API Ammonia Test Strips

Got a new tank and was trying to cycle (with Tetra SafeStart), using these strips to check for ammonia. But, scale resolution is not fine enough, but worse give very inaccurate results it was indicating nothing, but was actually 1.0! Test strip color changes dramatically depending upon what light you are looking at it under (especially fluorescent vs incandescent looked green vs light brown).

Skip this and go for the real dropper test kit it about the same price and waaaay more accurate.

It is not as accurate as a TEST KIT such as API Freshwater Master Test Kit.

Not always easy to read the strip.

External 5 Stage Canister Filter Pump Fish Tank Aquarium

Unbelievable filter( let alone ) for the price. I have dirty little cichlids in a 45 gal.....WOW! So Quiet all I can hear is the water rushing. The water looks"polished" after just a short while.Get this product if you have any water clarity issues. The unit came with all the filter media you need for a full start! Only problem was a dodgy instruction manual but if you have very basic commonsense you'll do fine. Took maybe 45 min to get set up perfectly!!!!!

I bought this filter because I needed to replace an older canister filter that just wasn't doing the job any longer. This unit was very easy to set up. Only issue that I ran into the priming the system. The big button on top wasn't pulling the water into the canister. After some thought, I took the input hose off of the canister & filled it with water from the tank. Once I had that line free of air, I connected it back to the canister. One pump later and the whole system took over on its own.

Two days into it, this filter is running with no leaks and is extremely quiet. The flow in the tank is very good and the clarity levels have increased dramatically. I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a canister filter and is serious about keeping thier tank clear and clean.

This is connected to a 75 gallon, freshwater, heavily planted tank. I was a little worried about the intake tube being so close to some of my plants. I had to change location of the intake tube a couple times and moved some driftwood to shield it from the leaves of some plants. Once that was accomplished, water flow was no problem.

In the very near future, I will be purchasing another of these canisters for my other tank.

I think this was marketed under Jebo and Odyssea filters. I looked up many reviews from years ago about this product.

I installed it a few weeks ago. NO leaks, VERY quiet.

The flow is not that great as is says, but they all rate the flow with no rise, no fiters, etc.

I did see a post that perhaps it could be used with a 220 current like they have in China. NOt sure if I'm going to try that yet.

Overall, I like it. It has a full 5 stages, and it's on my 125 gallon salt water tank, it's been on there about two weeks. I'm still cycling.

Look up all the old revies of the Jebo filters, looks exactly the same!

With my know how, I think it will run well for a while, it was about $80 shipped.

Great 5 stage filter for the money, but don't buy it for the flow rate. I checked ebay and this filter is rated at 520gph max. I'm measuring about 120gph with a 2.5 foot rise. I love the way the instructions are written though. Me no have leak. Me happy.

Perfecto Manufacturing APF33020 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 2.5-Gallon

I couldn't see it on the web site but i trusted the dealer enough that it would work. It is great. My cat can't drink the Fish tank water any more. She can just stare at the fish

I bought the Marineland 2.5 Gallon Glass Aquarium from a pet store, and it originally came with the glass canopy. However, one day while cleaning the tank (I use it as a fish tank) I broke the glass top and had to tape it together. Well tape can only do so much... so I looked into finding a replacement that didn't require me to get a custom cut piece of glass. Lucky I found this item.

It is the perfect size for the 2.5 Gallon Marineland Aquarium (11.5'' x 5.5'')! Fit like a glove.

You can tell that it is cut by another manufacture because the edges are a little rough (my original glass canopy made by Marineland had smoother straighter edges), but I didn't find this to be a problem. The glass canopy still looks excellent. Certainly much better than a taped together one.

And as a plus it comes with a clear plastic handle (about 2'' x 0.75'' x 0.5'') that sticks to the glass. But beware, once you but the handle on it won't come off. It is pretty much permanent. I like the handle, though, because it makes it easier to lift the top to feed the fish and clean the tank. Not to mention it is clear so it blends in well, and isn't an eye soar.

Now, lets just hope I don't break this one too.

Marineland Penguin Power Head

I purchased this to replaced an approx. 6 yr. old Penguin 660.

I was so pleased with the old powerhead I wanted to replace with same.

