Bought these not knowing how long one lasts (the place i bought my filter from stopped carrying them and i didn't want to have to need one and not have it.)I've cleaned my original one a few times now and it doesn't show any signs of needing replaced yet.

Fluval Flora Stainless Steel Aquatic Plant Scissors - 9.80-inches
A MUST BUY!These scissors are just what I wanted to trim up my aquatic plants. They are nice being SS that I don't have to worry about rust. They are very sharp and make a nice clean cut on the plants.

I was immediately impressed with the heft of these, I guess I expected them to feel thin and light. The work well for trimming plants that grow too tall, and are quite comfortable to use. I just wipe them off with a dry cloth after using and hang them from a hook in the cabinet under my aquarium. I've noticed no signs of spotting or corrosion on them so far, in the few months I've had them. Glad I bought these instead of a cheap pair that might not last.Read Best Reviews of Fluval Flora Stainless Steel Aquatic Plant Scissors - 9.80-inches Here
I like the length of these, good for using with big , sticky plants. I was disappointed that the cutting part wasn't more delicate.Want Fluval Flora Stainless Steel Aquatic Plant Scissors - 9.80-inches Discount?
good price compared to most and build is decent. I wish it was curved though. Otherwise a great pair of scissors and waterproofTuesday, July 15, 2014
AquaTop Aquarium Heater Digital Dual Display- 100W
I bought a submersible thermometer to double check this device...and numbers on each match.
This is everything I ever wanted in a heater!
Buy AquaTop Aquarium Heater Digital Dual Display- 100W Now
I have 15 of these heaters from 100w to 300w. I have six aquariums with two of these heaters in each tank and one in each of the three water change buckets. The best feature is the dual display for reading the desired temperature versus actual. I also use glass thermometers to double check temperature. I like being able to see both of the heaters from across the room and check / compare temperatures.Tips: Never rely on one heater for any aquarium. Figure out the total wattage and then buy two heaters where each one is about 60% of the required wattage. Stuff fails and this will help protect your fish from a heater that fails to heat or gets stuck on. This will also give you time to notice the problem and replace a failed heater.

Made it 8 months and then started flashing 99 constantly with no heat. Had high hopes with it's remote sensor and easy set. Now it's going in the trash.Want AquaTop Aquarium Heater Digital Dual Display- 100W Discount?
Great idea, but after 6 months or so product fails. Bought 11 of them 3 went in the garbage-8 were sent back to aqua-top with no response yet. Read 90 deg start to flash and can not reset. Even if you unplug and plug back in.Stick with old school products!Monday, July 14, 2014
Coastal Pet Products DCP6140114BLK Adjustable Strap with Metal Buckle for Dogs, 5/8-Inch, Black
This collar is wonderful. It looks good, and fits great. The nylon part of the collar is 5/8" wide, about 2 mm thick, and rugged. The metal buckle is about 3/4" wide and 1.5" long (the length is measured from the tip of one end to the tip of the other end; it really doesn't look that big, because the nylon collar loops through each end; the visible part of the buckle is about 7/8"). The buckle catch mechanism works smoothly.
For my dog, I have the collar adjusted/tightened about 2/3's of the way (when I remove it from my dog and measure it as adjusted for my dog, it is 10.5 inches long); so, if I wanted to make it smaller, I still have 1/3 of the collar left (and if I wanted to make it larger, there is 2/3's left); so, there is plenty of room to adjust it in the future (making it smaller or larger). I attached his tags to the nylon part of the collar using a small key ring (I didn't want to attach it to the D-ring----left that for the leash only). The D-ring to attach the leash is metal, and the buckle used to adjust the collar is metal. There is one plastic part on the collar (a piece that helps take-up the slack; if it were to break, it would not matter). Very well done.
PS: I don't understand the collar dimensions given in the "product features" and "product details" of this Amazon listing. Since the collar is adjustable, it could be made to be much longer than 11 inches. The width of 1.5 inches just does not make sense to me.
UPDATE
I found the tag; here is what it says:
Titan
small dog
10" to 14" adjustable collar with metal buckle
perfect for tie out
metal strength

