Hagen Marina Ecoscaper Hydrocotyle Silk Plant Plant, 8-Inch

Hagen Marina Ecoscaper Hydrocotyle Silk Plant Plant, 8-InchOf all the different plants I've used in the past few years, my Bettas much prefer this particular plant because of the wide, flat leaves. They can lounge on a leaf at any level of the plant close to the bottom or right near the top. Since my initial purchase, I have always replaced it with another of the same when I felt it needed replacing.

The only thing I'd recommend is snipping off the little bits of excess plastic that are sometimes located under the leaves or on the stems. They can be sharp on the Betta's delicate fins, but come off easily enough. Very nice plant to look at, too. I'll see if I still have a photo of my tanks somewhere.

I bought this plant for a new freshwater 20 gallon aquarium I set up at work. My African Dwarf frogs love it, and at least one is often hiding underneath the lower leaves. It is shorter than 8 inches (maybe if you stretched it out it would be that long). Other than that it looks great and I'm happy with it.

The plant looks very much as pictured, very realistic. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because though the tops of the leaves are gorgeous the underside of all the leaves aren't painted and are pretty cheezy looking and where my tank is at you'll be able to see that. But! I still love it, looks great otherwise.

I added this plant to my aquarium for my two African dwarf frogs and they love it. They like to hide in the leaves and I often see them resting on a leaf and napping. It creates a nice environment for the frogs to play in and looks so natural.

These are some really nice silk plants. They are as described and the weighted base makes them easy to place in the aquarium. It just doesn't get any better than this in artificial aquarium plants. I'm a happy camper.

Acurel LLC Filter Drawstring Lifeguard Media Bag, 4-Inch by 12-InchI love these bags. I use them for carbon and crushed coral with no issues at all. What I like most are the drawstrings... they're not flimsy pieces of thread like some other bags I've used.

Highly recommended.

Nature's Pure Glass Aquarium Sphere 12" Dia x 10" Height, 2.75 Gallons.

Nature's Pure Glass Aquarium Sphere 12' Dia x 10' Height, 2.75 Gallons.I ordered this glass bowl to make a terrarium I would be giving as a thank you gift. It is a beautiful, solid glass bowl. I am very pleased with the purchase and am buying another today.

This is a nice quality glass bowl. Looks nice with goldfish in it but is a perfect size for something more adventurous a terrarium for example...

I bought this goldfish bowl for my 3 year old daughter because I wasn't ready to do the whole acquarium scene. All I could find everywhere else was the most 2 gallon. This size gives a couple of goldfish some good room to swim.

It's visually a nice decor bowl. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because due to the nature of hand blown glass it becomes very thin at the top of the bowl. Plus $40 is a little extreme I believe.

Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament SH237 pu

Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament SH237 puVery much disappointed with the Given-Arts Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament SH237 pu. The picture made it look very nice, when I received the item, very cheap looking; very poorly made. Definately not worth what I paid for it.

This was beautiful when I first received it. It took my breath away,,, but after a week in my tank the color faded from purple to pink. I still like it but just a little dissapointed.

I like this anemone. I like it's color and the size as well. I agree with the others saying that it has a very strong smell to it. Frankly I don't care about it if the fish don't care about it. It looks nice in the tank, and I'm hoping that it doesn't lose its color. :) Affordable and seems like a nice product.

Nutrafin Clear Water Clarifier, 4.1 Ounces

Nutrafin Clear Water Clarifier, 4.1 OuncesI use this occasionally when there more particulate matter in the tank than I want to wait to be filtered out.

The water in my fish tank was pretty cloudy. I put in 5 ml for my 20 gallon tank around noon. When I went back to look at it around 7:00 PM, the water was much cleaner. It wasn't crystal clear, but it was much better. I will give it another treatment in a few days.

Mermaid with Dolphin Ornament - 3.5 in. x 3.5 in. x 5 in.

