Hagen Marina Ecoscaper Variety Pack including Echinodorus Silk Plant, Nupar Japonicum Silk Plant, a

Hagen Marina Ecoscaper Variety Pack including Echinodorus Silk Plant, Nupar Japonicum Silk Plant, and Lobelia Silk PlantThe plants are decent, but the way they are packaged causes them to be crushed and twisted.

You really have to re-work the plants to get them to look right.

Good color and movement in tank.

I bought this when I was setting up my first 5 gallon aquarium. I didn't really like it. The plants seemed too big for a 5 gallon, and looked a bit fake. Removed and don't use them. Why 3 stars and not two? Well, they are what they say they are... fake plants...they didn't lie. Hard to tell from a picture on the internet what something really looks like, unfortunately have to buy it to find out, but felt it was a waste of money.

These plants are very soft, and therefore very good for delicate betta fish fins. However, they look kind of cheap. The tops of the plants look great, but the bottoms are not painted, and the plastic parts stick out. They still look better than most plastic plants, but they still are not convincing.

To be honest, I've seen better silk plantsmore realistic movements, better at hiding plastic. I've also seen much, much worse. This looks realistic enough to not be visually jarring.

The package contains three plants: a broadleafed light green plant, a bladeleaf medium green plant, and a very, VERY leafy dark green plant. The broadleaf came with the leaves nested like spoons, which I'm still struggling to correct; it looks decidedly unnatural, though I do like the color and shape of the leaves themselves. The positions of the leaves on the bladeleaf is much more natural and easier to shape. The dark green one is by far the most natural, but really needs to be in a tank larger than 1 gallon because it literally covers the entire inside of my betta's tank. You can get around this by sliding all the leaf segments all the way to the top, but it doesn't look as good that way.

Like I said, not super-duper awesome quality, but passable enough that I'm going to keep them for my tank setup.

Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater (10 w)

Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium HeaterThe thermostat is set to 68F rather than the advertised 76F. If 68 degrees is what you need then buy it but if you, just like me, need a constant 76-78 degrees then don't waste your time and money on this good looking heater because looks is all it has.

I just bought this stupid thing from Petsmart. I followed all of the instructions and the thing won't even turn on! It says that you put it in the water, plug it in, the light comes on and you're good to go. BUT NO! The light never came on and it's not putting out any heat. My poor betta is going to freeze for another week until I can get a different heater delivered. It's really hard to find a heater for a small tank less than 2 gallons. This one is supposed to be for tanks UP TO 2.65 gallons. I have a 1 gallon tank. *Sigh*

Buy Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater (10 w) Now

I just got this heater today from Petsmart since it was on sale and I was looking for a new heater. I had the Hydor Mini going, but because it only heats a few degrees above room temperature, it just wasn't good enough --we live in a house that gets very cold, and we have a space heater in the room that we only put on when we're home (thus, our room temperature would fluctuate a lot). Given, the Marina heater has been in for only a day, but my fish isn't huddled by the heater anymore and he is a lot more active. The water seems to be staying consistently at the correct temperature and I have a 2 gallon tank.

Edit: So I had it for a couple of months before it began to die. Then my poor betta would just sit next to it waiting for it to come on. I don't think I'd recommend this if you want a lasting heater.

I was suprised to read alot of the negative comments about the heater because I'm a very satisfied customer. I bought the 10 watt heater for my tropical fish tank. It's been a couple of months now, and still works like a charm. What I love most about it is that it has a unbreakable casing around it, unlike most heaters out there and a very affordable price. I really don't mind not being able to adjust the temp since with this model it's at a constant 78 deg. I'm upgrading from a 1.5 gal to a 10 gallon soon, and I'm buying two 25 watt Marina heaters, instead of another branded 50-watt out there, because I know its reliable. The 10 watt even helped my fish through an episode of Ich, so no complaints here at all.

Want Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater (10 w) Discount?

