Laguna Spitter Kit
I love the spitter with the two birds, it is fun to look at and different from the majority of spitters out there. The 80 gph pump is not strong enough for it. Water dribbles down the side of the birds and onto the rock I have it sitting on. Ive moved it around and adjusted the pump to no avail. It leaks too much water. No I have to buy a bigger pump for it. I wish they sold the spitter without the pump.

Laguna Frog Spitter KitSmall, lightweight spitter. Dimensions given are accurate, only I never can equate the actual numbers until I see the product. Nice length of hose preconnected. Should be used in a windfree area as it topples over easily.
I receivd what I ordered, I just wish I had read description and detail more closely to see what I was really getting.

Jardin Plastic Fish Tank Plants Ornament, 20.5-Inch, Pink Blue
I received the item with the base broke... pieces weren't in the packaging so it was broke before it was sent to me. I guess this didn't matter because I covered it with rocks anyways. But I have aggressive fish and it's holding up nicely, so overall I am happy with this tank decoration.

I really like the colors of this. I didn't realize the length, so it was too tall for my fish tank, I just cut a little off the top and it looks nice in the tank.Read Best Reviews of Jardin Plastic Fish Tank Plants Ornament, 20.5-Inch, Pink Blue Here
Hydor ARIO Bone Collection Aquarium Ornament
I received this product in about 20 different pieces. Half of the skull has destroyed, it turned out okay for me though sice I have a smaller tank. I ended up proping half the skull up in a corner and spread the rest of the pieces along the bottom of the tank. the LED is very bright and directional; just how I wamnted it. The bubbler just made way too much noise for me to keep in my tank. if you are looking for something that makes a TON of bubbles this will be perfect for you, it was just a little overwhelming for my small tank.

I love this aquarium top!As always, I know I can rely on All Glass Aquarium products to be well made!
It fit my 20 gallon long aquarium perfectly, and looks terrific!

The product is about 0.5" too narrow to completely cover the 12" depth of a 30" x 12" aquarium (it's exactly 11" wide including the vinyl section). I will have to find a way to bridge the gap.It also arrived with the plastic handle snapped in half, which I am attempting to fix with super glue.
Altogether, very dissatisfying.

Zoo Med Betta House 2 Gallon Oval Racetrack Black
I bought my betta fish, Marvin, while I was home on break and had him temporarily in a 1/2 gallon tank, and he was clearly not happy in it...luckily, I had this tank waiting for him when I got back to my dorm! Once I put him in he seemed immediately happiermaking bubble nests and darting around in all the space he had.I did not want to get a bowl for him, because I know how horrible they are, but I still like round-shaped tanks. However, I also wanted something that was a little differentstandard drum shapes bored me and cylinders seemed no better than bowls. When I saw this, it was perfect! Big enough so that he wouldn't be swimming in circles all day, and so pretty! The black edges really add a unique and artsy quality that looks perfect in my dorm!!
It's an absolutely beautiful tank and I LOVE it! It's big enough so that he can dart around and do his little dance every time I come by with food, but small enough so that I can fit it perfectly on my desk.
I also appreciated that the tank came with a sample of betta food, water conditioner, and a betta care book. I was able to read up on betta care before I got my little buddy, and also made use of the water conditionerI have yet to receive the bottle I ordered, so I was glad I had this one. As for the food, Marvin really likes his Hikari pellets, so I'm keeping the pouch as an emergency supply, in case I run out.
If you're looking for something pretty, and at the same time adequate for a betta fish, this is the perfect tank!
Aquatop D2HT-200 Aquarium Heater Digital Dual Display, 200-Watt
I purchased this heater in August of this year. I got home this evening to find the fish in our 55g aquarium acting sluggish. A peak at the thermometer shows 68 degrees F (normal temp is 79). The lights were all off on this heater. I checked to be certain it was plugged in. It was. I tried a different outlet and it came on for about 2 seconds and went back off.I took it to the sink where I submersed it again, and then plugged it up. It came on and began heating. I let it go for about 10 minutes and it was still working. I just put it back in my aquarium and it appears to be working again. But gee what if I had not looked closely at the tank? I'm about to head out of town and don't think I can trust this thing. Arrrgghh.

