Barrons Books Aquarium Fish Handbook

Helpful book on aquarium fish. My grandson checked this one out of the library after winning 5 goldfish at a carnival and needed information how to take care of them and make a tank that would be healthy. He requested this book for his birthday after he kept renewing the original from the library.

It is good. Shipping was quick and happy with my purchase

This is an informative book that my 17 year old son has found to be most helpful in choosing the fish that he wants in his tanks.

Coastal Pet 46341 ODH12 Lazer Brite Reflective Adjustable Dog Collar, Adjusts from 8-12-Inch and 3/

We have 5 small dogs and work with dog rescue. These are the best collars. We live in the country with a big fenced yard, and the added visibility of the collar is perfect for us. I would guess it could work nicely for walking on city streets as well and I'd buy the harnesses to go with them. We've bought the small and the medium sized collar. The narrower small collar does get lost in long hair a bit, but they are still perfect!

General Cage-Soft-Sided Dog Crate - Tan

Our 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.

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

Kordon/Oasis (Novalek) AKD33456 Amquel Plus for Aquarium, 16-Ounce

When I first started keeping goldfish, I mysteriously lost several fish. I know now I was making all kinds of mistakes common to amateurs. One mistake I made was to assume that all water treatments that claimed to make tap water safe would do the trick. After several of my kiddos died, I asked for help from the owner of my local pet store. This is not a Petco or a Petsmart, but a real mom-and-pop place. The owners really care about their animals.

The store owner told me that years ago when he was first starting out, his fish kept dying. He had a water sample tested independently, and the tester advised him that our local tap water was the second worst water sample he had ever tested. The pet store owner advised me to use Amquel Plus along with NovAqua. Since I have been using these products, I have lost no fish. Since moving to a different place (one with better water quality, I am happy to report), I have continued to use these products as they have been perfectly effective and reliable.

I've had fish tanks all my life, but got more serious about it in the past 8 years. I stumbled upon a great forum, and most of them recommended this product. I took a leap, and have been using it for the past 6 years.

Pros:

Seems to do a great job treating water it's a thankless job, but something has to do it.

Cons:

Smells bad (could be a pro for pranks?) but the smell is gone once you add the water.

I typically measure out the right amount, then dump it in the bottom of a 5 gallon water jug. I fill the jug, then use that to fill the tank. It's worked out great for me, both in planted and non-planted freshwater tanks. This one bottle should last you a while unless you have a huge (100g+) tank.

I purchased this item mainly to remove nitrate and nitrite. By testing it with a test kit, it doesn't do anything as it claims on the bottle. It probably does what it claims, but nothing that would cause a change on the after test. Oh, I also doubled the dosage, NOTHING.

It could be a great water conditioner, since after all those years of being in the business. But if it doesn't do what it claims, its a big fail to me.

Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs.

Maybe got an inch out of it on top of my dirt and flourite but i cant complain cuz thats all that i really wanted. dirt your tanks, get some real plants and watch the magic happen. kgladie on youtube to see the results.

After having this in my aquarium for about 3 months, the paint is coming off a lot of the gravel, and I see white spots all around my tank. I also noticed that the top of my tank appeared to have what I thought was black mold, but turned out to be paint from the rocks. I rinsed and turned each bag's contents repeatedly for 15 minutes before putting them into the aquarium which should have been sufficient.

Buy Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs. Now

The only reason I'd give this gravel 1 star is because of it's size and the attempted color. It's larger and uneven, which I was wanting. Otherwise, I am very disappointed. The base stone is white so it shows through the pretty frosted black coating, a lot. There are so many broken stones and partially coated that I am not achieving the look I want. Also, you have to rinse and rinse then rinse some more. Tons of tiny particals will float to the top and the first rinse or two, the water is yellow tinged.

All and all, for the money I wish I had paid a few dollars more and got my gravel elsewhere. I recommend you do.

Read Best Reviews of Petco Frosted Black Aquarium Gravel, 20 lbs. Here

I have a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium and this bag of gravel fits perfectly. It's more gray than blackwhich is good. The bottom seems shadowey but not too dark. My fish seem more comfortable near the bottom of the tank. I think maybe the dark colors give them a sense of protection.

This bag is VERY big. It's probably one of the biggest you could purchase at a pet store. So it's perfect for larger aquariums. They reccommend two pounds for every one gallon in an aquarium. So this bag could easily work for 2 five gallon aquariums or 1 ten gallon aquarium.