After purchasing this heater at Petsmart for my 1 gallon betta tank, I read the Amazon reviews and became disheartened, but tried it anyways. My room gets pretty cold, and the tank sits on top of the fridge next to the window where it is drafty (where else can you put it in a 3 person dorm room!?!?), so the temperature fluctuates between 76 and 77. It works perfectly, hides behind my black filter, and is made of sturdy materials. A happy betta lives here!

Nylabone Happy Time Dog Chews

Nylabone Happy Time Dog Chews, 18-PackThey don't last very long if your looking for that kind of treat. They are firm but break apart fairly easy. They are a great treat for my dog.

Dogs liked these...too quickly. Expensive for the time they spent with them, but they sure liked 'em. Happy time! Yay!

Buy Nylabone Happy Time Dog Chews Now

I should have listened to the other reviews about not lasting very long, but decided to give it a shot. I was looking for an alternative to rawhide for my German Shepard puppy. While he did love these treats a lot (hence 2 Stars) I was amazed at how quickly they vanished. It was literally about 5 seconds for him to eat one before he was staring up at me. Clearly not what I was looking for in a chew.

I was able to partially salvage these treats by putting them into water and making blocks of ice/treat so they would last longer (although this can be messy). I would also highly recommend dried Sweet potatoes and beef/bison tendons to anyone interested in long lasting chew treats and rawhide alternatives.

Aqueon Day LED Aquarium Lamp, Size 48, White

Aqueon Day LED Aquarium Lamp, Size 48, WhiteI was skeptical when it came to these LED light bars, but after a week I could certainly tell the difference and was very pleased with this purchase. By buying the housing unit and this bulb, as well as a red bulb, my fish look healthier and brighter than ever, and these sad little green clumps in my tank have actually turned out to be pretty good looking plants. The kids like it, so that makes it plus in my book.

This LED light strip is awesome!!! I would recommend buying two LED light strips because it lights up the tank (75 gallon) real well.

Rena Air 100 Air Pump

Rena Air 100 Air PumpOver 5 years ago, when I asked my local aquarium store for a recommendation on a quiet air pump I was told "Get a Rena". So I purchased one and hooked it up. The pump was so quiet that I couldn't even hear it operate which was important since the aquarium is close to my bedroom. Finally after years of faithful service the pump began to wear out with less and less output. I went to another aquarium store and was convinced by the sales clerk to get a Tetratec model. When I hooked it up it made so much racket that I couldn't sleep. I then went back to the orginal store and they sold me a rebuild kit for the pump for less than $8. I renewed the pump and once again it works flawlessly with no discernable noise. Rena pumps are just fine quality devices I highly recommend.

I bought this pump today and hooked it up. It made almost no sound. You could only really hear it when you put your ear next to it. I have been ignoring the loud rattle that my old pump made for entirely too long. It costs more in the stores than the other pumps, but its well worth it. Heck, the fish seem happier without a big rattling thing vibrating their water, remember sounds carry better through water than air, so if its loud for you, imagine how it is for them!

I just got in my 2 new Rena Air pumps. I have been on the long search for a quiet pump. This is it. I would suggest this to anyone who has a tank located where noise can be a factor. I am hopeful these will be running worry free for a long time.

Read Best Reviews of Rena Air 100 Air Pump Here

I bought this pump at Petsmart about 2 yrs ago and it barely functioned at all. I returned it and ordered a Hagen Elite from Amazon that has been working perfect non-stop for 2 yrs. I recently set up a new tank and was looking for an air pump, and decided with all the good reviews, to try a Rena again hoping my bad experience was a fluke. Well the same exact thing happened. This thing was barely capable of literally sending 3 or 4 bubbles every minute out of an air wall. So I went to my local aquarium store and purchased a Hagen Elite again (which was half the price of the Rena), as I should have done in the first place. Worked perfect, sending out a thousand bubbles a minute. One bad experience could be bad luck, but not two. I would never purchase a Rena air pump again.

Want Rena Air 100 Air Pump Discount?