Good concept if heat worked more than 6 months. Bought 3 200 watt and 8 100 watt heaters all failed after 6 months of use. Breed Angels and can not depend on them. Start to flash 90 deg-water temp is really 68 will not reset even if unplugged and plugged back in. Sent 8 back to aqua-top still waiting to here back. Stick with old school ones.

Programming the temperature on here was a snap, and considering that the tank sits right next to the door that we let the dog in and out from, and we're getting into the cold part of the midwest winter the fact that the temp never deviates from that 81 degrees has made keeping the aquarium a snap. Love it.30 Gallon freshwater tank

I had mine for just under a year. I love the looks of this heater. The dual LED displays are great, and it has worked flawlessly up to today. I noticed condensation on the interior glass over the past few months. Today the heater shuts off (fuse?) after running a couple hours. I reset it by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Again a couple hours and it shuts off. It seems these heaters have some quality control issues. Shame because there is no other heater on the market that looks as cool.

Didn't need to use anything special since this clung perfectly to the tank. Very nice effect. Large format allows for many options when choosing your scenes for smaller tanks.

Water Lily - Medium White and Green - 8 1/2 in.
I bought this for my betta tank, but in pink and a little spikier petals, and it looks very nice! The flower part is right below the surface of the water in my tank, and bettas love to lay on and in things right at the surface, so I find him there in his flower constantly throughout the day resting. It's well made, I like the gravel bowl base a lot, and it's very easy to clean. The plastic isn't rough or hard, so it won't cut your fish's fins. Very happy with this product.
Do wish I could pick my color though, I got pink. I hate pink.
Shipping costs jack this thing up to $10. This things not worth $10.
Aqua-tech Power Filter for 5-15 Gallon Aquariums
Not sure why there are so may 1 star reviews here.. Filter works great. I have had mine for over 6 months with no issues. All I can hear is water moving and the aerator. You can really only hear the motor if you put your ear up to it.In response to other reviewers who broke theirs or felt it was too loud, you must prime it. If you do not fill the filter basin with water it will chug along really loud and eventually burn out the motor. Probably says that in the instructions..
I really expected the Aqueon filter to work better since it was from a "pet" store but I think for sure the Aqua-Tech filter is better!
Buy Aqua-tech Power Filter for 5-15 Gallon Aquariums Now
I got this filter in a 5 gallon tank kit for my betta fish. I fallowed the directions and set up the filter. You must pour water into the filter before you plug it in or it will be very loud and you can burn out the motor. It states this in the directions. If it is ever unplugged I pour water into it before i plug it in. It keeps the water very clear. It is so quiet that i often check and see if it is still working. it has a strong current off the top so I had to baffle it with an old water bottle. So far I have had no problems with it. I would update this review if anything happens.Read Best Reviews of Aqua-tech Power Filter for 5-15 Gallon Aquariums Here
I have a 10gal triple divided male Betta tank and I'm using 2 of these with good results. Since I have dividers, I wasn't getting the filtration that I needed so I picked up another one and my problem was solved. I have both of them baffled since Betta don't like strong currents. And also got a Fluval pre-filter from petsmart covering the intakes and they still do a good job. As another review said, you must prime the pumps or you'll destroy the motor. Yes they are kind of on the cheap side, but if you do your weekly water changes like you should, you should not have a problem with these. And they are not loud at all.Want Aqua-tech Power Filter for 5-15 Gallon Aquariums Discount?
I am rewriting this review since I returned my earlier purchase (which did not work same model and brand) and exchanged it for a new one, hoping it was some sort of mechanical defect or broken part. It seems I may have been right (though I am not entirely certain).The first one just would not work at all. The second one took about as much coaxing as the first, but it did, in the end, start working. I almost couldn't believe my eyes after my titanic battle (which I lost) to get the first one running. I was all but convinced they'd designed a filter that does absolutely nothing.
