Perfecto Reflector Fluorescent Light Strip 20in Bl

Perfecto Reflector Fluorescent Light Strip 20in BlThis is a replacement hood lamp for my aquarium and it is great. Nice bright blub, easy on off switch, doesn't over heat, perfect size.

Works great, I have not had any problems. Have had for about 3-4 months now. Shipped out and recieved in a reasonable time.

Buy Perfecto Reflector Fluorescent Light Strip 20in Bl Now

My original fish tank was bought as a kit and it was difficult to find the exact replacement lamp sold separately. After purchasing this one, which is meant for a 10 gallon tank, I was a little disappointed that it didn't sit in its 'footing' properly on the hood-it is a bit long. However, it does work and is functional and doesn't look too out of place, so overall I am pleased.

Arrived quickly with no problems. The light itself is exactly what you'd expect--fits nicely. It is plastic, but well-represented in the picture. The bulb shines very bright white fluorescence, so just be aware that it may make some colors look washed out in your aquarium. Overall, though, I am pleased with this purchase.

Two Little Fishies ATLGP1RTG Goniopower Advanced Zooplankton Diet, 30gm

Two Little Fishies ATLGP1RTG Goniopower Advanced Zooplankton Diet, 30gmI was really torn giving this product 3 stars. It's a great coral food. It has many different size and variety of foods made into a powder like substance. My corals go absolutely crazy for it and can't get enough. Now here's the 3 star part. It's labeled Goniopower as in Goniopora. Or flower pot coral. There is one on the label as well. Well my Goniopora has yet to react to this food. It shrivels up n descends inside. Others may have different results as my Goniopora is a Stokesi species and is only a few years old.

This particular product is an excellent size for your tank or spoil your Betta. Amazon has some really great items to decorate your aquarium.

Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium

Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium, Black, 5-Feet WideI ordered this product about 9 months ago through Amazon, choosing to do so through Amazon for the free shipping. When I installed it and filled it up with water it leaked severely, apparently due to damage incurred during shipping. I contacted the manufacturer and I have to say that they responded well at that time. Because I had purchased it through Amazon, they told me that I would have to ship it back to Amazon(almost $200 to do so!), get a credit, and they would sell me another tank and deliver it. So far pretty reasonable. All of that went well. Amazon was great on crediting the return and Aquavista delivered my replacement unit as agreed. I bought the tank for my office wall and wanted to have a planted tank with slow moving fish. Because of the size of the tank and 2-lamp light array, low light plants are the only ones that you can plant but that didn't bother me. There were some issues. The two water pumps are high output, making the tank only suitable for fish found in faster moving water. I have a school of mixed danios, a few praecox rainbows, and a chinese algae eater in the tank and they are doing well. Slower fish such as gouramis, bettas, angels, or any lake fish would not be able to tolerate the amount of water movement in the tank. While cycling the tank and before buying the danios, I tried to find replacement pumps that had a lower water volume. The wattage was different that those that I could find on the market, so I contacted aquavista. They said that they could provide slower pumps, but never responded again when I attempted to purchase them from them. In addition, I've found that the automatic feeder fouls in a week or so from moisture and is useless. The T5 lamps as provided are no good for a planted tank (but great for growing algae). They are also of an odd wattage (28) and length ( 45.2"), making finding suitable replacements very difficult. My email to aquavista about 6500K replacement bulbs went unanswered. I did find the bulbs that I needed on line and finally found a seller that would sell less than a case of 40. ( They sell in lots of 10, but still better than having to buy a case.) Other than the truly crappy aftermarket support, and odd wattage of component parts, I do like the tank. It was the best option that I could find on the market for a wall mounted tank. Would I buy from them again? No.

The first month I had this product I was very pleased. It looked great on my wall, and besides the air pump being a little noisy I had zero complaints. Then the fuse blew. No big deal, I replaced it with a new. Then the fuse blew again, and again. Obviously something was wrong with the product, so I called customer service. They had me do all this testing to see what was wrong; again, makes sense. However, after doing everything they asked me to do, they basically told me "oh well". After threatening to write a bad review, they finally listened and I talked to the CEO of the company. He said he would take care of the issue (bad power supply unit) and send me a new part right away. It's been about three weeks since I talked to him. I've called about five times after that, with the boss being on vacation, manager busy, we'll call you back, etc etc. Still no power supply unit, all my fish have died in the aquarium because it's been off for well over a month now. Be very wary of this company; their one year warranty is a bunch of garbage and you'll be left with a black box on your wall and a lot of fish in your toilet bowl.

