TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 24-Inch by 1-Inch Hose 5-Feet Length

TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 24-Inch by 1-Inch Hose 5-Feet LengthHaving owned several maintenance siphons and/or other cleaning aparatuses this is the one I keep coming back to as it works the best w/minimal fuss and trouble. Just be sure to get a larger size than you think as it will work better.

It failed after a few months. The flexible handle that you start the siphon with loses it's vacuum after several uses. I would recommend something else.

Received this today and the piece that goes into the gravel is broke....only half of it was even in the box.....had to have been shipped this way. Otherwise, everything else looks good. Contacted TOM aquarium about sending me the replacement part because I really did not want to send the whole thing back to Amazon if they could just send me the part I needed. They are sending one out to me. :) Hopefully it will not be broken. We shall see.

The bottom piece was broken, just like the others have said. The rest of it seems to be made well, except that once piece is made of that easily crackable plastic. Even if it came in once piece, I don't think it would last long. I don't think you could use this without that piece either as the uptake tube is very skinny, maybe one inch round. On a positive notice, this thing is very large. Would clean a tall tank well with lots of reach.

Took some time getting the hang of it but you will after one use get use to how it works. I am a rookie all the way with fish tanks so if I can do it anyone can figure it out! It's not complicated just have to get use to how to work it. It's hard because I think the plastic has to be worked a little the first few uses then it seemed to get easier! Cleaned the tank very well and very quickly! I would buy this again if need to!

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 12-Inch Bully Stick Dog Treat, 3-Pack

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 12-Inch Bully Stick Dog Treat, 3-PackMy medium sized dog eat one of the supposedly 12 inch bully stick in 10 mins.

This is very expensive and not what it is advertised as. The length is definitely not 12 inches.

It was 10 inches.

Dog loved them, but they are too expensive to keep buying for them only lasting 3 days. Quality seemed good.

All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch

All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-InchI brought this hood from petco and it does fit my 10 gallon aquarium very will because my aquarium is also from aqueon so anyone out there if you want a cheap and great looking hood this is the one for you but remember it onloy fit 10 gallon aquarium

I did a lot of research on this it does fit a standard all-glass aquarium. You will need a set of clippers or a dremel to take off the excess "flashing" to make it fit, but with a little buzz, its no problem!

Buy All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch Now

I've owned nothing but All-Glass aquariums for almost 10 years, and in my experience, the plastic hoods are a waste of money. I've owned many, and have been impressed by none. The All-Glass VersaTops are far superior in my opinion.

1.) The deluxe hoods generally come with a single-tube strip light with no reflector, only cheap plastic above the bulb. The twin-tube strips will have a reflector to increase the efficiency of the bulb. Invest in at least a twin tube right away (make sure to get the twin-tube glass tops as well), especially with the deeper tanks. Quality of lighting is much better without having to break the bank with specialized lighting.

2.) The access panel is clumsy and the plastic hinged joints break or crack easily. Every one I've owned has been very noisy when opening/closing. Glass tops offer more visibility and a smoother range of motion (they're quiet and will last longer).

3.) More inconvenient to clean than a glass top. Visibility of water spots/mineral buildup very obvious if you don't maintain them properly. Usually takes a lot of scrubbing to remove the deposits completely.

4.) Oak accent coating on light strip tends to wear off easily.

5.) Hood allows for a greater rate of evaporation. Glass fits snugly into the lip of the aquarium and greatly reduces evaporation; i.e., you don't have to top-off the water frequently.

6.) Cutouts on the rear of the hood are inconvenient and if the outlined pattern is followed, leaves too much room for that occasional fish to escape (nobody wants carpet-critters) and restricts customization for placing equipment. Glass VersaTop has a clear plastic strip for the rear panel which is easy to cut (to your specifications, also helps with evaporation, leaves less room for jumping fish to escape) and is very easily replaced.

In my experience, the hoods are functional, but I've found glass to be far superior in performance, reliability, quality, appearance and maintenance (and I haven't broken one yet).

I had one with led lights before. I love this one because it protects the light from water or mist. It is bright and shows the fish very well.

Want All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch Discount?

It fits perfectly, a very well made hood. The only problem is the light. I only wish they had put in a fluorescent light in instead of the sun replicating light. It turns the color tone of the tank green. It may not be a bad thing for some aquarists but, I have a few decorations in the tank that look better with a fluorescent glow light as opposed to a sun replicating light.

