PraziPro - 4 oz.- treats up to 480 Gallon

PraziPro - 4 oz.- treats up to 480 GallonThis product worked great in my reef tank, I didn't have to remove any of the corals, I didn't have to catch the fish that had worms.

All I did was apply the medication and with in 3 to 4 days I could see the fish was clearing up.

After the first dose the tapeworms and fluke symptoms my fish were experiencing all but dissapeared. It did not harm my snails, shrimp, plants or biological filtration. How can you go wrong?

It took just one treatment for me to notice a difference in two days. I purchased fish from two different stores in a new tank. Soon after a couple were not doing well and with a new tank I wasn't sure which fish caused the sickness. I ended up treating the entire tank (removing the carbon) and withing a few days everyone looked great!

This is actually my second order (first was a mini bottle) 75 gallon tank.

This is a very powerful and safe product...BUT be prepared for the skimmer to NOT work for over a week. This stuff takes a long time to break down to say the least. Tons of bubbles and over skimm first. The product does say no skimming but had no idea how long that period will be. On the other hand had an emergency with a purple tang and what looked like larger white ulcers out of the blue in over 9 years of perfect health and it was gone in a day with this. So worth having availible.

This one is for parasitic infection. Flukes and worms, ich, and so forth. Examine new fish with a magnifying glass before putting them in the community tank.

Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 10-Inch

Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 10-InchI bought the 10" light to replace my dual T5 fixture. The good price, small size, with a generous quantity of LED for the size all convinced me to try this brand and light. It was packed well and was VERY Bright, to my eye it was brighter than my Dual T5's. I was a little worried with them being 7000k, but it doesn't look more blue than I think it should. It has been on the tank for over a week(almost two) as of writing this review and I've seen no slowdown in new growth with my plants, the stem plants are actually starting to grow faster with this light. I would recommend the light and will be trying the Ray2 HO led fixture on my next tank. I will update in a couple months to let you know how the light works in the long term. For now it gets 5 stars.

Tank info: 15g column, Walstad setup, Co2 injection, fully planted, HOB filter, 10" Rayfuge light.

Great little aquarium light which i use on the refugium below. Small row of blue surrounded by white LEDs. The switches on each end turn on one set or the others. Only has a single plug so you can't setup it set on times to cycle through daw, day, evening lighting. I just use it opposite to the main tank lights. The light is strong enough and keeps my mangrove plants growing and happy. Definitely well worth the cost. Light, portable and durable. It fits perfect on my ProFlex Sump Model 1.

Only wish it has dual plug to cycle lighting.

This tiny reef light was a lot brighter than I expected. My corals are more happy!!! This product exceeded my expectations.

Want Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 10-Inch Discount?

I was looking for a LED alternative to modify my 28G Nano cube from a HID lamp to LED. I purchased two lights and these 10" lights fit the space available and are saving me a fortune in electricity now that I am using a few watts compared to 175w. Also the tank seems to be much clearer now that the light balance is different, corals are happy and the color of the fish is great. I am also looking forward to saving on the summers electric bill as I will not be running the chiller this year since these lights covert little to heat.

Drum Fish Bowl

Imagine Gold Llc AIMGFB8S Drum Bowl 2.5galI wanted to update now that I've learned more about proper betta care and have seen the transformation in my own fish from a few simple tweaks in the way I take care of them. I posted before implying that a heater isn't needed if you keep your house warm. I've since learned that bettas really need to be in water around 80 degrees F for their health and wellness. So I would get a heater and monitor the temperature with a thermometer. Also, I HIGHLY recommend you buy a filter for this bowl. There are several on the market that would work great in this tank. I highly recommend the Red Sea Art Deco Filter, which is what I've used. Anyway, while I now keep my betta in a 6.6 gallon bookshelf aquarium made by Petco, I still recommend this bowl for anyone who finds the smaller size appealing. Just make sure to get a heater and filter too. :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got this because it was the biggest fish bowl I could find that wasn't really expensive. It's hard to imagine what 2.5 gallons looks like, so I was actually a little surprised how big it was. Made me feel bad about the bowl I was keeping my betta in before. Anyway, if you're intent upon getting an unfiltered bowl, this is the absolute best choice for your fish and for you. Be sure to change at least a cup or two of water everyday since there is no other filtration, and keep the bowl in the warmest room in your house.