The color is classy and very pretty. It's very fish-safe. Since adding it to my tank my fish don't seem to have changed in health at all. If anything they seem calmer. Altogether it's made my aquarium look very classy. I highly reccommend this bag of gravel for anyone looking for affordable rocks for their freshwater aquarium.

All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch

I brought this hood from petco and it does fit my 10 gallon aquarium very will because my aquarium is also from aqueon so anyone out there if you want a cheap and great looking hood this is the one for you but remember it onloy fit 10 gallon aquarium

I did a lot of research on this it does fit a standard all-glass aquarium. You will need a set of clippers or a dremel to take off the excess "flashing" to make it fit, but with a little buzz, its no problem!

Buy All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch Now

I've owned nothing but All-Glass aquariums for almost 10 years, and in my experience, the plastic hoods are a waste of money. I've owned many, and have been impressed by none. The All-Glass VersaTops are far superior in my opinion.

1.) The deluxe hoods generally come with a single-tube strip light with no reflector, only cheap plastic above the bulb. The twin-tube strips will have a reflector to increase the efficiency of the bulb. Invest in at least a twin tube right away (make sure to get the twin-tube glass tops as well), especially with the deeper tanks. Quality of lighting is much better without having to break the bank with specialized lighting.

2.) The access panel is clumsy and the plastic hinged joints break or crack easily. Every one I've owned has been very noisy when opening/closing. Glass tops offer more visibility and a smoother range of motion (they're quiet and will last longer).

3.) More inconvenient to clean than a glass top. Visibility of water spots/mineral buildup very obvious if you don't maintain them properly. Usually takes a lot of scrubbing to remove the deposits completely.

4.) Oak accent coating on light strip tends to wear off easily.

5.) Hood allows for a greater rate of evaporation. Glass fits snugly into the lip of the aquarium and greatly reduces evaporation; i.e., you don't have to top-off the water frequently.

6.) Cutouts on the rear of the hood are inconvenient and if the outlined pattern is followed, leaves too much room for that occasional fish to escape (nobody wants carpet-critters) and restricts customization for placing equipment. Glass VersaTop has a clear plastic strip for the rear panel which is easy to cut (to your specifications, also helps with evaporation, leaves less room for jumping fish to escape) and is very easily replaced.

In my experience, the hoods are functional, but I've found glass to be far superior in performance, reliability, quality, appearance and maintenance (and I haven't broken one yet).

It fits perfectly, a very well made hood. The only problem is the light. I only wish they had put in a fluorescent light in instead of the sun replicating light. It turns the color tone of the tank green. It may not be a bad thing for some aquarists but, I have a few decorations in the tank that look better with a fluorescent glow light as opposed to a sun replicating light.

Exotic Environments Coral Castle Cavern Aquarium Ornament, 5-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch by 10-Inch

Be careful when you order this item. I ordered mine and it came broken, probably due to the long commute and insufficient protective packaging. I ordered a replacement and so far so good. The only thing is, the color in the picture, is not what the actual decoration looks like. In fact it is much darker, but nevertheless its still a nice decoration.

The picture is definitely not accurate as far as coloring. It's much darker in real life. Also the shape is a bit odd as it allows fish to hide too much. I thought my frogs had been eaten by my other fish but they were just hiding way up inside this castle.

Fluval Edge 25W Compact Heater

I bought this heater for my 5 gallon planted shrimp tank. It fits perfectly into the tank, hides well in a corner (it is black, straight and designed to fit into a corner) and hands-free. No adjustments necessary and keeps my tank temperature well within acceptable range. Has a dim red light that is only visible when tank light is off. I like it that it is completely submersible and unobtrusive. Many of my friends have been impressed with its sleek style and the fact that it really doesn't look like a heater. If I felt like hiding it even more I could put it near the bottom of the tank, but I choose to leave it upright. My shrimp like to hang out on the top of it near the water's surface.

For the price, you won't find a better submersible heater for a small tank. Many would like to be able to adjust the temperature on the heater, but I have never had a problem with it. The suction cups will change color, graying over time, but they stick well and I haven't had any trouble with it as I have with other heaters.

This gets 4 stars because there is no thermostat; otherwise this is a 5-star heater.

BUY THIS ON AMAZON!!! Aquarium stores have to mark it up considerably.

