Desert Cactus Aquarium or Terrarium Background, 19" x 50"

Desert Cactus Aquarium or Terrarium Background, 19' x 50'
  • Size: 19 X 50

I bought this for our 36"x18"x16" beardie tank. The image quality is good and it's high quality. I had to trim it a bit to get it to fit correctly-I did this with a grid ruler and rotary cutter. I don't know if my order was a mistake, but the description for this is 19"x50" and I ended up with well over 10 feet! Use good double sided tape along the edges to get in place.

I bought this for my 75 gallon tank for my bearded dragon. It is exactly what I was looking for! The color is amazing, it is a nice laminated photo with seamless transitions and it is double sided! It shipped and arrived extremely fast.

**NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS**

This is 19 inches by 50 FEET (the description stated 50 inches). You get an entire roll of the stuff. Granted I didn't really find this to be a problem as it is still a great price, now I just have plenty of extra in case I screw up trimming it :-P

Tetra Usa ATS29588 Whisper 30 Tube Bag for Aquarium Filter

Tetra Usa ATS29588 Whisper 30 Tube Bag for Aquarium FilterProduct fits different brand filters, so it works nicely as a replacement when you cannot get all the gunk out of your existing tubes. This product is louder than original tubes, though.

New filter tube much longer than original which was a big plus for me. Found the impeller somewhat noisy though.

My whisper aquarium filter was less than whisper quiet it was making an annoying hum/rattle so I figured it was time to replace the impeller. I'm very glad I did! My flter is running almost silently again for less than half the cost of a new unit. The tube is only needed if yours is damaged or you want extra extensions. The impeller is all thats needed if yours is worn and humming.

Zoo Med Floating Dock Mini for 5 Gallon Tanks

Zoo Med Floating Dock Mini for 5 Gallon TanksThe Good:

Turtle liked ability to get out of water. Self-leveling feature kept dock level with water changes.

The Bad:

Dock tended to grow greenish algae that stained. Attempts to wash helped somewhat, but high effort. Dock had a finish on the bottom that came off in chunks. Turtle decided he preferred the dock to his turtle bone for gnawing purposes, leaving chunks of plasticky (is that a word?) crap floating around the tank. I can't imagine that is healthy for him.

Musings: Get a big flat rock that slopes. It looks better, your turtle will like it better, the finish won't come off, and any rocky field is a potential source. It will also retain the heat from a heat lamp, leading to praise from your turtle!

This Zoo Med floating turtle dock is a very nice and realistic looking addition to our "turtle-quarium". It's well made and looks like a real piece of driftwood or rock in a river bed. Our turtle loves it and there is enough room on it for him to turn any way he wants for "sunning/basking" himself.

Petstages Green Magic Boomerang Buddy Catnip for Cats

Petstages Green Magic Boomerang Buddy Catnip for CatsBoth of our cats like this toy, but Atticus really likes it. He wraps his front paws around it and "Bunny Kicks" it with his pack paws. I often find him dragging his 'Nana around the house. I think he particularly likes the curved shape, or maybe it's the color, because they have other kicker toys and this one is his favorite.

My two cats went absolutely wild for this catnip toy. A little more expensive than some catnip toys but well worth the money for the pleasure it gives.

Cats love it. It fits perfectly in between their paws for kicking and biting. Would recommend this toy to anyone. Also, it's really more like a "banana" which I think is cute.

Sentry AQ Mardel Clout Tabs, 100ct

Sentry AQ Mardel Clout Tabs, 100ctthis product works. the medication really help with parasites that causes breathing problem. make sure you remove the carbon filter. best result put the infected fish in a separate isolation tank

We where looking to buy this for a cheaper price in another website.

We needed this medication for some of our fish and we needed it ASAP. So we went for the bigger price here at amazon since the other website was not available. The product arrived very fast, great shipping here!, It was the second time we used CLOUT and the results where good.

The product does what it says...

Read carefully the instructions before using, since scaleless fish cant be treated normally with this product. Otherwise very good product.

It did the job of clearing up my fishes ailments. Turned by pink plastic plants purple but did not change the color or stain my ceramic ornaments.

Read Best Reviews of Sentry AQ Mardel Clout Tabs, 100ct Here

Yes, leeches in an aquarium. Ugh. But this is supposed to kill them. According to the fish boards it is one of the only things that kills them.

I treated once the first time and still saw another leech (a little one... one inch long) a couple of weeks later. Just re-treated two days in a row and have not seen one yet.