I bought this for my betta and he loves it. It works great, it's the perfect size for him and it's fairly easy to clean. It's also the largest bowl I could find and it is great for someone who likes to have decorations.

Although they look grey in the photo, there is nothing dark, tinted, at all about this bowl. Perfectly crystal clear. I ordered 4 of them for my bettas and I LOVE THEM!! They are a great size for me to be able to do twice weekly water changes and still have room for lots of tank decorations. They are, indeed heavy when filled with water, but that's to be expected in any bowl, and this plastic itself is very light. In the vendor's image, there also appears to be some strange indentations on the bowl-I don't know what those are. Mine are beautiful. The drum shape means my thermometers, heaters, and betta beds can all suction to the flat sides, and that less substrate is needed than in a rectangular tank. And for the price, you can't beat it!!! Do yourself a favor and get a scrubbing pad made for acrylic tanks, so you don't scratch the plastic.

Kent Marine Nano Reef Parts A and B

Kent Marine 00858 Nano Reef Parts A and B, 16-Ounce BottlesI love this mix, although you have to remember to put the B complex in 5 minutes later. I love the results and haven't had happier corals. Complete complex for a beginners tank, loved the easy application and indications. Super easy for beginners.

I can't comment yet on the product effectiveness, but shipping leaves a bit to be desired. Each bottle has a foil seal under the cap, but one of them was completely separated and the cap was not very tight. Whether this was due to the manufacturer packing, Amazon's shipping, or warehouse handling is unknown. There was a small amount of leakage and the solution dried into a white crusty wet substance on the bottle...kinda like condensed salt creep you would find on a reef setup.

I bought this product because some of the levels were off in my newly set up 16 gallon nano reef. After a few days of use, everything buffered itself to within acceptable levels. Been using it every day for several weeks. Coral has grown and expanded, looks very healthy. Even have 2 natually occuring frags already from frogspawn and Kenya Tree Coral.

I use this for both of my tanks.. a 28g and a 20g. I have never had an issue with it. I've read reviews that where negitive, and say to use higher priced brands.. I have sps, lps, nps, and softies in my tank and they all have good growth, my levels are always steady and within perfect range of where they are supposed to be. Why spend double on the other stuff when this works just as well?

Want Kent Marine Nano Reef Parts A and B Discount?

This 2 part supplement is just perfect. Better coral growth and coloration. Same with fish. Everything in the 29g reef tank "pop's". My parameters are consistently on target. Don't even need to dose daily after everything is in check. Has NO effect on protein skimmer as well. I feel very "safe" using Kent Marine Nano Reefs part A & B.

All Glass Aquarium AAG29607 Versa Top, 72bf

All Glass Aquarium AAG29607 Versa Top, 72bfThe 72 gallon bow front Aqueon Versa Top came to me from Ozbo and in excellent condition. The top I received is different than the picture. It is actually split in half from front to back instead of the single lid as shown in order to fit the center brace. That is a good thing as the center brace in the Aqueon 72 gallon bow front aquarium I have has a rabbit that it sits in. I had to attach two included handles and cut the back strip to fit my plumbing which is normal. I'm very please with its construction and fit. Would definitely order from Amazon, Ozbo, and Aqueon again.

Product arrived in great shape. It's actuallly two pieces so it's easier to handle. It's exactly what I wanted and looks great.

Buy All Glass Aquarium AAG29607 Versa Top, 72bf Now

Like many other reviewers have commented, this is not one glass topit comes in two pieces, but fits the 72 gallon bowfront perfectly, and it's better that it comes in two piecesone side can have complete coverage, while the other side can leave room for air tubing/filters. Unfortunately, like a couple of other reviewers on here, I had the bad experience of shoddy packagingwhen it arrived, all of the 'padding' in the package was on one side. Upon opening the package I discovered one of the sides (the opposite side of the one with all the padding, so clearly that padding helps) was shattered. This is a very disconcerting thing when you spend this much money on a product (poor college student here, so this is a big deal for me). That said, the side that was not shattered fit perfectly and looked quite good. It's because, excluding shoddy packaging, it's a good product, on top of the fact that returning things to amazon is about the easiest thing in the world (I didn't even have to leave my apartmentjust repacked the top in the original packaging, clicked the option for amazon to contact UPS, and printed the return labelnext day UPS shows up, and day after that I had my refund in my accounttwo days total, it was kind of amazing). So the ease of return, along w/the knowledge that it is a good product, led me to the 3 star review. I have gone ahead and tried re-ordering it, hoping for better results this time. I will update w/the condition of the second package. Really, if you are looking for a glass top for your aquarium, if you order directly through amazon they are so good w/returns that the only reason not to give it a try (in my book) is if you are in urgent need of a top right awayif you have time, give it a chance, returns are super easy and free.

