Universal Rocks 48-Inch by 16-Inch Rocky Flexible Aquarium Background

I was skeptical at first. But it trimmed easily and cut to fit my 50 gallon aquarium. I really like the natural stone look and feel. Great product.

You will not be satisfied with any other background again unless you build it yourself. The materials are great and it fits well into a standard 45 gallon long. After it is in the tank it develops a nice algae coated patina and looks as if it is in a National Geo special.

Zoo Med Hiding Hut Resins

I got the Giant sized Turtle Hut for my two red eared slider turtles that are about 4.5 inches across they fit in it with plenty of room to spare they play hide and seek in it and sleep in it they crawl on top of it a lot, so I'm going to modify the top of it into a basking area using a UVB bulb and heat lamp I liked it so much I got another one for their pond . . .

Ended up being smaller than I was expecting and I was afraid my turtle was going to get stuck in it and he's tiny... Now it's in a 10 gallon tank with my frogs and they seem to like it! The other problem is that the first time I took it out to clean off some algae, almost all of the brown paint came off. I didn't use anything to wash it, just warm water and a paper towel. Now the whole thing is a hideous yellow color. I don't mind so much, but if you're going for a realistic look in your tank, this is not for you!

I bought this in a store, did not realize I could have gotten it online (for cheaper) but after less than a month in my turtle tanks (I bought 2 as I have 2 tanks) it started falling apart! I am so frustrated because I made sure the words can be SUBMERGED were on the product, and it was so I invested in it. BIG mistake!! It may be fine for on land but DON"T buy this product if you plan to submerge it!!

I could not find something this size for the life of me because I kept searching for XX-large and never though of Giant. This is a great hide for sulcata tortoises just before they get big enough to go outside. Easy to clean and sturdy.

I bought this for my turtles to have somewhere to hide, and i couldn't find anything that would sink and not get the tank dirty. This did well for a couple months but i started to notice small pieces falling off. I thought the turtles where tring to eat it, but it turns out that if it is in the water for a couple months the plastic becomes very soft and starts to crumble. I had to remove it because i was worried about the turtles eating it. I imagine this would be no problem for dry habitats.

Aqueon Quietflow Submersible Aquarium Utility Pump 8000

I have a 180 gallon freshwater african cichlid tank. I have a wet dry filtration system with 35 gallon sump tank.

My old pump was (Mag 3 pump) was only pumping about 200gph and was very noisy.

As soon as I installed the Aqueon QuietFlow Submersible Utility Pump 8000 (Model AQ8000) I noticed the difference in water circulation instantly. WOW!!!! This pump is AWSOME!!! This pump in rated about 1800gph with my setup. My fish love the new currents and fresh clean circulation throughout the (180 gallon) tank with no dead spots.

I only had the pump for about 2 weeks but so far so good. I recommend this pump for 180 gallon tanks or above.

UPDATE!!!

After 4 months of use suddenly this pump is very noisy and motor sometimes tries to stop and start at will.

WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!!

Exotic Environments Skull Shipwreck Bubbler Aquarium Ornament, 6-Inch by 4-1/2-Inch by 5-1/4-Inch

I own most of the blue ribbon shipwreck / skeleton ornaments and out of all of the ones I own, this one is the one that looks like the picture the most. All of the details and colors are the same as pictured except the green. The green is more of a dark mossy green than the light green shown in the picture. So other than the green, the colors and the detail on this ornament look great.

Zilla 11733 Cricket Water Pillows, 6-Pack

I'm a cricket farmer and have been looking for something to water my 3-week old and smaller crickets, because they can drown so easily even with an over-wet sponge. Having to carefully rehydrate sponges atleast once a day or giving them expensive potato slices is both a hassle and time consuming, and so I thought I found the answer to my prayers with the "Water Pillow". "I was wrong", these things swell up so much that the edges lift high enough off the ground that pinheads all the way up to 1/4" crickets can't climb up and reach the water. The smooth platic bottom also makes it impossible for them to get any traction to climb.

I think they would work great for larger crickets but when you have thousands of crickets in each container like I do, these "Cricket Pillows" wouldn't last a day. For crickets 3 weeks old and bigger, I use reptile waterers with a sponge in the bowl that works perfectly and will last nearly a week before having to refill.

I do like the "Cricket Pillow" concept but the design is poor. If they could make them with a flat rigid bottom so all 4 edges stay on the ground, than they could be a winner.

Put the pillows water-side down and any sized cricket can climb up on them and drink. I live in a very dry part of the country, so the pillows are very helpful to keep the liquid from evaporating. I've had mine in use for almost a year, and they are just like new.

I got mine earlier today from the clearance isle, they were just 40 cents so I decided to get them. When I put them in the sink with the water running so I could fill up the sink with water to soak them in I was surprised how much water the absorbed. I used three of them for my crickets, and a few of them decided to stay on top of them. (These cricket are the largest ones you can get)As I looked closely I could see their mouthparts moving so I guess they were drinking. Once these dry out I will conduct an experiment to see how much water a pillow will hold and how long it will take for them to dry out. Overall I really like these pillows. And my crickets are in my taranutla's cage so I hope the crickets will last longer so I won't have to buy crickets only for them to die after a few days. (I buy crickets every week and they go straight to my tarantulas tank.