By the way... this product has a chemical known the state of California to cause cancer. Don't use it unless you have to. It does also treat ich, but there are way better, safer products for treating ich, like Seachem ParaGuard 250ml.

It was unclear what was killing my fish, but this took care of it. Seems like the best value out there if you have a large tank to treat. Only downside it that it will turn silicone blue. The blue color of the water fades after a day or two.

Hartz Wardley Goldfish Slow Sinking Crumbles, 1-Ounce

Hartz Wardley Goldfish Slow Sinking Crumbles, 1-OunceI have exotic gold fish in my pond and I use this food any time my fish reproduce and I have baby goldfish swimming around. At first, the little fish are afraid to come to the surface in my presence and can't swallow the bigger pellets that I feed the adults even if they did come up, so while the adult fish are eating their pellets, I sprinkle in these granules that slowly sink down. At first the baby fish just eat them off the bottom, but as they get used to the routine they start swimming up to get the granules before they hit bottom. Eventually, they are all swarming at the top together looking for granules and pellets as they are all trained to come at the approach of a person to get their meal now. The only problem is that the adults love this food too so you need to put in enough for both! I continue to use this food inside in the aquarium if the babies are still too small for pellets when I bring them in for the winter.

WHITE + BLUE LED Aquarium Reef corals grow light Panel,2501W+B

WHITE + BLUE LED Aquarium Reef corals grow light Panel,2501W+BI was very excited to see this offer for an LED light for my marine aquarium. Usually they are three times the cost of this product. It was shippable to Canada, which a lot of products on the internet are not. The light itself is great and provides the right light for a reef tank. The lights are mounted on a piece of plastic and overall it is a very simple unit. The little covers that sit over each light are very loosely attached and fall off all the time. This is annoying, but otherwise I have no complaints about the light itself.

HOWEVER, the company sent me the wrong transformer (12V instead of 24V)and the wrong plug. They sent a European plug. When I phoned to complain, the staff who answered my call seemed uninterested in solving the problem. They just wanted me to return the product. Finally I spoke to technical support. They said they would send out a new transformer. Well it has been almost three weeks and no transformer. I finally went and got my own. The light works now and I said I am happy with it. But no thanks to LED warehouse.

So I would conclude that the unit itself is great, but the service is poor.

Elite Air Stone

Elite Long Air Stone, 12 InchesI was sent Elite air stones in lieu of the Aqua Fizzzzz.....they are falling apart on me after a week of being in the water.....pieces of crap

item is poorly made. i received black one not blue one shown. crumbling apart, "shedding" the sandy stuff its made of. no plastic base, air inlet came right out, threw it away. would've returned it but shipping would cost more than I would get back. Fail.

Buy Elite Air Stone Now

Putting air line on one of these bad boys is pretty easy.

WHEN TAKING AIR LINE OFF, Don't yank it or pull it off

because the air stone's plastic tube will tear out of the stone itself

I recommend trimming the airline tubing with scissors or a straight razor and slicing it off the air stone's plastic tube which has thick enough plastic to where this is possible

^

use this technique for any ELITE brand air stones

By the way, it's a great air stone when given the right amount of air.

Ok so maybe it was the air stone that made the bubbles, but either way bubbles were made. I was a little disappointed that it didn't do any other tricks but I suppose if you are going to do something, do it well. This air stone did. It made lots of bubbles (with the assistance of a whisper air pump)

SunSun HW-303B 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/ 9W UV Sterilizer, 370 gph

SunSun HW-303B 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/ 9W UV Sterilizer, 370 gphI have three turtles in a 20 gallon and this filter is amazing. Before I got it every week I had to empty the tank. It's been two months and It still is clean. Water is crystal clear. Couldn't be happier.

This product was received in a timely manner, I haven't used it yet but when it arrived the UV Sterilizer lamp was broken and the glass case that goes around it was broken. I contacted the seller and replacments were sent right out. Those arrived intacked. When I use it I will add to this review I'm sure it will be fine and the price was more than fair. I plan on using it for my saltwater tank.

KORALIA 1 UL 400 gph 4W

KORALIA 1 UL 400 gph 4WNote to buyers: This is not a Koralia 1 Powerhead. They send you a Koralia Nano 425 GPH Powerhead. Gave it 3 stars because the customer service was decent and because they are refunding my purchase.

love the item, the flow is good and the magnet lets you place the item just about anywhere in your tank. I had one of these break and sent it in to Korali (Hydor) and they replaced it even without a receipt!