I was glad to see the model 660 was still available. The reliability and flexability would be hard to beat, especially at the price. They withstand being cloged, power outage, and being run "dry" during partial water chages. Definately a solid performer. Having tended over 60 aquiriums (salt and fresh)in the past at a local pet store and the personal use at home gives me a good idea of what works and what doesn't. This thing runs like a champ! Functional, flexable, tough and inexpensive.

I've used this pump now for about a year and it still works perfectly. Water circulation is outstanding. Only gripe I would have is that they need to be primed after every water change. For some reason, they hold the air inside the pump preventing water from flowing. Simple remedy is to just turn the unit upside down in the water for a few seconds to let the air out, once the water starts flowing again, just reinsert it back into the filter tube. Works perfect after that.

Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red

This particular product is not truly epoxy in that it WILL create a fit between two rocks (etc), but does NOT adhere them. It's consistency and adhesiveness is comparable to dried bubble gum, so keep that in mind. It is useful if used in conjunction with superglue, but at that point it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. I would not recommend it.

This is some good stuff. My recommendation is that you knead it longer than I did the first couple times. It comes with a green stick of puddy and a purple. The longer you knead it the quicker it sets up and the color is a deeper purple more resembling coraline algae and not a clump of puddy in your tank. Resealable container so you can cut off what you need and not worry it will dry out. Does break down a little meaning it fogs the salt water slightly but the protein skimmer takes care of all that pretty quickly.

Buy Two Little Fishies ATL44022 Aquastik, 2-Ounce, Red Now

AquaStik Epoxy is really good at some applications, and really not great at others. Firstly, it's fantastic at affixing your live rock in a reef tank or FOWLR. It's not so great at affixing a plug for a frag into the live rock unless you have holes that it can squish into. If you're trying to get a piece of coral on a plug stuck into a more difficult area, you're going to end up frustrated with this epoxy. It has a very weak hold and even when applied if you have larger fish (or in my case an eel) they will eventually knock the entire piece of coral free.

Another drawback is the smell and the fact you have to hand mix the putty together, if you have sensitive skin it will burn your fingers and be very uncomfortable. If you don't, you'll still notice the heat. It's very easy to over mix the epoxy in which case you've rendered it useless. The stench is incredible (as should be expected) so the entire application can become unpleasant. I tend to think that aquascaping should be an enjoyable thing, even if you're peppering in profanity because a rock is shifting or your coral doesn't look "just right". You don't need to muck it up with further with stinging fingers and an acrid smell.

A plus is that it does really mimic the appearance of purple/red coralline algae so it will blend in if your live rock is sufficiently covered. Another is that because of its impermanent nature in an active reef tank you are just using it long enough for coral to grow into/onto the rock. If you're looking for a better solution with more varied uses than a putty I'd suggest CorAffix Cyanoacrylate Adhesive or CorAffix Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Gel 0.7 oz..

Fish Bubble

The bowls do their job and to be honest, there really isn't anything wrong with them. However, you have to clean them every two weeks or they become disgusting and start to smell. I suppose that's how it is with all non-filtered fish bowls but these are not the easiest things to clean.

Again they're a good product. There is nothing wrong with the design or manufacture.

This fish bowl is WONDERFUL! It is super-easy to install, and really user-friendly. I like that the opening is a bit smaller than the bowl itself, to help prevent any disasters from acrobatic fish leaping. Ours is in our M.Bath, housing Little Bleu, a beautiful beta that matches the decor. The bowl reminds me of a submarine window, in reverse. I like that our family cat cannot get to the fish-cat can watch, but has no access whatsoever. I plan on getting another soon.

AquaTop 48" SkyLED Aquarium LED Light - 462 LEDs

The LED is the future, it saves energy and output more light than comparable traditional light. The LEDs make my fish tank look stellar! The color of my fish look great. I can see colors I did not see before. The LEDs shine all the way to the bottom of my tank and give the shimmer effect of natural daylight! At night I like to shut off the White LEDs and use the Blue and Red LEDs to give my tank a Moon-Lit effect. Keep in mind this light is for aquarium use, it can grow some plants but not coral.

This light is great! The colors it produces is amazing with its shimmer effects. The colors of my salt water fish pop from this light. I would definitely recommend this item.

Estes Permaglow Yellow 5lb Bag Aquarium Gravel

I never write reviews, but here's one I had to for future buyers. The picture shows a beautiful, consistent yellow gravel. This is not what arrived. Initially I thought they accidentally sent me green but it was what they called yellow. It was light, yellowish green, but definitely green. Also, it was not solidly painted, it was speckled with color that covered most of these rounded pebbles but was not solidly covered which makes it look cheap. I also didn't appreciate having to pull out twigs that counted as part of my 5lbs a bag, they were also poorly painted. I don't recommend this "yellow" or the product itself in any other color based on the quality I received.