I've had this pump for roughly two years. It works fine and everything but one day I needed to change the airline and while doing so, the knob that the line slips over broke off at the base! I've pretty much treated this pump with kid gloves for these two years. I use it at room temperature, I don't store it weird with anything putting pressure on the knob, and I don't take off and on the airline frequently. I think the time it broke was maybe the third time I changed the airline. And I wasn't yanking on it either.

Therefore, there is no reason for this breaking besides it being of poor workmanship.

So I called Rena to see if they'd rectify the matter or if there's even a part that could be purchased to replace it and while the gentleman that I spoke to was very polite, they wouldn't stand behind their product because the short one year warranty was up. He also said that I could purchase a casing (at my expense of course) IF this guy he gave me the number to has any. I didn't even have that option because it was a dead number.

So let's review:

1. Puts out air fine.

2. Knob breaks with regular or less than regular use.

3. Manufacturer won't even stand behind product when defect reflects on their own workmanship.

My conclusion is that there are many air pumps that will pump air that don't break and will be backed up by the manufacturer when they're at fault. My money is best spent on one of those other brand's air pumps.

I was upset at first, but realized the one they sent me was pretty cool too. It is really colorful and really well made and looks great in my tank!

Deep Blue 7 In 200 Micron Filter Sock

Deep Blue 7 In 200 Micron Filter SockThis filter sock did a great job in my basement sump, it also washes up very nicely in the washing machine to re-use.

Definitely the product I was looking for-and I ordered a few of them so that I could address the cleaning of the sock and have a 2nd on hand to insert immediately. The quality was good and it fit perfectly in regards to 7" advertised size. Not that this is a long sock but it doesn't seem to affect the quality of it's filtering.

Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-Gallon

Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-GallonI have two African dwarf frogs and was missing a frog one night.

I could not find her. I finally found her in the filter.

I have now learned through reading other web sites; it's best to put pantyhose or cheesecloth over a part of the filter, (use common sense on watching how it does filter so the filter will still do it's job) to protect your frog from becoming stuck.

My girl was saved.

The filter does work, just be careful and aware if missing an aquarium baby.

I just received the item from yesterday. It comes with a 10 gallon glass aquarium, whisper power filter 10,biobag filter catridge, fluorescent bulb, and also a small sample of AquaSafe and TetraMin food flake from Tetra. These are reasons why you should have this aquarium to start with:

1)The 10 gallon deluxe kit is all complete set to start with. I opened up the box, unpacked everything, read the manual for minutes and poof, my aquarium is all-ready! The filter is smooth, quiet and works efficiently.

2)The fluorescent light is all enough to lighten every angle of your aquarium. It can also gives some heats to your aquarium and really looks shining and bright during the nights.

3)After running it for a day, I add the gravels, live plants, Tetra AquaSafe to treat the tap water, also i bought a bacteria supplement from pet store to introduce the tank with useful bacterias.

4)After finishing step 4, I went to PetSmart and bought 4 guppies. I put them all in the aquarium and they swim in it happily. The temperature is already around 68-74F, without using heater. So, the fish are happy.

Conclusions, this Tetra 10 Deluxe kit is awesome! Buy it for your kids or yourself for full satisfaction!

Buy Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-Gallon Now

To start off, I'd like to say that this filter doesn't do a bad job with actually filtering the water. In fact, for a month, without water changes, it kept the water crystal clear in my 10 gallon tank. However, when I finally cleaned the tank after a month, I discovered an insane amount of debris in the gravel and had to do a full water change, which was okay only because I use that tank for a betta. It is possible that I just had bad gravel in there at the time and no filter actually sucks out of the gravel, but I feel as though so much debris shouldn't have accumulated at the bottom.

That being said, there are other filters that can do the same while not being problematic in the following areas like this filter is:

1) The suction cups on this filter are terrible. In addition to that, its design is horrible. Basically there's no way of raising the lip of this filter high enough to keep your water level all the way to the rim of the tank. And the suction cups can't seem to properly support the weight of this filter, so it will often fall off.

