General Cage-Soft-Sided Dog Crate - Tan

General Cage It'z a Breeze Too 27-Inch by 42-Inch by 30-Inch Tubular Tent Crate, Tan Fabric and Tan MeshOur previous Mesh Crate was rounded and setting it up and dismantling it was a nightmare. So much so that we disposed of it after our recent vacation rather than face the hassle of setting it up again. The It'z a Breeze Cage fits its name to a tee. So so simple to assemble and our dog seems to love it as well. It is left with the door open in our loft and he spends his days in there while we are at work I highly recommend this product whether it be for travel or home.

I chose to buy this product again 10 years later because my first tent crate is still in use without any problems with frame, fabric or zipper. The new portable crate has a base that made different & it remains to be seen if it will give great service like its predecessor.

Buy General Cage-Soft-Sided Dog Crate - Tan Now

This is a great travel cage very light weight and easy to fold and store when not in use. It folds almost flat so we can store it in the vehicle handy whenever we need it. The foremost reason we bought it is because it was mostly made of mesh. Our dog overheats easily so we wanted a cage that would allow air movement. Plus, he can see out in all directions. Great design and highly recommended.

Mac is a 45 lb English Setter and we have always cage crated him in our van when driving.

Our large cage is perfect but he has a tendency to lick the metal grates even if we spray some Bitter Apple on them.

The "Its a breeze fabric tent crate" is large, easy to assemble and he can't lick the sides.

It stands up to a little weight being put on it and is very cool and open to air flow.

The sand color is nice but it is going to get dirty. We might consider getting the green and black version

Light weight and easy to use. Would have perfered a darker color so it would have been easier to keep claen.

JW Pet Company ActivAir Ferris Wheel Aquarium Ornament

JW Pet Company ActivAir Ferris Wheel Aquarium OrnamentI have a 30 gallon aquarium so I wanted something new and different. This ferris wheel is good at providing air to the fish. The only thing I wish it did was go faster than it does.

I have yet to see any fish take a ride on it...hehe...

I read the reviews and decided to order. This thing actually does great. You do need a bit of air power to make it spin. I used a air pump rated for a 60 gallon aquarium, and the wheel was spinning a little too fast. I bought this to go in a tank with Sponge Bob decor. The fish didn't seem to mind it either.

I ordered this Ferris Wheel for my aquarium and I was a bit disappointed with the color. It showed red, yellow and blue on the ad but I received green over green which wasn't (color) what I wanted. I gave it 4 stars because the item was nice and in new condition...plus the company was very cooperative and responded quickly to this problem. They credited me which shows professionlism and caring for their customers. Beware, when ordering this item....you might not get the color that is shown in the ad.

Prime, 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz.

Prime, 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz.It does a great job on treating tap water.

The smell of this stuff is not great, but goes away after the water is treated.

This stuff really works! It does have a small foul odor to it, but it dissipates soon enough. It only takes a day or two for this stuff to work it's magic on high levels of Ammonia and such. My water is crystal clear and my African Cichlids are happy. Two thumbs up!

Buy Prime, 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz. Now

i decided to try this line of aquarium products because after reading the literature on it, it seemed the more innovative direction to take in striving for creating optimal turtle tank conditions. i have had great results with seachem's purigen, which is a "re-chargeable" substitute for carbon in your aquarium filter.....if u inow turtles, they are very dirty and consequently, i was spending a great deal on carbon, which is really just a throw away after one use. anyhow, the prime product is used when u do water changes and when i first saw the size. the bottle, it seemed so small until i read the instructions....you only use a teaspoon for 50 gallons. the combination of the seachem products is resulting in better test results on my ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels and i don't have to do as much maintenance on the filter and the tank it seems. i would heartily recommend this product and plan to continue on with ordering items in their line!!

Used it since i started a new tank, works well. The ammonia feature works somewhat, it seems to improve the fish coat. Removes chlorine well never had a chlorine problem while using this.

Want Prime, 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz. Discount?

