Two Little Fishies Veggiemag Seaveggie Clip Accessory

Two Little Fishies Veggiemag Seaveggie Clip Accessorypurchased two. like others in the review mentioned, the magnet glue came undone before using it. because it was BRAND NEW unused, the company sent me a new one. in conversation with them, i found out:

* they realize this as a manufacture issue and "made it better" instead of having a blacking backing that houses the magnets, their improved version is white. however upon receiving the replacement the white wasnt too much better but it works

* i expected the magnet to slide like a magnetic algae cleaner but it doesn't. customer service says by design it is not suppose to. it would be nice to "slide" so you dont have to get your hand wet as you put the clip on the bottom of your deep (55g) tank.

3 stars because it does work after replacement. but does not meet my expectation.

if you want something that looks nice this is the item to get (providing the magnet casing doesnt break on you). but a DIY clip would've cost you under $2 and as effective.

all their item (see my review on magfox) are good idea but constructed poorly. its too bad.

edit: I wanted to give a better review but it fell apart even more. not only is the stick on the magnet side weak and prone to falling apart, so is the clip side! to make it worst things the plastic material is so slick jb weld comes right off. if jb weld doesnt work on it, i dont know what will

is made of multiple pieces glued together--the glue simply doesn't hold (on either the parts outside the tank or the parts inside the tank. Prob is that re-gluing can be a problem due the possibility of polluting the water in the tank.

Now I have a erector set of multiple pieces that make the item up and it is useless

A great little thing. My butterfly fish was nervous of it at first because it moves to the current of the water(firmly attached to the glass), but 1 day later had no hesitation going up to it.

I love this product when it works. Love it, love it, love it.

Unfortunately, they seem prone to two separate problems:

First, the glue attaching the white magnet to the black clip knob has come apart on every one that I've bought. Fortunately, some super glue or epoxy will ensure you only have to fix it once. Have some handy.

Second, the clip itself breaks after a few months of daily usage. It just gets brittle and snaps. Buy a whole bunch of the suction cup versions of the clip (much cheaper) as spares -the suction cups can be easily interchanged with the magnet holder.

I still use the product every day, but (especially for the price), I shouldn't have needed the epoxy or never-ending string of replacement clips.

This clip exceeded my expectations! Quite simply, it does the two things I need it to: Holds the pieces firmly in place so my fish can grace; Makes it extremely easy to get the clip out without even getting wet. From now on, I'll always use a magnetic clip.

Vibra-Flo® Air Pump; Mini

Vibra-Flo® Air Pump; MiniI'm using it in a 10 gallon tank and it perfectly fulfills its purpose. It aerates the tank, but doesn't create too much of a current which was my intent. With bigger, stronger pumps the current was bubbling too much like boiling water. Regarding the noise it's like any other pump. I've never had one that's quiet. However, I haven't had this pump long enough to evaluate it's endurance over a long time.

I bought this as a replacement for my broken Tetra Whisper air pump, and this does a great job. I have a 1 1/2 gallon tank and this pump is not too strong, yet it does the job really well! It's REALLY quiet too! :) 5 stars for a great product!!

The only good things that I can say about this pump is that it looks nice and it's small in size. However, it sounds like a truck. It is so loud that while on the first floor of the house, you can still hear it on the second floor with the door closed. Compared to my boyfriends Tetra Whisper 100, this pump is very distracting and atleast 10 times louder.

Instant Ocean 77964 IO BIO-Spira (Marine), 8.45-Ounce, 250-ml

Instant Ocean 77964 IO BIO-Spira, 8.45-Ounce, 250-mlI was cycling a salt water tank using another brand of bacteria and after 4 weeks and no sign of nitrite and ammonia still off the scale, I thought I'd try another brand of bacteria. I can't believe I wasted a month on that expensive brand! After 2 days (!!!) of adding Bio Spira the cycle finally started! the ammonia was down to 8 and the nitrite up to 5. In 2 days! In only 7 days the ammonia and nitrites are 0. I only put in a single application too. This is an amazing product. Don't waste money on special Blend Micro Lift, get this instead because it really works.

I just set up a 125g saltwater reef aquarium and I was in a hurry to be able to stock it with cool pretty and different kinds of fish that are peaceful and also put coral in in about 6 months since they are more fragile and sensitive to any kind of change in water parameters. I was successful in adding some clowns, tangs, red flame angel, and others... etc.

Have used many additives to combat ammonia in a new tank. This turned everything around in 24hours. Long and the short is tank crashed due to stupid mistake, the QT wasn't ready then after 24hrs ammonia is at zero and I believe no fish loss. Amazing product and sorry say this but I have too. Noticed this is "made in Germany" so i'm not surprised it worked. Good German Egineering!

