Marine Service Kit

Marine Service KitI've had aquariums since I was in grade school, and the biOrb aquariums are hands-down the best and easiest to take care of I've ever had. The service kits make maintenance super easy. I'd never had a marine aquarium before and heard that they were very difficult, but I've not had any problems with my biOrb. The marine service kit makes keeping the aquarium up a breeze! I have the biOrb Life 60 Aquarium, 16 Gallons, Chill Red.

I have been around fish tanks my whole life and the biorb system and products are amazing. This marine service kit only takes me 20 minutes per month to maintain a beautiful SALT water aquarium.

Tetra Submersible Heater

Tetra Submersible 50-Watt HeaterI wish I could give this product a worse score than 1 star. Purchased this heater from Wal-mart in a pinch because the heater that came with the aquarium broke (was a very cheap one) and I didn't want the temperature to drop since it was winter. Kept an eye on the thing for the first few weeks of having it and everything seemed to be ok. This week the dumb thing short circuited because it got water inside somehow and continually heated the tank. I discovered this when I got home from work. I noticed unusual behavior in a frog I had in the aquarium. On further inspection my other frog was already dead on the bottom of the tank and the water was almost 100 degrees F. The frog that was still alive was just floating in the current from the filter and had a bad fungal infection that had sprouted up overnight. Removed him to a treatment tank and did what we could but the poor guy didn't make it. This is a horrible product. I would not recommend this to anyone and I wish I hadn't bought the product because I lost 2 very dear pets.

I have purchased 3 of these Tetra Heaters in the past 5 months, and all of them have quit. The warranty only allows you to pay shipping both ways, either to fix yours, or they will send another one. I do not want any more of these Tetra heaters, and am looking for another brand. I wouldn't waist your money.

I bought this heater (from WalMart)last week for my 5 gallon tank. When I first put it in the tank the red light came on. After maybe a minute or so the light turned off. I wondered whether or not it was heating the water...

After a couple days I moved the heater to my 10 gallon tank. The light did not come on, even after unplugging and replugging it. It's been in this tank for about three days, and the light hasn't come on. The temperature has actually dropped a few degrees since being in this tank. I will be returning it to the store as soon as possible.

It electrocuted my catfish... Why? Because they don't do quality control in China. Yes, you can feel how angry I am for killing my catfish which I've had for years. I wish I could give a negative star on this review. Never buy Tetra products, you have been warned.

I was researching on a good heater for a 1.5gal fish tank, and I came across the Tetra submersible HT 10. It fits very well into the tank, and the heater maintains a constant temperature at 76F. I am satisfied with this heater. However, you cannot change the temperature setting. It has been 3 months since i bought this heater, and i have no complaints yet. My fish is healthy and well heated with this HT10 from tetra.

Zilla Terrarium Liner

Zilla 11686 Terrarium Liner, 10-Gallon, GreenI am rating this product four stars as I did for the 20L/29 product due to the quality of the product. This particular item, however, is not sized for a 20L aquarium. The sparse item description has been brought to the attention of the seller (Ozbo), but they have declined to act upon the suggestion to augment the description with an actual length/width specification. Be aware that this is not for a 20L (30" x 12") tank.

I use it in our rats cage. It absorbs and cuts the smell of the urine. Its easy to rinse off and reuse.

This product does what it's supposed to. My chinese water dragon loves it over the bark chips or dirt, and it looks really good.

where's the problem? well, I ordered what was supposed to be a 55 gallon reptile carpet. I have a 55 gallon reptile tank...

so why does't it fit?! I even cut it to cover as much room as i could. with the 3 pieces it covered everything but a little 2 inch by 5 inch square in the back. It is really irritating. I ended up putting a wet towel in that area until i can order another carpet just to cover that one spot.

I thought the water was good based on fish apprenant health but now I can know for sure. test strips are a must have and I saved so much finding them on Amazon.

Repitat Reptile House 5 gal Flat Back Hex Acrylic Habitat with Metal Screen Top

Repitat Reptile House 5 gal Flat Back Hex Acrylic Habitat with Metal Screen TopI bought this for my 3 pet hermit crabs and am very pleased. The only thing I wish they had included was some sort of backdrop/ foam wall/ climbing wall. But this is a very versatile, sturdy, no-nonsense terrarium. My crabs have since moved to another tank (Exo-Terra), just because of space-saving and personal preferences. But this 5 Gal is plenty big and looks nice anywhere you place it. Also easy to access (no fidgeting), and I love the extra feature of the metal add-on lamp holder (took 30 seconds to put on). I will definitely use this tank again in the future for my next reptile-type pet.

We recently purchased a hermit crab while on vacation. My son later purchased two more crabs, so we needed something bigger than the small habitat we had. This has been great. The crabs have plenty of room to move around. We do use the coconut fiber mixed with hermit crab sand. Also, we have a heating pad, that I keep underneath it to maintain the correct level of humidity for them.

This cage is extremely durable, and worth the cost (I paid $35 from Amazon). It is perfect to use with hermit crabs!