Buy KORALIA 1 UL 400 gph 4W Now

Ok so i bought the Koralia 400gph to create a stronger current in my 30 gallon freshwater fish tank and it works just fine. It does the job i want it to do and thats make a small current because i have some small danio's (which love current btw) and i didnt want them to get sucked into it. Now the general rule of thumb for tanks is that you always go for a little more power than you need for anything but again becuase of my smaller fish i didnt. I have noticed though that even my 8" bala shark swims against the current and seems to enjoy the small current so even big fish notice it but if you have decent size fish and have between a 30 45 gallon tank i suggest going for the 600gph Koralia.

Bought this product to help circulate water in my 55 gallon fish tank because a friend said the more you move the water the cleaner the water will look. After a week of use the product worked great. The clarity of my water increased two fold. The pump was extremely quiet sometimes I forgot it was on. The product was very easy to install also, the product uses magnets to install it to the side of your tank. I would recommend this product to everyone who wants to help clear their water in their fish tank.

Zoo Med UltraSun Daylight Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 10-Watt

Zoo Med UltraSun Daylight Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 10-WattThese bulbs are Awesome! Bought 3 for my 20 gallon high planted tank. They are strong enough that my plants have grown 2-3 inches in less than a month! They are bright for my size tank anyway. If anyone wants to know the lumens of these bulbs, it is 480 lumens. Contacted manufacturer for the information. The reviewers who are giving low reviews because the bulbs came broken, come on those are shipping and handling issues! Reviews should be about the quality of the product

These light bulbs make my tank look beautiful. They have one blue light and one white one but I don't really notice the blue (maybe because my tank is mainly green). Regardless though, the bulbs really bring out the color in everything in the tank including the decorations. After receiving these bulbs, I went and bought some live plants for my aquarium and they are growing slowly but surely. I also bought some plant bulbs and the one I placed in my tank hasn't grown in over a month. I love these bulbs they're great.

TOM Aquarium Rapids Mini Canister hang-on-the-tank C-80, 80gph

TOM Aquarium Rapids Mini Canister hang-on-the-tank C-80, 80gphI'm using this for a 10gal heavily planted freshwater tank. It's very quiet and the spray bar discharge is excellent for my plants. The output stem arrived broken but Amazon sent me an entire new unit and TOM sent a replacement part, excellent service from both. The best feature is the ease in using custom filter materials. I use an AquaClear 300 sponge on one side and BioMax in the other. Seems to do the trick. No stop valve to help maintenance, as in more expensive canister filters, but at this price it's understandable.

UPDATE: My shipping charge for returning the original unit were also refunded, Amazon's return policy is excellent!

UPDATE 2: Jan. 2012, it leaks, replaced it with a Finnex 360. It's a little larger, we'll see how long this lasts.

I got this to use with a 2 gallon betta tank. The plan was to use it as a filter and also increase total amount of water. It seemed perfect as the spray bar would avoid causing a current which my betta does not like. For some reason i just assumed that it would have a flow control, but, as it turns out, there is no flow control and the spay bar sprays water much like that in a kitchen sink. Its way too powerful for smaller tanks. Dont bother with this for tanks 5 gallons or less. The quality of the hoses are suspect, they dont seem like they would last. I got the palm azoo instead for my 2 gallon betta and its perfect! The flow control turned all the way down provides a gentle filter output.

Buy TOM Aquarium Rapids Mini Canister hang-on-the-tank C-80, 80gph Now

11/02/2010 CORRECTION. I did exactly as the buyer "Professor Bubba" suggested in review of "Zoo Med 501 Turtle Canister Filter" : I replaced the filter that came with pump with a nylon bag ($1.50) purchased at pet shop filled with over-the-counter activated carbon (got the entire carton for $6.50)and could not believe the results. It's been two weeks so far and water is clear. Thank you Bubba. ..and Yes this filter seem to be capable of producing crystal-clear water.

---------------

10/05/2010

CONS: The filter never produces crystal-clear water, it always murky. Filter requires cleaning weekly. Perhaps it's just not powerful enough for a 10 gal tank.

PROS: Whisper quiet. Quick and easy set-up and maintenance.

Read Best Reviews of TOM Aquarium Rapids Mini Canister hang-on-the-tank C-80, 80gph Here

Initial thoughts:

The filter is dead silent. I switched from a HOB Whisper filter to this canister filter.. and wow. After leaving the room it's being used in for several hours and walking back in, I thought it had stopped workingI couldn't hear a thing!

The filter media included is so-so. Though I haven't been able to see how well the ceramic media works, I can already tell that the other included media wasn't all that great. Read up on what kind of filtration you want(chemical, mechanical, biological, etc.) and make your own media.