Having never owned an aquarium, when I came across AquaVista's Panoramic Aquarium, I knew it was the one I had to have. I called Aquavista to get some questions answered and they were great. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to address each question and sent pictures to clarify.

The unit is the show piece of my office-home theater, (so much for the 65 in Plasma 3D TV that was supposed to have that designation). It is truly a work of art. The unit arrived 1 day earlier than promised from Amazon. There were some issues due to how UPS shipped it and there was damage to the unit. Amazon has been wonderful in dealing with this and given it was not their fault, I could not ask for anything more from them.

Aquavista has provided exceptional customer service. All companies should model their customer service to match Aquavista's. They have done all that they can to make the unit right even though they did nothing wrong. They exemplify what customer service is all about. There are a couple of changes I would make to the system:

* The instruction manual should be a bit more specific on programing.

* The auto feeder should allow for every other day feeding.

Both of these are very minor annoyances.

The system is wonderful, fully automatic and is a stunning addition to any room you would add it to. I would recommend this to anyone that is considering an aquarium of any kind. Everyone that has seen mine now wants one. As soon as I can complete some other projects I will be adding a second one to the bedroom or exercise room.

I OWN an Aquavista aquarium, AquaVista 500, which is a smaller square tank less than 10 gal. The wall hanging aquariums are great decoration, do not require dedicated furniture & make for great conversational art work. The aquariums are easy to care for. Although 15mins might be optimistic, I spend more time enjoying the aquarium & my fish. Built-in & comes with everything: Water filter, air pump, heater, light. Add gravel fish & water & you're done. I have replaced the built-in air pump with a standard Tetra model, because the air pump was noticeably noisy. This was personal preference. But wired the replacement into the system power & control panel, so it runs as programed. Smaller 1.5" ' 2" fish are beautiful in this aquarium. Have 10 fish total, includes a plecostomus, which keeps the environment free of algae. Even have a couple of small plants & a log. They all seem happy, healthy & alive

Cheers !

I purchased an Aquavista 500 for a treatment room in my dental office. At first I had a few fish die and an algae problem. When I found a balance with 7 approx 1 inch fish and a plecostomus for the algae, it stabilized. I purchased and started a second one with no problem, and all has been well for over 6 months for both tanks. I feed the fish 3 times a week (2 minutes), exchange 1 gallon of water with the included siphon every 2 weeks (5 minutes max), and have changed the little filter strip about every 2 months (5 minutes). Nothing else, and patients marvel at how clean the tanks are every day! Many think the whole set-up is fake at first because they have never seen anything like it and it is soooo clean. I guess fish type choices are limited due to the size, but there are some pretty cool smaller fresh water fish, and you can see them all the time because of the tank's thin style. It was super easy to mount (30 minutes, maybe). I'll be purchasing the 5 or 6 foot version soon for my reception area.

Elite Thermostatic Heater

Elite Thermostatic Heater, 8-Inch/50-WattThe heater worked fine for 3 days. Then overnight it got stuck on and the temperature in my 29g tank was 95F. The $10 heater cost me $400 in coral and a new beautiful flame angel I had for about 3 weeks. I had the heater in the suction cup holders and it had not been bumped or damaged. This is a horrible product and should not be on the market to kill other people's livestock. I had just bought $150 in new coral, also. DON'T BUY THIS THERMOMETER!!!! BTW it is a crock of poo that Amazon makes us put a star on the product no matter how bad it is.

The heater is really good for my 39gal tank and actually I think it would be capable of heating a larger tank cause it can get my tank to 90 degrees no problem probably can go higher. I keep my tank at 80 though. The only bad thing is I have to fill my tank to the top to cover the water line of the heater and I like to leave my tank 2 inches of room. Also the glass is frail so be extra careful with it. Lastly the cord is short and I have to use extension cord to plug it in. Hope this info helps!

I bought two of these heaters, both after about a month and a half broke. There is something wrong with the thermostat in them, they both heated up red hot and the glass busted. I've never seen heaters do this before. Don't waste your money on these!

This Aquarium Water Heater does heat the water BUT its temperture probe location is 1/2" from the top of the unit. When you start with a clean Aquarium, for two days it works, then its sensor probe is no longer in the water (evaporation) but instead in the air above the water! How does it know what temperature the water is??? In order for you to make it work correctly you have to keep the water all the way to the top of the Aquarium ALL of the time, fill it every day.