Como 18 Inch Purple Plastic Fish Tank Plant Aquarium Grass Decor Ornament

Como 18 Inch Purple Plastic Fish Tank Plant Aquarium Grass Decor Ornamenttall plant, great for a large aquarium. Bright purple color brightens the tank. Ceramic weight is great to keep plant in place.

plant is a pretty purple and pink color,....but it seems hot glued at the joints and at the base...i suppose to keep it from falling apart.

Looks great. I found that it was very well made (I didn't have issues with stems breaking off as the other reviewer did). It was a lot taller than I expected, would do great in a tall tank. I trimmed it down a bit for my 20 gallon and it looked awesome. :)

Looks great, very tall. Only problem is that a few strands broke off from the base fairly quickly after putting it in the tank. Each time I have pulled it out for cleaning, a long strand has detached from the base. I glued them back in with some aquarium safe glue. Do yourself a favor if you have to have this and buy a tube of aquarium glue for repairs.

Jardin Plastic Aquarium Fish Tank Plant Ornament with Base, Green Red

Jardin Plastic Aquarium Fish Tank Plant Ornament with Base, Green RedI will keep these plants and use them as they are the size I need, but I wanted plants that were green with some red (like the picture). What I received was red plants with little or no green on them. I am disappointed that they do not look like what is shown online. The bases look more like Plaster of Paris then ceramic. I will update later on how well they hold up in the tank.

Petco Check Valve

Petco Check ValveIt does do what i need. Unfortunately it requires quite a bit of pressure to be pushed through. Other than that, i made my own c02 set up with this and it does work fine.

I have 3 of these valves on each of the 3 Betta tanks in my home, they do their job well.. we had a power outage recently due to storm & when i checked on the fish all the valves kept the water from backing up into the Air Pumps! I was buying a new air pump every 4-6 months before because of water backing up into the air pumps & ruining them. No more of that, it's Awesome! You can buy these at your local Petco for about $3-ish, but until they recently put one in my area i had to buy them online. They even have a little sticker with arrows, so you'll know how to connect them to your pump correctly.

Tap Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Tap Water Filter Replacement CartridgeIf you have a "new fish keep dying" problem and you're well past the "new tank syndrome" stage, try THIS instead of just giving up.

Get the Tap Water Filter kit (note: though this review is for the replacement cartridge, you'll need to get the whole kit first if you don't already have one).

It was what saved me from quitting my new fish hobby, and I hope it does the same for you.

Though the tap water that comes out of your kitchen faucet is suitable for human consumption, it still may not be suitable for your fish EVEN AFTER PUTTING IN the Anti-Chlorine and Anti-Stress (good bacteria) conditioners.

This is something a lot of store salespeople are simply just not aware of, and cannot help you with when you ask them why the new fish they are selling you keep dying a few days after you've put them in your tank.

Even 6 months after adding a canister filter to the undergravel and Hang-On-Tank filters I already had on my 55 gal, I still had problems with new fish dying.

That's when I saw the Tap Water Filter on the shelf and read the info on the box. It sounded believeable, and I wanted to try it, but it was kind

of expensive ($79.99).

So when I saw the same thing on Amazon for half the cost, I chanced it and am now SOLD on this amazing product.

Now my fish hardly ever die, and my tank is flourishing beautifully.

This filter does a great job. the only problem is that it is overpriced and does not filter much water before it is spent.

I have several salt water tanks. I use this for mixing salt water. Works great. Never a problem with water quality or unwanted algae blooms.

This product is easy to use, compact it fits under the sink. Its a plus for when you need fresh water on the double.

Want Tap Water Filter Replacement Cartridge Discount?

Purchased the original filter canister through our local aquarium store when they made a custom aquarium for us, but they no longer carry these replacement cartridges (and they could not match this pricing either).

This system runs the tap water through activated charcoal, a filter medium, and then through resin in order to purify the water for aquarium use. It really does a great job removing the chemical from the water, and these filters get a lot of the credit for our fish having long, healthy lives.

These filters actually do too good of a job, and we add good minerals back in to the water before putting it in the tank -we like to use a product called Equilibrium for that task (Seachem Equilibrium 600gram)

Glad that these replacement filter cartridges are still available here and our fish seem very happy about it too! If looking for a system, or a replacement cartridge for the system if you already have it, we recommend these highly.