Must have product for all aquariums!!! The label / bottle might not look as appealing as other branded aquarium pharmaceuticals (ie. TetraFin etc.) but the product works wonders. One thing for sure is, when using this product you might show false positives in your test kits, however, do not be alarmed if you see high Ammonia / Trite / Trate readings, this product simply detoxes these for up to 24-48 hours to make it safe for fish. To get proper readings, just perform water changes weekly.

Just as a tip, I use Prime to help me with my fish in cycles.

NOTE: FISHLESS CYCLES ARE ALWAYS RECOMMENDED, IT IS LESS CRUEL FOR THE FISH AND WILL GIVE YOU AN ADDED BENEFIT OF FULLY STOCKING AN AQUARIUM.

Tetra Betta Bowl, Silver

Tetra Betta Bowl, SilverToo small for a temporary home. Not bad I guess if you wanted to put one in there while your changing your REAL tank. You can get a 5 gal for cheaper at some places. Please be kind!

This is a simple and sweet bowl for your Betta. It is a good bowl but take note that the food will get buried beneath the rocks so it requires extra cleaning.The light is nice and runs on batteries, it is an LED light.

Buy Tetra Betta Bowl, Silver Now

I bought my betta a few weeks ago as a pet for college. Unsure of what container to get, or how much room I would have on my desk, I opted for this bowl.

I have been very pleased with this product. Although the bowl is smaller than I would like, my fish has grown increasingly happy and responsive the longer he has lived in it. There was enough room to place a small "fish castle" in the middle, which he absolutely loves! It gives him a wonderful place to hide, but also something to do. I also placed a few small rocks at the bottom for him to rest on, and to compliment his color.

Unfortunately, this bowl does not have a filtration system, so it requires almost daily examination/care. This is not a huge issue for me, but I can assume that it will become too much work eventually.

I plan on switching to a larger, filtered tank eventually, but for now, this bowl has been great for my happy, healthy little friend. :)

I would never use this for any of my fish. Bettas needs are too many. Heck any fishes needs are many. Filtering, heat, freshness...

I do however love this tank for raising food for my fish. Its not a bad spot for brine shrimp.

Algone Aquarium Water Clarifier and Nitrate Remover, Large

Algone Aquarium Water Clarifier and Nitrate Remover, LargeI was going to give up on my aquarium. I have a 60 gallon planted tank and the algae was getting out of control. My best efforts were doing little. As a last-ditch effort I went to the store to see what might get rid of the algae. I wanted to avoid a "chemical" solution but had run out of ideas. I noticed AlGone and thought I'd give it a try.

For a few weeks I didn't notice much, though I kept swapping the pouch every five or six days. But over a month or so the algae began a retreat and then pretty well disappeared altogether. It's now several months later, I haven't seen any in ages. I still have to clean the glass once a month, or so, to get rid of some hard stuff on the glass, but the algae on the plants and everywhere else is just gone. Best of all, the tank no longer smells like algae (or anything else, for that).

This stuff works!

I used this product several times to lower some really high nitrate levels in my tank. It does a pretty good job. The only thing I don't like is that you have to replace it every 5 days which means shutting off my canister filter and opening it up and replacing it. That's the only down side to it.

Buy Algone Aquarium Water Clarifier and Nitrate Remover, Large Now

After about a week or two it stinks like fish poo, and when it smells like that I throw it away and put a new one in. My tanks have been a lot cleaner with this product. btw, the large is supposed to be for large aquariums 125 gallons and over, but I use it in my 24 and 46 gallon planted tanks.

Exotic Environments Rock Tunnels with Silk Style Plants Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Rock Tunnels with Silk Style Plants Aquarium OrnamentThe item is pretty much exactly as described and what you see. I decided on this for the over all effect I was hoping it would have with the background I choose. Very natural green plants and rock background.

The fish love swimming through the log chasing each other or simply enjoying it and several at a time. Different types together as well. Currently after one or two days of having it I am extremely happy with it.

The item was well packaged considering, although as mentioned otherwise, leaves were bent upon arrival. I managed to unbend some but was glad to see this did not detract too much when in the tank.