***UPDATE December 2011*** The heater stopped heating my tiny tank. As this was a serious problem for my warm-loving shrimp, I went to Petco and bought a heater with an adjustable thermostat and I hate to say it, but I like the cheap adjustable one better. I won't be buying another one of these heaters. I reduced the rating to reflect the fact that my heater did not last more than eight weeks.

The heater is designed to only adjust the aquarium temp no more than 7 degrees higher than the ambient air temp. This is stated plainly in the instructions. Works perfect on my 6 gallon Fluval tank. It is keeping the tank temp at 76 steady. We keep the thermostat in our house at 70. Very nice looking heater, blends in with the tank background perfectly.

Purchased for a 6 gallon fluval edge and have had for approximately 3 months. Liked the small size, look, and the fact that it was completely submersible.

It has been unable to maintain a temp over 74 with an air temp between 68 and 70. I added a digital air/water thermometer from my saltwater tank in addition to the cheap stick on thermometer on the glass to see if either wasn't working properly. I rarely see it running (based on the LED) and it seems most days the temp differential is between 2-4 degrees. I don't know if mine was bad or if it's just underpowered. Purchased a new 50w submersible/adjustable just now to see if I can actually get closer to 78.

Hagen Nutrafin Max Marine Flakes, 2.72-Ounce

I feed this to my freshwater and saltwater fish. It makes a great staple for my Discus and Angelfish, and the growth rate on my livebearers is fantastic. Does not foul the water and floats for a long time. The bright red coloration seems to send my fish into a frenzy.

Easy Life USPR 0500 ProFito Plant Fertilizer

I am very pleased with this product. It provides everything my plants need to look amazing.The plants are doing very well with the reds and pinks intensifying daily.

This is a terrific freshwater aquatic plant fertilizer. I found it on a small niche website and was happy to be able to order it via Amazon.

This is a comparable product to Seachem Flourish. I've used both. I lean a little bit toward favoring this over the Flourish, but I've never done a test between the two fertilizers.

One thing I do know: the anacharis I grow has TAKEN OFF since I started using this. I also grow Amazon sword plants, which are doing very well (they are sending up flower spikes and actually blooming), but they still need additional potassium and quite a lot of it, to keep from getting holes in the leaves. I am also growing sagittaria subdulata, which is doing very well, but not growing like a weed, rotala indica, which is growing like a weed, and some tall sagittaria which are also growing like weeds.

I also add Flourish excel, Flourish iron and Flourish potassium in addition to this but the plants were not "flourishing", pun intended, until I started using this.

I wish I had taken a photo of the difference this made in the anacharis. A lot of it was turning brown, but as soon as I started using this, BANG! green florets that are now 8 inches long or more. I will be selling the extras soon.

Here's what the bottle says: "Easy-Life Pro-Fito is a highly concentrated, comprehensive plant fertilizer for freshwater aquariums. It contains iron, potassium, manganese and many other vital elements... does not contain nitrates or phosphates."

This is a little more expensive than the Flourish in this size bottle. But if you go up to the 1000 ml bottle, this is only $18.54 and the Flourish is... not available on Amazon in the 1000ml size.

I have a bottle of Flourish so I will try to compare the two products' ingredients:

Total Nitrogen: (Flourish, .07%) (Pro-Fito .03%)

Available Phosphate: (Flourish, .01%) (Pro-Fito .00%)

Soluble Potash: (Flourish, .37%) (Pro-Fito .58%)

Iron: (Flourish, .32%) (Pro-Fito .24%)

Magnesium: (Flourish, .11%) (Pro-Fito .09%)

Boron: (Flourish, .009%) (Pro-Fito .008%)

Tetra Pond Bottom Drain

I decided to enlarge my Koi pond from 1600 gallons to 6000 gallons and after having a pond for several years, I decided to install two bottom drains under the pond to assist with keeping the water clear and free of fish waste. Using a skimmer that removes the top layer of water and anything floating is great, (I still have a skimmer attached) but having the bottom drain means that all the leaves and "mess" that settles on the bottom of the pond is now gone and I do not have to worry about renting or buying a vacuum to clean out the pond every year.

And for those of you out there that are concerned about putting a hole in the bottom of your pond, the design of these drains is well thought out and the potential for leaks is extremely low. I have 81 koi in my pond and I would never do anything that would jeapordize their survival. I have a cleaner pond and could not be happier.

I am using this for a drain in my small duck pond and it is working GREAT.