Round Pet Bed in Plaid

Snoozer Round Pillow Pet Bed Snoozer Round, All Fabric, X-Large, Odonnell PlaidI was looking for a pretty large round throw pillow for the kids to put on the floor to lay and sit on. An actual throw pillow of substantial size is pretty pricey. These are a bit large for a couch pillow but for children to sit and lay on the floor they are PERFECT especially the material. Awesome for kids. Material seems to be hair and water repellent. The print is a little Christmasy but it works. I can put them on the couch or even stack them on the floor out of the way. Pretty cool!

Marineland 31501 Screen, 2.5-Gallon

Marineland 31501 Screen, 2.5-GallonI got a small 2.5 gallon glass aquarium at my local Petco so my beta fish has a little more room to swim. Unfortunately, they don't sell their mesh tops there for a tank that small. So I went online and ordered this. They didn't give a lot of information about the product so I almost didn't order it, but it was the only 2.5 gallon cover I could find and for 8 bucks, what the heck. I'm glad I did. My tank is 12"L x 6"W x 8"H and this screen fits perfectly on the top. It doesn't sit over the edge or anything, fits right in the black plastic outline. It also has locking handles. Basically a knob with a little metal oval bit on the opposite end that twists around so when you set it on top if your tank, the metal bits tuck under the black plastic lip. Perfect so nothing hops out. As for the screen itself, it's 12" x 6" and it appears to be made of pretty sturdy metal for how small it is. Lots of holes. 5 stars because it does exactly what it needs to do and does it well.

I purchased this to cover my 2 gallon betta fish tank. It fits perfectly. I have a happy fish and now he can't jump out.

Hydor 75w Hydrokable Substrate Heater, 25' - for Aquariums 32-53 gal

Hydor 75w Hydrokable Substrate Heater, 25' - for Aquariums 32-53 galThis heater does at it is supposed to--heat via substrate. My big complaint is that it did not come with nearly enough suction cup attachments. I have a 55G tank and looping/winding the cable the way you're supposed to only half the tank was secured. It was basically impossible to find other suction cups for it. I had to order them from the company at a pretty ridiculous price--and even then predictably some of them didn't hold well. Fortunately they really only had to hold a couple minutes until I could get the sand/clay over it and then the weight of the substrate holds it down.

46 bow...with an internal heater working with it...78 is max temp. It is not adequate without assistance. If you want this as your main heater...try something else!

AquaClear 30 Foam

AquaClear 30 Foamgreat deal but the only thing that wasn't great was the packaging, there where huge holes in the package and it could have fallen out or someone working could have took it so this review gets 4 stars even though i paid a dollars for it

I love the Aquaclear filter and this sponge does a great job of keeping the water clear. However, there is no reason to replace the sponge unless your original one gets damaged. During your weekly water change, rinse and squeeze the sponge in the water you take from the aquarium. It'll last forever this way and you'll keep the beneficial bacteria in the tank where it's going to keep the ammonia and nitrites under control.

Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 20I with BioScrubber, 10 to 20-Gallon

Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 20I with BioScrubber, 10 to 20-GallonI bought this from a local supermarket (meijers) about 2 and a 1/2 years ago, when i first got my aquarium. it is lasted sense then with absolute zero problems. well, actually it does have the tendency to get small, weak, and/ or sick fish stock to the intake grill, but that can be expected from any good filter. It has kept the water crystle clear. When i first turned it on, it was so silent that i thought it was broken. If your a begining fish keeper, i strongly recomend this product.

I've been in the aquarium hobby 35 years, and this little filter out shines others for its ease of changing filter medium, water filtration and biological aides. I hung this on the rim of my 8 gallon goldfish bowl and it does a great job keeping the water clean and clear. Unlike other in tank filters, this one allows you to add your own activated carbon or other chemicals to the inside pocket of the filter. You can also clean the filter and add your own carbon which allows you to not have to put a new filter in every time you want to change it out. That's a money saver, which also allows for greater flexibility on what you want to use for the chemical filtration (ie. carbon, or ammo balls, or whatever inside the filter).

As others have mentioned, this filter is not an object of beauty. It is what it is an in tank filter. Those who don't want to see a large black plastic filter in their tank.... well, duh... get one that hangs on the outside of the tank!

Also, the filter moves quite a bit of water (which for my purposes is ideal). But, if you have small fish fry or sick fish, the intake of the filter is likely to be too strong and suck them into the filter. So be forewarned. If you have healthy fish and are looking for the best smallish in tank filter, it would be hard to find something better.