I bought these thinking they were yellow.

Guess what? They are green, with a yellowish tint. So if you want yellow don't buy. If you want puke colored, then these are perfect for you!

API Accu-Clear Water Clarifier

This is the best product for keeping my aquarium sparkling. I happened on it by accident at a supply place once and had not been able to find it again around here. So I searched the web and found it. I will order it again and again, as long as I have a fish tank and the internet. Within minutes my tank looks like a brand new tank and my fish handle it well. Thank you for this opportunity to express my opinion. Keep on doing what your doing.

I've been using this product for about a year now. Every time I siphon the gravel in my tanks, a lot of detritus and waste gets kicked up into the water. Using this is pretty entertaining and functional when you put it in, it looks like a fog rolling through your tank. It's kinda surreal. After an hour or two (depending on how many gallons per hour your filter processes), it clears right up.

Note that this will NOT work on an unfiltered tank. This product functions by making the particles in the tank large and heavy enough to be picked up by the filter. Also, be very careful when measuring this out I don't know for sure if it's related, but every time I use this product and then test my water, my pH comes back a teensy bit high. Using too much may cause problems for pH-sensitive fish.

I've been using Api for my tanks for well over 17 years and i would never change their products for any other brand in the world. That said the Api Accu-Clear should become a staple in any aquarium/fish tank cabinet because you will never find anything that will work better than this.

First off for reviewers that complain about the Api Accu-Clear READ the instructions and be PATIENT.

Accu-Clear on average depending on how cloudy your water is, the chemicals/products you have used in the water, the fish, the set-up, the quality of water in your area, the size of your tank, the type of filter you are using,+++ in my experience for a 6 gallon tank for example you will see the water change within 30 minutes and its not a "good" change, it becomes even cloudier and for the first 12h it pretty much stays like that. I know you are going to worry about your fish DON'T they are fine. I know you are going to want to add more chemicals, etc. DON'T just wait everything will be fine. And most importantly i know you are going to want to do a water change be it 25% or 50% or the whole thing DO NOT do that either just be PATIENT and wait!! After about 15h or so you should start seeing your tanks water clear up but you will not see results until at least 24-36h again depending on everything i mention above.

I have tried multiple times throughout the years to use other brands but without exception each and every one of them have failed miserably simply put they just won't work!

I trust Api products with my eyes closed, i would highly recommend them to everyone and i definitely will be buying them for as long as i own tanks.

Zilla 09639 Night Black Light Halogen Bulb, 75-Watt

• Halogen delivers more light and heat with less power
• Compact design saves space, focuses light
• One bulb provides both radiant heat and light
• Step up to the convenience and cost savings of halogen

The item its self is fine, but I wanted to let everyone know that Amazon packages these poorly so you need to be warned!

These are lightbulbs, and they put them in a long and flat cardboard box with some small air packets to keep them from shifting around. But lightbulbs need protection from shock and impact, not just shifting around. These are expensive bulbs, and not designed to be opened until needed so I cant even verify the integrity of them now. Amazon is getting a little too fast and loose in efforts to grow big people need to stop and focus on the small details (you know, like packing fragile lightbulbs correctly.)

Marineland LED Aquarium Kit - 10 Gallon

We just got this tank recently, and so far we love it! First, we did not buy the tank from this seller, I found it for about half price at a local store. I am writing the review here because this is where I go for reviews.

The main reasons we got it was because we needed to get some humidity and a night light in our 2 year olds room. We had a 2.5 gallon that just wasn't cutting it. This tank will grow with him. It is your standard 10 gallon tank, but it has the bio wheel that filters all the water in the tank 10 times and hour giving it crystal clear water. I love the LED lights, the daylight setting is bright, much better, clearer, cleaner light than the tube lighting we have in our living room aquarium. The night time light is perfect for a nightlight The only downside that I can see is that the current created by the filter is pretty strong. There is a Betta in there now and she stays either behind the filter or in the cove that we put in there. There are ways to slow the wheel down a little if you needed to.

