Algaecontrol Water Conditioner

Tetra AlgaeControl, 1.69 oz., 50 mlWorks good! It keeps the green at bay in our tank. Hasn't harmed any fish. My ornaments are clean. What else is there to say about this product? It does what it in intended to do.

I was skeptical about this treatment. I always thought that it might harm the fish or not work well. I have to say, after our fish tank looked cloudy and then the algae took over, I was willing to try anything. After one treatment our tank was the best it had ever looked. I would recommend this to anyone who has a cloudy or algae infested tank.

This product works very well with help. I started having a great deal of algae in my tank a few months back despite frequent cleaning. The area where I have the tank gets direct sunlight no matter what I do. I noticed that this product took about 1 bottle over a period of 2 month to begin to work well. I used a brillow pad to scrub the rocks and other items in the tank free of algae and I had to apply the product directly to those items + the filter and let it sit before putting them back into the tank. The algae amount was less and less after each application when I would clean the tank again. I cleaned my tank every 14 days when this process started and within 2 months was able to get an extra week before cleaning.

It works slowly so you have to be patient but over time you realize it is working, would buy again

I have four fish tanks. It killed all fish in two of them. Since tanks are relatively small I added just two drops of this stuff into each. Two days later fish in two of the tanks were dead. However nothing happened to algae. This stuff needs to come with warning really

Lazer Brite Reflective Dog Leash, 6-Foot, Skull and Cross Bones

Lazer Brite Reflective Dog Leash, 6-Foot, Skull and Cross BonesBought collars and leashes for both dogs and a collar for the cat. Wonderfully bright. Great safety feature. Another plus: Manufactured USA!

The leash is okay but the reflective tape is only on one side, so I was disappointed to find that out when I received my item. Other than that, the product is good.

Kent Marine Purple Tech

Kent Marine 00800 Purple Tech, 8.7-Ounce BottlePurple stuff is soooo hard to get to develop in your tank, but this stuff helps it along a lot quicker. I love this stuff, couldn't have a purdy tank without it!

This or purple up, seem to do the same thing. You can achieve the same with patience and time in a stable system with proper cal and alk levels, or you can speed it up a bit with this stuff. I think it's worth using a supplement. Remember you need the coralline first, before this can help it spread. I would recommend it though.

I received the product only to find that the lid was barely on and the product had leaked into the bag. So I only got to use half of the product that I paid for. I notified Amazon and they never responded. The product works great, but I would recommend buying locally because apparently Amazon doesn't care about their packaging enough to respond.

I tried to use this while my tank was going through a cycle to give my coraline a boost and it started to work seen some color growing on my rock but then when I did my weekly water test I noticed my alkalinity was pretty high (14 ppm ) so I stopped using it for now if you have fish only then go for it but I had some coral I needed to put in the tank and didn't want to risk the high alk

WOW. Ok I have a 90 gallon tank, I did the recommended dose I followed instructions to the T, this stuff grew Everywhere, the rocks, sand and the glass. My husband had to take me to get more clean up crews to get it under control. Works great, however I would suggest using half the dose amount for the first few weeks.

Nylabone USA Rawhide Joint Health Glucosamine, 16-Count Pouch

Nylabone USA Rawhide Joint Health Glucosamine, 16-Count PouchMy dogs love these, especially the roast beef flavor. One of the dogs is allergic to chicken, so this is a very welcome treat!

These are definitely more of a treat than a chew. Since it had some rawhide, we weren't sure how long they would last, but the answer is not long. Our lab can demolish one in seconds. She really likes them though and they have been great to break in half and stick in a Kong.

External / Hang On Plastic Aquarium Fish Breeding Box Satellite L (new)

External / Hang On Plastic Aquarium Fish Breeding Box Satellite LIts about the biggest hang on breeder of any kind that I have seen. You could subdivide it into three compartments, but I wouldn't they are too small for an adult 2"to 3" fish to really be in. The day that I received this in the mail, I put a pregnant molly fish in it. The next day, I had 24 live fry, and the mother was swimming comfortably in it. I would give this a five star rating except for two faults. 1. One tiny plastic piece that locates the breeder to the tank was missing (its not critical, I have one of the two pieces and it seems alright, but for best operation you want both) and the other fault, is that when I attached my air pump to it and turned it on, the bubbles make quite a racket. But it provides plenty of aeration to the fry, and has these neat little gates so that no one gets pulled over the return water gate into the main tank. I will probably try a more powerful air pump and see if that quiets things down, or maybe take off the nozzle that directs water flow into the breeder. If I needed a second breeder tank, I'd take this over net breeders, or the suction cup breeders with no hesitation (I've tried both, and lost all or most of the fry, the net breeders rip too easily, and have other problems, and the plastic ones with suction cups the vent holes are too large for small fry). Solid 4 stars here.

Kent Marine Reef Salt Mix

Kent Marine 02111 Reef Salt Mix, 200 Gallon Mixthe only issue I had with the salt was some of the bags where broke open which I figured happened during shipment.

