Como Fish Tank White Plastic Air Valve Connector Inline Tubing 40 Pcs

Como Fish Tank White Plastic Air Valve Connector Inline Tubing 40 PcsThese worked as they are suppose to. A little tight to slide the plastic tubing on but thats the way its suppose to be. I thought I would break them by applying so much pressure to put the plastic tubing on by they didn't. This was the cheapest price I found online.

Teddy Tank Toy Accessories with Pink Acrylic Diamond Shaped Stones, 8.8-Ounce

Teddy Tank Toy Accessories with Pink Acrylic Diamond Shaped Stones, 8.8-OunceThe "stones" are too light to use a tank vacuum to clean because they get sucked up. I wanted to mix them with ordinary gravel in a tank but it did not work out so well. Maybe a better fit in something like a small beta vase where you would empty the whole thing out every time to clean.

General Cage-Dog Crate Divider Panel

Divider Panel for 204, 336, 404 General Premium Crates, 23.5' x 24.25', Black FinishThis divider has three spring-loaded clips making it very easy to attach but allowing it to hold quite nicely. Feels solid and has a nice finish. My only really minimal gripe is that it is available only in black whereas the crates are also available in white or gold.

Danner 12974 40-Watt Ultraviolet Lighting Replacement Bulb

Danner 12974 40-Watt Ultraviolet Lighting Replacement BulbThese bulbs have an average life span of barely 10 months of continual use. This is my third one and each before this has lasted roughly ten months. When the bulb is working it does a superb job of keeping the water clean. I have a 1900 gallon pond with a 1800 gph pump running through 2" pvc. The uv filter does a great job.

I have several uv lights and this bulb was completely compatible and works very well. I change them every 8 months so the great price here gave me a resource to buy my bulbs without gauging my pond budget.

Petco Fish Farm Aquatic Decor

Petco Fish Farm Aquatic DecorThis is a great addition to my cichlid tank and the fish love it. It had really quick shipping and arrived in perfect condition.

This review is for: Petco Fish Farm Aquatic Decor

Item arrived shattered into at least 20 pieces along the bottom of it. Item came wrapped in one layer of bubble wrap inside a box so small that the item's house roof made the top of the box protrude upwards. Item was not packaged with enough cushion-type packaging surrounding the breakable, plastic-type item, and the box was not big enough to prevent crushing from heavier items during shipment.

This item came directly from Petco, even though it was sold via the Amazon website.

I did receive a prompt and courteous refund.

Teddy Tank Honey Gold Bear Betta Fish Tank 8-Piece Premium Package

Teddy Tank Honey Gold Bear Betta Fish Tank 8-Piece Premium PackageOk so I admit I'm no expert on fish care in general*maybe* this tank would work for a small, sturdy goldfish or something. But I have owned two bettas now, and have a tendency to do a lot of research so from what I can tell, this tank would be inhumane to house a betta fish. Betta fish need two gallons MINIMUMbest is 3-5 or even more. Theyre tropical tooso a tank heater is a must unless your house averages 75 degrees anyway, and I dont see how you could easily stick one in there. Also a filter, unless you wanna do weekly water changes. Just no. Please do the right thing and dont buy this with the intent to stick a living animal in there.

Bettas need at least 5 gallons and a filter. Any fish kept in here won't last long. Here's a word to the poor saps who bought this. "If the Betta doesn't live for three to five years of its standard life span; chances are you are doing something wrong." Don't waste money on this, buy a five gallon tank for the same price.

Buy Teddy Tank Honey Gold Bear Betta Fish Tank 8-Piece Premium Package Now

This kind of product is terrible to advertise for fish care. No fish should be confined in such a small space because of how quickly disease and death can occur. Besides, Big aquariums are a much better decor for a home than a small overpriced bear than can kill a fish.

However, a creative use for this product is to fill it with gumballs or toys.

