 8 1/2 in.

Water Lily - Medium White and Green - 8 1/2 in.I bought this for my betta tank, but in pink and a little spikier petals, and it looks very nice! The flower part is right below the surface of the water in my tank, and bettas love to lay on and in things right at the surface, so I find him there in his flower constantly throughout the day resting. It's well made, I like the gravel bowl base a lot, and it's very easy to clean. The plastic isn't rough or hard, so it won't cut your fish's fins. Very happy with this product.

I was expecting it to be a little tall than it is. I think 8.5 inches is rather generous. More like 6. I do like how the leaves are detachable, and I like the gravel tray.

Do wish I could pick my color though, I got pink. I hate pink.

Shipping costs jack this thing up to $10. This things not worth $10.

Bramton Company DBT11062 Hardfloor Stain Remover, 64-Ounce

Bramton Company DBT11062 Hardfloor Stain Remover, 64-OunceAfter countless purchases of a variety of "removes odor guarantee" products, finally, a product that actually works!!! I have 3 Chihuahuas who use inside potty pads. One is a boy who overshoots the pad frequently and it ends up on the tile floor. Previously, all my daily spraying and cleaning, including steam cleaning, would not take the odor away. With Simple Solutions for Hard Floors, there is absolutely no residual odor after only one treatment. I use it daily. You simply cannot go wrong with Simple Solution products!!!

Azoo Mignon Filter 150 Power Filter

Azoo Mignon Filter 150 Power FilterI've been running the Azoo Mignon filter in my fish tank for about two months now and it runs like a champ. It is very quiet (unless the water level in the tank drops, and then I just need to refresh the water levels--no fault of the filter) and seems to do a very good job keeping the tank clean. I have been using it on a smaller 5-gallon tank and I turned the flow down some so the water isn't so turbulent. My goldfish (the only occupant in my tank) seems to like it and I see him hanging out occasionally around the spillway--he seems to like the slight briskness of the flow. I would highly recommend it. I'm sure it would do a fine job in a larger tank too.

I bought this little filter in my local fish store for my 5.5 gallon Aqueon tank.

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.

API Phos-Zorb Filter Media Pouch Size 6

API Phos-Zorb Filter Media Pouch Size 6If you've tried cutting back on feedings and are still battling phosphates in your tank, I would definitely recommend this cheap and effective solution.

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

Cobalt Aquatics Algae Wafers 8oz

Cobalt Aquatics Algae Wafers 8ozMy African Cichlids and Pleco LOVE these wafers. I break them up once and a while when my fish have babies but they usually tear through these with no problem. Most people don't realize these are not meant to be swallowed whole they get nibbled on till they dissolve.

These are great for my 22 year old Pleco. Hikari is also very good, but these are thicker and don't come broken from shipping like the bagged products. I plan on alternating between Cobalt and Hikari for some diversity but the Cobalt has a better mix of ingredients. My Pleco seems to prefer as well, he lets me know at every feeding and always finishes every last bite. These are much easier and cleaner to handle.