2) It looks ugly and consumes a lot of space in the tank. The reason I'm taking appearance into account is because the whole purpose of having an aquarium is so that it looks nice. When you place a large bulky object into it, it won't look aesthetically pleasing at all.

3) After only a few months, I began to notice that it keeps alternating between being quiet and loud. So for some time you will hear nothing and then suddenly you start to hear this loud humming noise. Then, after five minutes of making this obnoxious noise it will quiet down again. This is probably my biggest problem with the filter.

My suggestion is to buy the Aquaclear 20 for 10 gallon tanks. It is a much more complex filter and it hangs over the side. The motor is quiet and the intake tube doesn't create the strong current that this filter creates as its sucking water in. It costs a few dollars more, but is totally worth it.

I'm not a pro fish person. I bought a 5 gallon tank for my daughter's betta when she wanted to get it a 'girlfriend'. The filter that came with the tank was crap. But I'm not wanting to spend a load on 5 dollars of fish. This filter is great! Silent. Powerful. Tank was spotless in 30 minutes. Fish are happy, I'm happy, wallet's happy!

Want Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-Gallon Discount?

Must say I've read some of the other reviews and have been confounded. I have a *baby* Betta in a 5 gallon tank right now and there is no possible way the 10i filter

could "suck him in" ???

Anyway, I already burned through an Aqueon 4 gallon tank, which looked nice on the box but was a total mess, so had to start over with a 5 gallon plain tank and this

filter. IMHO this filter is excellent. Correct draw (unlike the Aqueon which required the flow to "kick up" waste from the bottom and raise it to the surface which is

ineffective and really annoyed the fish) Filter is quiet, effective, not too big and flow doesn't disturb even a small Betta. It also cleaned up a slight fungus problem

from the moment I turned it on.

Highly recommend.

Exotic Environments Pirate's Ghost Ship Aquarium Ornament, 8-Inch by 4-1/2-Inch by 7-Inch

Exotic Environments Pirate's Ghost Ship Aquarium Ornament, 8-Inch by 4-1/2-Inch by 7-InchI purchased this for my 20 gallon tank. It's a very good size for that that size tank, but I wouldn't recommend the 8 inch for anything less than 20 gallons as it is nice sized.

I wanted a sunken pirate ship for my new 75 gallon tank and this was the exact look I wanted. You won't find one with this detail anywhere else. It's a decent size for a 29-55 gallon tank but I wish I could have gotten one several inches longer and taller for my big tank. I also think it's probably a bit over priced for the size. All that said, i won't send it back. I do like it.

biOrb Purple Color Ball

biOrb Purple Color BallThe color ball is cute, but is way to big for the Baby Biorb. Mind you that in the packing states that the color ball is good for all Biorb tanks.

I got one of these for my birthday last year and I loved it! It definitely does add a lot of color and excitement to the aquarium. I put it in my 36 gallon tank, not a bio-orb, but it works in any tank really. The only bad thing about it is that if you don't constantly take it out of the tank and clean it, it collects algae, left over food and fish poo. Other than that it's great! :) I plan on getting all the other colors!!

EDIT: Alrighty, 2years after I got this it has completely fallen apart and lost it's color. :( I didn't really expect it to last long, but I'm still kinda sad about it. But, on the bright side, it works well as makeshift filter media! I just shoved it in my HOB filter along with some foam and it now has a large amount of beneficial bacteria growing on it. I can see it growing all over the thing! :)

I ordered this product, (Purple Color Ball) it says that the color is purple but they clearly gave me red. I thought this was a mistake and since I wanted a Red Color Ball anyway I decided to keep it. I needed to order a few more items anyway so I ordered the Purple Color Ball again and it came a SECOND time as a Red Color Ball. I was going to return it but it's a $7 item so it's just not worth it. I'll just keep my two Red Color Balls (that were supposed to be Purple Color Balls) in my tank and not bother trying to get a purple one.

