CaribSea Arag-Alive 20-Pound Special Grade Reef Sand, Bahamas Oolite

CaribSea Arag-Alive 20-Pound Special Grade Reef Sand, Bahamas OoliteThis sand is a beautiful white color, but is VERY FINE. If you want that, then this is great. It does look beautiful once it settles, and is great for sand sifting animals.

Even with a very gentle flow the sand gets swept around the tank or worse kicked up into the water column, turning the whole the whole tank milky white.

this "sand" is so fine that it continually clouds up your tank. Not at all what I thought I was ordering. Most saltwater aquarium sand I have used in the past was much courser and did not cloud up aquarium every time a fish kicked it up.

this "sand" is so fine that it continually clouds up your tank... washed it off and put it in tank, instantly the tank is cloudy. next morning, a lot better, but still a little dirty/cloudy to it. stirred it up, emptied the cloudy water out of 3/4 of the 55 gallon tank, filled with clear water and still does the same time... like I said, I think the sand is just so fine that it floats around in the water and gives it a cloudy appearance.

When I ordered sand, I was expecting there to be no water or moisture involved. But behold a mid-size bag full of sand and water. It is a little misleading because it does state 20 pounds (lbs), however I feel part of it is the water. I let the sand dry out for a week and then used the sand to fill up my sandbags for photography. If I had kids, this sound would be fun to play with and you can basically make sand castle or whatever you imagination may bring. However, this fine grade, smooth, soft to touch sand is great for weights, but will never buy again.

Fish Food - Cichlid, 8.5 Oz.My green severum is a VERY picky eater.. won't eat flake nor floating pellets. However, she absolutely LOVES this food. It is like a thin waffer that slowly sinks, and doesn't dirty your water and filter. The price is great too, I only have to buy one 8.5oz container once a year or less. Thankyou Aquadine!!!

Zilla Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb

Zilla 09920 Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb, 50-WattI have used practically all of the reptile bulb brands, and this is the best red bulb under $25. Highly reccommend.

I bought several of these and use them for different reptiles. I have chameleons and a bearded dragon and it works great to keep the temperature up in there cages at night. It is too strong for my green tree python though I need the 60 watt she is in an 18x18x24 cage and it makes it too warm at night. The chameleon is in a 24x24x48 screen cage and it is perfect for it. My bearded dragon is in an 18x18x36 cage and it works great for it.

Burnt out within a week I do not recommend worst bulb I've tried wont buy this one again I guess that's why it was cheap

Want Zilla Night Red Incandescent Heat Bulb Discount?

This is a truly terrible product. I bought two bulbs, with one as backup for when the first burnt out. The first one burnt out after 2 weeks, which was disappointing. I replaced the bulb with my backup, which proceeded to burn out within 1 day. By contrast, my daytime bulb, which is just a generic incandescent white bulb, is working just fine. Both are housed in the same dual dome housing, so I doubt it's a problem with the housing. I moved the white bulb to the red bulb's socket to make sure, and it worked fine. I don't know exactly what is defective about these bulbs (perhaps an improper vacuum seal), but I would stay away from them.

Jardin Plastic Aquarium Tank Plants Grass Decoration, 10-Piece, Green

Jardin Plastic Aquarium Tank Plants Grass Decoration, 10-Piece, GreenThis product exceeded my expectations. Really nice heavy base. The tops are firmly attached in the bases so no bother with them falling apart. Leaves are nice and soft and sway gently in the tank. Great hiding place for shy fish. Highly recommend!

These plants were easy to place-no floatersand really fill in well. You recieve a lot more for your money than at the aquarium store.

The grass is pretty cheap and flimsy where it attaches to the base, and I wound up breaking part of one and all of another trying to put together grass that came apart in shipping. Nevertheless, the end effect, with gravel covering the base is pretty nice. Big bang for the buck, and I would buy it again. No problems so far with pieces coming off in the aquarium.

I have a lot of water movement and wanted something that didn't move around a lot and these work great. There is just enough movement to see the water current but not so much that they flop all over the place. Once some algae builds up on them they look real. They stay put as well.I either bury them in substrate of pile a few rocks over them anyway but even without help they stay put.

