Buy Tetra 26331 Whisper EX Carbon Filter Now
My fish have told me time and time again that these are there favorite filters. They are really happy!! At least the two that are still alive.Read Best Reviews of Tetra 26331 Whisper EX Carbon Filter Here
Hard to find. Thanks We love the fishtank set up. We have used it for years. Our local stores are hard to find that carry this good product.Wow, they've certainly improved things from when I was a kid. These are great little packets. If you can make coffee or brew tea, you already know how to use them. Well done, Tetra. 4-stars only because they don't last very long, and I wish they came in a bigger package. A fair value, though, and a great way to encourage the kids to change the thing themselves.Sunday, August 31, 2014

R-Zilla SRZ100011875 Fresh Air Screen Cover with Hinged Door for Pet Cages, 30-1/4 by 12-7/8-Inch,
I highly recommend this item as a lid for covering aquariums.Purchased this for my iguana tank. Fit perfectly and is snug too. This is a great item for the price. Arrived fast too. Would recommend it.I use this on my 29 gal. fish tank. I keep crickets in it. I like the door I can put food and water in without the crickets getting outThis was the same price as a screen without the door. The door is so extremely useful. I have a water turtle that I have to feed each day and we keep two lamps on top of the screen. It was such a hassle to remove the screen each time and then make sure the filter cord was in place correctly. Now, we just lift the screen and done! Great price, as it was the same as buying without the handy door and shipping was fast. Would recommend to anyone that needs to remove the screen regularly.This is a very handy item, turning our 29 gallon fish tank into a gerbil haven. The opening is large enough to get an arm in comfortably while keeping our little critters safe. Very well constructed and shipped quickly.

Coral Sun Bulb for Aquariums
Buy Coral Sun Bulb for Aquariums Now
I have a 120-gallon freshwater aquarium with a few large shubunkins and a mix of artificial and live plants. The aquarium was lit by a pair of 24" 8000k fluorescents in separate 30" hoods, set end-to-end over the length of the 5-foot long tank. I purchased a pair of these ZooMed Coral Sun Actinic bulbs primarily to provide some supplemental lighting for the plants. I installed them in an additional pair of 30" hoods. The addition of the blue light output from the ZooMed bulbs to the existing 8000K fluorescents, really made a difference in the overall color balance. The gravel and plants took on a more natural, less yellowish look and the colors of the fish were also enhanced. So, in addition to helping the plants, the aesthetics were much improved as well. In the evening, I shut down the 8000K bulbs and just leave the actinics on for awhile before turning everything off for the night. The ZooMed actinics provide a cool moonlight effect when used by themselves. Great product and highly recommended for my application. The lamp was delivered very quickly and arrived in great condition. Also, it seems to work well and looks great in the aquarium! I would highly recommend this product and seller to others.Monday, June 9, 2014

Buy U.P. Aqua Cichlid Stone (small) Now
its an excellent item, i just recieved it after my fish outgrew it. that was my fault because i didnt know what size to expect by the sizing on the site.These are great! I have the other two sizes and I just placed an order for this one as well and I do see myself buying more in the future for my kuhliis. I highly recommend the U.P. Aqua cichlid stones. They are a beautiful, functional piece for the aquarium and even more so when stacked together! Your fish will love their new houses and so will you!Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Marina Fine Nylon Fish Net
The net is great quality and sturdy so you don't have to worry it breaking. This is a small net so it's best fit for small tanks, for me I have a fish bowl so this is perfect!
Pretty much does the job for me.I was looking for something to clean the silt out of the bottom of my artificial fish pond. I needed a net with a very fine mesh and a relatively sturdy handle. This is just about perfect. It doesn't catch the finest particles when they've been stirred up, but it does grab them when they're piled at the bottom of the pond. I wish the handle were a little longer, but it's pretty sturdy at least. I'm thrilled I found this net for so cheap; I thought I was going to have to drop ten bucks or more for something that I would then have to modify to work properly.