If you've never used a water pillow for your insects, this is a great way to go. Reuseable several times. But it does get pretty gross with crickets, and they do tend to lay eggs in it as well as poop around it. But for roaches it's fantastic. They don't dirty the pillows at all.

Eheim Feed-Air Fish Feeder Everyday Unit

As i said in the title...,

This is the best automatic feeder, you will love it.., its extremelly easy to set up, just adjust the hour, and done, you can setup 4 times to feed, you can also can adjust the feeder to feed 2 times for every turn (with 1 minute of difference), also it have a "force" button, to feed manually, without disturb the programmed times.

The compartiment is regulable so you can adjust the amount of food, that will be released in every turn..., its powered by 2AA batteries.

I didn't found at the time something bad, or any problems related to the humidity or moisture.

We purchased this feeder for those times when we're away from home and our 38 gallon fish tank. I set it up (quite easy) and tested it for a week before we left worked great. I DID have to tape a piece of plastic (curved, from a soda bottle) against the edge of the hole in the lid of the tank, where the food is dispensed. Some of the food was ejecting over the edge and this simple "fix" guided the excess food into the tank instead of onto the floor. I think this was because our lid has a rather small opening not a fault of the feeder.

It worked flawlessly while we were away no problems with wet food or hangups. I also like the fact that it's battery operated no need to worry about a power outage.

I had a cheaper feeder on my 30 gal tank. I put more fish in the tank than the feeder could feed. Because this feeder has the option to feed twice in a row, I am able to feed all my fish. My old feeder has a skinny drum with a dispenser centrally located. This one has a wide drum with the dispenser off to the side. This means that the amount of food my fish get depends, in part, on the amount of food left in the drum. Eventually food has to be added before the drum empties. My old feeder can empty the drum on it's own. Another problem with the position of the dispense is that is dumps food over a wide ark. I had to put up a foil deflector to keep the food off the floor and in the tank.

My old feeder also had a clamp to hold it to my tank. This one does not. Now I have to move the feeder every time I open the tank.

I found a feeder on here that seems to combine the good features of both of my feeders but I have not used it.AquaChef Automatic Aquarium Fish Feeder 3 in. x 5 14 in. x 3 in.

I love having a feeder. I use it when I am home or not. It does not take away from my ability to feed my fish on my own. It just makes sure my fish are fed without me having to bother with it.

Very good and reliable. You can program it for a a lot of feeds during the day with one or two turns of the food drum. The window that disposes the food is adjustable, to control the ammount of food dispensed on each turn, nothing new.

The good:

* Easy programming,

* the keys are splash proof

* Very good building, looks strong.

* You can program the feeder to, at each programmed time, rotate not just one time, but two times, one minute apart. Why? It should leave some time to slower fish to feed too, the fast fishes rush on the first serving, and on the second serving they are not so desperate, and leave some food the the shy fishes. Very clever and useful!

The OK things:

* Anti moisture system is ok, but not perfect

The one thing that I was curious about was the anti-moisture system, because my aquarium is a closed hood, so the feeder needs to sit on a very moisture enviroment. My last feeder kept clogging and the internal components have rusted because of the moiture, so it broke.

Well, the anti moisture system is composed of an circular opening (a hole) on the oposite side of the drum, and a little red fan inside. So, the fan pulls the air from this hole thought all the internal components (which is good, because they are moisture sensitive too, my last one broke because of rust, remember?) until it exits throught the drum feeding adjustable window.

So, be aware that this hole must sit on a dry enviroment. In my case, I connected a little hose to this hole to pull the air from outside of the hood, a dry enviroment.

But when the fan activates? The fan only spins when the drum turns, it is powered by the drum motor. So it only purges the moisture when the fish is fed. Ok, maybe the battery would not last it it was kept running all day and night long, but I do not know if this is enough to keep the moisture out, I think it is not, specially in my closed hood aquarium. I used this unit for a couple of days, so I do not know if it is enough to keep the food and components dry.

Well, as I do not want to have it rusted to discover, I connected an outside air pump to the end of the little hose that I plugged on the ventilation hole, so I have forced dry ventilation 24hs a day, and by design of the housing, both internal components and food are saved from moisture. I suggest you do the same if you have a similiar problem.

Bottom line, it is a great product.

This product works great once it is set up. Make sure you read the instructions for proper programing. I have a wooden lighting/top on my 55 gal tank and just drilled a 1 1/4 inch hole along one side away from the lights and air tubes. Then I put a piece of paper over the hole and manually ran the unit in different spots until I found the spot where only a minimal amount of food did not fall and drew an outline of the unit position on the top and removed the paper for use. The original batteries are still operating since I started using it in the beginning of June. Recommendation don't let the unit get less than half full and make sure if your flakes are large that you crush them up a little so the scoop works effectively. My fish are happy and I am happy. I go away for long weekends or vacations and they are fine!