I have heard different things about the bio wheel, some say it is silent some say it is noisy. I don't think that it is silent, but it isn't unusually loud either. It is more noisy with the cover on then off. I think that this provides just enough white noise to help our son sleep. I don't need to have the white noise on the radio anymore.

All in all, great tank!

Loving Pets Vegitopia Sliced Apple Dog Treats, 4.5-Ounces

My one year old whippet, Bean, absolutely LOVES these treats. I used to get him apple treats that were wrapped with chicken jerky, but once I found out about the Chinese made chicken jerky health scare I stopped buying them. I couldn't find any similar treats made in the US, so when I found these I thought my pup might like them . The apples are from Chile, but I don't mind that. I think he likes these even more than the chicken wrapped ones! I used to buy him jerky wrapped banana treats as well and he liked those, so I also purchased the Vegitopia banana treats. For some reason he won't them at all (which is the first time that's ever happened with a treat) so I only get the apple kind now. Overall I'm happy that I found a healthy treat that isn't super expensive and that my puppy loves.

I feel these are expensive for what you get, but our dog loves them. I substitute these and the dried carrots you can also buy, for the more fatty snacks when she is walking around begging for a treat. I tear one in a couple pieces and she loves them.

Nina Ottosson DogFinder Interactive game

I got this as a Christmas gift for my Shetland Sheepdog to keep him occupied and non-destructive. It took him about 20 minutes to get through all of the little sliders, but he figured it out all the same (box says it's a "difficult" level). He seems to enjoy it, and hasn't lost interest yet, but I had some pretty good cookies in there too. I'm so glad that it seems pretty sturdy (although he only weighs 25lbs), and the bones are too big for him to chew and swallow. Might be an issue for larger dogs that would have to be watched with it. One minor annoyance is that it takes a while to set up, because you have to remove and place back each bone one by one. I feel like I'M the one being trained! Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this for people with herding dogs that need some entertainment.

Fun and exciting for our great Danes. The plastic has held up well for many uses. I've found it is easiest to hold the puzzle on my lap while they play so that it doesnt get flipped over by their monster paws. Great buy.

I ordered this to add to my cat's growing collection of Nina Ottosson toys. It is easy to vary the challenge level of this game by using more/less of the bones, silding them over or not, etc. This is step up from the "Dog Brick" game-which the cat can solve really quickly now.

The only draw back are the gaps along each "bone channel", which design wise probably makes it easier for the pet to slide the bone to reveal the treatbut small treats or kibbles easily fall through the gaps. About half of treats end up underneath the puzzle as the bones are slid around. I am going to try to fasten mesh along the bottom to keep the treats in the channel and off the floorwhich should fix it, but I would prefer having a solid, gap-free puzzle.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

1. Product slides on floor, maybe not so much on carpet. We have hard wood and the grips don't keep it in place well.

2. The plastic bones offer no real ability to grip, in case the dog primarily uses its mouth for this. My Pug uses her paws and is able to get them flipped up eventually, but my German Shepherd primarily uses his nose. Because GSD's noses angle down slightly from nose to bottom lip and the bones are so close together and have NO grip (slick plastic), he can't get them out. Simply putting a knob on them (like on a dresser) could have made a HUGE difference.

RARELY, if I only have a few bones in (and only one per slot, as one end of the slot is narrower, thus forcing the dog to figure out the puzzle by sliding the bone to the wider end to get it out) he can get one or two out.

My Pug is VERY treat motivated so she doesn't give up. My GSD either isn't as treat motivated or gets frustrated and gives up easily.

3. There are little slits/narrow "holes" on the sides of the slots where the bones slide in. The little treats get stuck in here sometimes and I have to pop them out to reward my Pug's efforts. Sometimes they slide between the slits and I have to pick the whole piece up so she can get the reward from under it.

4. It is annoying to assemble. As mentioned previously, the slots are narrower at one end. You have to remove each bone one at a time (can't just dump it upside down to load it up again [well, you can remove half this way, then slide the others to the wider end and dump upside down to remove the other half]) then set it back up one bone at a time. I realize it has to be done that way for the puzzle part of it to work, but it is very annoying.

Bottom line: I noticed several other people mentioned similar things and I wish I had listened. I basically wasted $20 on something I will not use again. I used plastic cups and hid treats under one and slowly moved them around and then had my dogs "pick" the correct one with better luck and less hassle, while still encouraging them to "think".

My GSD had more fun playing with the bones outside of the piece by sliding them across our hard wood floor than playing with this.\