Mermaid with Dolphin Ornament - 3.5 in. x 3.5 in. x 5 in.and this one is perfect. Our 55 gallon freshwater tank is in my 8 year old son's room. I have always been fascinated w/ mermaids and really wanted one for our tank. When I first started looking 2.5 years ago, most were just a bit too grown-up for what I thought should be in my kid's room. (this one is a replacement for my original one that ended up covered in black algae due to my ignorance now that I'm wiser = had to replace my original one). Its cute, holds up well as long as you don't try to scrub algae off of it (if necessary, rinse and use your fingernail or a VERY soft bristle tooth brush and brush GENTLY).

We purchased three of these mermaids about six months ago for a freshwater aquarium. All of them have paint flakes missing, and it really came off in areas where we used an old, soft toothbrush to clean them. We're very disappointed that the paint does not stay on better.

Jardin Aquarium Plastic Artificial Plants Fish Tank Décor, 10-Piece, Orange

Jardin Aquarium Plastic Artificial Plants Fish Tank Décor, 10-Piece, OrangeThese are nice for a bit of color in a tank. Small and sit on gravel with out having to be pushed in.

I like cheap plants because I throw out plants when they get covered in algae instead of trying to clean them. It is nice to find cheap in in price but not cheap looking plants. I plan to order these again.

Pen

I've scoured plenty of stores in search of unique/fun flora for my daughters Bikini Bottom themed fishtank. I'm glad I went with these. First, the colors are awesome. Second, these are a good size and are weighted well. Finally, the price on this item made it a great value compared to what pet stores charge for artificial tank decor. We love it!!!

biOrb Ceramic Media

biOrb Ceramic MediaThis aquarium filter medium from Reef One is designed for and sold with the BiOrb series of aquariums. It is a ceramic material covered with air pockets. The air pockets increase the surface on which can live nitrifying bacteria that process fish waste in aquarium water. Biorb aquariums are set up with a central air column that produces a current up the center of the spherical (or cylindrical) tank, down the sides, through the filter medium, through the charcoal/mechanical filter, and back up the central column. It works like an under-gravel filter. Ceramic medium is lighter than regular gravel, and a little sharper. The chunks are larger than regular aquarium gravel. Plants seem to anchor in it just fine, although I bought extra media both to increase the biological filtration and to increase the depth of anchoring material for plants. I am happy with it, although Amazon is not the cheapest place to get it.

Originally, they did not ship me the correct amount. However, when I called customer service, they immediately sent me the corrected amount of rocks.

Zoo Med Hermit Crab Salt Water Conditioner

Zoo Med Hermit Crab Salt Water ConditionerThis stuff does not have the proper levels of salt for your hermit crab. You are better off buying Instant Ocean and mixing 1/2 a cup per gallon of water.

This product does not have the correct levels for your hermit crabs. These products are made to get a customers money and make the consumer believe their hermit crab is getting the correct care. It is much SAFER and CHEAPER to buy Instant Ocean Sea Salt and mix accordingly! please do not buy this because the price is cheap and there is a hermit crab picture on the front.

www.hermit-crabs.com is a fantastic website for all hermit crab care and needs information.

surf the internet for awhile to learn more about the things your hermie needs, if you know he/she needs salt water, you are on a great path! keep going!

HAPPY CRABBING !

Vibran-Sea Amazon Flowering Cluster Aquarium Plant Assortment

Vibran-Sea Amazon Flowering Cluster Aquarium Plant AssortmentI purchased these recently for my Betta tanks and I'm very happy with them. The colors are nice and vibrant and the material is soft. One warning though: if using it with Bettas or fish with delicate fins, make sure to take off those hard plastic "branches". They will snag your fish's fins. This has happened to me in the past with similar plants, so I always take that part off so that the fabric part is just remaining.