The first one shipped was undeliverable, so without even requesting they immediately shipped a replacement. Replacement, amazingly, arrived intact. I have never, ever seen worse packaging and this is why the first one got damaged. Whoever packed it put the box containing the lid on the bottom of a huge box and loosely filled it with yards of crumpled paper. The box was crushed when delivered and I took photos of it before opening, fearing the worst, but somehow it survived intact.

The lid fits my 72 gallon bow front tank perfectly....it is actually four pieces of glass (they do not include or ship the center support) and is an ideal replacement. For the price I should have purchased this long ago.

Cliff Unit - Large - 14 in. x 4 in. x 7 in.

Cliff Unit - Large - 14 in. x 4 in. x 7 in.The quality is very high and strong. I've purchased ornaments from the local pet store only to drop them outside while cleaning and have them crack and break. This ornament is made of a very strong and durable material that I have no fear of cracking or breaking. It looks great in my tank and my fish love living in it. My golden algae eater even burrows under it and likes to hide there while my cichlids use the main part to hide. Very pleased with this product.

Marina Slim Filter Carbon Plus Ceramic Cartridge - 3-Pack

Marina Slim Filter Carbon Plus Ceramic Cartridge - 3-PackThese filter cartridges work well. They have a good amount of Carbon in them and trap a bunch of dirt.

Don't replace them all at the same time. Even thought the sponge on the intake holds a large colony of beneficial bacteria, a lot resides in the filters as well. So give it a couple weeks between replacing each cartridge.

When I purchased this, it was $5 per pack (free standard shipping). It looks like it is now a Prime item, but the price has gone up to over $6 (still not extremely expensive considering they need to be changed about once every 2 weeks). The product itself works great, and fits the filter for the tank I purchased. So far no complaints.

These filters are perfect for small fish tanks. If you use as instructed the water will not become murky. I change one every week, which always keeps a new one in there. Amazon has them for a better price than my local pet supply store. Highly recommend!

Sunken Gardens Shipwreck Bow / Lge.

Sunken Gardens Shipwreck Bow / Lge.this looks great in my tank... i have a 70 gallon vertical style with cichlids and this was the final touch... love the plants that come attached to give it the "buried at the bottom but life must grow on" look... a lot cheaper on here than at retail stores... petco wanted i believe 55 for this...

In one of several aquariums I maintain in my home, I went with a shipwreck theme when choosing decor. This shipwreck is a lovely addition, and it matches nicely a separate item, the broken stern.

The piece certainly evokes the bottom-of-the-sea atmosphere I'd hoped to create. It's even a little eerie in its stark silence, with jagged holes in the hull hinting at some terrible ocean tragedy long ago. Of course, the holes also provide ample room for fish to swim, and the hollow interior is a great place for them to hide.

Decorating an aquarium is mostly about individual taste, so this won't mean much to people who're going with another theme. Still, shipwreck buffs will find this a good piece to bring home to your favorite piscine environment.

R2 Fish School Complete Fish Training Kit

R2 Fish School Complete Fish Training KitGot the training kit and think it is pure genius. I have been in the professional animal training world for 35 years. I specialized in elephants and exotic animals . I learned operant conditioning at an early stage in my career and was able to use this knowledge to improve my understanding of training theories and applications in training for more humane results.

I agree with the other reviews that this kit is complete and was put together with real some real indepth thought behind it. The DVD is so easy to follow and the pieces almost self explainatory in the way they snap together.

This kit is super for parents just wanting to interact with their children. The kit would be wonderful also for teachers wanting an in classroom project. A Shrine Hospital treating kids or a day care could easily have a mascot for the children and teach the fish for fun as well as entertainment.