Aqueon AQE40200 T5 Dual Strip Lighting Hoods for Aquarium, 24-Inch

Aqueon AQE40200 T5 Dual Strip Lighting Hoods for Aquarium, 24-InchIt works as a nice replacement for the everyday florescent light fixture that comes with most aquarium kits.

The T5 lights that come with this unit are great! they really do make my fish and plants pop with color!

My main complaint are the wire legs, they are very flimsy and I wouldn't count on them holding up the fixture. But that is not a problem since I just let it rest on my old canopy top. I might try a glass top later(like the packaging recommend) to get a bit more light, but the canopy works for now.

I can't say a a whole lot about this unit because I've only had it for a couple days, but so far so good.

Overall a great deal for the price, but I wish the unit wasn't so "plasticy"

AquaClear Power Filter (UL Listed)

AquaClear 110 Aquarium Power Filter - for 60 to 110 GallonUnlike other filters that force you to spend money on new filters pads every two weeks, spending a lot on money you didn't think you would have to, this filter does not require replacement filter pads. Instead, it has a block of foam that is used to trap the dirt in the water. Every two weeks, simple clean the foam in water by squeezing it a few times! Just do it in your water changing bucket with de-chlorinated water.

You can change the carbon filter whenever you choose to. In fact, it is not needed all that much. I have run my tanks without carbon for a month at a time, no big deal. If the water starts to look yellow or brown, it is time to change it and put in some fresh carbon.

I bought my AquaClear 30 in early July. It was definitely quieter than the previous filter and seemed to do a better job keeping the tank clear. I've had it long enough to have cleaned it and, as filter cleaning goes, I find this design very user friendly. Then, yesterday, we had a power bounce and the filter didn't come back. After eliminating the outlet as a problem, I noticed the bottom of the unit was very warm. I unplugged it, let it cool, plugged it back in. Nothing. Today, I went to my nearest PetCo for a new filter. The filter is under warranty but I needed something for the fish today. Upon learning which filter I had, then gentleman helping me said that these filters almost never die and his is about 14 years old. He showed me how to remove the propeller box and clean it out. He told me that sometimes debris settles during a power failure and the propeller can't turn when the power comes back. He was right. I got home, took 2 minutes to clean the propeller, and we're back in business. No need for a new filter after all! I'm feeling really good about my choice of filter. Easy to maintain (once you know what you're doing) and works well!

There is so much to say about this filter, it's hard to know where to start.

I bought this filter to replace a very ineffective Marineland Pengiun HOB filter. I have a 20 gallon tank, but have a heavy bioload due to a dozen or so fish being born in our tank (thank you Petsmart). The issues we ran into with the Penguin filter were many (see my review), so I looked for a more powerful and configurable filter. The Aquaclear 70 fit the bill.

The housing has plastic walls that I think are a bit thin. I feel the need to be very careful with it when I take it apart and put it back together. That's about the only critical thing I have to say about this filter. It has a dial on the back to help keep the filter level. The impeller and motor can be easily replaced with a simple twist.

You get two intakes with this unit, so you can have it at mid-level, or extend it to get closer to the bottom. The intake swivels a bit, which causes a reduction in the water intake. This is a very useful feature, as it recycles some of the water already in the filter to mix with the water from the intake to give you extra clean water, just at a slower rate. This also comes in handy when you want to reduce the water disturbance for feeding.

The filter media included with the unit is exceptional. You get a filter sponge that catches the debris, a carbon "sock" to catch the very fine particles and chemicals, and "bio max" which is just a media to keep beneficial bacteria. The sponge can be rinsed and reused to your heart's content. It's very sturdy and seems to be effective. The carbon "sock" is huge! Although there is some debate among aquarists if you need continual carbon filtration or not, you certainly can get a lot of chemical filtration should you so desire. The last media, "Bio Max", is rough surfaced cylinders meant to capture bacteria to help keep your tank clean. This is very helpful since, if you were to replace your sponge and carbon, the beneficial bacteria would still reside in the "Bio Max".

Now the true beauty isn't with what you get (which, again, is great), it's what you can CHOOSE to do. The filter housing is very simple, and you can put in most any filter media you want. You can cut filter fabric to size, remove the carbon and add another sponge, or use a different biological filtration method. This, I feel, is key to running a clean tank. If I were to treat the tank with a chemical, I can simply remove the carbon and leave the other filter media in place. This wasn't possible with the Penguin and wound up being a serious problem.