Danner Mag Drive Pump Model 7- 700 gph

Danner Mag Drive Pump Model 7- 700 gphUPDATE: I used to love these pumps and I probably still would if they would just stop breaking. the impeller on them is cheap die cast plastic that will break if you look at it wrong.

I have bought 7 of these pumps and only 1 still works. 5 of them broke in less than 3 months. sure I can buy a new impeller for >15 dollars. the last impeller I bought broke in less than 12 hours. I also stated below that I haven't been using the filters. I did not have much of a choice though because every filter, in the last year, has arrived broken. the impeller is made from a plastic that will shatter rather than bend. in all honesty the loss I took on these pumps was enough to make me stop using hydroponics.

MY ORIGINAL REVIEW:

great hydroponics pump!!

I've bought seven of these pumps and I absolutely love them and I've never had any reason to complain. most of the negative stuff I've read on other reviews seem really hard to believe. I do not use the filters and I will not be commenting on them. the pump is very solidly built and there is nothing about that can come loose. the kind they sell with the foam pre filter has a shorter power cord than the rigid filter version.

they sell replacement impellers in case you are sucking something through that could break it. without using a filter I've never had anything get stuck in it. I need a pump that can pump at least 7 feet into the air and only so many of these magnetic drive ones can do it. I bought a 400 GPH Active Aqua pump because it was about half the price and these 700 danners seem like overkill. the 400 could not handle the head feet and seems really cheaply made. but are useful if you don't need to pump more than a few feet off the ground.

I messed up one of the first danner pumps I bought by using it to drain a hole i was digging. the hole kept filling up with muddy water and I used the pump on a timer to keep it drained. it worked well for weeks. even with mud drying inside the pump. and then after a few weeks it stopped but that was a pretty ridiculous thing to put it through.

Very, Very loud external pump. It's louder than my two cooling fans and chiller together. Also this thing is very hot.

Daily Double Feeder II w/ FREE Fish Food

Daily Double Feeder II w/ FREE Fish FoodThis feeder worked okay while I was away for a week over the holidays. As some reviewers have written, the drum does have plastic snaps that you need to lift carefully but mine are still attached and working. You just need to be gentle. I imagine I could just tape the drum back on when they finally do break.

This is not a precision instrument, but that was okay. In fact I think the mechanism is the same as a little AA-battery travel-clock, but instead of the hands of a clock it turns a drum which you load with food. A scoop/chute inside the drum can be adjusted so that its angle scoops up a little more or less food on each rotation, depending on your needs. Then, as the drum rotates, that amount of food gets dropped out the chute end which you've carefully positioned over your tank through a couple of days of observation. You have to allow for an opening of a couple of inches in your hood because it drops the food all along the last couple of inches of its rotation, which is fine. Actually this came in handy because I was using it over a smaller tank and at the lowest portion setting it wasn't really working with my food mix, so I had to go with a higher portion setting which would have been way too much food for my small tank. Solution? Aiming the device so it dropped a bunch of the food to the side of the hood opening, just allowing some of it to fall into the tank. Definitely allow a couple of days' practice with the device before you go away. I placed a tin foil "cup" in the hole of my hood to catch the food at different settings and at different positions until I was happy with both the reliability of the scooping mechanism and the amount that was being caught in the cup (which would become the amount delivered to my fish once I removed it, but you have to experiment). I used two of these feeders on a couple of small 5 gallon tanks for a week, and all fish survived. One worked perfectly and the water was even clear upon my return. The other I'd aimed a little "off" and the water was cloudy (too much food delivered) but my fancy goldfish Mugsy was alive and well, just needed a partial water changed and a bunch of food vacuumed off the floor around his tank.

The device is probably of greater value to a larger tank where the full amount of food it dispenses reliably will be readily consumed by the larger number of fish. I did not get to use this in my 20 gallon tank as I had someone willing to check it and do feedings, but my sense is that it would have been fine there.