Where I see the real value in the R2 Fish School trainig kit is teaching adults though. I know many adults would think they are beyond a fish training kit .In my years of teaching and consulting on behavioral modification in the Zoo world I could have definately used this kit to expand peoples understanding of operant conditioning and learning theory. There seems to be a new wave of people involved in what is known as clicker training . There are some trainers even holding seminars to share these techniques. One noted expert has newcomers to the field of operant conditioniong train chickens so the students can learn the theory and application hands on in a class room. The fish could replace the chicken and is easier to house, clean and care for in many enviorments than are chickens.I know you can get more reinforcements into a chicken but each of these animals has its individual benifits to training it. Training this little fish demonstrates most of all that animals can and wil learn with out physical coercion. No bridle or bit, no choke chain or leash . Just you your intelect and the use of positive reinforcements to accomplish a wide range behaviors you never thought a fish could do.

If you want a fun productive, interactive, and worthwhile training tool this is it.It is not just for kids.

You clicker trainers out their interested in this R2 fish kit may take note. This kit does not have a clicker included .Those of you who would want to use this to teach adults could use a slight single tap on the side of the glass when pressenting a food reinforcement . This taping noise association quickly would replace the clicker as a secondary reinforcer or bridging stimulus.

Do not be surprised if you see this in the Sea World gift shops soon.

Got mine Friday....already trained my Betta to swim through the hoop....Tunnel trick next. The DVD and manual are really easy to understand. The DVD is actually very entertaining....I'm sure my Betta won't be as successful as Comet but we'll give it a shot! The parts are very well made and well engineered. I recommend this product to any fish lover...its also great for kids educational & fun. My son can't wait to participate in our nightly training sessions!

R2 Fish School

I purchased the R2 Fish School to explore the possibility of Animal Assisted Therapy. With the advancement of microcontrollers and sensors it'll be possible to setup a tank that is interactive and gives feedback.

I've gone through a two year program that teaches you how to train your own assistance dog. Shane and I graduated four years ago and I use operant conditioning to improve upon current skills or teach new ones that we need.

I think the greatest benefit of the R2 Fish School kit is that it removes barriers of learning positive reinforcement that happens when you try to train a dog.

* Even though 90% of our dog's communication is through body language, we assume they understand full sentences, and get frustrated when they don't. We don't expect that with fish.

* We expect that dogs have the same learning curve as us, and get frustrated that it's ten times greater or that they'll chain together behaviors quicker. We don't expect that of fish.

* It's easy to get physical with the dog to put him in the right position. Can't do that with fish.

* The hardest thing for people to grasp about operant conditioning is that the animal is the operator, you are the vending machine. When the animal deposits the right change (behavior), you dispense the treat. You're forced to do that with fish.

If you want to become a better dog trainer, fish will help you get the techniques of operant conditioning faster. In my mind the cost of starting for scratch with a brand new tank, fish and R2 Fish School will save you a lot of frustration.

As other reviewers have pointed out there is a lot of value in the R2 Fish kit.

* 45 minute DVD that shows you the training techniques. Father and son Dean and Kyle Pmerleau developed the kit and Dean leads you through the process of using the kit and training the behaviors. Kyle provides comic relief to breakup the segments.

* 32 page booklet on how to use and assemble the equipment.

* Large Fish School Platform with holes to plug in the equipment

* Compact Weighted base

* Feeding Wand

* Feeding Wand extension

* Five 4.5 inch post

* One 6.5 inch post

* Two 5 inch Uprights with holes to create a goal post or limbo bar

* Cross bar for the upright post

* Expansion hoop connector & tubing so that you can create a variable size hoop for your fish to swim through

* 3 inch sheet of plastic to construct a tunnel

* 5 inch sheet of plastic to construct a tunnel

* Tunnel mount

* Two 1.5 inch tunnel straps

* Two 2.5 inch tunnel straps

* Retrieval & placement tool with a hook

* Retrieval & placement tool with a net

* Three different size soccer balls for your fish to push into the goal

* Soccer goal

* Soccer Goal Post Clips to help guide the ball into the net

* Football designed so that your fish can pick it up.

* Three different size fetch rings for your fish to retrieve

* Slalom Adapter

* Basketball that floats on the surface so that your fish can make a basket

* Basketball hoop with suction cup so that the hoop can be placed near the surface for the basket ball.

