Underwater Galleries AUG3212 Aztec Ruin

Underwater Galleries AUG3212 Aztec RuinIt's well made a repro of the Aztec torture disk platforms. The rendering is okay, but the piece is a very bland cream-white color that doesn't do much for the tank. Not much of an accent to the decor.

Ethical Contempo Tessa Food and Treat Dispenser for Dogs

Ethical Contempo Tessa Food and Treat Dispenser for DogsWe have a Lakeland terrier and an Affenpinscher both love this toy and play with it in different ways. The terrier bats it around until the treats come out, the Affenpinscher tries to bite it and pick it up.

Well, the Affenpinscher managed to fit her lower jaw through one of the side dispensing holes and could not get out. Lots of screaming and blood I'm afraid before we managed to cut it off her.

So if your dog has a small lower jaw, please be careful no way the Lakeland's jaw could ever fit through that small hole, but the Affenpinscher was small enough.

My 10 yr old Golden had grown bored with her toys. I discovered this treat dispenser and she now has a new favorite toy. She chases it around the house as it wobbles like those old Weebles Wobble toys of years ago. She quickly learned if she batted and nosed it around enough to get it going, small treats would come shooting out. You get to decide just how difficult or easy you want the treats to emerge. When this one wears out, we're definitely getting another one.

Apparently, for a brief time anyway, PetSmart carried these toys. (Contempo.) I came across them late though, and bought the pink model at about half the price it is here on Amazon. Only because PetSmart had already sent it to the clearance bin! I can't imagine why!

I bought this toy as a birthday present for our Lab mix who loves puzzles and a little challenge. I put some of her Blue Buffalo dry food in here and set the slot just barely big enough. She has a great time with it.

Now, for a con... Due to it's design, when it's empty she can (and will) chew on the plastic top. So this is not a toy I leave out for her. We do love it though!

This product does not hold a lot of dog food not even a cup. And the holes are too big. My puppy was able to get all the food out of there within a couple of minutes. I did adjust the setting to restrict the flow of food from bottom to top. I will try to reduce the size of the holes but for the price I should not have to spend time and effort to make this a usable dispenser. Save your money or buy the tug-a-jug or bob-a-lot.

Update 12/27/2012 I used duct tape to close one hole and reduce the size of another so now it takes my puppy a little longer to get the food out.

My dog has a very short attention span and loses interest in toys quickly. We just received this toy for her "first birthday" and she has been at it for over an hour! What a cool invention for smart, active dogs. I'm going to try out some other Tessa treat dispensers. Very impressed!

Como Aquarium Artificial Movable Tail Swimming Fish 5 Pcs

Como Aquarium Artificial Movable Tail Swimming Fish 5 PcsThese little fish are just a blast; my husband has a small aquarium but didn't want real fish in it. I got him these fish for Christmas and everyone just loves them! One had a mis-shapen tail and didn't move well, so we got rid of it. But the rest bob up and down and move with the water. Very, very entertaining!

I got these fish for a disabled friend, who cannot care for a live one. I thought that they would be weighted differently, so that they would float at different levels. In the tank with the air bubbles, or still water, they stuck together on the top like a wet blanket. These would be suitable for the mind of a 2-year-old, but he would surely choke on the cheap plastic. No use for anybody, young or old. RIP OFF!!

Tropical Flakes - 1 lb Fish Food

Tropical Flakes - 1 lb Fish Foodwhile economical, this fish food breaks up too much in the water and quickly accumulates in the filter. maybe if you have a lot of small fish this is a good choice, but essentially you end up pouring powder into your tank.

It looks good and my fish like it. The only thing though is most of the flakes in the package are really small and have been crushed.

Not recommended for big fish

I have a 90 gallon tank and I have put a bunch of fish in it. I figured I would need a lot of fish food so I bought a pound of fish food. It is going to last a few years. I think the food will last longer then all my fish. I will probably will not have to buy fish food for a really long time. $20 bucks is a good price.

I read some reviews of this where people claimed the fish don't really like this. My friends, fish are stupid. They have tiny little brains. They would eat donkey poop if I put it in the tank. My fish are more than grateful for this food. It keeps them alive and it costs me less than Tetra-min. This is all I ask.

this food is a good value for nice colorful flakes, which will give your fish bright color.

my fish gobble it up!

Instant Ocean Sea Salt

Instant Ocean Sea Salt, 25-GallonWhile aquarists debate and discuss which brand is the best, labs and universities continue to select Instant Ocean for their studies. Instant Ocean is one of the largest makers of marine salt in the world. They know what they are doing. On the other end of the spectrum you have true hand-made marine salt. I have made marine salt in a lab. I used 100% super purity chemicals and salts. It was a lengthy process and very expensive. We used the salts for years and also compared the tanks to Instant Ocean salts. There was no difference in the tanks. The lab no longer makes marine salt. It was easier to buy Instant Ocean.

I've been keeping marine aquariums, including reef tanks, for seven years now. That's not a terribly long time but it means I've done a ton of water changes by now ;). Even with all of these new special "reef salts", I still use regular Instant Ocean. The brand has been around for a long time and is therefore well tested and reliable. I often hear of issues with other salts, including IO's Reef Crystals, but good ol' regular Instant Ocean mixes clearly and without wacky water parameters every time. In addition to using it in my own tanks, I've always chosen to use this brand in the lab (marine ecology research) and it's the choice of most scientists.

Zanusa Pet Products Resin Ornament - Hollow Log

Zanusa Pet Products Resin Ornament - Hollow LogThis looks just like a hollowed out piece of wood my Betta loves swimming up inside and just hanging in the middle of it he apparently feels secure inside it it fits in my 5 gallon tank just fine

Smaller than I thought it would be. I was hoping for something on the 8-10 inch range or larger. The log is about 5-6 inches max. Its in my tank right now so I don't want to pull it out. I'll update with the size next time I do a cleaning. It is nice and fits in with my other mangrove root tree stump type things in the tank. My Cichlids like it too.

Florida Crushed Coral Aquarium Gravel, 15 Lbs

Florida Crushed Coral Aquarium Gravel, 15 LbsI got this to put in a sump in media bags to buffer my freshwater tank's PH. Before the crushed coral, my PH was reading a flat 6.0 and bottomed out after every water change. But now, my tank's PH is holding at a solid 6.4/6.5 which is good because I have an Amazon River Pacu and they like acidic water. NOTE if you're buying this coral to use for this purpose, start with a small media bag, wait a week or so, test the PH, and add a small amount more if need be. Reason being, if you raise the PH too much or too quickly, ammonia becomes more toxic. AND NEVER use baking soda to manage your PH, it's a shock to the system and can kill your fish as non toxic ammonia becomes toxic free ammonia with the rising PH.

I like it a lot for the aquarium (even though I needed like 1% of what comes in this bag). Be aware that you'll need to rinse this A LOT before putting it in the tank. I probably took 15 minutes to do so before I thought it was sufficient.