Final verdict? It works okay. Experiment till you know the device inside and out with your particular food and tank setup. It's not difficult, just time consuming because to see it actually operate you need to let it run at its own pace. (Turning it by hand gave me different results than watching it in action.) If you are torn between the reliability of an auto-feeder and a well-meaning fish sitter friend, set up the feeder to dispense the bare minimum to keep your tank alive, then have your friend check in, say twice a week with instructions on feeding one small portion each visit if the fish seem hungry and the water seems clear. (Although if you have such a friend, you may not even need to use a feeder at all.)

Remember, the feeder delivers food twice a day no matter what, so set the portions to half of what you want your fish to eat every day, and they get that twice each day (remember: clock mechanism).

Good luck!

I've been using these for about 10 years now, and they work very well.

Good for about 2 years.

Be careful opening food chamber as the plastic tabs are made very cheaply and will break if you bend to far.

Again,, it is made as about cheap as you can make a product but, it will rotate twice a day for about 2 years, and only on about 3 battery changes.

it's hard to tell if it's working, so i sometimes feed the fish. of course, this negates the purpose of the automatic feeder. i would not recommend it.

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 12-Inch by 1-Inch Hose, 5-Feet Length

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 12-Inch by 1-Inch Hose, 5-Feet Length**A must to have when you do your bi-weekly water change.

I was afraid of it sucking up my smaller fish, but it is not powerful enough to do this, however if I had, it has an in line basket so any larger particles do not pass through into the waste water. You would not believe how much "crud" settles into the bottom with the stones in your tank. The uptake head is oval in shape instead of round, so you cover twice the area in the same amount of time as the round one.

The siphon "pump" built inline works like a champ! Just a couple or 3 pumps and you've got siphon!!!

If you decide to purchase this, just be aware that when you are finished with each use, you need to take it apart and clean it, especially that in line filter basket of any large matter (like dead plant matter) do not let it sit uncleaned between uses as you may find that it will stink. It probably explains this in the directions, but with such a simple-use item, who bothers to read instructions??? (my bad)

this item was pretty nice. I got it because i broke my last one. it's hose is very long and nice. And it works for tanks up to 55 gallons. (i tested it)

For an item that did not cost me very much money, it is one of the most AMAZING things I've ever bought. As a tank vacuum it works beautifully. Need to do a water exchange on your tank? Just a couple squeezes and you can quickly siphon out however much water that you want. Totally cleaning your tank out? This siphon will get all but about a half tablespoon of the water out. Take a wash cloth, wipe out your tank, and your done! Literally in only a couple of minutes (for 10 gallon tank) from start to finish. I could not be happier. I recommend it to all fish enthusiasts. One thing I do have that makes it even easier is a plastic 6-gallon water jug; I put the hose in it, fill it to where it's still easy for me to carry, and dump it.

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Braided Bully Stick Dog Treat, 2-Pack

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Braided Bully Stick Dog Treat, 2-PackMy dog loves bully sticks, but he is not much of a chewer. I think the thinkness of the braid was just to much (he's a 60 pound lab mix). It was a great deal for what it is, but we're going back to plain old bully sticks for our picky pup.

My dog likes this. It keeps her busy for a while and she'll chew on it day after day until it's gone.

I gave one of these bully sticks to my year old lab and it was gone within 5 minutes. Usually bully sticks last her a long time. In fact, I often take the stick away and make it last for 2 chewing sessions. This stick was brittle and crumbled apart. I thought it might have been old, but the expiration date on the package was 2014. Rip off!!

These bully sticks are a great way to entertain the dog when he gets the chewing bug. The braided form is a little bit more of a challenge for him and he's loving every second of it. They do stink but so do all bully's. I'd recommend these over the straight ones any day as they take much longer to finish off.