Definitely recommended if you want something more natural and for fish to be happy. I have a 10 gallon tank and this fits nicely at one end at an angle from the front right corner to not quite the middle of the back part of the tank. Perhaps I may be able to update this further later on. Do note there is another similar version I think smaller on Amazon if you want something slightly different.

and it looks great in my 55 gallon freshwater tank. There are several ways in/out and its big enough for my fat/lazy 7" pleco to get in, but if my rainbow shark gets there first, pleco is out of luck :) My smaller fish ( a variety of tetras) love darting in/out.

Buy Exotic Environments Rock Tunnels with Silk Style Plants Aquarium Ornament Now

This is great. It is a hollow log with silk plants. It fits perfectly in my 5.5 gallon betta aquarium without overwhelming it. The medium gray goes well with my Top Fin polished pebbles gravel. My betta likes to swim through its various holes and takes a nap in there from time to time. My snail spends a lot of the day in there, too. I don't like a lot of stuff in my aquariums. This log in the middle of the aquarium with its silk plants on each end look fine to me. My only reason for not leaving a 5 star rating is that two of the plant leaves were creased and don't look right. Other than that it would get a perfect rating from me. It's worth every penny I spent on it and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

UPDATE: After having this in my freshwater tank for a couple of months the paint has started to flake off of the rock. Even if the paint is safe in the aquarium I don't want it being eaten by fish or clogging up my filters. I'm going to remove this rock from the tank and replace it with natural rock or wood.

ORIGINAL:

This decoration looked exactly like the picture and has held up well in my tank over the past month. Fish and frogs are always taking shelter in it and swim in and out of the many openings. Of all of the plants that I bought for my new 20 gallon freshwater aquarium this is my favorite. Recommended!

Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets

Timber Hide-A-Way® Large Natural Wood Hut for Guinea PigsThe gerbil loves it. All the really special food gets taken inside for private eating. He likes the several exits we've noticed gerbils don't like to enter things that don't have another way out. He will also sit on top of it and ponder the world. This is gerbil number 3 the first two loved them as well. This one isn't chewing it up nearly as fast as previous occupants. Do get a couple, since eventually they get fairly chewed up.

I've had a few of these over the years, not because they don't last, but because the gerbils love to chew them, and they are sturdy enough that they are not chewed through. However, when I get a new set of gerbils, they get a new Timber Hide-A-Way. I've never had to buy more than one for each set of gerbils (and, in fact, could use the same one, but give them a new one anyway). They like to play in it and gnaw on it to keep their teeth short.

Buy Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets Now

It's the best chewable habitat I've seen. We had a different model our gerbil demolished -but that model was painted bright colors. I suspect it was somewhat toxic to chew on, though our gerbil survived.

This is unpainted and seems as safe a habitat as one could buy. Only 3 issues:

1. The label was a nuisance to remove.

2. It's tacked together, so hope the gerbil can figure that out.

3. It's made in China, so we can only cross fingers and hope it really is relatively non-toxic.

Update: Well, four issues. Our gerbil is a manic chewer, and he chewed into a tack on a similar structure. He broke a tooth, which the abscessed. He's now the 150 dollar gerbil, recovering post-op. This wood hut has similar tacks holding it together. If Kangaroo recovers fully, we'll cut this structure apart and build him something held together by string.

I had one of these when I had a guinea pig a few years ago. He loved the little wood hut.

It always stayed clean and he enjoyed nibbling on it. A BIG bonus is that it is very durable, and it lasted him about 5 years or so.

I would totally buy one all over again.

Want Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets Discount?

Highly recommended.

Previously I used cardboard boxes with sections cut out for entry and windows. My pig loved those and would immediately start to nibble on them. They were free and lasted about three months. I ensured that there was no ink, tape or labels on the boxes.

I purchased this recently, and my pig loves it, of course. He's already sticks his head out the top and the side window. I think that this is better for him, because it will help his teeth wear down better than a cardboard box. I don't see any dangers in my guinea pig using this.

The construction is very good, no loose pieces. It's also size appropriate. Great product, fast shipping and arrived in good condition.

Danner 02501 35 GPH Mini Statuary Pond Pump

Danner 02501 35 GPH Mini Statuary Pond PumpGreat job, adjustable flow, 10 in lift. Quite.

