Nylabone Corn Free/Wheat Free Heart with Real Chicken

Nylabone Corn Free/Wheat Free Heart with Real Chicken, 10 Count PouchMy 6 yr old pitbull mix has a wheat allergy and corn isn't easily digestible for dogs anyway, so this treat is perfect!!! She loves the taste

I have a JRT with itchy skin problems. As a physician (not a vet) it is hard for me to explain the skin problems as an IgE mediated reaction (Type I hypersensitivity)but possibly it is an otherwise immune mediated skin manifestation of a food sensitivity. I bought these as part of an approach to minimize allergens in my dogs diet. So far, I cannot say for sure if they are helping or not. He does like these treats (but he eats everything).

Good snack for our min. schnauzer. We break them in half for her and she's always happy to eat the treat!

The dog I purchased these for, is not totally decided that he loves these but his brothers say they do. A crunchy dog treat for the dog who is allergic to corn or wheat. For a standard doxie or mini doxie, these are a decent treat. For a large dog, maybe two are needed.

My dog has skin allergies, and this product doesn't affect him because it's corn and wheat free. Also loves the flavor.

Como Aquarium Fish Tank Artificial Orange Long Plastic Plant Decoration 19.7"

Como Aquarium Fish Tank Artificial Orange Long Plastic Plant Decoration 19.7'I got this to put in my 100 gallon pond. I like it because it's large full. However, it arrived with part of the base broken off. It was only 2 little sprigs but it was broken nonetheless. The base is made of some sort of plaster and is more fragile than I prefer but whatever, it serves its purpose.

Winston Crystal Clear OC003 8-Ounce OdorCide Odor Eliminator

Winston Crystal Clear OC003 8-Ounce OdorCide Odor EliminatorI have a tom cat that loves to spray my house. This product kills the smell completely, no other product has been able to do that. If it will kill tom cat urine odor it should kill any odor you have.

good product, gets rid of strong odors, fine mist making it suitable for spraying on furniture or curtains, or to clean air after cooking something strong smelling

It's all very simple. The air "fresheners" that clog supermarket shelves just add a new chemical smell over the odor. OdorCide eliminates the odors and it's environmentally safe.

I have used this product for years. I love it, it is not strong and over powering like so many room fresheners (which bother my allegeries). The scent of the Odorcide is mild and pleasant and definitely does the job it was intended to do by getting rid of odors.

Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets

Timber Hide-A-Way® Large Natural Wood Hut for Guinea PigsThe gerbil loves it. All the really special food gets taken inside for private eating. He likes the several exits we've noticed gerbils don't like to enter things that don't have another way out. He will also sit on top of it and ponder the world. This is gerbil number 3 the first two loved them as well. This one isn't chewing it up nearly as fast as previous occupants. Do get a couple, since eventually they get fairly chewed up.

I've had a few of these over the years, not because they don't last, but because the gerbils love to chew them, and they are sturdy enough that they are not chewed through. However, when I get a new set of gerbils, they get a new Timber Hide-A-Way. I've never had to buy more than one for each set of gerbils (and, in fact, could use the same one, but give them a new one anyway). They like to play in it and gnaw on it to keep their teeth short.

Buy Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets Now

It's the best chewable habitat I've seen. We had a different model our gerbil demolished -but that model was painted bright colors. I suspect it was somewhat toxic to chew on, though our gerbil survived.

This is unpainted and seems as safe a habitat as one could buy. Only 3 issues:

1. The label was a nuisance to remove.

2. It's tacked together, so hope the gerbil can figure that out.

3. It's made in China, so we can only cross fingers and hope it really is relatively non-toxic.

Update: Well, four issues. Our gerbil is a manic chewer, and he chewed into a tack on a similar structure. He broke a tooth, which the abscessed. He's now the 150 dollar gerbil, recovering post-op. This wood hut has similar tacks holding it together. If Kangaroo recovers fully, we'll cut this structure apart and build him something held together by string.

I had one of these when I had a guinea pig a few years ago. He loved the little wood hut.

It always stayed clean and he enjoyed nibbling on it. A BIG bonus is that it is very durable, and it lasted him about 5 years or so.

I would totally buy one all over again.

Want Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets Discount?

Highly recommended.

Previously I used cardboard boxes with sections cut out for entry and windows. My pig loved those and would immediately start to nibble on them. They were free and lasted about three months. I ensured that there was no ink, tape or labels on the boxes.