If you want a filter that's easy to start (just plug it in and go) then don't get this one by any means. The filtration quality is decent for the tank sizes it is recommended for, though for divided tanks, I would recommend having a separate filter for each section. The blue part of the filter (the thing you replace) seems far superior quality to some other filters I have used for smaller tanks. This system also has a component that does NOT need replacing (some kind of BIO-filter where bacteria is intended to grow, I believe). You may notice some Wal-Mart brand activated carbon on the shelves near these don't buy it. The packaging seems to indicate the carbon is a necessary component, when in fact it is contained inside the blue filter cartridge. The only way you could use it is to buy a media/mesh bag and fill it with carbon, then slide it down inside the filter somewhere.
Another reviewer posted that they have to reset the filter every time the power goes off, and I can attest to that. The only tip I can give for how to get this thing to reliably start up has something to do with the impeller and its assembly. I found that you can pull the assembly up a little bit by putting your finger under the assembly more in the center of the reservoir (as opposed to the sides) in between the bio-filter and the cartridge. That's the only decent place to lift up on it. When you lift up (with it already primed and then plugged in) you will hear a grinding as soon as you hear this, shove the whole assembly back down, hard. I think one of the impeller components can spin freely when it's not supposed to (not the impeller itself, but something else). This "jamming" action seems to have jammed that component into its proper place since as soon as I did that, it started working. This must be done EVERY single time the power goes off or you unplug it.
Note: When working, it does take about 20 seconds for the filter to work up to full capacity (with water spewing out at the normal rate). Apparently it can also be baffled by moving the intake tube up and down. However, I am unwilling to try this due to the touchy nature of the impeller assembly. I just know that if I do, it will stop working and I'll have to get it started again.
Overall, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle, but based on some other reviews, and for the price, it is a fairly good filter.
Lee's Ultra GravelVac, Self-Start with Nozzle & Hose Clip - 10" Medium
This product VERY well cleans the gunk from the gravel. I have medium river rock and it works fabulously! Couldn't live without it! This is a rather large product good for 50 or more gallon tanks as it drains water rather quickly. If you have a smaller tank, choose the equivalent product in the small size. Your fish will thank you.
This gravel vac also comes with a nice clip, so you can attach the clip to the bucket that the water is going into and not have to worry about the hose popping up while you are reaching around the tank. If you've ever had a hose come out of the bucket and spray water over the floor while you're cleaning a tank, you will recognize how nice a feature this is.
Here's how you get it to work:
1) Get the water bucket ready and hold the large side of the tube in one hand and the thin end of the tube in another hand.
2) Submerge the large end in the fish tank so that the tube fills up with water.
3) Put your finger on the end of the narrow side of the tube.
4) Raise the fat side of the tube up out of the aquarium just a bit as you let a little bit of air out of the tube from the skinny end with your finger. The action is just like letting a wee bit of air out of something inflatable.
5) As you raise the fat end and let a bit of air out of the skinny end, you will see the water move through the tube. Do this until the water is right at the skinny end of the tube, almost touching your finger.
6) By now, much of the water in the fat end will have moved into the tubing. So submerge the fat end into the aquarium again, filling up the whole chamber.
7) Let the water bubbles in the tubing clear out.
8) Now put the skinny end into the bucket (keep that finger on), and submerge the fat end in the fish tank.
9) Remove your finger from the skinny end and the water will spurt out. Viola your gravel vac is sucking up water.
A gravel vac is an essential fish-keeping item, and this is a good one. Get it.

Pennplax Tropical Reflection/Blue Bubble Aquarium Decor
Used this on my 55 gallon aquarium. It fit the dimensions perfectly. I used scotch tape to put on rather than the glue. With the glue it started to bubble immediately and looked terrible when I used it on a prior background. The design is pretty and nice color blue. Easy to put on. I did it by myself, but would be much easier with a 2nd person.