Great product & price. Able to save time chasing around our aquarium fish. Good material & craftsmanship, satisfied with product.Worth the price. A lot cheaper price then others. No reason to pay more. Just buy this one and you'll be happy.it is a net. it works. it has not broken with use over the last several weeks. The metal is strong enough to minimize bending while going after the 'fast' fish.Wednesday, January 22, 2014
Romp! Funny Farms Catnip Cat Toy
Buy Romp! Funny Farms Catnip Cat Toy Now
What a wonderful and highly quality product!! My little Baby J loves to play with this toy all the time! We have had it about a month and it still is holding up very well!! Thank you for such a great product!!!Read Best Reviews of Romp! Funny Farms Catnip Cat Toy Here
This little toy is cute and my cat loves playing with it. The little chicken lost one wing (feather) immediately. Otherwise, it seems to be holding up pretty well. My main complaint is that when I searched for "made in USA" this came up in the list and although I looked all over, I could not see anything saying exactly where it was made. Of course, when I received it, it was made China. I would not have purchased it if I had known for sure where it was made.Want Romp! Funny Farms Catnip Cat Toy Discount?
First off, I have to say that this whole line of toys is some of the cutestI have seen in ages! Both the cat and the dog lines will bring a smile to your face!
For this particular toy, the Turkey Trot, it makes you smile right away.
I am a sucker for that crazy eye look on cartoon or toy characters.
(Think Ed from Lion King!)
We thought this would be a sure-fire hit because this is not only a toy on a stick
(what cat doesn't love it when their humans dangle stuff from sticks for them to swat
at?), but it has feather wings. (We have a few other stick-style toys, so this is an
additional one.)
True to form, our feather-holic cat liked this toy for a while, and tried to de-wing it the first night.
Our usual stick-toy fanatic wasn't so impressed. We had to drag the toy across her back a
few times for her to even give it a second look. She finally made a few feeble pokes at it.
Not what I had hoped for!
So, we left it on the floor for them to sniff thoroughly, so they'd know what they were dealing
with we thought maybe it was just that it was not familiar. It's been a few days now, and the
general thoughts are "Eh" from both cats. We can force one to swat at it just by annoying her
to pieces with it, but then she walks away. I am going to try to leave the turkey in some catnip
for a few days and see if that helps. There was no scent at all to the toy, so although it says
there is catnip in it, it is either a miniscule amount or it is just very old.
On the plus side, it looks well-made, and it really does have a "cute" factor for the humans.

Fluval Chi Cover
That being said, while I've seen the Chi drop in price as low as the five to six dollar mark (but as high as sixteen!), it still seems pretty overpriced for what it is. If you can get your hands on some cheap polycarbonate or acrylic, it should work just as well if you don't mind a little DIY.
Read Best Reviews of Fluval Chi Cover Here
I had some fish that *loved* jumping out of the tank and dying (loaches). That, plus the crabs and snail adventures, prompted me to get this cover. It's really nice, but the only drawback it had no spot for the heater I had installed. That was easily fixed by cutting a small opening with my dremel, though ;)Bonus: No more roommates shouting, "DAVE THERE IS A CRAB IN THE HALLWAY" at 7 am.
Want Fluval Chi Cover Discount?
First off, the lid itself is cheap and flimsy. one of the pegs to hold the lid in place broke off rather easily.And lastly this lid has not prevented 2 Betta fish from jumping to their deaths. It leaves large gaps and does not work.

Marina Style Aquarium Kit
Pro:
-This unit has a nice foot print. It doesn't take up a ridiculous amount of counterspace.
-The filter is very impressive compared to other tanks I've seen. The flow is adjustable, from very gentle to rather aggressive.
-The filter is also rather quiet. Unlike my other tank, this one doesn't need an overly aggressive airrated to vibrate and make all kinds of noise.
-The lid and glass both seem to be of high quality. The opening section of the lid is sturdy and there are no scratches or bubbles in the glass.
Con:
-I'm not a huge fan of the light. This one comes with incandescent lighting, but I prefer my last tank's LED.
-The filter is a universal model. It has the ability to attach to far larger tanks, so it sits on there kind of awkwardly. I used a small piece of cardboard folded over (the box the bulb came in) on the outside of the tank to make it a little bit more stable. I don't see it at all and it works better than the space included.
Overall this is a great tank for a small room, like a dorm or kids room. If you have the space I would recommend something bigger, but for the right task this is a perfect kit.My girlfriend and I are both new to taking car of fish (we have a single small gold fish). This tank was a decent price and seems to be working just fine. It has no leaks, and is perfect for us since it comes with instructions on how to take care of the fish. The filters are really easy to change and the fish has a lot of space to swim around in. The primary thing I was worried about was the filter's suction, but it seems to be very gentle so the fish does not get caught in it.
Update: It has been a over a year and still no issues with leaks, or the pump. The only very minor annoyance is that sometimes the lid to the filter changer vibrates. But it is easy to solve. Other than that no complaints about this tank. It is also very nice that the replacement filters are relatively cheap on amazon.