I purchased this recently, and my pig loves it, of course. He's already sticks his head out the top and the side window. I think that this is better for him, because it will help his teeth wear down better than a cardboard box. I don't see any dangers in my guinea pig using this.

The construction is very good, no loose pieces. It's also size appropriate. Great product, fast shipping and arrived in good condition.

Two Little Fishies ATLNPX0 Npx Bioplastics Polymer, 200ml

Two Little Fishies ATLNPX0 Npx Bioplastics Polymer, 200mlI have used NPX Bioplastics before, so I am not new to this product, and it is an excellent product. However, the product pictured in this description is the small pellets (1-2 mm), which I wanted, as opposed to the large pellets (5-6 mm), which I received. The larger pellets take far more powerful flow to tumble, and have far less surface area to be effective. Now I have to find the smaller pellets from a seller I can trust to send me what they are advertising.

To sum up: this is an excellent product, but the seller didn't send me this product, they sent me an inferior one.

Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 30-Inch

Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 30-InchNice light. Replaced a dual T8 fixture and this offers more light. Very slim, nice light color, lower energy. Really impressed.

I got this lamp as a replacement for my standard light fixture on a 29g tank because I wanted to be able to grow alive plants. I have only had it for 2 weeks now and I can't say anything about the long term success, but the light levels are definitely sufficient to be called low-moderate lighting, where with the standard fixture the tank was a very low light.

The option to turn on/off the blue and white LEDs separately is great. I only use the white ones during the day and sometimes I turn on the blue ones at night. They are both connected to the same plugin though, so you can't use different timers for the two LED types, which is not a big deal for me but might be important to other users.

Overall I am really satisfied with this light. It is bright enough for my purposes, energy efficient and comes at a fair price.

Buy Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 30-Inch Now

I wanted to replace my T5 NO light with an LED. After reading reviews of this product, I purchased it via amazon. Unfortunately, the light did not work at all. I requested a replacement and it came promptly. The light is everything I want. Nice and bright. Just the right amount of par for my 20 long (maybe a bit too much). Easy to attach to the aquarium frame although I did have to remove the glass top. I would be concerned about 'jumpers' but no one has escaped yet. I would buy this again. It is a bit pricey. Even with the first not working and having to return, the product itself if a five star for me.

Great buy, terrific light...I bought two to illuminate my 110 gallon freshwater tank. Spending more money on a "fancier" light would be foolish.

Want Finnex FugeRay Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, 30-Inch Discount?

While not perfect, I think these lights are a great value. Assuming you are putting this over a 29 gallon tall or a 20 gallon long, you will see average to good plant growth (with better growth from the shorter tank, of course). As a pure fish light, its colors are nice.

Frankly, you won't find an LED with these PAR values at this price outside of DIY.

Flourite Red, 7 kg / 15.4 lbs

Flourite Red, 7 kg / 15.4 lbsI have been keeping a planted aquarium for many years and Flourite is the best substrate for plants that I have ever used. True, it is a pain that you need to rinse it, however, if you use a very fine colander with a hose or in the bathtub like I did it is very easy. You will want to let the dust settle after you put it in your aquarium before turning your filter on. (depending on how well you rinsed the substrate.)

Other reviewers are not kidding, you will need to take this stuff outside and spend a long time with a hose and bucket to rinse out the silt to an acceptable level. It looks nice in the aquarium though.

Buy Flourite Red, 7 kg / 15.4 lbs Now

I put this substrate in my turtle tank after reading a glowing endorsement on a web site dedicated to turtles. I knew upfront that it needed to be rinsed well, more so than an average back of rocks. What I didn't expect was if the turtle or fish makes the slightest fuss with the flourite a cloud of dust is dispersed throughout the tank. The benefits of this product are the pleasant appearance and use as a planting medium. The drawbacks are the constant production of dust and the increased filter maintenance. Unless you're wanting to plant your aquarium I would recommend sticking to river rocks or other suitable substrate. If you choose to use this product I definitely recommend switching from the sponge filter to floss. I am using a 100% polyester crafter's stuffing and it is excellent at catching all the dust.