This was a great value compared to what they cost in store. The only thing I don't like about it is it need a lid to cover the adjuster for the temp control. Kids and cats kept adjusting the temp.

Tetra Usa ATS25867 2nat Whisper 3/4/5 Strainer for Aquarium FilterI needed to replace the one from my Top Fin 60 filter.

I needed seven more words to submit.

Product is great, the pricing is a bit expensive. I mean 23 dollars for 9 feet of hosing? You can buy over 50ft of 1inch PVC tubing that fits the FX5 for nearly a quarter of the price. Would get five stars if the pricing was reasonable.

Tetra Whisper Power Filter 30, 30-Gallon

Tetra Whisper Power Filter 30, 30-GallonI've been buying Whisper aquarium products for a number of years and I have to tell you I couldn't be happier with them. They ARE the quietest products on the market. Put them on/in your fish tank and they run so quietly you won't even know they're there. And this power filter lives up to its name. It's super quiet and it filters the water just as it should, leaving it crystal clear (unless you have a bacteria problem and then the only cure for that is to treat your tank). I especially like the design of the bio bags. If you want to add more charcoal or some ammo chips to take care of an ammonia problem, just open them up and add them to the bag. I give this product an A+.

The Whisper 30 is dependable power filter. I use it in my 20 Gallon regular fish tank. I have 9 medium sized gold fish in it. It handles the load of cleaning well, I have to clean the filter once, and once in a while twice a week. Replacement parts are available & the motor runs cool, even under heavy load. The Whisper 30 is a durable filter & lasted where other brands have failed for me.

Buy Tetra Whisper Power Filter 30, 30-Gallon Now

Bought this pump for less than $15 to replace my Whisper 2 (old model) and it is very nice. They have not changed much in these pumps,....except for one vital thing. They made the width the over the edge of the tank narrower by about 1/4" and it did not fit over my tank lip and I ended up cracking one of the tubes. Upset at first,...but then i realized that the Impellar was a perfect fit for my old model and just replced it. The replacement impellar parts were about $14 anyway and it uses the same size large carbon cartridges.

Easy to review this one... I've used other brands of aquarium filters and this one is the 'BEST'. Quite frankly, it does the job better than any other I've used and is less expensive to operate as well. As an engineer myself, someone actually knew what they were doing when they designed this product.

Want Tetra Whisper Power Filter 30, 30-Gallon Discount?

I have used these filters for over 25 years. Have tried others...thinking they would be quieter, but, alas, NO, they aren't.

I use the 20 Gal. filter on my 10 gallon tank to keep things more clear.

Only negatives: it is still a loud motor...even more amplified by the fact that my tank is in a display bookcase, but one gets used to the ambient sound.

It is no worse than the motors on a Cats water fountain (since they are the same motor)...and those of you who have live bearing, small fish, such as guppies...will need to use a small hole type of cover over the bottom intake...as it can suck up the newborns, as well as African Frog eggs.

All in All...it is a GOOD Filter and only got 4 stars because of noise factor....I wish they could figure out a way to dampen it down some.

CAN'T beat the price at AMAZON compared to other outlets !!!

Neutral Regulator, 50 g / 1.8 oz

Neutral Regulator, 50 g / 1.8 ozI had a longtime problem with low pH (6.5) due to living in a mountain area and after using this product for a couple months, it finally brought the pH up into the neutral range (7.2). But I have to say that I don't know enough about the science of it all and that around the same time I had begun use of aquarium salt and Biotene (establishes beneficial colonies of bacteria, also available through Amazon). But whatever: Neutral Regulator was involved in solving my tank's chronic low pH.

There's not much to say about a glass cleaner it either works or doesn't. This one does work well, the magnets are very strong be careful not to get pinched accidentally. My only small little gripe is that I'd like other colors as the whitish color is one scares the fish, two visually unattractive if you leave it on all the time like I do. Lets get some black, dark green or dark grey. Other than that it's great. Also helps that it floats if it comes off.