Was looking for a turtle tank, not heavy like a glass aquarium, and not the typical smallish plastic ones at the pet store. This was a Great idea, has some beauty because of the shape, and large enough for 2 little sliders, easy to clean, big enough to put a suction platform for them to get up on, and it comes with a nice metal mesh cover.

They say that there should be 5 gallons per hermit crab.

Putting this tank at a one hermit crab home. If you have two tiny little hermies, this would be a good STARTER tank.

I do not advise buying it though. I am sure the product is great, but it is not ideal for proper hermit crab care.

It is rather cruel to have one lonely hermit crab. They love friends! But do not go out and buy 5 of them if you have not had a successful molting process. I have had many different habitats in the last 3 years for my hermit crabs. I started out in a metal (DO NOT USE FOR HERMIT CRABS, THEY ARE TOXIC) cage habitat then upgraded to another easily portable plastic/metal cage (once again no metal!) then upgraded to a 10 gallon but found that after I started adding the salt water dish, fresh (DE chlorinated) water dish, food DISHES, climbing items, 1 hide out per hermit crab that my 10 gallon tank seemed smaller and smaller. I have recently upgraded to a 20 gallon tank and so far so good, but still feels like I could have more room and easily fill it with more things for my hermies. until i have a place of my own, i will stick with a 20 gallon but hope to have a much bigger crabitat one day!

If you plan on getting more hermit crabs for your little critter i highly advise a bigger tank or you will soon be spending more money on yet another tank. but this 5 gallon would not be the worst choice for your hermit crabs, but it is rather cruel. they need space!

Hagen Fluval View Aquarium, 4-Gallon

Hagen Fluval View Aquarium, 4-GallonJust set this little tank up for my Betta, as I was looking for something with a low water flow that was not only functional but also beautiful. I wanted something unique but that wouldn't trade form for functionality.

This tank is perfect.

Brilliantly easy to set up, and simple to maintain.

My betta loves it and there is PLENTY of room. It's so spacious, in fact, that I am trying to figure out what else to put in there maybe some cloud tetras and ghost shrimp? because it really is silly how much room he has all to himself.

The filter is hidden behind the white and green background, the whole thing slides out if you need to access it, or you lift the entire top off. There is hood over the filter compartment, keeping it hidden, but no cover over the center opening (makes feeding fish easy, but may be a problem if you have a "jumper"). The light switch is easily accessible and cleverly hidden within the white plastic top, and there is a white, off, and blue LED setting.

I feel there is enough light should you want to add live plants to the tank.

You also have the option of spreading your substrate (gravel suggested, as the intake for the filter is along the bottom and I would suspect sand might pose a problem) across the whole tank as shown, or there is a nifty little reservoir in the center. That's what I did, and it looks great. Plus, any sinking food that falls out to the sides is easily found and eaten by my Betta (as it's not hidden in gravel).

Overall I think for the price, design, functionality, and quality this tank is a GREAT buy.

It would make an excellent gift, and would be suitable for a Betta or 2 small goldfish, or add a heater and set it up for a couple of fancy guppies or other tropical fish. It's taller than it is wide, so keep that in mind when selecting inhabitants. I really love this tank. The filter does make a barely audible hum, in contrast to my Fluval Edge 6 gal (which I am crazy in love with!!) I have in the same room which is absolutely silent. (I use that for 3 little fancy goldfish)

I am pleased with this aquarium, because the filter pump is quiet, access is easy, the lighting is visually effective, and it holds a relatively large volume of water given its small "foot" profile. The disadvantages are the flip side of the advantages and should be attended to carefully by potential buyers. The aquarium has a small surface to vertical depth ratio; therefore, it may be prone to oxygen depletion, yet an aeration system is not included. (I did not need one, because I use mine to house a betta fish who can breathe atmospheric oxygen, and I also find other ways to aerate.) The filter pump is quiet but also powerful, which may trouble some fish, as other reviewers suggested. (My betta fish manages just fine, but he does seek out the less turbulent areas to rest.) The lighting is visually effective, but it probably isn't enough for the plants, and it would have been nice to have a cheap timer or clock to go with it. Given that this aquarium has enough volume for two bettas, I wish there were an easy way to divide it in two. The green images of plants in the background are more pleasing than not, and the fish explored them at first, but they could have been printed on the plastic with a higher resolution. Finally, because the filter pump is relatively powerful, fish can get sucked in against the vent near the bottom of the back surface of the aquarium. They are generally able to dislodge themselves without problems, but I did end up adding more gravel to cover up the openings of the vent, and I am a bit concerned about straining the pump because of that; so my aquarium ended up with more gravel than was needed (perhaps a rock like the one in the picture could do the job). As another reviewer mentioned, there is space in the filter compartment for a heater, and that is where i keep mine. Finally, the filter cartridges do not see to be proprietary and can be found at very reasonable prices online. In sum, this aquarium works great for my purposes, but I am not sure that it would be as effective for different fish.