Great and excellent price. Works all day every day with no fail

The pump has a few design flaws which cause it to not operate properly. The control for water flow is located where the hose attaches thus it easily detaches from the top of the pump . The rubber suction cups do not work and the pump easily separates. I needed to place a rubber band around the pump to hold it together.

Universal Rocks 48-Inch by 24-Inch Rocky Flexible Aquarium Background

Universal Rocks 48-Inch by 24-Inch Rocky Flexible Aquarium BackgroundI was a little skeptical before buying this background. It was hard for me to imagine spending this much money on a background for my turtle tank but I'm glad I did. I have a 75 gallon aquarium and I had to cut it to fit. I just used a large scissors (you could also use a utility knife) and it wasn't terribly hard. It is flexible enough for me to bend it to get it around the brace in the middle of the tank and it is not very thick (maybe one inch) so it doesn't take up too much space. It looks like it does in the picture (except mine seems a little darker) and the way its molded makes it look like a real boulder or rock face. The back side is black rubber or plastic but the front feels like sandpaper. My turtles love this because they can climb the wall but if you have delicate fish you may want to be careful that they aren't forced to rub up against it. I am using the clips that came with and they do work but you can also use silicone if you want it permanently in place. I have had this for 6 months now and it has stood up to me scrubbing it with a scrub brush to get the algae off. The instructions say that you are supposed to power wash it before you put it in the tank but I used a scrub brush in my tub and lots of black grit comes off at first. I haven't seen any since and it didn't affect my fish or water. I will be buying another one of these when I get a larger tank because it looks realistic and seems like it will last forever.

This is by far the best addition I have made to my tanks. I don't understand why this isn't more popular and more stores carrying it. I have asked many people about it, and nobody has heard of it. If your tank is the same size as one of these it will take literally minutes to install it. It will be more difficult if you need to cut it because of the textured surface. I haven't noticed any algae growth, etc. on it. The only concern is smaller fish like neons getting behind it, but that was only a problem once when a small pleco got behind it and had trouble getting out. My aquariums now look VERY professional, almost like something you would see at a real aquarium. Another nice benefit is I don't have to put nearly as many plants in to make it look nice. Highly highly recommended.

Buy Universal Rocks 48-Inch by 24-Inch Rocky Flexible Aquarium Background Now

but cutting it was cumbersome. Once I figured out that a sharp utility knife was best to cut this thing then it wasn't too bad. (Tried a few things) Only thing I didn't like was that it came with PVC pipe cut into 1/2 inch circles as "clips". (LAME) and did not appreciate having to glue it onto my tank. If that was going to be the case then they should've made the back flat for gluing purposes. Too many ridges in back made it difficult to figure out which would touch the aquarium and which wouldn't. All in all, after all the hard work it ended up looking lovely in my 75g aquarium.

One thing though.....if you're going to glue it, make sure you get your dimensions right and you glue ALL edges. Don't want you to end up with fish creeping into any missed nooks.

API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 16-Ounce

API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 16-OunceI have been using this product for about 10 years and I love it. I have tried a few other water conditioners but my tanks always just seam to be healthier when I use this product. I highly recommend it :-)

I have relied on this product to pre-condition water for my tank for about 5 years.

This vendor is great fast shipment, well packed, ahead of time.

Two of my fish had their fins damaged by an aggressive tank mate. While this is a nice water conditioner, I bought it with specific hopes that it would aid in my fishes tail fins regrowth and it has done just that. I was very upset at the damage and didn't know how well mother nature alone would take care of it and this stress coat fish and tap water conditioner has definitely delighted me with it's efficiency. Pay close attention to the dosing. Extra size dose is recommended for fin damage.

Excellent all-in-one water conditioner that tackles both chlorine and chloramines. I've used this product for both inside aquariums and my 200 gallon outdoor pond. Easy to use and a little goes a long way. Literally, it provides instant water conditioning.

Want API Stress Coat Water Conditioner, 16-Ounce Discount?