I am pumping water from floor level to a foot above table level about 10 feet away. With half the water rerouted and in every other way trying to limit the water flow, I still cycle my system about every 7 minutes (about 10 gallons).

Silent Air® B11 Series Battery Operated Aquarium Air Pumps, Single Outlet, UL Listed

It's not all that silent but it sure lasts a long time. An 8 hour blackout, no problem..all specimens survived in the salt water tank! Sweet....

I bought this since I live in Florida and the storms that come through here can leave people with no power. At first I had my doubts about this. So this is what I think of it.

Pros: small, uses D batteries, last a long time, works when power is out and delivers what it is supposed to do.

Cons: Loud. this thing is loud but I have an aquarium cabinet and I put it under there on the shelf and I never heard it when the power went off. So if you have it out in the open, it will be loud. Suggest placing a cloth or something underneath it so it will cut down on the noise.

Overall, I love it and will not be without one. I only gave it 4 stars because it is so loud. The rest is definitely a 5 star.

This product does exactly what it says it does. It is a good system for an emergency aquarium pump that cuts on automatically when the power cuts off. Very convenient when it happens while you are at work or away from the house. Some have said this model makes a lot of noise, but I do not think the fish will complain that they are getting airflow in an emergency. The noise is not that loud, IMO, and it can be muffled if placed inside a cabinet, such as those that most aquarium stands have. It takes two D batteries, not included. The tubing that comes with the product is only about 12 inches in length, so for my system, that was inadequate. But it accepts standard tubing that you can purchase at your local pet store. For a few bucks you can get about 6' of tubing.

In the 18 months I've had my current aquarium I've had two blackouts and this product has saved my fish each time. I've had no loss of life while it's been the sole source of aeration. I can't confirm the manufacturer claimed 48 hour run time because I've never had to run it that long. But it definitely runs at least 8 hours in my experience with no signs of slowing down, and with fresh batteries I don't doubt it would run an additional 40.

It will automatically detect a power outage and turn itself on, so you don't need to be there to activate it (just make sure the power switch is always set to "on"). You plug its power cord into an outlet and that is how it detects a loss of power. But the power cord neither powers the unit, nor can it charge the batteries. This is strictly a battery-operated back-up system and is not intended to be an everyday air pump. The supplied air line is absurdly short for most applications, so be sure to pick up your own. Also be sure to purchase and insert a back flow preventer (not included) into the air line to prevent water from flowing back into the pump, which will destroy it. I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 because it is absurdly loud, which is unacceptable in an era where most manufacturers have found a way to make these things whisper quiet. How loud is it? Even if you put this thing in a cabinet, if your aquarium is in your bedroom you would never be able to sleep. Despite that one complaint, every aquarium owner should have one of these. I consider it as essential as having a heater and filter.

EDIT: I was without power for a week after Hurricane Sandy. I can now confrim that it lasted 6 straight days on the same set of batteries I mentioned earlier in this review that ran 8 hours a year ago. A fresh set should give you at least 7 days. Outstanding.

Neutral Regulator, 500 g / 1.1 lbs

I have used this product in my tap water for about a month now... My tap water is around 8.2 to 8.4 and has a decent amount of dissolved solids. To get three gallons down to 7.4 to 7.6 it takes up to 3 times the amount recommended to get it there. My tank is around 6.8 to 7.0. I can only do small amount of water changes at a time (around 10% or so) or it will start to stress out the fish, I even had some that will try and jump out. I think this product would work great if you have and acidic water problem. I use this in my tank to help bring up the p.h. and off set the tannic acid from the wood. (It used to be around 6.5)

I was having great difficulty maintaining the Ph level in my aquariums. I had tried frequent water changes, putting shells in them, and other pieces of advice you find on the internet. Nothing worked. It was around 6 to not measurable by the test. Then someone at my LFS said to use this, and it fixed everything! I was hesitant because I don't like to use chemicals in my tanks other than Stress Coat to dechlorinate during water changes. I have not had an issue with ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates since I started using this, and the Ph levels are rock solid. I tried to fix the other chemical levels for about a year, but they straightened out after I leveled the Ph. I actually use less than the directions call for and test weekly to maintain it, but I never put any in except at water changes.

I let it disolve in a cup while I am doing the water change. Otherwise particles will float around the aquarium until they dissolve. Some users complain about the phosphorus causing algae growth, but I love plecos so this is never a problem for me and I can't really say if it does!