Baby biOrb Swap Top Pink - 4 Gallon

Baby biOrb Swap Top Pink - 4 GallonI bought this top because I love pink personally. It really adds a feminine touch to your biOrb, which I love. My only complaint is that it does not stay attached to the biorb itself. It is not a big issue as you do not move the biOrb around much, but I wish the company would have made it so it would stay attached to the biOrb rather than sit on it/around it if you know what I mean. Nonetheless, I would have gotten it either way just for the touch of pink.

bought the item for my daughters' baby bi-orb tank and she loves it...loves the idea of being able to change colors to fit her mood and room change...recommend it highly...its like getting a new tank with each change.

Tetra EasyStrips Test Strips

Tetra EasyStrips 6-in-1 Test 10C, 100 StripsI have been using this for about a week and comparing it against my API Master Test Kit and here are the results I got.

I have a 10 gallon tropical freshwater tank, a 8 gallon shrimp tank and a small betta fish tank.

All of the them are cycled and controlling the parameters are important for the shrimp tank.

I got this for the convenience vs liquid test kits, which are known to be more accurate

There was well over 1 year till the expiry date but I have found the test strips to be inaccurate.

Tetra test strips vs. API master test kit

Nitrate(ppm): 30 vs 80

Nitrite(ppm): 0 vs 0

GH(ppm): ~75 vs 80

KH(ppm): ~60 vs 120

pH: ~6.6 vs 8.0

The parameters that way off are Nitrate, KH, pH and also Chlorine.

I do not have a Cl test kit but there is no way my tap water has 0ppm of Cl. I smell it myself in a bath.

Bottom line: extremely inaccurate.

Have been using the strips for month or two and they work ok for a quick reading. I have compared the results with another brand test strip and the API master test kit. The only one that is really off for me is the nitrate which keeps coming up bright pink or 200 and the real level is 20. Not sure why it keeps doing this except maybe since my tank water is so hard? Not sure. I have tried the strips in other samples of water including spring water and distilled water. And it seems to work fine with those samples. I think for most causal fish keepers the strips should work fine but remember the strips are not as good as the liquid tests. I probably will not be buying these again since I always have to double check the nitrate level to be sure it's not really off the charts.

Buy Tetra EasyStrips Test Strips Now

I use them as a quick check, and if anything is out of spec I will run a liquid test kit to see what corrections to do

Read Best Reviews of Tetra EasyStrips Test Strips Here

I had thought that i was purchasing something that would last me a long time. being a homeowner with two fish tanks 100 strips were going to last me a long time. I had read the reviews and decided i would use them for an initial test and use my liquid test kit if it was way off. Super excited to get them in. they expire the following month! I have less then one month to use these. Guess this is the reason they are not as expensive as in pet stores. don't waste your money.

Seachem Prime 500ml

Seachem Prime 500mlFrom Cichlids to Fancy Goldfish I've been keeping fish for 30+ years.Just about every major manufacture and boutique specialty company has a water conditioning and treatment product.I can't say I've tried them all, but close too it. Some products have at the least, minimal effectiveness while others can be potentially dangerous.

An example would be Stress Coat which has binding sugar strands in the Aloe. This isn't a problem unless one of your fish has a small scratch or wound.The sugar feeds the bacteria which can lead to major infection and dire consequences.I've been using Amquel for years and it's a fine conditioner, excellent at removing chlorine, and Chloramines, but like all these products they come with limitations.

Well, with one exception and that's Prime by Seachem.

A few months ago, I decided to give it a try, and haven't looked back since. Prime doesn't just remove the chlorine and Chloramine it does much more:

* Detoxifies any and all heavy metals in your tap water

(you can call your water company directly for a list of them and PPM)

* Neutralizes Ammonia

* Neutralizes Nitrite

* Neutralizes high Nitrate to non toxic levels

* Removes toxic gases

* Will not foam or change PH

* Helps regenerate natural slime coat

Since using Prime, I've seen a dramatic improvement in all of my fish. In 2010 one of tanks was hit with the dreaded and rare Toxic Tank Syndrome within 48 hours I had lost nine gorgeous fish except for one survivor, a single Broad Tail Nymph.Since that ordeal, "Roxy" became a bottom dweller spending most of her time laying in a corner. Treatments were conservative, but nothing worked.

After my first 50% water change using Prime her behavior began to improve. Now she swims among her tank mates, her color is better, gill movement stabilized and her appetite ferocious. In fact I see improvements in all my fish and in every tank.There simply isn't anything like it, Prime is hands down one of the best things you can do for your fish.

