Exo Terra Turtle Pebbles, Large
Buy Exo Terra Turtle Pebbles, Large Now
The Exo Terra Turtle Pebbles are a great addition to my turtle tank. They look really nice and because they are the real thing they make our turtle's enviroment genuine and eco friendly in appearance and environmental safety. The turtle seems to really like them too...he often swims down to move the pebbles to get his food that sank to the bottom...and, he sit down there a lot too...I think he likes the feel of the soft, rounded stones and pebbles on his underside...! ...???I'll probably be getting more of these when I move my turtle to a larger tank.
I recommend these to anyone for turtles, fresh water fish or other critters.
PWN.I loved this turtle gravel! At home, I have 2 red eared sliders and the gravel looked great in my tank! It was a bit pricey, but if you are willing to dedicate your money to the turtles,it was worth it! Actually, the bag was quite heavy at first, but I was surprised at how it fit in my tank and it looked GREAT. I would recommend this to anyone and I would be buying more soon.I underestimated the size off the bag. You really need to get a couple bags. I like the pebbles, but they are so expensive. I probably should have looked around a little more before purchasing. I didn't realize what I would need.

Penn Plax PBV1 7-Day Vacation Fish Feeder
After three days these things hadn't started to dissolve. So, I fed the bettas a little of their regular food figuring that when I am going to leave on vacation, I could drop these in a few days ahead, giving the tablets time to start working.
After another day on this trial run, I did notice the tablets starting to dissolve. I hoped the fish would eat it... But there was no sign of any of the stuff being eaten. The tablets disolved at different rates. Of the ten, a couple of them didn't seem to dissolve much at all in a week. One of my ten bettas died on the sixth day. Another looked very weak, and even after another week of normal care hasn't recovered to normal.
If I don't come up with a better solution before vacation, I will just feed them twice a day, rather than once a day for a couple days before leaving, then give them one last big feeding as I leave the house. I'll still drop these tablets in with them in case they will decide to eat some of it.
Once these things do dissolve, it just looks like colored slime on the battom of the bowl. I definitely will not buy again.

I've bought this feeder before one of my long weekends so I wouldn't have to worry about feeding my Betta. In a middle of the week I decided to make sure it works while I'm still home. I dropped it in aquarium. My first reaction was: "Why did it drown?"; Bettas are surface feeders. So, I thought, maybe the released food will float up? It didn't.Totally useless product.

Acurel LLC Waste and Debris Reducing Media Pad, Aquarium and Pond Filter Accessory, 10-Inch by 18-I
These are thicker and seem to hold their shape better. I traced around the filter pan and cut two new filters out of one piece. I'll use the other one when needed. My aquarium is looking good, so I have no complaints.Its floss, they had fast shipping. Great deal in the long run, I'm going to use this instead of the replacement packs.... Should work just fine.Am impressed with this product. Will continue using it in my freshwater tanks. This company has been in business for decades and really has a good filter product.I've been using the Accurel media pad in my Marina S20 filter for a couple of months. When cut to size, it easily slips into the filter's slots. It is stiff, which makes it very easy to slide into place. It also seems to have a tighter weave than other media pads, so it catches even the tiniest specs of debris. I slip it into the skinny intake slot so that the water has an initial filter before it hits the biomax and Purigen sections. In the far section of the filter, I use an Accurel Ammonia Reducing pad. The water in the fish tank remains perfectly clear and the fish remain healthy. Because of the stiffness and the density, I much prefer the Accurel white media to the standard blue and white style.I bought this for my ehiem 2028 and works great. I little on the stiff side so make sure you use good scissors when trimming.

K&H 8001 Thermo-Pond 3.0 Floating Pond 100-Watt De-Icer
Buy K&H 8001 Thermo-Pond 3.0 Floating Pond 100-Watt De-Icer Now
Overall I like the Thermopond and I'm going to try another one. It worked great for 3.5 years and has a long power cord. The company does honor their warranty and has fast turn around. The current temp is +5F so I need to do something fast. The modes of failure described elsewhere do seem to be common I've experienced both myself. From just failing to turn on to taking on water and sinking. When it it works it works great.I purchased my first one back in 2005 and it worked fine the first year, but the next year it didn't even turn on. The company quickly and without hassle sent me a replacement. The second unit had been working like a charm since 2006... It started working fine this season and then around Christmas 2009 the GFCI popped. I went out and noticed that the thermopond was listing to one side and semi-submerged. It was full of water and the plastic on the underside was deformed and puffed out.
I live in northern Vermont. Thermopond has kept a hole all winter no matter what the temp is (-10F a few years ago). The ice depth was ~10 inches last year and I could see down through the thermopond to the bottom of the pond. I pull it up to check on the fish and they swim over to see me through the hole. I also have a small winter pump (650gph) running as a homemade bubbler. The pump keeps a hole in the ice down to +15F (lower when there's a lot of snow holding the ground temp in). The two manage to keep a very large (25%) opening when the temps are in the upper 20's and mid-30's. My pond is about 2000 gals (3100gph summer pump). I also put out a whip a few years ago to hold the cord up out of the water and keep the thermopond from drifting around in the wind.
Thermopond works, just be prepared to buy a new one every 3 or 4 years ($14 per year). Weigh that with a lower electric bill and this does seem to be a good deal. I'm hoping they've improved the design since I last bought it.

