I have gone through about 5 of these bulbs since march, the black lights from zilla are pretty good but the white lights just burn out after 2-6weeks.Read Best Reviews of Zilla Day White Light Incandescent Spot Bulb Here
It fit our needs for all of two weeks. I have never had a light burn out so quickly. I do not recommend this light at all I would give it zero stars if that was an option. A complete waste of money.Purchased this thinking good buy, WRONG it burned out after about 2 weeks. Waste of money...DO NOT PURCHASE, buy at your own riskSaturday, June 21, 2014

Jotco 20 Gallon Tall GREY Door Color Tank Topper
I gave this cage only 4 stars, because there are just a couple of cons. While I understand nothing is perfect, we, as pet owners love our furry little friends and want them to be safe and sound. And, as a matter-of-fact, ourselves as well.
I reiterate: This is a dream for our pet Rat (Luna), and ability to "convert" it to a stand alone cage with a simple wire tie gets it a thumbs up.
Cons-
-The cage is not painted at all, It seems to be (and as the description says) galvanized welded wire. Suggestion to the manufacturer, perhaps you could make future versions of this cage powder coated or rubber-coated. Its somewhat unsightly.
-The bottom edges of the cage (where it fits around the frame of the tank) has very sharp, wire edges. Beware, for safety of yourself, and your children. Suggestion to the manufacturer, a little file work, or light grinding, goes a long way to ensure the safety of our pets and your customers.
I'll do the work and file the edges myself, which is easy enough. Just wanted to point out a few observations I've made. Hope this helps future buyers, though I hope you make the choice to add some space for your little friends. I've had to buy this as a down grade to a custom wire mesh wrapped Ferret Nation double level Mansion to a Two Story Tank House, but Luna seems very happy being able to get some fresh air, and it's much easier to interact with her for play time and feeding.

Hydor ETH 200 In-Line External Heater 200w 5/8" hose - Original Eth 201
This heats ALL your water every drop passes through this heater (about 6 times an hour if you have adequate flow through your filter).
I put this in my output line, set it to 78, and within 1 hour got a reading of EXACTLY 78, no matter where I put the thermometer in the tank. I will never go back to stick heaters again.
HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!Bought this heater for use w/ a Fluval 305 canister filter on a 45gal corner pentagram community tank. The old glass tube heater's thermostat seemed to stop working (maybe because I let the water level drop a bit low), and I came across this inline model while looking for a replacement.
First off, the heater is much larger than I expected. It was too long to install above the filter yet below the tank in my stand (while keeping the required vertical positioning), so I had to move the tank away from the wall in order to install it in-line on the return hose behind the tank. Since it's also pretty fat (much thicker than the hoses themselves), the tank now sits a few inches from the wall instead of almost right up against it. The Fluval 305 filter also uses the ribbed hoses, which I found out after purchasing the heater are not 5/8ths, but 3/4" themselves. A few posts on the net said connecting the ribbed hoses directly to the heater would result in leaks. I ended up buying a couple of the rubber Fluval hose ends, which just push on to the ends of the cut ribbed hose, and so far, no leaks.
Once installed, the heater seems to work well, but the temp setting on the dial doesn't match the 2 thermometers in the tank. The thermometers both read ~2 degrees higher than the dial. As long as this remains consisant, this isn't a big deal. The ambient temp in the house will be as low as 65, but the heater doesn't seem to have any trouble maintaining the tank at 78.
It is nice to be able to not have a glass tube heater showing in the tank, though. Makes for a cleaner looking setup.

My first fish was a little crazy and used to swim frantically around the tank banging into the walls. Turns out he smashed the glass heater and the rest (along with the fish) is history. Went to the "in-line" heater version after that and this heater works great. Use it in a 30 gallon, acrylic tank.Read Best Reviews of Hydor ETH 200 In-Line External Heater 200w 5/8" hose - Original Eth 201 Here
I bought one of these to use with a Fluval 306 canister filter and 50 gallon tank. Connecting it to the filter was not straight forward since Fluval uses ribbed hoses. I ended up using a clear 5/8" PVC hose from the filter to the intake of the heater and then used the rubber connector and the ribbed hose on the discharge to the tank. So far in nearly 6 months of use this has worked flawlessly with no leaks.I can't say enough about how well the heater works as far as controlling the tank temperature. I have a digital thermometer and it never fluctuates more than +/.1 degrees no matter what the room temperature is. You do hear a slight click when the the heater turns on or off which means they use a mechanical relay to control the voltage to the heating element. I like this as most heaters use a solid state relay (think transistor) which is usually the reason heaters fail in the "on" state and fry the tank, SSR's almost always fail "on".
If you have a canister filter you can't go wrong with one of these heaters.