In addition to the outstanding, patented formula of Prime it couldn't be more economical to use. A single 500 ml bottle treats up to a whopping 5,000 gallons of water. A tiny bit goes a long, long way.It should also be noted that in times of emergency the dose can be increased five times, Prime is harmless to fish.It's the only product of it's kind, and towers above any other water treatment on the market period.

If your an aquarium hobbyist be it novice or advanced I would urge you to add a bottle of Prime to your arsenal of fish care products. Your finned friends will thank you for it.

In my opinion, SeaChem's Prime is the best water conditioner on the market. I've tried a few of them and Prime does the best job. It removes chlorine/chloramine and other toxic metals from water instantly. Plus, as little as literally ONE drop treats a gallon of water. I have a total of 115 gallons of water in my 3 tanks. I perform 50% weekly water changes in all of the 3 tanks. To give you an idea of how economical Prime is, I've had a 250 mL bottle of it for more than a year. Only a few dollars' worth will treat hundreds of gallons of water. And as I've mentioned above, I perform 50% weekly water changes for my 115 gallons of water. Now, that's what I call a really great product. Highly recommend it to any serious fish keepers :o)

Buy Seachem Prime 500ml Now

I usually don't write reviews, but I did want to take the time to recommend this product. I have been keeping fancy goldfishes for over ten years now and finding the right tap water conditioner had always been a headache for me. I have tried most of the popular products on the market and they have always given me either mixed results or no results at all. Too often, I've had the fish die on me after a water change. However, when someone recommended the Prime water conditioner to me during a visit to the pet store, my problem was solved. I have used this product for a few years now and never since had any more fish die after a water change. I sincerely believe this is the most effective all-in-one solution on the market and for regular fish keeping, this is the only water conditioner one really needs.

Read Best Reviews of Seachem Prime 500ml Here

I bought this water conditioner at a chain pet store. It is so effective at removing chloramines, chlorine, and ammonia that you barely need to use any at all. Just follow the directions and the bottle will last you forever if you have a modest sized tank.

I have been using Seachem Prime 500ml for several years in my fish tank. It is the best in my opinion and takes very little to make my fish happy and healthy I wont use anything else! Amazon has the best price I have found.

This heater works great in my 55-gallon marine tank. It didn't take long to heat my tank and it is pretty accurate. I will only buy titanium heaters after almost being electrocuted by a cracked glass heater (for some reason the GFI didn't trip).

It would be nice if the power cord for this heater was a foot longer and also the directions state that the heater is only to be mounted horizontally, I would prefer the option of mounting it vertically also but this is not a big deal.

I have been so happy with this heater that I've bought 3 and considering a fourth. After having a standard plastic submersible heater crack leading to electrical shocking of my 2 turtles I needed a replacement. Using a quick fix with some old glass heaters turned out to be a bad idea as those shattered either during water changes or by my rambunctious turtles. This heater has been a great solution and definitely worth it. I would recommend it. I haven't noticed any problems thus far.

Coralife 00105 Mini Compact Flourescent Lamp, 9-Watt

Coralife 00105 Mini Compact Flourescent Lamp, 9-WattWhen Amazon has them, they also have the best price on them. The fixture that came with my 20 gallon nanotank made the tank too hot. For tropicals, that's not an issue, but for marine tanks, it messes everything up. I have a nice Coralife fixture that sits in the center of the top and this light is perfect. I can use this and another compact fluorescent or I can use one compact fluorescent and a blue light. Amazon ships wicked fast and you will not find a better price. I know I haven't. I now just have tropicals in this tank, so just one of these bulbs gives a good light without making it too bright and causing an algae overgrowth.

Mr. Aqua 3 Gallon Frameless Bow Front Glass Aquarium Tank 11. 8 x 7. 0 x 8. 3 Inch

Mr. Aqua 3 Gallon Frameless Bow Front Glass Aquarium Tank 11. 8 x 7. 0 x 8. 3 InchThis is a nice tank. It seems pretty solidly made, if a bit fragile (it is made of glass, after all). The major drawback is its lack of lid/cover. Since I have tropical aquatic plants and animals in this tank, it's pretty important to have a lid due to heat and smell. I'm going to get an acrylic lid cut to shape and size at a local plastics manufacturer, but I imagine that isn't an option for most people. In the interim, I have a rectangular piece of plexiglass sitting on top, and it kind of spoils the clean aesthetic effect. Still, it's a lovely tank, and I'm glad I bought it.

It is attractive and well made. How ever it holds only a little more than 2 gallons...NOT 3. Also can not purchase a lid for it.
