Fluval Carbon, 100-gram Nylon Bags - 3-Pack

Fluval Carbon, 100-gram Nylon Bags - 3-PackThese are pretty nice. You get three small bags of carbon. I should have figured out how much 330G was because they are kind of small for the Fluval FX5. I put two in my filter and I could still fit two more if I wanted. Next time I am going to buy the filter bags and just fill them up with carbon. This is cheaper then you will find at local pet stores, but I think I should be able to get more for my money if I fill my own filter bag.

I was looking at purchasing carbon in a bulk container and inserting it into a re-usable medai bag. However, after crunching some numbers, it is actually cheaper to purchase this three-pack than it is to purchase carbon in bulk.

I only use it in tanks that I need to clear medication out, or have inserted some wood that is releasing tannins and making the water dingy. In an ongoing bassis, my filters don't include carbon. However, I like having some on hand just in case. These prepackaged bags are handy and great to use when needed.

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.

I would absolutly recommend this product to anyone looking into this substrate. It is very quick and easy to clean and really does help conseal odors.

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.

Kordon/Oasis (Novalek) AKD33456 Amquel Plus for Aquarium, 16-Ounce

Kordon/Oasis AKD33456 Amquel Plus for Aquarium, 16-OunceWhen I first started keeping goldfish, I mysteriously lost several fish. I know now I was making all kinds of mistakes common to amateurs. One mistake I made was to assume that all water treatments that claimed to make tap water safe would do the trick. After several of my kiddos died, I asked for help from the owner of my local pet store. This is not a Petco or a Petsmart, but a real mom-and-pop place. The owners really care about their animals.

The store owner told me that years ago when he was first starting out, his fish kept dying. He had a water sample tested independently, and the tester advised him that our local tap water was the second worst water sample he had ever tested. The pet store owner advised me to use Amquel Plus along with NovAqua. Since I have been using these products, I have lost no fish. Since moving to a different place (one with better water quality, I am happy to report), I have continued to use these products as they have been perfectly effective and reliable.

I've had fish tanks all my life, but got more serious about it in the past 8 years. I stumbled upon a great forum, and most of them recommended this product. I took a leap, and have been using it for the past 6 years.

Pros:

Seems to do a great job treating water it's a thankless job, but something has to do it.

Cons:

Smells bad (could be a pro for pranks?) but the smell is gone once you add the water.

I typically measure out the right amount, then dump it in the bottom of a 5 gallon water jug. I fill the jug, then use that to fill the tank. It's worked out great for me, both in planted and non-planted freshwater tanks. This one bottle should last you a while unless you have a huge (100g+) tank.

I had purchased this product from a local store in the past for my fresh water tank and have never had any problems using it. I was surprised to read some had the opposite opinion. Well, I went ahead and still purchased it here on Amazon and received the package promptly. I've used it several times and my fish seem just fine. I have nothing negative to say about my purchase.

I've used Many types of water conditioners, ammonia, chlorine & heavy metal removers but nothing compares to this product. Works fast and you don't have to worry about using too muchI LOVE this product.

Want Kordon/Oasis (Novalek) AKD33456 Amquel Plus for Aquarium, 16-Ounce Discount?

I purchased this item mainly to remove nitrate and nitrite. By testing it with a test kit, it doesn't do anything as it claims on the bottle. It probably does what it claims, but nothing that would cause a change on the after test. Oh, I also doubled the dosage, NOTHING.

It could be a great water conditioner, since after all those years of being in the business. But if it doesn't do what it claims, its a big fail to me.

This turtle feeder has been a savior for us! We can vacation now without worrying about our babies being hungry. We have a 20 gallon tank for two baby yellow bellied sliders, and set the feeder to feed twice a day. It secures well and isn't wobbly. When we come back we just take it off and remove the batteries. Hopefully this continues working for us for a long time.

Aquarium Fish Tank Oranment Vividly Goldfish Decor

Aquarium Fish Tank Oranment Vividly Goldfish DecorI would designate these a child's toy for pretend play without water. As an ornament for an outdoor pond, these are pretty useless. Compared to real goldfish, they are about 50% the size. In the product information, it says "Attached weights position fish in any depth aquarium." This is the main reason I purchased these fish. There is no such thing in the fish I received. They float on the surface with the dorsal fin above water, like a shark, or after a short time sink to the bottom. They are cute, and nicely made. Shipping was quick, and from Hong Kong, about the only place in the world that has these.

Exotic Environments Red Sea Hide-Away Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Red Sea Hide-Away Aquarium Ornament, Ex Small, 6-Inch by 5-Inch by 6-1/2-InchAnother reviewer mentioned the muted colors. I too received colors in dark green, deep purples, and a few highlights of orange, turquoise and white. I really like the colors, but it is not the bright kid-like colors that are pictured. It will go well in a more elegant "grown up" tank. I'm very pleased with the design of it. The height is just under 6 inches tall, about 5 1/2 inches wide and 4 1/4 inches deep-which is smaller than the description. I received it within 3 days. Only 3 stars as it is not color or size as listed.

I got the Red Sea Hide-away based on the previous review. I initially thought the colors were annoyingly bright, but I liked the design of it. The previous reviewer said the colors were much darker. They prefer the bright colors in the pic, but I love the darker more adult colors of mine. The color scheme is the same as the previous reviewers. It's dark and absolutely beautiful, and I can't wait to put it in my tank!

So, if you like darker colors, you'll love it. If you want the bright colors pictured, don't get it!