Mighty Massive Rabbit Dog Toy, Brown

Mighty Massive Rabbit Dog Toy, BrownThe manufacturer brags about how the product is made. Oh the attention they pay to the construction of the seams. How they protect them. I gave the toy to my German Shorthair Pointer. One head shake of the toy and stuffing was showing Upon inspection, the seam attaching a front leg to the body had already failed. It is a simple single stitched seam. Wow, what ordinary construction. What a weak seam. And on top of that upon further inspection the thread did not really break. The seam failed due to poor workmanship. These are dog toys intended for larger dogs, I suggest the manufacturer actually watch a variety of dogs play with them. This is not rocket science.

Bought the pig Mighty Massive Piglet Dog Toy and a rabbit from a local Costco for my two destructive chewers. My Pug and Pomeranian usually destroys most toys within a day or two due to their tug of war and sharp teeth. These have no tears or rips into the material anywhere so far.

Pros

Very solidly made. Stitching feels reinforced like advertised to withstand their tugging

Except for the ears most parts are sewn into the main animal so it will be less likely to be ripped off in sections.

Fur on fabric is a good material that it doesn't come off when rubbed or scratched like some other toys.

Cons

Heavy hard for them to carry far (might be better for larger dogs with bigger mouths)

Squeaker is at an awkward place so humans and dogs have a hard time getting it to squeak.

I would not buy if paying amazon pricing, but at the deal found at costco it would be better than any other toy from the pet shop for that same price.

Our 20 pound corgi ripped the teeth off within five minutes and that was where she started pulling the stuffing out. It's been less than an hour and there's stuffing all over the room and she ripped the hair off its back too.

Fluval M Submersible Heater

Fluval M 150-Watt Submersible HeaterDon't be misled by the information on the packaging that says this heater should not be submersed completely. I called Fluval and was told that they were forced to put that in the instructions and on the unit for the sake of Canadian requirements. The unit is fully submersible and it keeps my aquarium at a more even temperature than any other heater I've purchased. In addition the temperature dial seems to be much more accurate. Good unit! Buy it!

This is a very nice heater. The reflective surface makes it blend in. It IS submersible and is about 12" long. Like all heaters, you have to tweak it to find out the precise setting .......... no problem. I recommend it.

Buy Fluval M Submersible Heater Now

First, I selected 2 days shipping through Amazon Prime and received this item exactly on time, in the afternoon of the second day. It was packaged in a box with bags of air. I appreciated that since this is a fragile product.

The first thing I noticed upon opening the box was that this heater is huge for the wattage. Mine is 50 watts, to be used in a 10 gallon aquarium, and it is almost exactly the same height as the aquarium itself. Then when I put it in the aquarium it became clear that the reflective surface of the heater serves only to make it MORE visible. It just looks like this gleaming shiny metal object in there, and doesn't really seem to actually reflect the colors surrounding it, but instead it reflects the aquarium light above. Because of this I decided to lay it against the bottom back of the aquarium so that it is obscured by plants, and the cord goes right up the seam of the aquarium where it isn't noticeable. If you're buying this for its subtlety, you'll be disappointed.

BUT, despite this, I am pleased with my purchase to far. It has been keeping my 10 gallon betta tank appropriately warm, within a degree of the setting and that's all I really care about. I was going to get a Hydor Theo but this was bit cheaper. It seems to perform just as well. Granted I have only had it for about a day and a half, but I will update my review if the performance changes.

In case anyone's wondering, the heater appears to be some sort of metal or metallic material encased in glass, so it is fragile like other glass heaters. It's not made of metal on the outside.

Finally, I wanted to dispel the myth that this heater is not fully submersible. Although there is a fill line on the heater, my research has shown that everyone who has called the company directly has been told that the heater can be fully submerged safely, and that the fill line was included only due to some sort of strange government regulation.

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

Thought I would edit and say this is still heating well for me. I've also moved it into a different tank, and was able to position it in such a way that it is not very visible. I'm uploading a picture for reference.

I purchased two of these for my 110 gallon tank. They keep the temperature right where I need it. My main issue is that there is a "do not place below this line" and it is about 1" below the "do not allow water below this line". My tank evaporates 2 inches in a week... so if I didn't fully submerge it, it would overheat due to lack of water. I've hard it submerged now for a couple of months with no problem; however, it is concerning that there is a max water level on a submergable heater. It works great and is working fully submerged, but I gave it a 4 because I suspect this might void the warranty.

This is the first heater I have bought this brand and am very statisfied with it. It was much cheaper than the one I looked at in the pet store, same brand and watts. I would definately recommend this one!