I have this installed on the output of a Fluval 206 canister filter. Keeps the turtle water at 80 degrees effortlessly. The outside of the unit does not get very warm, so it is not a problem having it rest against the aquarium background. The tank is a 55 gallon with about 40 gallons of water in it. I took about a foot of the black flexible Fluval tubing and put a rubber end on it with silicone, then covered that with heat shrink tubing. It attaches firmly to the compression fitting. I had a clip that slides over the tank rim, so attached the heater to that with a cable tie. It is very lightweight. Love it!Tuesday, February 4, 2014

I bought this filter to replace the one that came with my little table top aquarium (which broke the first week). This filter is wonderful! It's so easy to set up and it's so quiet you can't hear it. I sometimes have to stick my hand in the water to make sure it's still working, which it is! It provides a little current for my fish which I think makes them feel more at home, like in a natural environment.Saturday, January 4, 2014

AG 2.5 GAL MINI BOW KIT-BLUE
The filter is large and takes up about 15-20% of the tank, so the one of the bettas is more cramped than the other (I will eventually upgrade the filter). Also, when the filter was on "high", it created too much current/water flow and it sucked up their food before they had a chance to eat it the "medium" setting seems to work fine.
**** Important *** If you need to use the divider, you have to be careful about moving/handling the tank a small amount of pressure on the tank distorts its shape enough to move the placement of the divider. This is an easy problem to fix you can see if the divider has moved out of its groove at the top and you can slide it back. But when I switched the filter from high to medium, I apparently handled the tank enough to move the divider out of place, so there was a small space in the front (the bow shape contributes to this problem)*** Here's the funny part, when I lowered the filter rate, I also switched the slightly larger betta to the side of tank without the filter and the smaller one to the filter side. The next morning they had switched themselves back! My husband was so freaked out he woke me up. We thought they had jumped to the other sides, but then we saw the blue Betta slip between the front of the tank and the divider to the other side. I panicked because I thought they were going to fight before I moved the one back, but they didn't. And when they switched sides, they had to have crossed paths, but they don't appear to have fought. If I didn't know better, I'd say they've gotten downright chummy. So just check the divider when you clean or move the tank.

I have 3 zebra danos and some live plants in my tank, and have had it set-up since June 2007. I removed the filter it came with since it took up 1/5 of the aquarium space, but if you have fish that love to poo, you might want to leave it in there. Instead I use a Red Sea nano filter (with another manufacturer's carbon filter) and it keeps the tank sparkling.Change the water once a week (about half of it) and don't over feed your fishies and the tank will be perfect.My main issue is this that is comes with a filter that is too big for the tank and the hood will not go on properly. Any sort of of fish that jumps could be in danger in this tank due to a small opening in the back. I've only had this tank for a few weeks but I definately will buy a new, smaller filter soon, other wise the fish I keep in there are fine and the tank is adequate for a few small fish.I bought this aquarium for my betta and I just love it. It is very cute, and the light provides the perfect temperature 76 degrees of water. My betta really loves it too. I've never seen him so active! He has the perfect amount of space in the right temperature water, and the filter is quiet and works very well. My only complaint is that the top of the aquarium (lid) is not the best quality. It also says it's suitable for two betta fish, with a divider that you can use to separate them. However, split in two, the space is very limited for the fish to swim, so really this is a one-betta tank. Don't get it for two bettas. I do recommend it though. Super low maintenance, great price, and your betta or other fish will be very happy!

Petego Pet at Work Pet Carrier
I dont get my use out of my bag anymore bc he didn't like how small it was unless it was expanded fully but I still think the bag is probably perfect for most. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a pub bigger than 15 lbs and should be fairly stocky/short.

This product is practical, functional, strong and nicely designed. With this combination of an expandable rucksack and a folding dome, my dog and I can go to and stay at more places more easily, therefore more frequently, than before. My dog willingly and happily enters the rucksack as well as the dome, and comfortably stays in there. This is definitely one of the items that I should have bought sooner!Read Best Reviews of Petego Pet at Work Pet Carrier Here
This is a well made, practical carrier that I expect to last for years to come.Unfortunately, if you use the laptop section for anything bulky it bulges into the dog's area which is the main reason I did not give it 5 stars.
Also, the cushion that comes with it is not at all useful, and it required a blanket (supplied by me) wrapped around the dog's support area to keep that section comfortable for my dog.I love this bag, I took my 2 lb Chihuahua to the vet in it when I had her spayed. I was worried about there being to much space, but with a good blanket, it was fine. I had to take the bus at the time, and I had to pick her up after school, so I had textsbooks in there. But she was comfortable the whole way through, and it was structurally safe.