There are a great deal of water conditioners out there on the market for the fish tank. This is one that I've used regulary since 1999. I use it to condition my water for water changes, topping off the tank and when setting up a new tank. It removes both chlorine and chloramine from tap water. It also reduces fish stress and heals any damaged tissue, torn fins, and skin wounds. It also replaces the natural secretion of slime that is interrupted by handling, shipping, fish fighting, or other forms of stress and reduces the susceptibility to disease and infection. It is a great product, which I have no trouble recommending to others. I usually buy the larger size, but when in a pinch I buy this size.

Zilla 11758 Terrarium Liner, 50-Gallon, Green

Zilla 11758 Terrarium Liner, 50-Gallon, GreenI use this liner for my bearded dragon. It holds up really well! If it gets too nasty I just take it outside and wash it with the water hose, let it dry, and put it back in the tank. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish it came in brown for desert terrariums.

I originally wanted tile as I heard they were easy to clean, and was planning to use this under the tile to protect the glass. Never did find tile I liked, so I stuck with the carpet. My only gripe is brown is so hard to find in the larger size.

I vacuum this on a regular basis and it looks great. Beardies nails do not get stuck in the carpet. I haven't placed it in the washer machine yet, so I'm not sure how well it will look afterwards.

It was easy to measure and cut with a scissor before being placed in my tank and it lies flat. Very happy with it for the price and it looks good.

Read Best Reviews of Zilla 11758 Terrarium Liner, 50-Gallon, Green Here

I have used Zilla terrarium liners exclusively for our box turtle ever since our vet advised me so. I had complained about the stinky mess of cleaning up substrate products, not to mention the unexpected and unwelcome "pest-guests" that I sometimes found in them (even after freezing the unopened product for several days!). You can't beat these liners. They're easy to clean, especially in the summer when I just use a garden hose to clean them. I suppose the turtle misses digging in substrate as he used to do. But the pluses for me outweigh his love of digging.

Want Zilla 11758 Terrarium Liner, 50-Gallon, Green Discount?

This product is manufactured to fit with Zilla terrariums. I had to snip about 5/8 of an inch off the length of our carpet, but after that it covered the floor edge to edge perfectly in our 40 gallon unit. We placed our Ball Python back in the cage after a cleaning and installing this carpet, and he explored a bit but didn't seem to find a problem with the carpet. In fact he has settled into his normal routines already. So our guy seems comfortable with it, which makes us happy. Heat also seems to penetrate carpet well, which surprised me considering this is made of recycled plastic materials. I thought I would have to cut a chunk out over the heated portion of the tank, but I won't have to. It dampens the heat from under tank heating pads just enough to make it feel more natural without severely stifling it. Our tank is also staying 2-3 degrees warmer prior to installation, so this carpet provides enough R value to completely make up for the slight reduction in heat penetration from the heater, and actually helps the heater work more efficiently. It sure is nice to replace the messy substrate we were using with something cleaner and washable. I recommend for anyone with a snake housed in a Zilla Terrarium.

It far exceeded anything available locally! Great price and value! I wanted something to fill my pet beds with...and your Cedar Chips were just right! My dogs now wake from naps and they both have that wonderful cedar aroma about them! I LOVE IT! No more musty doggie smells...they both love their beds now...and sleep well thru the night! I don't have to worry sbout fleas or ticks...and the great cedar aroma follows them for most of the daywarning away any future hitch hikers! Thank you for the fast shipping! I can't reccomend this compacted Cedar block enough! It's compacted so when you break off a chunk, it expands into quite a bit of filling! I've filled 2 large pet beds and still have about 2/3 rds of the bag of compacted cedar chips to go! If anyone is wondering about whiose cedar filling to buy...Get this one, it's such a great value, and the cedar chips are VERY aromatic!! AAA+!

Added this to my Doug's beds and now they (and he) stay cedar fresh. However, I had to be careful as I was adding it. A few twigs and sticks were mixed in. Not a problem for rodents, I'd guess, but not comfy if you are using this for larger animals. Also, be advised that this is a huge amount--it's very densely packed. I wish I could reseal the bag instead of using a chip clip! It will take me a very long time to use this up!!