Tetra Usa ATS25994 Bio Foam Grid Replacement Kit with Whisper 30/40/60 Power Filter

After reading this as a kit one would assume there to be 2 of each (grid & foam) as seen in the photo. All that was sent is one of the item. Since the filter 30/40/60 requires 2 of them it would only make sense. So if you are looking to buy these you better buy two.

The filter is Original Tetra and operates just fine.

I lost my bio filters some time ago and was amazed that I could replace them without ordering the entire pump. As I have come to expect, my order arrived in 2days and it is exactly what I ordered.

U.P. Aqua Professional (Angle) Tweezers

This is the third pair of tweezer I bought from Amazon that is defective. First one rusted severely, second one was a replacement of first one, except its tips are not aligned, now this one looks nice,feels nice, but rusts. Unless I'm having very bad luck, something is wrong with Amazon's inventory or at least what Amazon is sending me.

The tweezers are excellent quality and very easy to clean. I do wish I could find a slightly longer version though.

These U.P. Aqua long tweezers are very useful to keep aquarium plants as well as for other aquarium chores.

Now, some aquarium brands sell tweezers at ridiculous (or outrageous) prices. But, guess where they are from? For example, ADA tweezers are from Pakistan (no offense to Pakistan people, though). And the price is well over $40 or $50. I don't believe the labor costs for Pakistani workers are so high that those tweezers have to be over $40 or %50 dollars per set.

This U.P. Aqua pinsettes show a very good quality. The tips are well matched and accurate. I can work on tiny coral mosses with them.

Some might consider a smaller tweezers. I have a smaller one, but I use this long one so much more frequently although my tanks are lesser than 12 inch deep. I believe if you want only one tweezers, this size would be better.

Petco Brooklyn 10 Gallon Metal Tank Stand

Although this stand is currently being advertised as $6 off the original price, it is actually priced exactly the same on Petco. Just a little heads up in case you thought you were getting a better deal. At least it's not worse!

Finding an affordable, simple stand for my 10 gallon proved to be more trouble than I anticipated. I kind of accepted that I may be getting a crappy metal stand that I'd put up with until I found a stand I wanted to save up for. The quality of the stand is much higher than I anticipated. No bent or dented metal and everything fit together easily. It is very simple, but it's not ugly by any means and it's easy to fit storage containers for my aquarium equipment below it. It was also incredibly easy to assemble, took less than five minutes. It also arrived three days earlier than anticipated, which is a major plus.

the way the write up was, I believe it used the word "aquariums", implied that two aquariums could

be put on this stand..... only one 10 gal can be put on this stand....... actually the rest of the stand is

useless.......

Lee's 40/55 Economy Undergravel Filter, 2 Plates, 12-Inch by 48-Inch

It is actually a pack of 2 20-30 gallon filters. i would highly suggest getting 2 powerheads for this set up and only using one tube on each filter. it is set up to have 4tubes with noisy air bubblers. Power heads filter more water, create better circulation, and are much more quiet. My fish and i are quite happy with it.

This is a typical undergravel filter that I needed to replace the original one that I purchased many years ago when I purchased my aquarium. It works well.

HOSSEN® 2W Aquarium Tank 2 Mode Clip Lamp 28 LED White & Blue Light 85-265V

My lamp arrived two and a half weeks early! Out of the box, it is easy to attach to the aquarium. The white lights illuminate the tank (2.5 gallons) rather nicely and the blue lights will probably be used at nighttime.

I have two issues the lamp is wiggly on my tank because it is awkwardly shaped and takes a little maneuvering to get it right. The other thing is that is gets warm quickly. I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on it today to see if it gets wickedly hot. Besides those two things, this lamp is excellent for the price!

It illuminated my tank as it should. Much brighter than expected.

Moon setting glows a blue.

Day setting is bright white

You cannot use this where moisture or water evaporation can leak into it. It will stop working in a few weeks if moisture gets inside the lamp. This lamp is only useful if you have a transparent aquarium lid under the lamp, and if you place it away from any filters that can cause water evaporation near the lamp. However, the lamp does light up a lot, and the second mode for night-time is a moonlight-blue.

Nice and bright. it has two modes, white & blue or just blue. If you have the plastic rim around the top of your aquarium, you will need to cut a slot out so you can attach the light, easy to do.

Perfecto Recessed Aquarium Hood 24in Oak

Perfecta light is okay. Not like the way they used to make them 15 years ago. This time around a the light is slightly smaller than before and you may not fit 2 at a time on a 55 gallon tank. It is a cheaper composite of plastic also, because the density isn't there. Otherwise a good standard light. I've always know perfecta lights to be high quality. Today, I realize I may change my opinion.

The perfecto hood works great. I had to replace my old hood because it just was on it's last leg. This one seems to be working just fine.
