Marineland 31501 Screen, 2.5-Gallon

Marineland 31501 Screen, 2.5-GallonI got a small 2.5 gallon glass aquarium at my local Petco so my beta fish has a little more room to swim. Unfortunately, they don't sell their mesh tops there for a tank that small. So I went online and ordered this. They didn't give a lot of information about the product so I almost didn't order it, but it was the only 2.5 gallon cover I could find and for 8 bucks, what the heck. I'm glad I did. My tank is 12"L x 6"W x 8"H and this screen fits perfectly on the top. It doesn't sit over the edge or anything, fits right in the black plastic outline. It also has locking handles. Basically a knob with a little metal oval bit on the opposite end that twists around so when you set it on top if your tank, the metal bits tuck under the black plastic lip. Perfect so nothing hops out. As for the screen itself, it's 12" x 6" and it appears to be made of pretty sturdy metal for how small it is. Lots of holes. 5 stars because it does exactly what it needs to do and does it well.

works pretty well, but i wish the holes were a little smaller. it locks onto the top very well though, i would recommend this for ANY type of reptile or somthing like that.

The lid is excellent for keeping my scorpions in. The only negative is the twist locks feel a little loose..

Como Separating Fry Double-deck Clear Divider Fish Tank Aquarium

Como Separating Fry Double-deck Clear Divider Fish Tank AquariumThis could be a good product it says it floats and it did for awhile "moves in tank" so I suctioned it to the sides but the suction cups it came with tore the just aren't that great so if u have some fish friendly suction cups it may work good. It's a cool double decker fry tank but the second layer clip was broke assumedly due to USPS it did ship all the way from Hong Kong. Need one that hooks on the side

It wasnt what I thought but usable. The top wont stay on in the water thats why it only gets a 3 star rating.

biOrb Cleaning Pads - 3 Pack

biOrb Cleaning Pads - 3 PackI've used these pads every time I've cleaned my BiUbe aquarium for the past 7 years, and the acrylic is still as clear and scratch-free as when it was new, and I often wait too long to clean it and the algae can get a bit thick in spots.

Actually getting a algae eater fish would be more environmentally friendly. But these pads work well and do the trick.

Fluval M Submersible Heater

Fluval M 200-Watt Submersible HeaterDon't be misled by the information on the packaging that says this heater should not be submersed completely. I called Fluval and was told that they were forced to put that in the instructions and on the unit for the sake of Canadian requirements. The unit is fully submersible and it keeps my aquarium at a more even temperature than any other heater I've purchased. In addition the temperature dial seems to be much more accurate. Good unit! Buy it!

First, I selected 2 days shipping through Amazon Prime and received this item exactly on time, in the afternoon of the second day. It was packaged in a box with bags of air. I appreciated that since this is a fragile product.

The first thing I noticed upon opening the box was that this heater is huge for the wattage. Mine is 50 watts, to be used in a 10 gallon aquarium, and it is almost exactly the same height as the aquarium itself. Then when I put it in the aquarium it became clear that the reflective surface of the heater serves only to make it MORE visible. It just looks like this gleaming shiny metal object in there, and doesn't really seem to actually reflect the colors surrounding it, but instead it reflects the aquarium light above. Because of this I decided to lay it against the bottom back of the aquarium so that it is obscured by plants, and the cord goes right up the seam of the aquarium where it isn't noticeable. If you're buying this for its subtlety, you'll be disappointed.

BUT, despite this, I am pleased with my purchase to far. It has been keeping my 10 gallon betta tank appropriately warm, within a degree of the setting and that's all I really care about. I was going to get a Hydor Theo but this was bit cheaper. It seems to perform just as well. Granted I have only had it for about a day and a half, but I will update my review if the performance changes.

In case anyone's wondering, the heater appears to be some sort of metal or metallic material encased in glass, so it is fragile like other glass heaters. It's not made of metal on the outside.

Finally, I wanted to dispel the myth that this heater is not fully submersible. Although there is a fill line on the heater, my research has shown that everyone who has called the company directly has been told that the heater can be fully submerged safely, and that the fill line was included only due to some sort of strange government regulation.

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

Thought I would edit and say this is still heating well for me. I've also moved it into a different tank, and was able to position it in such a way that it is not very visible. I'm uploading a picture for reference.

This is a very nice heater. The reflective surface makes it blend in. It IS submersible and is about 12" long. Like all heaters, you have to tweak it to find out the precise setting .......... no problem. I recommend it.

I purchased two of these for my 110 gallon tank. They keep the temperature right where I need it. My main issue is that there is a "do not place below this line" and it is about 1" below the "do not allow water below this line". My tank evaporates 2 inches in a week... so if I didn't fully submerge it, it would overheat due to lack of water. I've hard it submerged now for a couple of months with no problem; however, it is concerning that there is a max water level on a submergable heater. It works great and is working fully submerged, but I gave it a 4 because I suspect this might void the warranty.

This is an excellent heater! We have a 44 gallon tank. Our tank has stayed at a constant 72 degrees since I started using this heater. Our last heater was a cheap piece of junk and we got what we paid for. But this heater has kept our tank a constant 72 degrees in winter and in summer, with our window ac running in the same room as our fish tank!