Marina Amazon Sword Plant Decoration

Hagen Amazon Sword Plant, LargeThis is a much better value than some of the large silk plants offered. Although plastic it looks very good in the tank. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is that a few times the large plecos have been able to pull the leaves off the stems they slide right back on but in my maintenance tanks this can be a little frustrating because I am not there all the time. You could use a little super glue to lock them on if you wished. They should just be a little more snug but at least they don't shred and turn into a mass of threads like the silk ones they have replaced.

Digital LCD Fish Tank Aquarium Marine Water Thermometer - -50°C to 70°C

Digital LCD Fish Tank Aquarium Marine Water Thermometer - -50°C to 70°CSimple to use, inexpensive to buy. I bought 4 of these to monitor temperatures in different parts of my vivarium (it's big, so temperatures range up to 20 degrees F sometimes). To check them I have a separate analog (dial) thermometer and I also put the four sensors (remember I bought four of these, so one sensor each) right next to each other for about 24 hours. The biggest difference in temperature reported by the side-by-side probes was one degree. Good enough for me. I also like that I can stick the probe directly in the super-humid vivarium but keep the electronic part of the unit outside in the relatively dry air.

I'm so glad that it was inexpensive. You get what you pay for, I guess....I didn't return it cause it wasn't worth the trouble, either

Nutrafin Betta Bowl Conditioner, 2 Ounces

Nutrafin Betta Bowl Conditioner, 2 OuncesDespite the tannins in its almond leaf extract, this product is alkaline. Bettas prefer their water slightly acid. I'm having a hard time getting my tank back to the proper pH with Betta Plus in the water.

Chlorine dissipates from tap water if it sits uncovered for a day. Nitrates, nitrites and ammonia are needed by plants. You keep them from reaching toxic levels by doing regular partial water changes. If Betta Plus does anything more to condition the water, I would like to know what it is.

I Googled Nutrafin's #5942232 "Stress Reducing" formula. It appears to be for a concoction of chemical and herbal remedies that have not been proven to be beneficial to fish. If your Betta's water is properly maintained, and he is still stressed, therapy should bring better results.

Betta Plus neutralizes any active chlorine in the water; that is the only reason I gave this product one star.

I must agree with the previous comment about this product being too alkaline. I bought this product due to the Indian Almond leaf extract which I know is beneficial to bettas being a part of their natural habitat. But my pH rose too much while using this. Bettas do prefer their water slightly on the acid side & this product raised my pH up to 7.6 which is too alkaline.

I stopped using this & now do my water changes with another water conditioner. I also bought some Indian Almond leaves & have added them to his tank.

I rarely write reviews and I really don't know all that much about fish, but my son wanted a pet fish and we went through two poor fish until I discovered this stuff. I attribute our current bettas long life span (we have had him for almost six months now) to this water conditioner. He is a happy fish, blows lots of cool bubble nests and looks beautiful. Thanks Nutrafin!

This is one of the worst betta conditioner I've ever purchased. IT IS NOT ABOUT QUALITY, BUT QUANTITY. It is super expensive if you compare it apple by apple with other conditioners.

Years ago I had a Betta fish and it didn't live long at all. Then my mother-in-law got two different Betta fish that died over night. I thought I would never get another Betta again.

My 5 year old son wanted his own fish so we went to our local pet store and talked to the man in charge of the fish and he helped us find the perfect Betta fish and find the perfect tank for him. The tank came with Nutrafin Betta plus. I went back to buy more Nutrafin Betta plus but the store didn't carry this product and suggested I try something else. I decided to look on line and find what I know works well with our fish. I am very happy to be able to find it here. Our fish is very happy and beautiful. We have had him almost six months now and look forward to having him for many years.

biOrb Cleaning Pads - 3 Pack

biOrb Cleaning Pads - 3 PackI've used these pads every time I've cleaned my BiUbe aquarium for the past 7 years, and the acrylic is still as clear and scratch-free as when it was new, and I often wait too long to clean it and the algae can get a bit thick in spots.

Actually getting a algae eater fish would be more environmentally friendly. But these pads work well and do the trick.