I got this tank to replace a 5 gallon tank. (Never buy a "plastic" tank) The glass aquarium came with everything I needed. Add gravel, decorations, water and fish and your done. Couldn't be easier. Great for kids and adults whom don't what a spend a lot of money and time just to have some fish to watch.Read Best Reviews of Marina Style Aquarium Kit Here
Mine has now been set up for about three months. It's been a great way to get into the hobbyeverything that it comes with is good quality and works great. My fish like the food, the LCD thermometer is great, and the tank looks pretty decent. I have one betta, four cardinal tetra, two nerite snails, and about 10 live plants in mine and the filter keeps up just fine (I just do water changes once a month). Depending on the fish you choose, you may need a thermometer, but they are available cheap. Ask your fish store when you buy your fish.The only weak point is the light. Incandescent bulbs are obsolete, produce a bad color light, and run hot and waste electricity.
**Here's my tip: buy a low wattage compact fluorescent bulb--available from Amazon, big box stores, home improvement stores, even grocery stores--and pop it in. Look for 10 or 13 watts, and make sure the color temperature is "daylight" (6700K)and not "soft white" (2700K or similar). It makes a world of difference. Here's a great option, just add it to your cart: GE Lighting 89082 Energy Smart 10-Watt Daylight Spiral Compact Fluorescent Bulb
A $5 CFL bulb will bring this kit into the 21st century and you'll be amazed how good the tank and its inhabitants will look! Plus, plants love the extra light.
Summary: buy this kit and then replace the bulb immediately. Then just enjoy.this is great starter kit with almost everything i was looking for with a killer price. I still needed to buy a heater and extra filters and i got another temp gauge.

Aussie Aquariums Wall Mounted Aquarium - Skyline Black
I have rated very few things, but I felt people deserved to know more about this product.
I did a lot of comparison shopping and research, this being my first "real" fish tank. Given the small amount of technical data presented, I was comparing this against other 10-15 gallon tanks based on the 35x5x16 measurements. Here are the problems I've had with it.
* It's NOT the black I ordered, but blue. I thought maybe it was just me, or the light, but no, it's very clearly blue. Blue is not even LISTED as a color option.
*There are no measurements that equal 35X16x5. That would equal (2,800 c/inches), 12 gallons if it were full. The INSIDE tank measurements are 31.375x12.25x3.125. This is only 1,201 c/inches, a mere FIVE gallons!!! The total outside the wide frame measurements are 35.5x17.5x4.375, but this is MUCH bigger than the actual tank.
Unfortunately, this showed up (well packaged and quickly) the day before my daughter's birthday so we were in a hurry to get it up and running and didn't realize the problems until it was already mounted. Some other things to note, but aren't necessarily "problems."
The light is an unshielded under cabinet light. It will shine as much light up the wall as into the tank. It is not compatible with full spectrum lights if you wish to have live plants.
There is no "lid" per say, just a piece of glass that rests on top that you have to set aside when accessing tank. Haven't broken it yet, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of time.
With only a 3 1/8 interior depth, it is VERY narrow, most rocks/decor won't fit inside. There are large blind spots on the side hidden by the frame where fish/animals like to hide.
No heater is included. The filter seems OK but is a bit loud. The vacuum is easy to use and helpful. Kids could have easy access to all lighted on/off switches on the bottom. The metal face scratches and dents fairly easily. The instruction manual is generic for many tanks and is a bit vague on details.
Over all, if you want a small tank to hold no more than 5 total inches of fish, it's not bad. However it is NOT worth the $700+ "compare at price" in my opinion and it is NOT necessarily the size or color shown. Beware!Aussie Aquariums Wall Mounted Aquarium is very classy. I received mine broke and received a partial refund. I fixed it and had to pay almost a hundreds bucks. Still worth it.
