Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups, X-Small, Pink/Purple (Pack of 2)
Buy Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups, X-Small, Pink/Purple (Pack of 2) Now
Nice price for a two pack of washable dog diapers. However, they are sized way too small. These x-small ones look like they would fit a squirrel! I had to return and order a size larger. They are very thin and flimsy, however, if you use a women's minipad in them, they could do the job. One of my dogs can get them off, so it depends on the dog as to whether they will work for you.Read Best Reviews of Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups, X-Small, Pink/Purple (Pack of 2) Here
I like having the washable, reusable doggie diapers rather than throwing money away on disposable. I would suggest skipping the Simple Solutions liners that are sold to go with the diaper and simply buying feminine hygenie pads. Cut them in half and they work perfect and are much more absorbent.Want Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups, X-Small, Pink/Purple (Pack of 2) Discount?
A seller by the name of Ablackhorse is trying to dissuade me from posting my review of this product that they sold me so I will post my review here. I received NAVY and BLACK, x-small, diapers instead of the pink and purple shown. BOTH X-SMALL DIAPERS WERE TOO SHORT TO FIT COMFORTABLY AND THE SMALL SIZE IS MUCH TOO BIG FOR MY 8 POUND BICHON. The XS size just isn't cut correctly; unrealistic size. Made in China and China has poor quality control. The material is very thin so put a pad in it.Friday, July 11, 2014

First, don't be concerned about the picture shown, you will get the correct 46 bow front stand. Assembly is quite easy and it's very solid, well made. It would be nice if they'd include an interior shelf option because so much space is wasted. I'm going to try and find some shelf or make one for the interior to store supplies. Other than that, definitely recommend this product.Saturday, April 19, 2014

Laguna Aeration Kit for Ponds
I normally have to use TWO UV lights in my pond to control algae but this season I'm using only one. My trusty aeration kit has significantly reduced my algae problem and the aeration solution is the cheapest and most effective I have ever used! Nothing else in my pond set-up has changed and this is the first time in over a dozen years maintaining a pond that algae hasn't been a problem!!!)
I highly recommend this product!! But I do have one caveat: the instructions recommend a one-way valve (not included) to keep water from siphoning back into the pump if the power goes off. I was a tad annoyed that this item wasn't included in the kit but it cost only a couple of dollars at PetSmart and well worth the peace of mind.
I have a small plastic container near my pond that I use to protect the aeration
pump and my uv transformer. No problem drilling a hole for the power cord and airline (actually the hole was already there because of my uv clarifyer transformer needing protection).
I've recommended this product to all my friends with ponds. At Amazon's price of $30.00, I'm purchasing another for back-up.This pump works great. It is larger than it appears in the pic. I'd say its about 9 inches long, and about 3.5 inches high. Maybe 4 inches thick. I have a 2200 gallon koi pond and this pump makes plenty of air for it. It produces a lot of bubbles. And if you have somewhere to put it, then you can't even hear it run. I just ran a long airline, and I never even hear this pump. It is also pretty power efficient. It doesn't come with an air stone though, for actually making the bubbles. You are going to need one of the larger airstones because this pump flows a lot more air than some of the smaller ones. I would recommend the big 5 inch circular one from petsmart or someplace like that. And you need to let the stone soak for a long time before using it, just like the package says. Or else it won't make bubbles near as well. Learned that from personal experience. All in all, this pump has served me very well. I would certainly not hesitate to buy another one. It has lasted fine in the freezing cold, and in the punishing texas heat.