Aquatic Life 72-Watt Light Aquarium Light, 48-Inch, White/Blue/Purple
Secondly, I picked up this unit in hopes that I might have found a replacement for my Finnex Ray2 Aquarium Day/Actinic LED Light, 48-Inch which had a bad habit of shocking me. Unfortunately, this unit produced far less light than the Finnex. If you'll notice, this unit only has 72 LEDs and as far as I could tell, they weren't the high-output LEDs either (the Finnex has around 380 HO LEDs). The color blend it produced was nice, but simply wasn't strong enough. On the plus side, where the Finnex's light is pretty concentrated, the lens domes on the Aquatic Life unit did allow for full coverage of my 12" wide tank (ie: light hit everywhere). Also, while I'm not sure what exactly caused the LEDs to break on my unit, the aluminum housing felt like a tank. The glass shield did feel a bit flimsy like glass you'd fine in a picture frame. It was also a bit loose fitting and rattled when moving the unit around.
All-in-all, I'd call the unit "ok" it'd probably do well enough in a fish-only tank with additional spot lighting. However, I don't believe it puts out enough light to sustain coral growth.

Aqueon 06020 Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner, 4-Ounce
There are only a few products on the market that both filter tap water and moisturize for betta fish. I've been using this now for three weeks and the tear marks on my betta are closing and you can see new skin beginning to generate. I can't imagine being without this product.
Update: My fish tried to make a break for it and jumped into the sink. He got a bit torn up during the retrieval process. I was really upset at the way he looked when I got him back into his bowl. FYI, I clean the water every week. After two weeks his tears were repaired. Now, after using this for two months he looks like a new fish. This stuff is truly amazing. I can't say enough great things about this product.I could tell my betta was much happier once I started using this. I was using a sample of Zoo Med's water conditioner that came with his fish tank, and it didn't seem to be doing much. I switched to this once it came, and he started blowing bubble nests once I started putting it in the water!
However, it is a very small bottle, and goes fast, and if you keep buying new ones at $7 a bottle...it adds up. I have no complaints whatsoever about the product itself! I love it! But I switched to API stress coat conditioner, just because it's cheaper, comes in bigger bottles, and I use far less of it per gallon (1/2 mL of API per gallon vs. 5 mL of Aqueon per gallon.)

It only takes about five or six drops in a gallon of water. It's very convenient, it lasts a long time, and it's worth the low price.Read Best Reviews of Aqueon 06020 Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner, 4-Ounce Here
This is a good product. However, I have Amazon Prime so it was automatically sent to me via 2-day shipping which obviously involved air travel. When it arrived, the package was dripping fluid, as the top had burst due to the air pressure inside the plane and all the contents had leaked out. I returned the empty bottle and asked for a replacement, hoping it was just a fluke that all the liquid leaked out the first time. The replacement package arrived 2 days later with TWO bottles of the product, each one having leaked about half its fluid. I combined what was left into one bottle and was happy. But really Amazon, just ship it via UPS Ground next time.Want Aqueon 06020 Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner, 4-Ounce Discount?
When I first got my male betta, he had some pretty bad fin rot and was missing most of his lovely fins. Now I am able to change almost all of the water in his 3.5 Gal tank every week by adding 3 tsp of this conditioner with tap water and all his fins have grown back. I will continue to use this as long as I have a betta.Saturday, March 8, 2014

Vktech 10 Pcs 3W Extreme 460nm Royal Blue LED Plant Grow Light Bead Aquarium Fish Tank
They really are royal blue/460nm. Although they make things "glow"(like UV lights) more than any royal blue light I've had before.
First impressions: color is great, but I think these lights are hotter than other 20mm star LED's I've had before. I do have a heatsink on them, the average lifespan for these kind of LED's is 5ish years, I don't expect these to last that long, but if I get at least a year out of these, it will be worth the price. I'll update this in 6 months.