Another great aspect of the filter media is the price. Seeing as how you don't need to replace the sponge or biological media, you just have to replace the carbon "sock". With that, you can buy a replacement for this specific model filter, or you can create your own by buying a filter sock and carton of activated carbon.

We've been running the filter for months without issue... Ok, somehow our Otocinclus got into the filter. Luckily, I found him and got him back into the tank. He must have been watching when we had Finding Nemo on the TV. Maybe an intake with thinner grates would be something to explore.

One thing I would caution against is Hagen's return procedure. I had picked up one of these from Petsmart and it was defective (I'm almost certain it was used and Petsmart put it back on the shelves). Hagen said that if I want to return it to them, I would have to pay for all of the shipping. Luckily, Petsmart exchanged it without issue.

I highly suggest this filter and hope it will work out as well for you as it has for me.

Hi..if you are reading this and looking for a new or replacement filter, AquaClears are great. My 70 (300) is extremely quiet and my aquarium is crystal clear. Even though the filter comes with sponge, carbon and BioMax, you can set it up which ever way you want. The sponges can be washed in aquarium water to save a few dollars and maintain your biological filter. Cleans easily. The old number represented the gallons per hour. The new number represents the maximum size aquarium. Good luck.

Want AquaClear Power Filter (UL Listed) Discount?

The Aquaclear power filters are the best in the market. These filters provide a HUGE surface area for an efficient biological treatment of the aquarium water. I own four of these filters and have been running continuously for more than three years! They are extremely quiet. I have experienced only two problems with these filters. First, the filters drain into the aquarium during power outages and will not restart on their own. Second, if not cleaned frequently the foam blocks will be pushed upwards and displace the cover. Overall, these are great filters and I would not replace them for another power filter.

9090 20" x 48" Double Sided Fish Tank Aquarium Background Tropical/Reef

9090 20' x 48' Double Sided Fish Tank Aquarium Background Tropical/ReefThis is a very nice background. It was tall enough to cover my vertical tank without having to overlap the pattern. However, if you have any bright lighting behind the tank, the pattern on the other side will show through.

I'm happy with this for the money. The quality of the lamination is as good as anything I've seen in the stores. I would give it more stars if it was a bit more vivid in it's coloring. The coloring is excellent for a natural look, my wife likes the fish-tank to 'pop' a bit more than this does.

JW Pet Company ActivAir T-Rex Aquarium Ornament

JW Pet Company ActivAir T-Rex Aquarium OrnamentWe got this cute little bubbler after seeing the video review. He is such a cute feature in our 12-gallon fluval edge aquarium, and our two boys (5 and 3) love it. He bends (at his leg joints) up and down as the bubbles escape his jaws. His little arms also move with the current as he bobs. Between the traditional sunken pirate treasure chest bubbler and this dinosaur, I just couldn't resist the dinosaur. He's unique and fun. You will need to supply your own air pump and tubing. As other reviewers have pointed out, you will likely need a regulator (an adjustable valve) if you want to have some control over how frequently he bobs up and down. The platform is a bit hard to keep concealed by the aquarium pebbles, especially if the air flow is too strong causing him to shift as he blows bubbles. But if you've regulated the flow to create a slow bob up and down, there's no shifting. For our little tank, home to a few tetras, it's just the right amount of movement and activity, and the right size feature.

We were really stoked to get this adorable Trex, unfortunately it was a huge let down because after a couple of weeks the air was leaking out of his arms so the head did not fill and release. So we would cut the airflow then he would start working again. But after only a couple of hours he would drop and not refill. They need to seal the arms and have them move from an outside part, the holes that the arms are plugged into are what is leaking the air. It was also sort of a pain to have to buy an air pump for this guy, it does not come with one.

Pink Parrot Tri to Fun Swing, Small to Medium

Pink Parrot Tri to Fun Swing, Small to MediumI bought a flight cage (32x21x35) for 6 parakeets and was looking for something that had plenty of room and they could use together and this is PERFECT! They use it all day long and I've hung a bell from the center to about half way down for them to play with. It swings back and forth as they land and fly away which adds to the the natural effect of the real tree wood. They love to chew on it. It hangs a little longer than stated, otherwise size is as described. The price is a bargin compared to other big swings. I truly could not have asked for a better toy for our flock!

biOrb Large Volcano - 9 and 16 Gallon

As indicated in my title, I have the color changing LED unit and it looks so amazingly cool with this volcano! I will try and get a picture or 2 up of my tank.

First of all, my volcano with plants looks NOTHING like the pictured one!