These could do well somewhere else, however, compared the rest of the environment they look cheap and fake. It's a good product, just not it my tank.

JW Pet Company ActivAir Floating Satellite Aquarium Ornament

JW Pet Company ActivAir Floating Satellite Aquarium OrnamentI'm not usually one to buy air ornaments, but I came across this looking at airstones and the idea of a satellite in my tank tickled me so I gave it a shot. Have had it running for a couple of weeks now and it works great.

I didn't know what sort of motion it would have when I ordered it based on the description, but this is what it does: the air bubbles out of the top of the satellite neat the antennas, the panels rotate. The satelite itself slowly rotates from side to side from the panels moving, but the ornament stays in the same place that it is floating. It won't travel around the tank.

It isn't small, arout 6 inches wide from panel tip to panel tip. I have it in a 60 gallon tall aquarium. The weight is heavy and sturdy. I would have liked to have it be smaller so it wouldn't take up so much space. Other than the size, this is a cool thing to see.

I have an outer space themed aquarium and I have been searching for OVER A YEAR for a bubbler that would go well with the atmosphere of the tank. WELL HERE IT IS!! It is so 90's! Looks like something you would see in a fish tank that some stoner kid has in his room. it aerates the tank well. The animation is very slow so it doesn't agitate any of my fish. I am absolutely enamored.

Aqueon Betta Bowl Aquarium Kit in Black

Aqueon Betta Bowl Aquarium Kit in BlackThis was just the product I was looking for and it delivered. I had to rinse of the included gravel a fair bit before adding it to the tank, but other than that it was great. actually, I also wish it had a another fake plant for the second fish's side.

but it is a good product and gets the job done. My fish are now happy. I think.

This aquarium is ideal for small spaces and easy to handle. it's cheap but with good quality. My betta love it!

I would have given this product 5 starts because it is nice looking and comes with the items to make a cozy home for a baby betta. However, my son bought it to put 2 baby betta fish in it and the 1 baby somehow managed to switch to the other side. He got killed by the other betta fish. I do not recommend it.

Zoo Med Laboratories AZMHLB15 15-Watt Highlights Incandescent Bulb, Blue

Zoo Med Laboratories AZMHLB15 15-Watt Highlights Incandescent Bulb, BlueI have seen this product and thought that it was awesome. I know there are other brands; but this one was the cheapest. I installed the bulb and it worked perfect for the first 2 days. Then I noticed that it was getting brighter and brighter every day; meaning that the bulb was turning clear. After about 4 days, it was a clear bulb with the tip still blue, but the color faded very quickly. I don't know why this would happen; unless it was a fake bulb.

This is by far the best bulb I have had in my tank. I have a 5 gal tank with 4 Glo Fish. I have tried 4 different bulbs. Clear Blue Black light and this one. This is BY FAR the best one for the vibrant colors of my fish!! I very highly recommend this bulb.

This product is great! I am actually using it for a 5 gallon crabitat (hermit crab habitat) as opposed to an aquarium. It works wonderfully for what I need it for! The typical white light was drying out my crabitatsucking out the moisture and dropping the humidity VERY quickly. This blue light not only looks cool, but it also puts off less heat and thus keeps my crabitat from turing into a desert in less than an hour. I still wouldn't recommend leaving the light on very long if you use it for hermit crabs, as it still does produce heat and evaporates some of the humidity, but it is MUCH better than a regular white light. Also, for the price, this truly is an excellent product.

Within a week most of the color was gone from the bulb. I was left with a clear bulb that had some blue at one end. (That may bake off too, who knows) DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Digital Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-Gallon

Finnex 200-Watt Hang-On Digital Controller Aquarium Heater, Titanium Tube, 60 to 80-GallonI installed this item in my aquarium right away. It warmed the water in our 55 gallon tank fairly quickly. I was impressed.

Pros:

Visual appeal Thermometer/heater unit anyway.

Temperature is easy to read.

Heats quickly.

Keeps water temperature constant.

Cons:

Thermostat looks cheap and is hard to hide because its attached so closely to the the unit that you need to keep it close.

Programing the temperature settings is more difficult than most units.