I have a 220 gallon backyard pond, and live in Chicago. I used to use pumps to agitate the water and keep an open spot that way, but the small size pumps I used were not all that durable. I bought this de-icer for less then the price of a 300 GPH pump. I did read all the reviews, and some said the de-icer was not as durable as it should be, but most of those reviews were from a couple years back so I am thinking they have improved it.This de-icer has maintained a small opening in the ice all Winter. The temperature has dropped down to single digits for brief periods as well as some spells in the teens.
This product meets my needs quite well. Next Winter I will buy another one and save it as a back up de-icer and consider it insurance.

Using 100 watts could be costly to keep this plugged in all the time. I just ran an extension cord to my garage and turned it on when i noticed the water began to freeze. We had 4 inches of ice on our pond this last winter and this heater worked flawlessly.Thursday, February 6, 2014
Jardin Aquarium Bio Biochemical Ball for Pond Filter, 26mm, 20-Piece, Black
Because these are so textured and allow for full water flow through they're an absolute magnet for nitrifying bacteria. Hence, colonization is very fast and you'll see the results of this product in fewer ammonia spikes as well as more stabilized water parameters.
At this price they're beyond a bargain, plus this item is Prime eligible so add free shipping to boot.
My suggestion is too order more than you think you'll need remember to rinse them in aquarium water not tap water. The same applies to filter maintenance always rinse any filter media in water taken from the tank the filter serves. This protects all the healthy bacteria while getting rid of the gunk. Using tap water will kill your colonization on contact.
These are made to last indefinitely so there's never a reason to replace them. They're also great for seeding a new aquarium and shortening the cycle period.20 pieces do not go far in a pond pump container. Buy 4 or 5 bags to get an amount that will fill the container. I used the bag I got with existing filter items in my container and it works fine.

These guys are pretty small but I just bought them to make free shipping anyway. But was able to throw them into my canister filter in the spaces that are empty because I use spongies.For what it is it works great. I also found that pot scrubbers work in the same way and is a bit cheaper.Want Jardin Aquarium Bio Biochemical Ball for Pond Filter, 26mm, 20-Piece, Black Discount?

What a wonderful and highly quality product!! My little Baby J loves to play with this toy all the time! We have had it about a month and it still is holding up very well!! Thank you for such a great product!!!Read Best Reviews of Romp! Funny Farms Catnip Cat Toy Here
This little toy is cute and my cat loves playing with it. The little chicken lost one wing (feather) immediately. Otherwise, it seems to be holding up pretty well. My main complaint is that when I searched for "made in USA" this came up in the list and although I looked all over, I could not see anything saying exactly where it was made. Of course, when I received it, it was made China. I would not have purchased it if I had known for sure where it was made.Want Romp! Funny Farms Catnip Cat Toy Discount?
First off, I have to say that this whole line of toys is some of the cutestI have seen in ages! Both the cat and the dog lines will bring a smile to your face!
For this particular toy, the Turkey Trot, it makes you smile right away.
I am a sucker for that crazy eye look on cartoon or toy characters.
(Think Ed from Lion King!)
We thought this would be a sure-fire hit because this is not only a toy on a stick
(what cat doesn't love it when their humans dangle stuff from sticks for them to swat
at?), but it has feather wings. (We have a few other stick-style toys, so this is an
additional one.)
True to form, our feather-holic cat liked this toy for a while, and tried to de-wing it the first night.
Our usual stick-toy fanatic wasn't so impressed. We had to drag the toy across her back a
few times for her to even give it a second look. She finally made a few feeble pokes at it.
Not what I had hoped for!
So, we left it on the floor for them to sniff thoroughly, so they'd know what they were dealing
with we thought maybe it was just that it was not familiar. It's been a few days now, and the
general thoughts are "Eh" from both cats. We can force one to swat at it just by annoying her
to pieces with it, but then she walks away. I am going to try to leave the turkey in some catnip
for a few days and see if that helps. There was no scent at all to the toy, so although it says
there is catnip in it, it is either a miniscule amount or it is just very old.
On the plus side, it looks well-made, and it really does have a "cute" factor for the humans.

This product was broken on arrival, and I'm not surprised now that I see it in person. The "rock" is only about 1/4 an inch thick, and is more so some ceramic material than actual rock. The packaging it arrived in was very bad as well, with a single layer of bubble wrap, in a very small box.Blue lobster likes to hide under this.

Tetra Usa STS25907 4-Piece Interlock Stone, Large
I purchased 2 sets to build a small platform for my 18month old eastern spiny softshell turtle. The "stones' are lightweight and smooth so they won't scratch your animal. The idea is great you can configure the stones for the space and the animal. It is compatible with the reptofilter and the prodcut can be used in wet or dry environments.
Cons: pegs stick out, float. Not enough holes in "stones" limits
configurations, costly to build a large enough structure.
The set comes with 4 "Stones" one large, 2 medium one small and have 1,2, or 3 holes depending on stone size which limits configuration. The pegs stick up above the stones even after snapping off the extra and they float. You have to buy lots of sets in order to get a large enough build to make it useful. It would be nice if the manufacturer offered sets with all one size "stones" i.e. 4 large stones.
User Suggestions: For dry environments manually cut off the pegs a little shorter than the top of the stone so they don't stick up. For wet environments ditch the pegs and use aquarium safe glue for a permanent set up.