SO FAR, the only con I have:

The hoses. They're tragically short and hard to manipulate. You can't bend them into place at all. I may switch out the included hose for a different one.

I spent a good quarter of an hour wrestling with the hoses to let the water distribute through my TEN GALLON tank as efficiently as possible, and it's still not what I want. Oh well.

Overall, it's easy to modify this little canister with your own filter media, it's silent, and it's powerful.

----EDIT----

I've had this sucker running for a month, so it's time for an update.

The hoses seem to have loosened a bit, so that's kind of nice. I'm still planning on replacing them with longer and more flexible tubing if I can.

No leaks, no damage, the impeller is still running smoothly without any noise.

You'll want to make a media basket for the ceramic. I'm working on a plan to make a partition for the side that gets the water from the tank so the pipe leading in isn't so difficult to shove back in after cleaning. Again, if you're going to get this filter, prepare to play around with the filter media.

ALSOthis little guy does NOT have a shut off valve. Be warned! Not only can this make things messy but it can be difficult to prime the filter again. I'll add shut off valves when I replace the hoses so I don't get fish water all over my dorm. If you don't build one, get a bucket or cut a gallon milk jug in half to catch any water that comes out and QUICKLY lift the top of the filter above your tank to stop the water flow!

So far, it's working great on my little planted tank. It's perfect for my Betta boy and his Corydoras catfish friends. My bio load may be small at the moment, but it's keeping the water wonderfully clean with minimal maintenance on both the tank and the filter.

Overall, this filter has some major flaws, but it is great for the price you pay.

----Last edit----

The filter has been running strong for almost a year now. Still silent and still good at what it does. If I have any complaint it's that this little guy has ruined HOB filters for me.

Admittedly, I never bothered with replacing the tubing, but I will update if I do.

Want TOM Aquarium Rapids Mini Canister hang-on-the-tank C-80, 80gph Discount?

Ok first off this canister filter has great potential i bought one on sale when i saw the carbon bag in it i immediately tossed it out (garbage). how to set it up : first get a peice of bio foam and cut it to fit snug on top of intake side then put some aquarium cotton , then cut a polishing pad to size then u have the ceramic rings at the bottom on the return side i put in a marine land activated carbon bag wrapped it around the return tube , wallah pro filtration five stage filter in seconds i use it for my 20 g long marine tank and the water is crystal clear for a whole month !!!then flow starts to slow down no problem just do ur monthly maintenance and flow will be back to normal. Great product Cheers!!!!

Fluval 20g-CO2 Diffuser - 0.7 Ounces

Fluval 20g-CO2 Diffuser - 0.7 OuncesThis diffuser works just fine.

This clever design maximizes the CO2's exposure to the water on two surface planes. It's a very simple process but it works effectively. And my aquaforest plants do quite well with it.

I think the previous reviewer didnt quite understand how CO2 and water intermix. Tiny bubbles under pressure are not the only way for water to absorb CO2

I obtain my tank's CO2 from a reactor using simple sugar and yeast. It does not supply the high pressure found in CO2 cannisters, and therefore requires a diffuser like this that doesnt need much pressure. This diffuser is ideal for such CO2 sources. I can easily recommend it.

Given that I purchased this item to replace a real ceramic diffuser that broke on me, once I received this in the mail I quickly learned that this product is an over glamourized cup with a hole in it. The picture and description is misleading and a 29 cents cup would do a better job.

This product does not allow for any water flow to interact with the CO2 that collects in the (upside down) cup so the CO2 levels in the tank are seen to drop after about 2 days of operation.

For the newbees...don't bother, get a real ceramic diffuser and you will enjoy the results better than this clumbersome device.

Buy Fluval 20g-CO2 Diffuser - 0.7 Ounces Now

It's a cup reversed upside down to hold the gas stuck underwater and overflows to the higher cup once the below one becomes full to double the surface of CO2 interfacing with water.. In face you can even cascade more than two cups as you grow depending on you aquarium height

It is ideal for yeast co2 users as no pressure at all is required while I have a co2 pressurized tank to I use a bubble diffuser at the bottom of the tank while hanging this fluval cup above it near the middle or top of the water to catch the un dissolved bubbles before reaching the surface and get wasted. In face I was quite surprised how much of co2 I can dissolve within couple of hours with this product that in face were getting wasted to the surface

Plants are enjoying ang growing like crazy and for the first time ever I will start trimming my plants soon

Read Best Reviews of Fluval 20g-CO2 Diffuser - 0.7 Ounces Here

Does not diffuse Co2 as stated. It more likes catches the Co2 and holds it under water until it releases out the sides and gets wasted.