Suction cups that hold the thermometer/heater unit are poorly made causing them to constantly lose their grip. I am continuously having to replace the suction cups to the inside of the tank.

Over all the unit works as I need it to. I have a 55 gallon tank and it has no problem keeping the water at the required temperature. I purchased this unit in January and have had it now for a little over 3 months. If I have any issues I will let you know.

Finnex used to be a top brand with heaters that worked for years and years. Now the warranty only cover 180 days because if it lasts much longer you are on borrowed time.

Time to find a new brand for me. These are far too expensive to be disposable.

Hawkeye Aquariums-Aqua View Diamond Shaped Aquarium

Hawkeye Aquariums-Aqua View Diamond Shaped AquariumI bought this for my son's gold fish. It's excellent and requires little or no maintenance (change the water of course). Had this tank since the 2 gold fishes were real tiny and grown to a decent size now (9 months). I gave it a 5 star for the tank but for the price from Amazon, it's a rip off.

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Bio Wheel 10 Gallon Kit W/ Led Light

Fish & Aquatic Supplies Bio Wheel 10 Gallon Kit W/ Led LightWhen my Marineland bow front acrylic 12 gallon aquarium failed (the filtration system died,) after 6 months, I decided to purchase the Marineland 10 gallon glass aquarium.

Pros: Glass aquarium is easier to clean, surface won't scratch like acrylic tanks.

10 gallon tank is long & narrower than bow front, size & shape good for guppies.

Penguin bio wheel filtration system better power, quiet, easier to clean, replace

filter cartriges.

LED lighting system is better than light bulb in acrylic tanks. Freedom to select from

sliding switch at top for bright white light, blue lights & lights off. Improvement

over push button that easily malfunctioned on the bow front tanks.

With small fish like guppies, there is enough room in tank for bottom gravel &

plants, decorations.

Cons: Glass tanks are heavier, I purchased a wooden shelf-stand, put stand together myself,

supports 10+ gallon tank.

Problems with water splashing into the LED light hood unit. Penguin filter splashes

some water up into the hood, same with bubble stone. LED unit isn't 100% protected

from water droplets even though there is a thin acylic plate between water surface &

LED light unit. My LED unit was water damaged. Disconnected LED unit, allowed it to

dry out, eventually LED worked again though not as bright. This LED unit is expensive

to replace. Should I have placed an extra layer of protection, like a piece of plastic

wrap between the thin plastic plate & the LED light unit?

Is it possible to open up the LED light unit & clean inside to restore lights to

original brightness? Opening up light unit would probably void the warranty though.

Right now I can't afford to replace the LED light unit for this tank. Instead I have

to keep the water level lower than normal to keep water splashes from getting up to the

acrylic plate. And, sadly, can't enjoy bubble stone due to water splashing into LED

unit. I will attempt to work out these problems myself.

Subtracted the one star from this 10 gallon aquarium due to water splashing up into the hood & potential damages to the LED light unit.

Yes, I would buy this company's glass aquariums again, possibly add another glass tank in future, however, I would find a way to resolve the problem with the LED light unit & hood.

This is a great kit...LED lighting, bio-wheel, heater. I have 1 betta, 2 corycats, and 2 otocinclus residing in this little community. I only had to add a bubbler and of course plants, etc. For the price, it is a great starter tank...or like me...a great tank to place on your sturdy night stand so you can sleep with the sound of water! My fish are very happy!

Petco Brooklyn 55 Gallon Metal Tank Stand

Petco Brooklyn 55 Gallon Metal Tank StandFirst the stand is real metal. I have had the particle board stands over the years and once they get wet they are done for.

This will definitely hold a 55 gallon tank. It is easy to put together but be aware that the finish scratches easily. If it is really powder coating as they claim, it is the thinnest coating I have ever seen. If a Burbur carpet could scratch the finish it is not powder coating. Most of the welded corners are ground down flush and only a few are not perfect. You really have to get close to see it.

And my big gripe? There was welding spatter in one of the bolt holes. This caused difficulty in getting the bolt in. I couldn't. A tap was needed to clear it out. The threads are 8mm 1.25 for the record. And yes it is made in China.