Kent marine salt is a high quality salt that mixes easily. My corals are doing great good growth great colors. On my LED pro tank I had to add buffers and alkalinity boosters but on all my other tanks are doing great without it. I hate adding suppliants to my tanks and with Kent I don't have to all parameters are in spec. the vender that sold this item provided quick delivery.

After trying several salt mixes over the years and finding them ALL lacking in some respect, I went online to get advice about the best mix for a very densely populated reef tank. The consensus seemed to point to Kent Marine Reef Salt Mix. After having used it for over 2 months, I must say that the consensus was right. It mixes instantly, has no residue and maintains remarkably high and consistent levels of calcium, magnesium and trace elements ( I have not had to supplement at all ).

And, most importantly, my animals are thriving.

Clearly this mix is the best and it isn't even the most expensive!

The best deal is the boxed salt. This salt is low cost. Will write more once I have fish in my tank. Come in 4 separate bags, about 14 lbs each.

The results have been outstanding, the bad odors have ceased and the room air is fresh. Now if I could only put a pouch of this on the back end of our dogs it would be perfect.

Bought this for a carbon filter on my tobacco bong. Works well and looks like I'll have enough activated carbon for years. awesome product

I use some to help on oders in the fridg after cleaning and it is keeping the smell pleasent. I am still researching the possible uses for this product along with reading it is helpful for brown recluse spider bite.

I use this for odor control in a home of smokers. I put this in the ashtrays and will use this to make satchels and vent filters. Its really good at masking the smell from smoke no matter what kind of smoke it is. Its the same thing they use in air filters. Also you can crush the little rocks to create more surface area which will help lengthen how long you can use it.

Ultimate Marine Aquariums

Ultimate Marine AquariumsEXCLLENT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE TEXTS AVAIBLE. IT NOT ONLY GIVES YOU THE PARAMETERS FOR EACH TANK DESCRIBED, IT HAS GREAT PICTURES OF EACH AQUARIUM.

If you like a lot of pictures of tanks that do not seem all that special anyway and if you don't really want to learn a ton of knowledge on aquarium salt water fish keeping, then get this book. This has to be one of the worst books I have ever bought. I really thought it was going to teach me something it didn't. I think any other book on the subject on Amazon would be a better buy. It had a pretty cover which really explains, do not judge a book by its cover.

All Glass Aquarium AAG29036 Versa Top, 36-Inch

All Glass Aquarium AAG29036 Versa Top, 36-InchFits my 38G (36in x 12in top) well. Back is a bit difficult to cut, so you'll need something heavier duty than standard office scissors to cut holes for filtration equipment.

If not for the 3 negative reviews below, this item would have 4.5 stars. MEASURE your tank before ordering and don't rely on a search engine to find it for you, use it to GUIDE you. Description is not exactly clear on the depth, so ask the vendor, or look it the item number up elsewhere.

I had ordered the glass top to replace an old one (the plastic hinge had deteriorated over the last ten years). The new glass top arrived completely shattered, so I called the company about it. The box had even been labeled "fragile" and "glass", but apparently the shipping company didn't take it too seriously. When I called Pet Solutions, they immediately sent out a replacement at no charge, which arrived the next day in perfect condition. I was happy with the quick replacement.

Loving Pets Dolce Dish Dog Bowl, Medium, 1 Quart, Merlot

Loving Pets Dolce Dish Dog Bowl, Medium, 1 Quart, MerlotI find these bowls both appealing to the eye and pocket. I bought two of them. One in the Merlot and one in Espresso. They are skid proof, easy to clean and light weight. And the price can't be beat!

Not exactly what I expected I thought the bowl would be ceramic its actually plastic but it's still good for what it's made for the color was actually way off its a brighter leaning towards red.

API Filstar XP Filter Filtration Foam 20, 2-Count

API Filstar XP Filter Filtration Foam 20, 2-CountIt's a filter, it will probably catch your fishes poop, any other questions? Fit's my Filstar XP3 well. Flippy floppy dune buggy chuggy!

I would find that a higher number of pore per inch would clog too fast and not provide adequate filtration. This sponge does the job perfectly and does not need to be changed. Will grow beneficial bacteria in the filter causing crystal clear aquarium water. Check out my channel for results.

Sandstone Rock Ledge Ornament

Sandstone Rock Ledge OrnamentI need something for my upside down catfish to sleep under. I thought this would be a lot bigger and have more room for fish to stay under it but the space under neath is pretty small. Also the color is alot lighter in the tank. In the picture its brownish/tan but in the water its yellow/gold. Its definitely the brightest thing in my tank,i have brownish stuff.