Mardel Live pH In-Tank Meter Aquarium Water Testing, Three Pack

Mardel Live pH In-Tank Meter Aquarium Water Testing, Three PackIt isn't as accurate as an actual PH test kit with the two separate additives and beakers. It seemed accurate for about a week and then showed the water to have a dangerously high PH. When I tested with the traditional methodthe PH was where it should have been.

I give it two stars just because it was accurate (if only for a week).

I found that this pH checker was not as accurate as the one that I bought from Pet Smart. The one from Pet Smart was made by Seachem. It was an Alert combo which contained two devices. One was for pH and the other was for ammonia readings. The dual pack was around 12 or 13 dollars. The pH checker lasts 3-6 months while the ammonia lasts for 1 year. While the Mardel is cheaper long term because it comes with 3 meters that each last 3 months I will choose the Seachem for accuracy.

Its okay for getting a rough idea of where your pH balance is, but not 100% accurate. But at least it gives you a good indicator as to whether you need to really test it and check your water pH.

and it turns out to be identical to this product. Not similar, identical.

By the way, it really cleans my aquapod gravel well.

I use the vac attachment only to clean the gravel in a 5 gal and 20 gal freshwater aquariums. The vac does a decent job on both tanks. Well worth the price. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the plastic parts/attachments are fragile and it does drip from the top of the main intake shaft just above the water level line which is not a big deal.

I'm writing this review only because the other two were so negative. This product works very well for draining the water from an aquarium. It is better than any other siphon I have tried so far. The battery powered feature is more convenient than a manual siphon, and can be started in very shallow water (provided you find a good angle for the siphon and hose in order to get the siphon action started). Keep in mind that you need to buy an appropriate length of 1/2 inch diameter hose seperately.

Cleaning your tank without changing the water is a very efficient way to keep it clean and maintain a healthy inviroment. This cleaner provides everything nessecary, the handling is good, everything fits and works, it is doing it's job.

The not so nice thinks about it: It's a little weak the pump is not sucking very powerful in a 50 gal. tank (I have seen better!), it takes just a long time to clean. And the cleaning head for walls is just a joke, not working at all but I like the idea!

Cliffs and Caves Replica Aquarium Rocks

Cliffs and Caves Replica Aquarium RocksThe actual product was...um...not what I expected. It was green and very unatural looking. Kinda like a childs toy. I put it in my tank anyway and have it hidden behind some live plants but I wouldn't recommend this if you want something natural. Shipping was the quickest ever however. A+++ to seller.

I thought the color would be more natural looking but it has a greenish tint to it, but it still looks ok in the tank, just wanted a natural look, not a toy look.

First of all, we waited for awhile for this item to ship. Once we finally received it and opened the package, we were very disappointed. The plastic is rough with extremely sharp edges. We cannot use it for our fish aquarium at all for risk of injury. The item comes in several pieces and reminds me more of a cheap dollar store child's toy. Definitely not worth the 26 dollar price we paid, or the time we wasted waiting for it. We are now waiting for the seller to accept our request to have it returned.

These units are reminiscent of childhood and plastic dinosaurs and in no way look like the natural image that the company shows on the box. While this unit (and the small and large ones) are cheesy in one respect, they are useful for amphibians like small newts or African dwarf frogs that need to rest on their way up to the surface to breathe. It allows me to have a higher water level in their tank, which keeps the water cleaner for longer, while not stressing the amphibians out. They get a five because of the utility. I use them with fish too. My female bettas dive for refuge from one another when they have spats. However, amphibians like it best.

Wave-point 6-Inch 8-Watt Daylight Micro Sun LED High Output Clamp Light

Wave-point 6-Inch 8-Watt Daylight Micro Sun LED High Output Clamp LightThis light is really a good product.I'm using it on my 3.4 gal nano and it has great light output for the size. I can see that it is truly reef capable. The quality of its construction is good, and the clamp is versatile but probably not suited for aquariums with plastic frames without some ingenuity.My Chaeto is doing well along with my caulerpa. My pods are doing very well and this light helps me monitor their progress. 5 stars for wave point.

A decent LED light for nano set-ups. Even though this light is described as high-output, it is definitely not a high intensity light, but will suffice for small 'footprint' applications. Somewhat disappointed with the daylight color (a touch more on the blue coloration as seen from my eyes). Good beginner/introduction light for getting "your feet wet" with LEDs.