One last great feature I have never seen in a wooden stand is that the feet are adjustable. This is great! Just put a level on the stand and you can make it perfect! It does not matter if your floor is not perfectly level.

This is an incredibly great product. Assembly and set up was very easy and all the necessary tools (an Allen/hexagonal wrench) are supplied. Finish of the product pieces was perfect and, contrary to experience/claim of another reviewer, the finish was not subject to incidental damage. On top of its attractive modern design, this stand is incredibly strong and should easily be able to support 800 lbs. (Typical 55 gallon set up is about 600 lbs. not including the stand.) Feet are adjustable, so if your floor is not perfectly level, no problem! (This is a feature I have never seen in a competitive acquarium stand product.) And the price can't be beat!

What could be bad about this? Well maybe you don't like the metal construction or color, preferring something wooden. Or maybe you don't like the open design, wanting a cabinet where you can hide your equipment from site below the tank without using skirting material.

But when it comes to strength and functional utility, this actually may be the best 55 gallon acquarium stand that money can buy.

This product was packed and shipped by Petco. There were places on the product where the paint had been rubbed off. Would suggest to Petco to place bubble wrap around pieces to avoid the paint from rubbing off. Easy to put together. The stand is very high and really shows off the aquarium. Over all very pleased with product

Aqueon Tap Water Conditioner

Aqueon 06005 Tap Water Conditioner, 16-OunceI hate to say it, but some of these reviews just leave me shaking my head (no, this didn't kill your fish, and no, the review area of amazon isn't for reviewing a certain seller's packing method).

Anyways, I figured I should review this since the current review score on Amazon is really messed up right now. This product is great, I've used it now for a few years in all of my aquariums with all different types of fish.

Just to note, I've had several different bottles of the Aqueon conditioner, and I've used it in several different tanks (so no, I don't think I got some fluke bottle that for some reason worked better than what others stated).

My 50 gal cichlid tank does well with this product.

My 30 gal cichlid tank does well with this product.

My 20 gal community tank does well with this product.

My 10 gal betta tank does well with ths product.

My 5 gal guppy tank does well with this product.

(I've also had various betta tanks and whatnot over the past few years, and my sister has used this for both brackish and salt water tanks).

Anyways, I've tried this and other conditioners; I personally don't care for the Tetra conditioner, but I do think most of them work fairly well no matter the brand. However, using this conditioner, I've never had cloudy water, I've never head unusual death rates (most of my fish are several years old at this point, many living longer than average life expectancy). So, I don't think you can go wrong with this product; it may be slightly more in cost than the cheapest products out there, but it does work.

If your fish are dying, and you think it is due to this conditioner, I would urge you to re-analyze what the scenario is. Some people will have tap water that cannot be altered enough to be fish safe, even with conditioner, as there are several other particles to take into consideration (ph, iron and other metals being the most obvious concerns). Also, if you are concerned about high chlorine/metals in your water, it doesn't hurt to add more than the recommended dosage of the conditioner. I wouldn't go crazy and add half the bottle, but even so much as doubling the amount recommended shouldn't do any damage. It's a little hard to measure anyways, since the dosage is for 10 gal, but I don't know where people are getting 10 gal buckets at, I usually just use 5gal buckets for water change, and add what looks like a little over half of the 5ml dosage. You could add 5ml for every 2 buckets, but I like to add the conditioner first, then fill up the bucket so it gets nice and mixed with the water.

Anyways, my 2+ cents.

This is an excellent product and great price! I use this to add water to three different tanks so I needed a good qty of it and was able to find it through your site at a reasonable cost. Excellent!

Oceanic 82053 BioCube Protein Skimmer

Oceanic 82053 BioCube Protein SkimmerThis protein skimmer has alot of mixed reviews..some good some bad...I currently own a 29gallon Biocube and i needed a protien skimmer that fit my budget which was between $0-$100..after much research i decided to give this skimmer a try to see if it was something of quality or junk...When you first start it up and you calibrate the airvalve control.it will start to fizzle white bubbles really fast..This will continue for the next 2-4 days until you see the skimmer really start working..Gradually you will see those tiny bubbles turn into slow huge foaming bubbles giving off alot of brown and green crap comming from your tank...If calibrated properly it will take about a week or two before you will need to empty the waste chamber...The only downside that i didnt like..was that the airstone has to be changed every month for this skimmer to do what it is suppose to do..Amazon sells them here for $5.95 with free shipping which isnt too bad..Overall i gave this product 5stars because it works and it works well for the money you pay...You just have to be patient and you will see the progress..