Want Fluval 20g-CO2 Diffuser - 0.7 Ounces Discount?

Bought this to try out for my DIY c02. I tried the ceramic diffuser and the DIY bottles don't produce enough pressure to use it effectively. This is essentially a bulky plastic cup that's upside down. The box claims it's ideal for nano aquariums...FALSE. it looks bulky in even a 10 gallon.

The biggest downside of this plastic cup is the NOISE. once enough co2 is trapped under it will let out a big air bubble and that thing is loud. I'm now currently waiting on a nano glass diffuser i ordered off ebay for 5 dollars

EcoPlus Submersible Pump - 264 gph - 6.3 ft. max - 20W - 1/2 - 3/4 in. ID

EcoPlus Submersible Pump - 264 gph - 6.3 ft. max - 20W - 1/2 - 3/4 in. IDI built a homemade aeroponics system and am using this pump as a way to spray my roots. It works great and is creating a nice multi-stream spray that gets to my roots! Its also relatively quiet with nothing more than a little hum coming from it. The splashing water (in a good trickle sort of way) is heard more loudly than this pump working.

The only noise I hear is the water flowing. It's pretty quiet. It only has one moving part so hopefully it will last a good long while. I liked it so much I got a second one for my system (to pump water back and forth in an aquaponics system).

It comes with several attachments which is nice.

This is actually the 3rd EcoPlus I have purchased. The other two weren't as strong and since I'm going from the floor up about 5feet to my 40g aquarium I needed it to have a decent output up that kind of incline. I haven't been disappointed. I attach a garden hose, put the pump in my aging tank of water, put the other end of the hose into the aquarium and plug it in. It does a really nice job and I highly recommend it for this type of use.

San Francisco Bay Brand ASF71109 Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp for Fresh and Saltwater Fish, 20gm

San Francisco Bay Brand ASF71109 Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp for Fresh and Saltwater Fish, 20gmDon't be like me and wait too long to learn that the ingredients contained in the standard flake or pellet food are inadequate.

I have a few larger sized fantail goldfish in a 40 gallon tank. Since I am a casual fish owner I just always assumed the flake food and pellets contained the correct ingredients to provide a fish with a balanced diet.

I was wrong. And, now I am looking at my most favorite fish in the tank next to me sitting on the bottom of the tank suffering with constipation.

For months this fish would swim and lay upside down. It was upside down as much as it was right side up. It wasn't until it stopped swimming altogether that I realized I had neglected to balance it's diet properly and it is severly constipated.

Brine shrimp are recommended to prevent this condition. And, your fish won't necessarily exhibit clear signs like mine did.

So, add this item to your fishes diet and do them a favor. My fish love it, and go crazy when it hits the water. Time will tell if I waited too long for the upside swimming fish.

In my opinion there are a lot of fillers in this product. It is difficult to tell by the label (see below) since I don't know the make-up of brine shrimp, just basing that on appearance. But, there is a product out there that is not in chunk form and is not grey-ish in color. It is pure, freeze dried brine shrimp. No fillers. When you open the bottle there are literally small shrimp you take out one by one to feed the fish. I won't mention the brand or store out of respect for this product, because it works great also!

This is one food I can honestly say all of my aquatic pals love. My african dwarf frog, betta, danios, tetra, etc, ALL love this stuff. It's kind of clumpy and in my opinion needs to be broken up/shredded a bit. But other than that, this stuff is great.

I'm not impressed by this food. It seems to disintegrate to powder rather than anything resembling actual brine shrimp. The shrimp powder is too small to catch the fishes' interest which just ends up with unfed fish and a polluted tank.

Geometric Specialty Fluorescent Full Hexagon Aquarium Hood in Oak

Perfecto Manufacturing APF23271 Marineland Perfect-a-Lite Fluorescent Full Aquarium Specialty Lighting Hoods, 27-Gallon, OakNice lid however, the cut out in the back that accomidates the filter system is too small for filter systems designed to fit a 55 gal. tank.

This matches and fits my aquarium perfectly. I purchased my aquarium second hand and had a hard time finding a place that would just give the measurements on their hood as I didn't know what size my aquarium was. I even called the Perfecto manufacturer, who was recommended by another store, and they couldn't give me the answer. I finally found theaquariumguys.com and they posted the measurements. I am very pleased and would highly recommend this item and this especially company. Thanks!