Plush Sleep-ezz Pet Bed

Pet Dreams Plush Sleep-eez Dog Bed Reversible 19 by 13-Inch Pet Bed, X-Small, Sage GreenMy dog really enjoys his dog pillow. Actually, I've even caught my cat in his crate a few times, so it looks like they both do! The color, sage green, is very attractive, and the material is very soft. Fits perfectly in the crate.

We have two large dogs (mutts, but roughly one boxer and one lab, in size and shape). They like to chew, and have got through a lot of bedding in their time. This bed is much loved, and they don't chew it. They can just about both fit on at once, when they lie close together. We'll be buying another one. For the price, this seems great. It is not that thick, but it seems to keep the dogs happy.

I bought this bed (in pink) for my 8 week-old Golden Retriever puppy. (I bought another one of these beds because my male Chihuahua has had one in a smaller size, in the blue color, for about two years and he still loves it.) Now my Golden Retriever sleeps on hers every night in her crate, and it has stood up to multiple washings. It's held up really well and still looks fairly new. It might have lost some of its initial fluffiness, as was expected, but because of the way the bed is sewn the filling doesn't pile up on one side of the pillow. It makes a great crate pad because the polyfill stays evenly spread throughout. The outer fabric is so soft, even after 6 weeks of owning it. The color is still nice and bright (see photos). I won't buy any other crate pads! Highly recommended!

My girls love it, it's very soft & cozy in their crates. It's the perfect color & size for my soft side crate & folds right up in it so it's always right with the crate when we travel. It washes up nicely in my washer & drys great too. The padding doesn't bunch up inside it even when my girls bunch the pad up in their crates, I simply lay it back out flat.

AquaTop Nano Aquarium Digital Heater with LED D1HT 50W

AquaTop Nano Aquarium Digital Heater with LED D1HT 50WI got this heater because I bought one at petsmart and it was HORRIBLE! This was the cheapest one online and I am actually surprised by how well it works. My turtle seems much happier now. The only thing that I think is wrong with it are the instructions. They come printed on the box and are not very specific so I had a hard time figuring out how to operate it. Overall, it's an awesome product!

An excellent looking and performing heater. Good features and is doing a really good job controlling the temperature. Worth the money, assuming it lasts. It's been performing admirably for a month already.

Buy AquaTop Nano Aquarium Digital Heater with LED D1HT 50W Now

I bought this heater to replace a Fluval E series that was no longer holding a stable temperature. The temperature is much easier to set than the Fluval with only one button to press. The adjustment lever on the Fluval would stick making it hard to set. This is by far easier to adjust than any heater I've owned. The current temperature display is also easy to read from across the room. You can place the heater in any position because of the external sensor. The temperature fluctuates only within one degree F of the setting and I verified the current temperature display is accurate with a separate thermometer.

The heater arrived with one of the suction cups slightly deformed so that it wouldn't stick to the glass. I contacted the manufacturer and they responded within a day. I received a set of replacement suction cups about a week later free of charge. I highly recommend this product based on the quality of the product and customer service. I've been keeping aquariums for years and I know through experience that a quality heater is important, a malfunction can easily crash your tank.

We got this heater for our 10 gallon tank. We live in a warm climate where we don't always need to turn the heat on at night for ourselves, but do need to make sure that the fish tanks are still kept at the right temp. As I said this is being used in our 10 gallon tank. It's just short enough not to hit the bottom and I really like how the heater tells you the temp of the water. It's also really easy to operate and adjust the temp. if needed. It seems much better than our old heater. It was wicked easy to set up and has been in the tank for about a month now.

I got this heater for 5 gallon aquarium for my betta fish... My fishie was frustrated, started flaring (by its nature its a fighting fish and has territory issues lol) by the red light of the heater. I found a way to overcome this.. I had to arrange the heater so that the reflection of the red light doesnt fall on the glass of aquarium. Now my fishie really loves this one! It keeps circling happily around the heater when I turn it on. The glass material of heater was easy to clean however the plastic part gets slimy and needed more cleaning... I wouldnt mind that as my fishie really loves it!