Pros:Can pump air to a decent depth. My pond is about 5 feet deep at it's lowest point and I had to weight the air-stone and drop it to about 4.5 feet or so. It kept pushing a respectable amount of bubbles at that depth, but much more that that and the output drops considerably.
Price. It's ability to pump at the depth I had it would have choked anything you could purchase at a local store at this price point. The depth will probably decrease it's usable life, but I had it running 24/7 for 4 months straight.
Air-stone and tubing is included. Nothing remarkable about the air-stone, but the tubing included with mine was much longer than the indicated 30" (inches? probably a typo, should be 30'), mine was closer to 25 feet. It's also the more expensive silicone tubing as opposed to the cheaper vinyl tubing that eventually gets hard and stiff.
The styrofoam float is a bit of an eyesore but it will keep the stone at whatever depth you need if you use it.
Cons:
In my opinion it is pretty loud at its highest setting. Not so loud that it is completely nerve-wracking (I've had smaller indoor aquarium air pumps that were louder after a while), but it's definitely not what I would consider quiet. You will notice it if you don't have a pretty vigorous waterfall or other background sounds.
If you were thinking about using it inside the home, it could probably run quite a few air-stones at the depths of your average indoor aquarium; however, the sound would be unacceptable to me in the house. I never tried to build a sound dampening box for it, so that may be a viable option.
Summary:
I used this in the hottest part of the summer to get additional movement and aeration in my pond because my bottom drain is not aerated. I think it's a little too loud for the area I have to put it in (near a seating area), so I'll probably relegate it to the far end of the patio and use it in a quarantine tank or try my hand at some hydroponics.
I think it's definitely worth the asking price, but obviously you'll need to spend much more if you need it to be quiet and run at deeper depths.Bought this to keep my pond oxygenated through the winter. Planning on housing the pump in a plastic tub with lid to keep it dry and feeding the aeration tube into the pond. Hope the fish and frogs are happy (and alive) as they hibernate!For years I would keep my pond pump running during the late fall and winter months, which meant that I had the clean the filter each week, a real pain in cold weather. I came across this product tht claimed it would provide aireation for the fish during these times of the year. This is my second one, the first lasted through two fall and winter seasons, but the power supply had lost some power. This is an excellent product and it should last me for another year or so. One thing it is important to know, you do not have to run this unit from inside your house or garage (as suggested in the instructions). Just get a plactic box (e.g. Rubbermaid) with a top, cut a hole for the air line to the pond and one for the electical cord and two holes on each side for ventalation. This keeps the unit dry and it has worked without fail 24/7 in below freezing temparatures. AT $49 or so, it is a real bargain.

I bought the pondmaster 02920 as a new item. However, wheni received the shipment, it's a used one. I can clearly see
some minor scratches on the surface. The UV light has some
kind of plague at the connector end. Also, the packing was
loose.
I am really disappointed with this type of service from amazon.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.....The item is not even close to 36". It's only 33" and not to mention, way to small to even fit into the strip light itself. Now I have to deal with returning this and waiting for a refund. I thought maybe I'd save some money but it turns out, I'm wasting not only money but also my time with this. First ever bad experience with purchasing online from any site.Note to the seller: Do us all a favor and edit your original post to say it's only 33" and that it will NOT fit into a 36" strip light.

Kent Marine 00550 Pro Plant Freshwater Plant Growth Accelerator, 8-Ounce Bottle
I thought the error was mine as a result of possible over cleaning of the gravel the day prior which would result in a mini-cycle. I decided not to use the Kent's again until I was able to get my parameters back into order. So a week later, and 3 partial water changes my parameters were back within normal ranges again. I again tried the Kent's using 1/4 of the recommended dose. 8 hours later I tested my water again and my nitrates were again above 80 ppm, ammonia was up to 0.50 ppm and nitrites were 0.25 ppm. It was very obvious to me that it was not my water changes and cleaning causing the issue, but the Kent's. I saw no improvement in my plants, but it mostly likely had to do with me conducting quick water changes.
I don't want to say this product doesn't work because I was not able to keep it in my tank long enough. However, it is likely not suited for tanks with live stock in it. You would need a very highly planted tank. I wish it would have worked for us, but it just was not the case.When I purchased this I didn't realize that its primary source of supplements to plants came in the form of nitrates. Nitrates are generally the result of the breakdown of waste in aquarium from uneaten fish food as well as fish waste. General rule of thumb is you don't want nitrates in your aquarium as high levels are toxic to fish.
It became apparent to me that the purpose of this product was to supplement a 'starving' tank. All live aquarium plants use nitrates as a food source. Without any nitrates the plants would die. This product is best suited for a heavily planted aquarium with few fish to lace the tank with waste products that would otherwise be broken down into nitrates that the plants would utilize.
Final answer. If you have a heavily planted tank with few fish this just may be the very thing you need. Check it out in that case. If you have a lightly planted tank with a reasonable to large amount of fish, AVOID.