Second, it was too tall for my 16 gallon container so my husband had to cut it off so we could put the light back in the tank. The water, which was newly cleaned, has been cloudy ever since -maybe from the volcano?

Prevue Hendryx-Clean Life Flight Cage

Prevue Hendryx SP853W/W Clean Life Flight Cage, WhiteI have two of these cages which I have had for a couple of years. They replaced some older metal cages. Even got rid of a fancy wrought iron beauty because it was messy and inconvenient to clean.

The food dishes are easy to access. The apron catches seed and feathers. The bottom tray and grill slide out easily. The smooth plastic coated bars wipe off easily. I use cage wipes made especially for bird cages and paper towels, and I am done cleaning the cage in no time.

For the benefit of the birds' feet, it is best to remove the wooden dowels that come with the cage and replace them with perches of varied diameters such as the rope perches, concrete perches, and natural branch perches.

Make sure to place the perches such that the bird can fully extend its wings for exercise.

According to most animal rescue groups, the cage size is suitable for one budgie (parakeet). However, I have used one for a lovebird and one for a cocktatiel which other sources say is OK as long as the bird has time outside the cage.

I highly recommend this cage. Hope this is helpful.

This is really a nice cage. I've got 5 finches in it and they have lots of room for flight. It's an attractive cage and I'm fairly satisfied with it, however there are definitely drawbacks. The two little doors for the water and seed are very low and I can only reach a small distance in the cage through them so that leaves me opening the 10.5 x 11.5 door. No matter how hard I've tried to keep my little finches in, they escape. I've even created a flap to roll down on this large door. I cut a perfect circle in the center of the flap so I could get my arm in there to rearrange items in the cage and clean it. Still, one of my finches got out. I wish there were more small doors up higher and on the sides. I may even have to purchase another cage because of this.

The metal bars seem pretty sturdy and the tray does slide out nicely. I like the two handles at the top so I can hang this cage. I have three dachshunds and dachshunds will kill anything they can get a hold of. So I have to be very careful.

Edited to add: Well I woke up this morning to one of my waxbill finches flying around the room. I had to hurry and get our dachshunds removed from that room to catch the little guy/gal. I studied the cage and realized the space between the fronts sides and back, on each of the four corners, leaves a large enough gap for the waxbills to get out. I've temporarily used 1/8" white ribbon to lace the four sides until I get another cage. My waxbills are quite a bit smaller than my zebra or spice finch, so I'm going to put this fairly expensive cage away and order the less expensive one here on Amazon that is built for finches, the 30 x 18 x 18 cage from Petco. I'll keep this more expensive cage though, perhaps I'll find a use for it someday.

I hope this review is helpful. I'm trying to give reviews for others to read because I so appreciate all the reviews I read.

Read Best Reviews of Prevue Hendryx-Clean Life Flight Cage Here

Great-really-great cage. Extremely easy to keep clean & it does a great job keeping the surrounding floor clean. Its easy to clean up...even under the pull out drawer, because the cage grill floor can be pulled out separately or with the pull out cage floor drawer. It just has one problem the only access door is about 1 foot high and almost as wide as half the front of the cage., This is a great option for cleaning BUT--if you have skitterish birds, the large door is an invitation for them to fly out of the cage and have you chase them through the house for an hour to catch them.

I wish the manufacturer would make a smaller door within the large access door so you have a choice as to which size door you need to use at the time of cage service. It really is a major problem and has discouraged me from buying this wonderful cage for my other birds. My 2 love birds are very calm and never try to escape when the huge door is opened, but I can't trust the budgies to just watch calmly when the whole wide world is given to them through that large opening. I intend to cut an opening in the cage and make a smaller door somehow, so I only have to open that large door for cleaning...and then hope for the best from the potential escapees.

Otherwise this is a really good sturdy & easy to clean cage. :-) Prevue Pet Products Clean Life Flight Cage, Green and White

I'm really disappointed in this cage.

For $80.00 I expected something a little more heavy duty.

It is a nice big cage and I would love the seed catcher and how the bottom is set up, but the wiring for the cage is a joke. Very flimsy. I don't see this cage lasting for any amount of time. And to be honest there was no way I was going to let my cockatiel in there, because the door and top parts to snap together quite right his weight of less than a pound would make the cage sides move, and I'm positive he would get his feet stuck in between and cut.

I'm going to send it back and keep looking for something more sturdy, this is just disappointing.