Yes, it is not the best skimmer on the market but for the price and it fitting my 29 biocube perfectly it does a pretty good job. It took me about 4 days to get it adjusted properly and requires more adjustments every so often. Keep in mind that protein skimmers need time and adjustments to work properly. This is especially true for the cheaper ones in cost like this one.

Buy Oceanic 82053 BioCube Protein Skimmer Now

I've had protein skimmers before and have read some reviews that say don't buy this as it is undersized and ineffective but I have to be honest: it does its job, fits in my BioCube 29 with no modifications, and has required no adjusting at all in about 30 days of operation. The waste chamber is a bit small and has to be emptied every 2-3 days max or I'd give it 5 stars. Other than that, it is pulling a decent amount of protein out of the water as evidenced by what is in the chamber. Other more expensive units may pull out more but this is designed for a 14/29 gallon tank: there shouldn't be that much to pull out in the first place unless you are overfeeding or have die off. One tip: KEEP the factory particulate filter in place and just hang this unit on the filter itself. The instructions tell you to remove the mechanical filter and never tell you to place it back in. I don't recommend that as you'll end up with the bioball chamber filling with gunk. Just hang the skimmer in the middle of the filter so it is level and keep both protein and mechanical filtration in place. Works fine on the 29 gallon. Not sure about the 14.

Read Best Reviews of Oceanic 82053 BioCube Protein Skimmer Here

You know I can almost see why so many people post negative reviews... My biggest complaint would have to be putting the unit in the center chamber of the biocube can be annoying to pull the top out to empty. I run my heater/filter cartridge in 1st chamber, skimmer in center, live rock cheato in third and I didn't have any problems but this unit has made my water crystal clear!!! But initially I was going crazy trying to figure out why it keeps OVERFLOWING with bubbles. There is a small adjustment wheel on the tubing from the pump. you really have to adjust this appropriately to get the skimmer to function correctly.

After one day of running it was clear water. Here I am third day now. Yesterday and today I emptied murky brown water from the chamber and its getting darker as it breaks in. I know it may be frustrating but this product is worth 35 bucks! Just adjust it!!! I promise the bad reviewers did not properly adjust this! And considering your options are limited for biocubes anyway this is a good choice!

Want Oceanic 82053 BioCube Protein Skimmer Discount?

I bought this for my small 12 gallon tank, (Not a Biocube tank) a regular tank.

I have bought 2 protien skimmers and I Like the Biocube skimmer the best because it Fits under my hood. I like having my hood on it reduce water noise, salt splashes and I can use the 50/50 light for my coral.

The biocube skimmer has no water line (which baffle me) but I went online & found a couple people say you can put it at Any level. On youtube I saw one person he had the collection cup about 2 inches out of the water and was collecting protein and another guy had the collection cup right at water level & it was collecting protein too so you can set this at any level. I was then able to put it low enough to collect foam and fit under my hood (something I con't do with the other skimmer I had; that had a water line).

I wish the suction cup were adjustable, when I stuck it to glass to fit under my hood the top suction cup was above the glass, lucky the bottom suction cup holds tight, still if they made the suction cups slide up & down would make it a 5 star product.

Also those saying is doesn't collect waste, if you just changed your water or it's a new tank Duh!! Biocbue skimmer isn't going to collect much waste from a clean tank or maybe you don't have the foam forming correctly.

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.

SeaClear Rectangular Aquarium Combo (Clear)

SeaClear Rectangular Aquarium ComboI have this aquarium. It was my first. It's perfect for anybody who is looking for an aquarium but is scared of breaking the glass. The acrylic is thick and you can see through it just as easily as any glass. Instead of seeing a line of caulk/glue on each corner, the acrylic tank has a smooth sharp turn. The top is glued on. Mine has cut outs for a penguin 330 filter, a small hole for the heater and two larger holes in the middle. They are covered with another piece of acrylic so your lighting wont be splashed. The holes are big enough to move around without any problems.