Deep Blue Betta Tank 1 Gallon 2 Way w/Cover & Divider

Deep Blue Betta Tank 1 Gallon 2 Way w/Cover & DividerWe love this little glass tank which is roughly 8" x 5" x 8". It sits on our kitchen table, and is definately a conversation piece. The divider is glass and is removable. We do not utilize the divider, and simply have one fish in the tank. We decided to add a filter to make a better environment for the fish, and to aid with the cleaning process. We are using the Elite Mini filter, but the Tetra Whisper is another option for this little tank. Both filters have suction cups to hold them in place. The Elite Mini filter that we are using is adjustable so we can control the amount of current. We originally had the Mini Bow 1 tank/filter and the current was too strong for our fish. Our betta is much happier in this tank. We also added a Betta Stik made by Deep Blue to maintain the proper temperature. The cover is glass as well and typically sits flush. Since we have added the filter and heater, our cover rests propped up a little due to the tubes and cords. With the setup we are using, the cover collects some water from condensation, but it does not seep over the edges of the tank. The cover is removable as well if you decided to keep the tank without it on. We prefer the glass tank to the other acylic ones available because it will not get scratched so easy. The size is great because it is easy to transport to the sink for cleaning. This tank comes with a Five-Year Manufacturer Limited Warranty. Our betta is living in the lap of luxury and loves his palace. Just add some decorations and it is beautiful.

I have a Betta fish and this tank fish is big enough for him and his decorations. Best of all its easy to clean!

would recomed this for any one who want to have a Betta fish.

Buy Deep Blue Betta Tank 1 Gallon 2 Way w/Cover & Divider Now

I just got my product and I am so excited about it. It is so cute and the rocks and decorations that I am putting in it will just make it that much cuter. there is only one thing that i don't understand about it. It has a glass divider which is great as I have 2 bettas and we know what Betta's do when they are together and there is the divet on the top of the tank to slide the glass divider in and you can see the divet at the bottom of the tank where it is supposed to slide in ther but the glass is on top of the divet so you can access that divet to finish the slide and secure the divider? Kind of weird. It appears that all is sealed so it can't be accessed. If anyone has figured out something that don't know, let me know =) I am hoping that when I put the rocks and water in it that is won't move back and forth all over the place. I didn't want to use gravel, just the marbles but I may have to use gravel if I can't get the divider to stay in place? That is the only thing that I see is a problem, everything else looks great. Can't wait to give my betta's their Valentines present later today.

I assumed this would be too small for 2 betta fish but it is perfect. There is plenty of space for them both and they don't bother with each other. Honestly we bought 2 males to see if they would fight through the glass, but they are both calm and because they can see each other they flare up and their colors are so beautiful. I would highly recommend this aquarium!

Boyd Enterprises ABE16707 Marine Vitachem for Aquarium, 4-OunceI can't speak for long term of the product but 4 years later I wouldn't buy anything else. It will help Your Fish eat more even picky eaters, It helps them to remain healthy and if They do fall prey to a illness it helps w/ a quick recovery. Not that it's a cure but it builds up their immune system shortly after the first dose added to tank. I soak their food 2x's a week as well. It is a great Product!!!!!!

I first got this before trying other products. I did not notice a improvement nor did I notice any detrimental effects from this product. Our fish seemed to get more picky after feeding food soaked in this. I am not sure if it has a taste they don't like or it was just different. Did not have this issue with selcon soaked food.

Loving Pets Dolce Dish Dog Bowl, Small, 1 Pint, Merlot

Loving Pets Dolce Dish Dog Bowl, Small, 1 Pint, MerlotI bought 3 different colors of these bowls, one for each of my dogs. It is kind of funny but each of them picked the color of the bowl that they eat out of. What we like about them is that the stainless bowl pops out for easy cleaning. The snap on rim keeps the bowl from tipping and spilling which eliminates a lot of messes.

This bowl is great for our Pug, she doesn't have to chase it all over like she did her last bpwl. It stays put very well. I love that the stainless dish is removeable and can be placed in the dishwasher. The only thing I don't like is that the bowl is so hard to get out of the holder. I have to give it all my oomph, then it generally finally pops and goes flying, clattering across the floor. I wish it was a little easier to remove.