There's nothing wrong with the manufacturing or quality the item seems well made and its structure is basically the same as shown in the picture. But the colors are nothing like what is shown. In reality, it is much darker, less kid-like. The "red" coral on the right is really a deep purple; the "yellow" smokestack looking things are really green; the "light blue" flower like things on the left are really a dark copper/burnt orange; the small "purple" flowers are blue and yellow; the "light purple" brain-like looking things at the bottom are blue and a little purple, but much darker than in the picture; the little "yellow" flowers are red. The remaining parts are a couple shades of deep, deep forest green.

It was for a 7 year old, so I am very disappointed.

I have a beautiful Moon-fin Betta in one of those Tetra Water Wonders 1.5 gallon tank kits. I had some small Greek ruins in there for a while but I wanted to give him a cave to hide in and feel safe. I looked everywhere for something that would look cool and fit in this small plastic tank. This is it!!! It looks so awesome! These complaints about the colors are rubbish. Yeah the colors are different than the photo but it's certainly not muted. Unless some people just received a bad batch of them, this coral cave ornament brightly glows with vibrant colors. Now my Betta swims right in and parks himself with his cute little head poking out like a moray eel! Highly recomended for small tanks and Bettas!!!

The color was a little bit more dull than in the pictures. Disapointing but I decided I would still keep it.

Bad idea. Should have returned it. As soon as I started to rinse it before putting in the tank a horrible rank resin smell took over the whole kitchen! It was so bad there was no way I was going to put it in my tank with my fish. I had to put it out on the porch it was so bad! No way would I buy anther one. Horrible waste of money.

Laguna Once-A-Year Fertilizer Spike, Aquatic Plant - 3-Pack

Laguna Once-A-Year Fertilizer Spike, Aquatic Plant - 3-PackAfter using these spikes for several years, the results have been consistent and positive.

Unlike tab fertilizer needing once a month application, these spikes are slow release once a year application.

This is a wonderful product, we use these every year and our pond lilies look beautiful. I love the idea of doing fertilizer once a year instead of once a month!

Buy Laguna Once-A-Year Fertilizer Spike, Aquatic Plant - 3-Pack Now

I purchased and used these for some water lilies that I had also purchased here on Amazon.

Note that the 3-pack contains the regular sized spikes, and the 6-pack (also sold here on Amazon) contains the Minis. For a one or two gallon pot, Laguna/Hagen recommends one REGULAR spike with a change frequency of one year.

Also, note that each individual spike is shipped with a protective clear plastic sleeve that MUST be removed (use a razor blade) before use. This plastic sleeve is NOT a component of the time-release feature, and must be removed (as confirmed by my phone call to Laguna's customer support line).

Since I just planted the water lilies, I cannot yet comment on the efficacy of the spikes -but assuming they work, this will be much more convenient than monthly feedings.

Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank Bio Biochemical Sponge Filter, Blue

Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank Bio Biochemical Sponge Filter, BlueThis pad was a whole lot larger than I thought it was going to be. It's actually 24"L x 4 3/4" wide and very dense. I bought it to use as a biological filter pad in my small HOB filters and it's fine for that job. I'll have enough for years to come.

Incandescent Recessed Full Aquarium Hood, 24" Black

Incandescent Recessed Full Aquarium Hood, 24' BlackIt fits perfectly on my tank. Note the dimensions carefully. The light fixture is easily replaced and has a glass cover protecting it from water splashes. The backs are easily broken off for power filters.

This is a good product , its pretty simple to take the backs off for filters and the light recess comes off with a snap for easy bulb changes. My only beef is that it didnt come with bulbs (often the most expensive pary of a hood ) Oh well they were pretty cheep , id def buy again for a freshwater tank.

hood did not fit my tank. It was NOT 12" wide by 24" long as advertised. The hood was 11-1/2" wide by 23-1/2" long. I returned the hood for refund, but shipping was 1/2 the refund. I should have kept it and added plastic trim to make it fit.

Aquatic Creations Ancient Pyramid Aquarium Ornament

Aquatic Creations Ancient Pyramid Aquarium OrnamentHaving recently gotten a fish I named Pyramid, this was an absolute essential! I'd been to many brick-and-morter pet stores in search of Egyptian decor for Pyramid's tank. I was starting to give up when I found this item!

This pyramid is a great addition to my Egypt-themed aquarium. It is really nice looking, exactly as pictured. Pay attention to the dimensions listed above because it is kind of large. It is hollow, so not heavy at all. Looks great in the aquarium. It seems to be durable and well-made. The style is more realistic as fish tank ornaments go not tacky at all!

I also got the Aquatic Creations "Four Sarcophagi" decoration, which looks great too.

(Note: I encourage you to disregard the unfairly low rating of the previous review. It seems the reviewer did not understand that this was an aquatic ornament, not a Christmas ornament.)

This is only an ornament if your tree is a sequoia! Not what it appears to be!

Petco 300 Watt Submersible Aquarium Heater

Petco 300 Watt Submersible Aquarium HeaterI had to replace a 10 year old aquarium heater, and on the advice of a pet store owner, he pointed me to this product by Petco. I have a 55 gallon aquarium, and he recommended the 300 watt size as it is efficient and will maintain a consistent water temperature no matter what the air temperature. I have found his advice to be trustworthy and true. I placed the heater in the middle of the aquarium (on the back wall it attaches with two suction cups), set the thermostat for 76 degrees, and I have not had to touch it since. It is the best heater I have had for my aquarium. It's slim design makes it less noticeable. Due to its overall length, it cannot be used in shorter walled aquariums. It will heat aquariums up to 90 gallons. The price was great too. I am sold on this product and give it 5 stars.