Eco Labs MLXSAG4 Liquid Sludge Away Gallon
Buy Eco Labs MLXSAG4 Liquid Sludge Away Gallon Now
I run a 5000 koi pond with rocks and lilies under clear summer skies---and with blooming trees and autumn leaves. I gave up on UV after the failure of another expensive unit. And found this---to eliminate the problem that was feeding the very heavy algae blooms. You can't thoroughly vacuum a rock-lined pond. This stuff, used weekly, brought my pond from (after the UV failure) cleaning the filter every half hour and having to leave it off at night---to running day and night with once-every-24-hour filter cleaning. This is after two applications. My local pond store uses it for their extensive ponds. I will never ever be without this stuff. Go for the economy of the gallon for a pond above 700 gallons.Read Best Reviews of Eco Labs MLXSAG4 Liquid Sludge Away Gallon Here
I tried this out last year. I have a large 10,000 gal. koi pond in my yard with lots of overhanging trees. When we bought the house, the pond had been neglected for seveal years. Cleaning with a pond rake was a mess and hard work. I bought this looking for a better way without very high expectations. It worked great! It cleaned up virtually all of the old debris and silt still in the pond. Didn't bother my fish or plants or stain my rock borders. I bought early when I saw it on sale for use this next summer when the water warms up. Highly recommended.Product arrived in tact, wrapped in plastic in case of damage. Watch the sludge disappear. Did not harm fish, frogs or snails. Pond is almost clear after 3 treatments.Saturday, October 19, 2013
HYDRO-SPONGE FILTER V HS950 (125GAL)
Hydro Sponge filters, first marketed in the 1990's, are a more recent application of the airlift. Hydro Sponge V is intended for tanks up to 120 gallons. Made of dense, strong plastic with a weighted base which holds the sponge up away from the aquarium bottom, they dismantle easily for cleaning of the sponge. The pores within the sponge provides an enormous surface area for colonization by beneficial bacteria providing very thorough biological filtration. They can be powered by an air pump with or without an airstone (using an airstone will give finer bubbles and make less noise), or with an electric powerhead for those with larger tanks or who simply feel the need for more energetic water circulation.
It is difficult to imagine such a simple device working well. Surprisingly, they are excellent, and can be used as the only filter in the tank for many applications. I've used them on tanks sized from 10 gallons up to 75 gallons, always with good results. The local fish store where I shop has an expensive trickle filter for their dozens of tanks, and every single freshwater tank also has a Hyrdo Sponge or similar sponge filter as well. Apparantly the sponge is doing something which the trickle filter doesn't?
Maintainence is as simple as the filter. When you perform your periodic aquarium water change, (20% every week) save some of the old water in a bucket. Separate the top and bottom parts of the filter and remove the sponge from the tank. Squeeze it out in the bucket. See all the stuff which the sponge removed from the water? Reinstall the sponge and refill your tank. Go have dinner with the money you saved not purchasing replacement filter cartridges.
In sum, a clever and elegantly simple device which works very well.I use this in my 90 gal discus tank
I have 2 of these to supplement my eheim 2028
My water is clear and the readings are perfect
I assumed these would be just a backup in the biofiltration dept.
Apparently, they do a large amount of mechanical filtration, as well.
I have one in each back corner and large amounts of debris settle back there.
Perfect for the frequent Siphoning discii :) require.

The reason these filters are so good is that they are safe for fish fry. I have never had a baby get stuck on it. But with other filters this can happen all to easy. A great filter for baby tanks for any type of fish.Read Best Reviews of HYDRO-SPONGE FILTER V HS950 (125GAL) Here
I've used power filters for almost 40 years, and last year I replaced my Ehiem with two of these filters in a 55 gallon tank. Never again do you need an expensive filter, nor do you have to buy new pads or worry about a leak (my biggest worry with the Ehiem).These Hydro are as good, or better than any power filter, and easier. Every few months, I rinse out the filter, and that's it! Just make sure you use tank water when cleaning filter, so you do not kill the good bacteria.
It's great for fry as well.
The only problem is that they are UGLY and take up a lot of space. I could have bought the smaller size, and I'm sure it would work just as well. I wish they would make them in green. They are so cheap, I would throw away the black ones and buy the green....

can't really tell how well it works, when i lift the tube above the water level of the tank it doesn't seem to push water out of the tube when in theory it really should. strange.however stuff does get stuck to it, especially at the top of the sponge so there must be suction, and it should be more than enough for the bacteria to get water movement.