This is a great tank for a small number of fish -aethetically beautiful, easy to maintain so far, and very quiet. Set-up is easy. Just be careful when adding the gravel substrate because all acrylic tanks scratch easily. You'll need to purchase a small, compact heater (15 to 25 watts) to fit in the filter compartment, and add water conditioner and a liquid cycling agent if you want to add fish at the time of set up. A small sample of Nutrafin Cycle was included with the aquarium and worked well. Bettas don't like currents and the two small water returns in this tank do produce minimal vertical currents, but my betta figured out pretty quickly how to manage around those. Three weeks post-set-up, he seems very happy with his new space.

I was expecting a small tank, but it turned out very spacious. We call it the "Betta Mansion." The filter is quiet, but not whisper quiet about as loud as a hardrive spinning on a laptop. It's a great value and I highly recommend it.

Exotic Environments T-Rex Skull Aquarium Ornament , Small, 5-Inch by 3-Inch by 3-Inch

Exotic Environments T-Rex Skull Aquarium Ornament , Small, 5-Inch by 3-Inch by 3-InchI just got a bigger aquarium for my betta, it's long (so he has lots of room to swim back and forth) but narrow. This ornament is the perfect size for a narrow tank! He loves to swim in through the back or eye and peer out of the teeth. It makes him feel safe and enclosed but I can still see in. It also looks really, really neat...a t-rex skull; how cool is that? Add in the fact that it's offered at such a great price made this a must have for my tank.

I have been looking for something cheap, and nice looking for my tank. And I found it! I love this item, it has a entry way in the back, so fish can swim in there. This item, is the best.

Very nice product for a reasonable price. Good little foreground accent piece in larger tanks. My cherry barbs and especially my loache love it and swim though the head all the time. The loache can often be seen peeking his head out the mouth of the skull. Good detail and shading, pictures don't really do it justice. Looks great in the tank under the T-5 lights. It is nice to find a piece that the tank residents like as much as you do...nothing is as disappointing as putting in a new decoration that you think is really cool and they refuse to use it!

At first i wasn't sure about it, the size and the edges, but thought, it isn't too expensive, I'll try it. it's perfect! The edges are nearly sharp enough to bother my boys fins, and the size is perfect. It's his favorite little hidey, and when he's in there, it's so well hiden, you can't see him until he comes out to see what you want. Definately recommend it to people with small fish.

Hagen Elite Air Pump for Aquarium - 110 V

Hagen Elite Air Pump for Aquarium - 110 VYou know some things are not built to last, but this brand pump gets 5 STARS! We have had these for 12-15 years and they still work flawlessly just as they did the day we purchased them. Actually, we might have a few older than that, but it's been so long I can't remember. WISE INVESTMENT!

I bought this pump back in May 2010 my aquarium is I believe to be about 40 gallons may be a little larger I use two airiator wands in this aquarium, this little pump I thought might not be big enough to supply enough air but it does a very good job it does as good as my old pump that was much bigger the only problem with it is that does vibrate pretty much but if you set it on a piece of cardboard or something similar it works quite well overall for the money it is a really great deal.

Bought this to make compost tea in a 5 gallon bucket. I might have a defective unit because it won't make bubbles unless the end of the tubing is less than 1/2 inch from water surface. I noticed on the pump it has only 2.5 psi.

Ace Photo Digital shipped promptly and for free, so this is not a knock on them, but the two stars is for the product which did not perform as expected.

EDIT:

OK, my error. I had used a hose that did not seat properly. With the correctly sized hose this little pump worked great and percolated my compost tea in two days.

Aquarius Aq100004c Led Globe Bowl 1-Gallon Aquarium Kit

Aquarius Aq100004c Led Globe Bowl 1-Gallon Aquarium KitMy daughter loves it! you can even set the lights to different speeds along with the different colors. And her Betta loves it too!! great little worthwhile investment. everybody wins. Thanks :)

This is a product that is as described and the LED light top is really pretty and cool. You can change it from just red, blue, green, or white, to combinations of those colors, to flashing, to softly fading, etc. It's fun to play with and looks great if you get a glow in the dark plant for it.

However, bowls this small are very unhealthy for Betta fish and you HAVE to change the water at least once a week or it will die. Mine lasted about... two months, maybe, then suddenly got sick and died even though I'd been changing his water a lot. The water gets smelly and nasty fast even with just one betta. After my fish died I sold this product to someone at my school for a lot less than original price, and I don't plan on getting this product again. If you don't mind if your fish dies after awhile of changing the water a lot go ahead and get it, but I'm going to spend a little more money on a 5 gallon with a filter instead of this for sure.

JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 300 Aquarium Air Pump

JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 300 Aquarium Air PumpTitle says it all.

This thing sounds like a miniature motor running.

It completely drowns out my filter's sound which isn't really loud, but it does it to a point where you literally can't hear the filter unless you're a foot away.

Terrible unless you keep your aquarium in the basement or likewise isolated area.

Drove me insane.....only after 2 days too.

^^^ is amazing. Hardly any noise, super compact, blends in well.

It was quite silent for a few days but after a week it is soo annoying. If the pump is on an open shelf like mine it can be very disturbing..

I have a valve connected to control the airflow into the tank and when I increase the air amount the buzzing noise increases as well.. very disturbing.

The reviews said that this was a silent pump. I don't know if the noise is a result of a faulty product or a faulty design but this one is going back.