Great product!

Laguna PowerGlo LED Mini Pond Light Kit with 2-Pack 40-Bulb LED Lights

Laguna PowerGlo LED Mini Pond Light Kit with 2-Pack 40-Bulb LED LightsUse this for my fountain in the front yard. It really lights it up nice, the photo cell works well, comes on at dusk and off at dawn. Lots of cord too.

I purchased this product to light up a waterfall I built at night. First the good:

*Long cords make it easy to hide cords while placing lights wherever you want. This is both from the plug itself plus between the two lights.

*Bright enough to really light up the area.

*Quick connects make it really easy to install and use without any alterations.

Things that could have been used to improve this product:

*I personally would have preferred a softer whitish blue light or maybe even some filters to turn it to a light blue color. While these do a great job lighting the waterfall, they are definitely a yellow white color which is harsher than I would like. (not marking off due to the fact that they did a great job advertising and I knew this when I purchased)

*While these will sit on the ground or a flat ledge just fine, I wish there was something on the bottom to secure the lights if you wanted them at a specific angle. Maybe a little plastic jutting out with a pre-drilled screw hole on two sides so you could screw it into a angled board or zip tie it to a pipe?

*While the lights do adjust, they will only move back in forth on set patterns rather than fully moveable which means you might be slightly off as you cannot stop it anywhere on the swivel....

Overall, this was a great product that I would recommend to someone building a waterfall. I have not had any options with the light sensor or lights going out while submerged but will update my review if this happens.

Lights are fine but hooked to a timer (not included) because after the third night of activation, the unit failed.

Light are working OK and doing what was described.

When I called the vendor, I was told to put everything back into its original box and they would repair or replace.

I spent several hours installing/threading wires from the outlet to the transformer on to the lights (cosmetic purist)

did not want to go through the same routine in reverse and then reinstall the new/repaired unit once returned to me.

Since the customer service tech seemed not to accept that I simply return the detachable ON/Off Light sensor unit

"because policy is that the lights must be returned in the package theycame in" and that was that; I insisted on speaking

to her supervisor, who seemed emminently more reasonable and said she woul try to find a replacement Light Sensor.

All that transpired two weeks ago, and I'm still without the sensor.

Moral of the story: Only buy this Pond Light Kit if you can use it without the ON/OFF dusk to dawn feature. Most lower

end sensors, if they fail will do so within days of first use, if that works in your intended application, then go for it.

These were a real find! They come with two submersible lights with a daylight sensor (on at dusk off at dawn) and a long cord. The lighting is bright but not over-powering. Perfect mood lighting in a mid-size fountain. They sit on the bottom without any need to mount or clip them. By day they are inconspicuous and unobtrusive. A great product.

Marineland Penguin Power Head

Marineland PH0550 Penguin Power Head 550, 145GPHI purchased this to replaced an approx. 6 yr. old Penguin 660.

I was so pleased with the old powerhead I wanted to replace with same.

I was glad to see the model 660 was still available. The reliability and flexability would be hard to beat, especially at the price. They withstand being cloged, power outage, and being run "dry" during partial water chages. Definately a solid performer. Having tended over 60 aquiriums (salt and fresh)in the past at a local pet store and the personal use at home gives me a good idea of what works and what doesn't. This thing runs like a champ! Functional, flexable, tough and inexpensive.

I've used this pump now for about a year and it still works perfectly. Water circulation is outstanding. Only gripe I would have is that they need to be primed after every water change. For some reason, they hold the air inside the pump preventing water from flowing. Simple remedy is to just turn the unit upside down in the water for a few seconds to let the air out, once the water starts flowing again, just reinsert it back into the filter tube. Works perfect after that.

this pump head is an awesome buy it is whisper quiet and incredibly powerful would definitely buy more. I give this thing five stars, its quiet efficient and when you plug it in its so quiet that you never know it's on.

there's no knocking noise here unlike pumps from others... great product

JBJ 28 Gallon Nano Cube Aquarium - Cabinet Stand MTS-60 (Tank Not Included)

JBJ 28 Gallon Nano Cube Aquarium - Cabinet Stand MTS-60Parts were mis-marked as to where they went together per the instructions. Also, hardware provided (4ea. Countersink Screws)that are used to hold on the top Plate were too short for installation. I had to go to my local Home Depot store to buy longer screws.

The instructions stated there were pre-drilled holes in the shelves to assist with assembly. There were no pre-drilled holes and we have to drill our own. There was damage around all the screw holes. This is a very nice looking stand, however, the difficulties to the assembly of the middle and top shelves squashes the enthusiasm a little.

Tetra ReptoFilter Disposable Filter Cartridges, Medium, 3 Pack

Tetra ReptoFilter Disposable Filter Cartridges, Medium, 3 PackI own five filters that use these cartridges and they work very well, however I found that if you buy the Tetra 26160 Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridge, Unassembled, Medium, 12-Pack you're going to save $$$.