API Proper PH 7.0, 250gm

API Proper PH 7.0, 250gmI found this product to be very helpful in maintaining my aquarium at7.0. Don't expect this to be a miracle cure that keeps your tank perfectly at7.0 forever. This is meant to be something that helps you to avoid sudden shifts in pH, maintain a relatively stable pH between tank changes, or helps to bring your pH back to 7.0 when something altered it.

There really is no true way to keep an aquarium exactly at 7.0, and if the pH is changing rapidly that would be an indicator that there is something wrong with the overall water quality of the aquarium. Simply forcing the pH to remain at 7.0 doesn't mean water changes can be skipped or that overfeeding won't harm the water quality; all it really means is that the pH is within the ideal range of 7.0. I do bi-weekly water changes in my 40 gallon tank, and between changes I use this to maintain the pH at or around 7.0. My pH will drop to about 6.7 and this brings it back to 7.0, and then by the next water change it will be about 6.7 again until I change the water. This isn't meant to keep your tank at 7.0 forever, but it works great to help maintain a healthy aquarium.

If you find that this doesn't dissolve in the aquarium or it leaves the water cloudy you can dissolve it in water before putting it in the tank. I don't mind the cloudiness because when used in the recommended amounts it only stays cloudy for about 15-20 min as it dissipates into the water. I really don't see any reason why this would harm your filtration media when used properly. If anything the particles would get stopped in the filtration media which reduces the cloudiness as it continues to dissipate.

My husband told me to purchase the product for his fish tank because the PH level wasn't at the right level. Ever since he used it, He stopped complaining about the PH level. I guess it worked. :)

Lee's Pet Products ALE14103 Airline Control Kit for Aquarium Pumps

Lee's Pet Products ALE14103 Airline Control Kit for Aquarium Pumps
  • Lees airline control kit cd
  • Made of high-quality, non-corrosive material plastic
  • Use to divide and control air flow from your air pump

I used parts from this kit to allow fine-tuning of the separate filters on my heavily planted 75 gallon community tank. My air pump has two outlets, and I used 2 of the "T" fittings to make a "equalizing bridge" between the two outlets. I then used 2 of the control valves to allow individual control of each of the filters. Completely closing either valve diverts air through the equalizing bridge to the other filter, preventing the pump from laboring.

I found no problem with quality of workmanship or materials used. The plastic chosen seems to be a non-brittle, slightly flexible type, similar to that used in Tupperware.

I wasn't expecting much out of this. They are cheap and divert the air to where I need it. The valves don't work real well, they seem to bo open or closed, no graduation. There are a lot of pieces and I will never need new 'T's or valves unless I need a really good valve later.

Want Lee's Pet Products ALE14103 Airline Control Kit for Aquarium Pumps Discount?

I haven't had any problems with these. I don't expect that I will. They do what I need them to do.

I bought this kit for the valves. I needed some valves to regulate pressure from a DIY CO2 reactor for a planted freshwater tank. I had a similar plastic air valve that worked in this application just fine. However, the valves in this kit are not the same quality. They cannot hold any amount of air pressure without leaking. Keep in mind that DIY CO2 reactors don't create a lot of pressure. Yet these valves could not handle it. As soon as I connected one, CO2 and water immediately sprayed out from the valve knob.

If you just want to control the amount of bubbles created from an air pump, they should work okay.

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Gravel

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon GravelThis is by far one of my favorite substrates. I have used CaribSea Cichlid substrate in the past for my African cichlid aquarium but, before it settles completely, it often gets in the filter motor causing it to get extremely hot. The air stones/line in the tank also disturb this substrate giving the water a slightly cloudy appearance. The Instant Aquarium has a perfect granular size and I have had no fish loss in previous uses leading me to believe it works as well as it claims. I do have to increase the pH levels using other materials but it definitely beats replacing my filter unit. It's easy to clean and once settled, it remains settled. The water is always crystal clear. Definitely recommend this product!

This gravel is great. It is coarser than sand which is what we wanted. Also, it is a gorgeous shimmery black which makes our fishes colors look beautiful! It was enough for our smaller 5 gallon tank, plus we had some left over.