A lot of thought went into this kit. An example is the goal post clips that guide the soccer ball into the net. Without them the soccer ball could become trapped between the goal post and the training platform walls. It's important that you plan your training session so that the animal doesn't get frustrated. The goal post clips are an example of this technique.

I had known for a few years that it was possible to train fish, but had never taken the time to do it. Dean & Kyle took the time and a lot of thought and care went into the design of this kit. Operant conditioning isn't a way to control your pet, but a way of communicating.

My assistance dog Shane was considered un-adoptable by both the humane society and the Labrador rescue group. Everyone who adopted him found him to be too wild and demanding. But he passed his temperament test for the assistance dog school, he was given to me by the Labrador rescue foundation and I was told I couldn't give him back.

Operant conditioning saved his life and improved mine. I know from experience that if I had this kit back then it would have helped me get the training techniques faster.

I was given a goldfish from the fair a few months ago, and decided to try out the kit. It is amazing how quickly he learned and actually being able to interact with a fish. This kit got me so impassioned about the little guy that he now has a huge well maintained pen, four tank mates, and a much more engaged and responsible fish owner. All four of the goldfish (one is a black moor) do tricks now and through teaching the tricks I have learned about each of their "personalities". I am leaving the community tank behind for college, but I may buy a cichlid or bring one of the fantails with so I can have a real college pet and because the trained fish really are a hit with my friends.

Cat Mate Electromagnetic Cat Flap Brown

Cat Mate Electromagnetic Cat Flap BrownI have had a few of these doors over the years and find them to be consistently reliable. Eventually I have to replace them from use and dirt. The raccoons can still get their paws under the flap and come into the house, so I have to lock it at night. I really want a door that keeps raccoons out and lets my cat come and go at night, so I don't have to let him out every morning at 4am and back in again at 5:30 am... Still working on that though. The smaller door is good for cats up to 20lbs.

We needed a cat door for a new cedar garage door we were having installed on our home. Every pet door available was white which was wrong for our natural redwood home and the new cedar stained garage door. We were delighted to find Cat Mate Electromagnetic Cat Door came in a rich brown color. The cat door works like a charm, keeps out

raccoons, and our big Maine coon cat, Samuel, has no problem getting through it, and, the pet door doesn't ruin the appearance of our new cedar garage door.

As you can imagine, it is quite an odd sight and Milo has smacked Murphy a few times for being in his personal space but where there's a will, there's a way. My cat has found that way. Oh well.

Como Aquarium Decor Floating Plastic Fish Multicolor 5 Pcs

Como Aquarium Decor Floating Plastic Fish Multicolor 5 PcsThey float to the top and then are pushed down occasionally by the current from the filter. We just have a 2 gallon tank so it seemed that 5 was too much as 3 were stuck in a group on the top...when it's just 3, it's better. We've had bad luck with real fish so this is just what we needed!

Pros: Well painted, brightly colored, cheap, no maintenance, they float at different levels in the tank and move around in the water filter current, which adds to the realism. They also don't eat, poop, fight with each other or die. Ever!

Cons: None yet.

Other thoughts: Don't expect them to move around on their own with little motorized fins for your entertainment. Remember cheap (but good) decorations!

I'd read reviews on fish that were all exactly the same (i.e., they clump together), so I wanted a set with different fish. All tend to "swim" at the top except the angel fish (the white one), which migrates to the bottom and stays there. My daughter loves them, and has named them all. The bottom fin of the angel fish, though, tends to get stuck in the gravel at the bottom of the fish tank.

Mighty Toys Bug Series Lala the Ladybug Toy

Mighty Toys Bug Series Lala the Ladybug ToyI had seen these toys at my local pet store and they seemed like a great match for my dog. Sprocket is a coonhound/gs mix and quite the chewer. Toys don't last long in my house and he loves, loves the stuffed kind. These seemed durable and nearly impossible for him to rip through. Rather than pay full price at the pet store, I gave this one a try through amazon.com. It lasted one day before he had found the seem and ripped into it. It looked like a ladybug massacre in my living room. He completely eviscerated that thing within the hour. So, sadly, this was not the match for my guy. I have since found that hugglehounds work perfectly for him. They don't last forever, but they do tend to last the week which is a big improvement. Once he's torn them apart he still continues to carry around the carcass and play with it for some time. So I would suggest that those of you that extreme chewers...give the hugglehounds a try.