I have very heavy Holey rock that needs to be taken in and out of the aquarium tank during water changes. I've dropped several big pieces numerous times over the years. I worry about hurting the fish, but never about the tank.

The acrylic tank spoiled me. I was given two glass aquariums since this one. I broke the first one when I was cleaning it. The other one is still in my garage. I've decided to stay with acrylic. It's tough and it's just as clear as glass.

I want to say to check this set and make sure you know what it comes with. The one I have came with the acrylic splash cover, a light/ ballast, heater, and Penguin 330 Filter. SeaClear Aquariums are great. I'm just not sure how Petco sells this particular aquarium.

Just ordered this tank, and waiting shipment. I'll update once it arrives!

I'm puzzled as to how people looking at this tank can't figure out how big it is. It's described as 36" x 12" x 16", which makes it 6912 cubic inches, or very slightly less than 30 gallons in volume, as measured from the outside. So, we'll call it 29+ gallons!

Ok I believe this tank is a 30 gallon...thats what it said on the packaging paper when i got it. I wouldnt have bought it had I known, but anyways. This sucked that they didnt put the size, it just seemed a bit sketchy to me.

This tank has 3 cutouts on top, pretty small, I'm cutting them a bit wider, since I have turtles. Its a pretty great size tank overall, I just hate that the top is glued on. I would have prefered one with no top or one that comes off.

OR SUSPICIOUS IT DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT AT ALL WHEN YOU LOOK FOR SOMETHING AND IT SHOWS AND THEN YOU ORDER IT AND REALIZE THAT ITS NOT AS DESCRIBED, IF ONE KNOWS SOMETHIN ABOUT TANKS THEN YOU WOULD SEE THE DIMENSION MEASUREMENT IN INCHES COULD NOT BE A 100 GALLON, BUT IF NOT YOU WOULD HOPE THAT A SELLER WOULD HAVE YOUR BEST INTENTIONS IN MIND TO KEEP FROM COMING BACK FOR MORE, BUT AS i READ THE OTHER REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE THE VERY SECOND ONE STATES THAT IT WAS SMALLER THAN HE THOUGHT, SO ASK YOURSELF THIS BEFORE BUYING, WOULDN;T ONE THINK THAT AFTER GETTING A POOR REVIEW BECAUSE OF HOW IT SHOWS UP IN SEARCHES OR AT THE VERY LEAST SAY IT IS NOT ON THE PAGE? THIS SELLER DID NOT, SO THAT IS WHY I WILL NOT BUY THIS FISH TANK, THOUGH I ALMOST DID...

I don't know if its the type of frag I tried to use or maybe I got a bad batch or maybe I don't know how to mix it right but it didn't hold good for me and an hour after I put it in my tank it left I big gap on the side of my frag because it opened up and it doesn't look good on the other hand my buddy has had better luck with one he bought but he is just sticking it to frag plugs and then to rocks maybe that's what it's meant for but for what I needed it for it did not work

It's not as easy to get damp pieces to stick as it would say it is. It holds well but having everything completely dry would be best. However that can be difficult under water. Take some practice and make it work and it will hold.

This may be ok if you are using it before the rocks are put in aquarium. But if you are using it in a existing aquarium it does not set up well under water,and you have to wait about eight minutes for it to start hardening.

JW Pet Company Anchor Bubbler 12-Inch Aquarium Accessory

JW Pet Company Anchor Bubbler 12-Inch Aquarium AccessoryInstallment was simple and easy. However, due to my insufficient amount of gravel the anchor bubbler would float to the top after a week, which was expected since material is similar to foam. Thus, I set in rocks that sits perfectly into the anchors. I have two rocks per anchor and it now holds it in place perfectly and haven't budge since 1st improvement.

My pleco digs this bubble wand up. It's irritating and fairly difficult to anchor the "feet". I get one side down with enough gravel and the other side pulls out of the gravel. I have to use 2 hands to secure in the gravel and then my front gets wet.