You can reuse the plastic frames (recycle, recycle) from these cartridges. You'll end up paying less than a buck a piece for the Unassembled ones!

They look and work the same.

They are both manufactured by the same company, Tetra.

Prime also!

These filters keep the tank clean as long as you change them regularly of course and they fit my filter.

These filters are perfect. We have a red eared slider and they are pretty messy. These filters do a great job of keeping his home clean. I've ordered them before and not had a problem yet. The only thing I would like to see is that you get three in a pack. Our tank has 2 filters so we have to order two boxes at a time. That gives us 3 changes. I would rather see 4 filters in a box. I would have to order less often. With free shipping they cost less than at the pet stores or Wal-Mart.

Prime, 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz.

Prime, 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz.It does a great job on treating tap water.

The smell of this stuff is not great, but goes away after the water is treated.

This stuff really works! It does have a small foul odor to it, but it dissipates soon enough. It only takes a day or two for this stuff to work it's magic on high levels of Ammonia and such. My water is crystal clear and my African Cichlids are happy. Two thumbs up!

i decided to try this line of aquarium products because after reading the literature on it, it seemed the more innovative direction to take in striving for creating optimal turtle tank conditions. i have had great results with seachem's purigen, which is a "re-chargeable" substitute for carbon in your aquarium filter.....if u inow turtles, they are very dirty and consequently, i was spending a great deal on carbon, which is really just a throw away after one use. anyhow, the prime product is used when u do water changes and when i first saw the size. the bottle, it seemed so small until i read the instructions....you only use a teaspoon for 50 gallons. the combination of the seachem products is resulting in better test results on my ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels and i don't have to do as much maintenance on the filter and the tank it seems. i would heartily recommend this product and plan to continue on with ordering items in their line!!

TOM TM1277 Aquarium Filter Cartridge 3 pack fits Rapids Power Filter PF-80

TOM TM1277 Aquarium Filter Cartridge 3 pack fits Rapids Power Filter PF-80The Rapids Power Filter is not very common in big box stores like Petco, so I either need to drive 15 miles to buy it from a local store or get it from Amazon. The price is the same ($10).

I was recommended to change these filters about once a month, which is a reasonable upkeep cost ($3/mo).

My 5 gallon tank stays clean and the fish are happy... so there's not much else to ask for!

The filter works well for the fish, however, the price tag is high and shipping costs are high too.

I guess low demand and high cost to off set low sales of item. Overall, a good product.

Deluxe Goldfish Bowl Start Kit

Deluxe Goldfish Bowl Start Kit Size: Medium/ 2.5 GallonsI got this despite what the other reviewer said. Mainly because I myself have a betta. This tank is more than perfect for my needs. It was the cheapest tank I've seen that included everything. The net alone is worth 5 dollars and the bowl is worth like 15 so you get what you pay for but with free shipping basically. Anyways, they could have included more gravel, but it's not a big deal. The plant is good enough. The net is good enough. The bowl is great. Very large enough for a male betta. Check out the photos I uploaded so you get a better idea of what's included.

I don't know who came up with this product but clearly the responsible party does not know anything about goldfish. This 2.5G starter kit is a death chamber for goldfish. Goldfish are not hardy like the wonderful betta splendens. Goldfish are high maintenance critters. First they eat a lot of vegetation and well...what goes in must come out. In other words, they have to relieve themselves quite a bit. For their bathroom habits, goldfish requires a powerful filter which this product was not designed to hold. Secondly, goldfish are social fish. They like to be among their own kind and 2.5 gallons is not big enough for a few goldfish, let alone one goldfish. If anything you can use this start kit for betta fish but you will need a heater for it. Bettas are tropical fish whose origins are based in Thailand. They are used to warm waters in the range of 75 to 80 degrees fahrenheit. You will also need a cover because bettas are jumpers. Oh and try to do water changes every 3 days. After all fishes live in their own toilets. The ammonia in their waste does affect their health. Products like this so-called Goldfish Bowl Start Kit is an abomination. The company who makes these awful products are profiting off bad information passed around at pet stores and online. Please do your research in fish forums before you invest in a fish regardless of species. If you don't, the consequences could be fatal for the fish.

Perfecto Manufacturing APF67243 Majesty Stand for Aquarium, 24 by 12-Inch, Black

Perfecto Manufacturing APF67243 Majesty Stand for Aquarium, 24 by 12-Inch, BlackI was so disappointed to receive a plain, flat wood style of the Black Pine Majesty Stand. I expected to receive the raised board design as pictured. I agree with Hardy85 whose review stated the same complaint and figured it to be a more recent version. I suggest you contact the seller before you make your purchase and ask about the product. The stand was packed well, however, the door hinges were loose and the floor base is uneven which causes it to wobble. Overall structure is workable (I can fix the problems), but the bottom line is always BUYER BEWARE.

The only reason I gave this product a 4 out of 5 and not a 5 is because the product looks different then the picture which isn't a big deal but it was different. The product I received must have been a new version. But anyways the product looks great and no problems whatsoever. Quick on shipping as well. Thanks!!!