Buy Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 20I with BioScrubber, 10 to 20-Gallon Now

This thing is friggin massive. It takes up a ton of room in the tank. The reason why it's quiet is because the vibrations created by the motor are drowned out by the water around it. After all, it IS an internal filter, somewhat. The water flow is pretty strong. I ditched the flimsy biobags and black foam and just put in my own media instead (which is a lot cheaper and a hell of a lot easier to maintain). The advantages of the filter is that there's so much available space to put media, more than any equivalent HOB filter. the bad part is, it's in your tank and taking up valuable fish/tank space. It's sorta ugly, even though it's black.

hI have noticed this product is internal and best fit to my tanks(30 gallon) . Then, i have bought two of this product and it works perfectly for " one time only" . Every time, i tried to remodel and reset up my tank. They BROKE AFTER TAKE OUT AND PUT IT BACK. I try to disassemble(An electric engineering student) this filter to figure out what is going on; apparently, I did not find any wrong about this product why it BROKE. The power is no longer running and giving the sound. Thus, I have to return/exchange. Now, I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE TETRA INTERNAL FILTER AGAIN!!!!

Pondmaster 02920 20-Watt Ultra-Violet-Light Pond Water Clarifier

Pondmaster 02920 20-Watt Ultra-Violet-Light Pond Water ClarifierMy backyard pond has always given me trouble with severe algae. I would clean it out and the next day it was green again. I could never enjoy my fish, and many were even dying. A local pond builder recommended I try a UV light as a last resort. I did lots of research online looking for the best one, since I knew nothing about UV lights. All the reviews I read on the Pondmaster UV light were good, and it seemed like a well-built product. I liked the idea of being able to use it in or out of the water. The only question I couldn't find an answer to was how to actually set it up in my pond with my pump and waterfall. I finally found a website with some help, but I would have been more confident in buying if I had more information on installation. When I received the product I found it was very easy to assemble and install. After 4 days my pond went from deep green to pale gray, then each day it got more and more clear. After about one week my pond is clear and I am enjoying watching my fish again. I would strongly recommend this product to any pond owner. It was so easy to install, and has cut my pond maintenance down significantly. No more dumping algaecides and clarifiers in with my fish either.

I bought a 20W bulb for ~2000 gallon pond. It has been running a couple of weeks and the water is clearer, but not clear. Perhaps the bulb included was not up to par. My biggest beef is that the enclosed set up diagram was completely wrong. You will need to attach a 3/4" fitting on the light housing to the 1" inside diameter of the 1 1/4" hose from a typical pond pump. You will need two sets of 3/4" to 1" nalgene fittings and two-3/4" and two-1" hose clamps.

I bought the pondmaster 02920 as a new item. However, when

i received the shipment, it's a used one. I can clearly see

some minor scratches on the surface. The UV light has some

kind of plague at the connector end. Also, the packing was

loose.

I am really disappointed with this type of service from amazon.

Tank Terrace® Corner Terrace Kit for Aquariums & Terrariums

Tank Terrace® Corner Terrace Kit for Aquariums & TerrariumsWhen I ordered this I was under the assumption that this was an aquatic like shelf. Was very excited to spice it up with some plant decortion and allow my fish a place to explore. However, the only consern I have with this product is how sharp all the edges are. WOW! Like really sharp and I have fancy tailed gold fish with the large fan tails, so I can't put this in my tank, due to their fragile fis. Otherwise this is a nice product, offers a varity of options on how to put in your tank.

Would not recommend this product. It cut one of my Corydoras so badly that it died. Looking into filing the points or building my own terrace. Only gave it two stars because it does look fairly nice. Also there are almost no instructions, you have to figure out assembly on your own.

Just bought this for my turtles and was really let down. I was hoping to create an underwater resting area for my turtles, but the edges were so sharp, and i didn't want to damage their skin. This may work great for fish, but if you want to buy this for a turtle, i wouldn't.

I should start this review by saying I use this for my hermit crabs. They love to climb and they absolutely love this. If they could rate this product, they would give it a 5.

For me, this thing is a bit of a difficulty. The suction cups don't work as well as I would like and they have a hard time staying on. If you intend to put anything on it that will weight down the platform, then it has a really difficult time staying up. I actually had to put something beneath it so that it could handle the weight. I imagine that in water that might be a different story, but if you intend to use this for land, that is my experience.

The platform was a darker brown than I thought and it def. has a plastic look, however, for the price and purpose that's not a problem and once decorated it looks great! I won't buy another one, but it has done a pretty good job and I don't mind having to put something underneath it.

Want Tank Terrace® Corner Terrace Kit for Aquariums & Terrariums Discount?

I love the idea of this item. But what they didn't mention for installation is that you have to place it on a DRY tank and then fill the tank very slowly with water. If you do not, algae may grow in between the glass and the suction cups and drop the whole terrace to the bottom of your tank. It's not a fun clean up! haha

Otherwise, GREAT idea, fast shipping, loved the effect I got until the accident.

Good luck!