Zoo Med BA-2 Aqua Accents Light River Pebbles 0.5lb

Zoo Med BA-2 Aqua Accents Light River Pebbles 0.5lbThe gravel itself looks very nice and natural, but I never got to put it in my tank. When I got the container, it had been opened and was cracked, and was held together by scotch tape with "Broken" written across the top. Why would this seller send me a used, defective product? I didn't want to open the container more, but I could see that inside were split and broken pieces of gravel, some reduced to powder at the bottom. There were a few small shells mixed in, that were also broken. Lots of sharp edges. I was NOT going to risk putting that in my precious betta's tank!

I returned the product for a full refund. I might have asked for a replacement, but I did not trust the seller after they sent me a very clearly defective product. I may buy this in a store, but I will never buy from this seller again.

You should also note that it is a very small container, about half the size of a soda can, and the pebbles are really small. I imagine they would have been nice to have in my tank, but may have been a bit tough to clean.

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain HeadI bought this for our small outdoor fish pond. I don't know the exact size or volume, but it's about 3' x 4'. Our previous pump/filter had given out partly because it was too powerful for a tiny pond. This seems to be just right. It makes a nice little fountain & filters the water really well. (We used the fountain nozzle from our other pump/filter because we wanted a more traditional tiered fountain, but this kit includes the basic bubble and waterbell type water pattern.) We had clear water again after just one day. It has been a little over a month since we installed, and no problems. It's easy to clean, and at this price is such a great value.

UPDATE: It has now been a year and this pump is still working great. We kept it running all winter without the fountain part attached and it provided enough movement that our little pond didn't freeze solid and it kept our comets happy and healthy during this unbelievable winter! Now that it's warm out, it continues to keep the water crystal clear, doesn't clog over-easily and is easy to clean. I have not had the problem that others spoke of with the tab of the cover breaking off, but I also don't just try and rip it off. Very satisfied with this product! SECOND UPDATE: It has now been almost 2 years (and a very rough winter in the northeast!) and this pump is still working beautifully! My fish survived the winter as this kept the water moving even in the deep freezes we had. Great product!

Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head is exactly what I needed to clear that funky split-pea soup (algae-ridden) water in my Shubunkin, Comet and Koi ponds! Simple to use..., Has a very sturdy handle (convenient for lifting the unit out of the pond for cleaning). Takes about 2 minutes to hose off the 3 (very thick) filters and put the unit back in pond. The 190 gallons per hour "pump-suck" is quite powerful and quiet. My ponds were crystal clear in two days. I don't use the optional fountain head because I have spitters and waterfalls, already -not using it creates a very nice rippling agitation effect on the surface of the pond. Your neighbors will be in total awe. :) My fish are quite happy now that they can actually see me coming to feed them -and see their food pellets floating on the top of the water. Perfect! --Katharena Eiermann, 2007, the Realm of Existentialism -Presidential Hopeful

Buy Pondmaster PMK190 190gph Pump and Filter with Bonus Fountain Head Now

The pump works quite well and does create a nice spherical pattern. The head is adjustable so you can make different patterns. For example, it can also shoot jets out perpendicular to the head. There are no instructions for how to change the pattern and it's definitely not obvious, but you just have to rotate the very top of the head. The filter is very large and easy to access for cleaning.

I've tried to use solar-powered pumps and filters in my pond, but they're not powerful enough and tend to get clogged easily and break quickly. This is a much more powerful and sturdy pump with a far larger filter, so it should do the job much better. Definitely a good pump for the price.

this guy is rated a 7 on the durability scale. it actually lasted longer than the larger cassie the cow. but my hound mix did open it up fairly quickly and started pulling out the stuffing. i pulled out the rest and my two dogs played with it quite a bit after that.. but it's pretty much done now. stuffed animals just don't last very long with my dogs, even these ones that are suppose to be super durable and double stitched.