Acurel E250 Millimeter Pond Clarifier, Treats 2,650 Gallons

Acurel E250 Millimeter Pond Clarifier, Treats 2,650 GallonsThis stuff works! It took about two weeks and three treatments, I was beginning to lose hope, but one day I went out to the pond and I could see the bottom! We have a 100 gallon pond with waterfall, and the raccoons have been fouling it. It is perfectly clear now, and we have no filter in the pond, just the waterfall. It didn't harm the tadpoles or mosquitos (darn). No more green sludge.

It just took time to do it's work. I would recomend this to anyone that has a grungy pond.

Lee's Wooden Air Diffuser, 3-Inch, 2-Pack

Lee's Wooden Air Diffuser, 3-Inch, 2-PackGood product but life of product is very short. In my reef tank I use to use these in my skimmer. Lifetime of product was 3-4 month top. Does make a much better, and finer bubble then an air stone.

The more oxygen roots get the better, these do the job and for the price its a no brainer. Bubbles create its own water flow so no root rot.

SeaClear Bowfront Aquarium Combo

SeaClear Bowfront Aquarium ComboI purchased this combo directly through PetCo. The tank looks awesome set up and is very sturdy and easy to clean. The hood for it however is not well made and the light bulb slips out easily when light is picked up to feed or clean the tank. I have an Oscar that regularly hits the top of the tank and hood and knocks it so the light bulb itself slides out and goes off. The screws don't tighten enough to hold the bulb in and the bulb itself doesn't lock in place like most fluorescent tank bulbs. I ended up getting a separate light strip to use and that works well.

Wall Mount Fish Bowl Aquarium Tank Beta Goldfish

Wall Mount Fish Bowl Aquarium Tank Beta GoldfishI was really excited about finding this wall-mounted fish bowl, and when it arrived I was delighted. I got it set up (it was very easy to hang), added my beta and thought it looked fabulous. It seemed sturdily made, and truly was an attention-grabber and a conversations starter. However, after a short while I found myself looking at my beta, who hardly had room to turn around, and feeling pretty guilty about keeping a living creature in such a tiny world simply because I thought it was pretty to look (and contrary to popular belief, betas do not "like" living in cups because it mimics their natural habitat. This is a lie to get people to buy betas in cups). After a few weeks I broke down and bought a small aquarium. The beta is MUCH happier and frankly I am as well, because it addition to assuaging my guilt I find the beta much more interesting to watch now that he has room to spread his fins a bit. I now have aquatic plants in the wall-mounted bowl, and can enjoy its beauty in a guilt-free fashion. It's much better.

I didn't buy these on amazon but I did but 2 of them at a pet store. I gave this product 5 stars because you don't have to use them for its intended purpose. As soon as I saw these an idea popped into my head. While I would never put a fish in here ever I bought some river rocks, and tea light candles. I covered the bottom with the river rocks filled the "tank" half ways with water and put in the tea light. It looks so beautiful and brings a smile to my face when ever I walk by them. Sometimes I take out the candles and put in a fake flower, or put rose petals in them. So many possibilities with this product but should never be used for fish.

Buy Wall Mount Fish Bowl Aquarium Tank Beta Goldfish Now

everything i've looked up about Betta fish care is quite conflicting. my pet store i favor doesn't carry any books on them, and offers bowls/tanks that are smaller than this wall mount option. however i'm not a fan of thinking i'm constricting or torturing my poor fish so i tell myself that if he's never known anything other than the small plastic container he was in when i picked him off the shelf then he should be ecstatic about his wall mount. and i'm certainly no fish expert but he seems happy enough -we've had this tank for 3 weeks and when i come close he's interactive and seems to swim to meet me and will follow my finger, etc. i watch him check out, er, fight his reflection every day when the lighting is just right to create a mirror effect on the wall. i see him chilling and flitting in/out of his pretty silk plant. he's no mope.

my tank did not come w/ a nail, nor any rocks or plants. i used a 50-lb drywall anchor screw and head of the screw is small enough that i'm able to remove the tank as needed. i clean the tank every sunday. i'm waiting for the price to drop so i can pick up a few more -one for another fish and extras to make the cleaning more streamlined.

i have no complaints about the plastic itself, seems thick and sturdy enough, not flimsy or brittle.

i love this option as i don't have any sort of counter or shelf space for a tank and it keeps the cat's paws and tiny child hands out of it as well.

anyway i give it 4 stars b/c i didn't get any goodies like others claim. and also b/c there clearly needs to be a 2+ gallon option to stop all the controversy. (if i can mount a 70 pound tv on my wall i think we can figure out how to do a slightly bigger fish bowl.)

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter last week thinking it would be easy for her to take care of. I quickly realized the Betta was not active and felt there wasn't enough space to swim around. I kept him in there for one week and today purchased a 3 gallon tank with filter for the same price. I cannot believe the difference in the Betta! He is very active and is very happy now! It is even more fun for my daughter because you can put other aquarium decorations which he loves to swim in and out of! This bowl is not capable of maintaing a proper ecosystem for any fish. A 3 gallon tank is just as aesthetically pleasing and takes little room.
