I have purchased this product in the past for a fairly small koi pond. It keeps the koi healthy and happy. Good product and good price.

Want PondCare Stress Coat Water Conditioner Discount?

I love my Koi. I love my pond. But am I going to set aside large quantities of water to replace a percentage of my pond water when I backflush? Uhhh no!

So my Koi enjoy a rainlike experience when I use a sprinkler to both replace pond water and water my landscape. The sprinkler helps get rid of some chlorine and Pondcare Stress Coat takes the worries out if I don't get rid of all the nasty stuff. Hey and the Koi get some spa treatment with the other stress coat benefits.

Happy Koi, Happy Owner..er Caretaker

CaribSea Arag-Alive 20-Pound Special Grade Reef Sand, Fiji Pink

CaribSea Arag-Alive 20-Pound Special Grade Reef Sand, Fiji PinkI love this sand I have it in my oceanic biocube (FRESHWATER) and also my (SALTWATER) 135 gallon tank.practically no maintenance sand especially if you buy a couple flounders to bury under the sand and also sand sifting snails.I have had this sand in my tank for a year and looks better than the day I first added it.

loved this sand because it has alot of healthy bacteria for a new salt water tank and really helped my tank cycle very fast..very pretty sand and my snails just love it..lol..i just love the quality of this sand so much that its the only sand i use for my salt water tanks!!

I used the sand to cycle my tank. 2 months later, my tank is doing great. The sand is pretty fine but it looks great.

This sand is so much more than I thought it was going to be! First of all, it has all the good bacteria already in it, so you know your fish will do well with it. Secondly it come with a packet of clarifier to help make the water clearer faster. Because it IS sand I would definitely recommend cycling it for at LEAST a few days before you add your fish, until it's all settled.

Usually when I get a new tank and I transfer my fish at least one doesn't make it. But I haven't lost a single fish! Now I don't know if it's because of this awesome sand, or what, but that's all I can think it is.

My fish LOVE to roll in it. I know that sounds weird, but they roll on their sides and rub up against the sand. They try to burrow holes in it and they never did that with the rocks I had before. (I have cichilds) They love this stuff!

Oh, and it says Fiji Pink. it is not actually pink, it is the tan color that is showed.

Midwest Tropical AquaTable Aquarium Octagon

Midwest Tropical AquaTable Aquarium OctagonJust look at the advertised picture of this table...beautiful, but once you get it home and set it up, far less enchanting! The glass top is super heavy,the space between the top of the tank and the glass top is too wide (I lost a few fish that escaped this way). I ended up having to modify the table by purchasing an acrylic top, drilling holes on the four corners to lower decrease the gap. Also, there is a condensation problem if you don't have the tank temp. almost excatly the same as the room temp. I definitely believe this is a big time waste of money and do not recommend this to anyone.

If you are looking for a good tank, try the Nanocube, or one of the marineland eclipse tanks. They are good, reliable, easy to use.

I get this thing and they forget to tell you about the big bulky power cord its impossible to feed the fish and a number of other problems

Buy Midwest Tropical AquaTable Aquarium Octagon Now

I have had many aquariums in my 62+yrs and although this one is a challenge it is no where near the bad buy some have reviewed it as. Trouble feeding? Why? Are your fingers fatter than 2" (oops maybe they are).Heavy top? Yeah it's in the middle of the floor and it's nice if it gets bumped and the "heavy" top doesn't fly off or break. Prob w/cords.....huh? I'm no Einstien but where's the prob?

The ONLY prob I have is the supplied filter is NOT adequate. I extensively researched filters and found the easiest and by far least expensive solution is to simply order a 2nd matching Power 85 directly from Midweast Tropical. I fits nicely next to the other and you can use your OWN charcoal and filter floss (FOUND FOR PENNIES PER USE ON THE NET) which nearly all other filters will not allow. They all take expensive proprietary mgfs cartridge/bag etc filter inserts and you can do your own for 85-90% cheaper! ALSO this way you can put STANDARD ACTIVATED CHARCOAL in one filter and AMMOINIA ABSORBER in the other and BULK floss in both and have twice the filter media at work.

Simple, cheap and VERY EFECTIVE....PROBLEM SOLVED!

I'd buy it again in a heart beat. Had it for 8 months now and my fish and my wife and I LOVE it. Everyone that comes in the front door goes nuts over it.

ANYONE WISHING TO CONTACT ME, FEEL FREE. Sorry if I offended anyone but there's nothing at all

wrong with this tank and setup.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF INTERESTED IN TANK OR TROUBLE SHOOTING.

This is an impressively beautiful tank, the perfect centerpeice for our living room. I recommend you install a floor-mount duplex receptacle as I did to eliminate having any visible power cords (the outlet is hidden beneath the tank one is always-on power for the pump, the other is for the light which I wired to a wall switch so you can turn the light on and off). Someone complained the top is too heavy, but it is not very easy to remove by yourself, or slide a bit for feeding/maintenance. The weight is just right. I do see a little condensation on the underside of the glass top where the air bubbles surface, but it's not significant and not a problem it doesn't hurt anything. Another reviewer complained about fish being able to jump out the openings on the sides: I haven't experienced this, maybe with certain types of fish it might be a problem (exacerbated perhaps by too high a water level?) but if I did have this problem I would simply make some wire-mesh cutouts in the proper shape and fashion some clips to hold them in place. In short, don't be dissuaded by the other reviewers buy this tank and you will likely be very pleased, as we are.

I have had my fish tank table for over 20 years. It was wonderful back then and still is in 2013. Everyone who visits me wants one. I give hints but truthfully want to be the only one who has it since it's so unique. This tank is wonderful even though a few small fish have jumped out and the cord is so visible. You can always buy a piece of rug to put over it and tape the cord down to it or find another way to hide it, it's not bad. Also the open space is good for putting the food in. People who complain, sound like cronic complainers and can never be satisfied.

Perfecto Manufacturing APF75205 Marineland Fluorescent Recessed Full Lighting Hoods for Aquarium, 2

Perfecto Manufacturing APF75205 Marineland Fluorescent Recessed Full Lighting Hoods for Aquarium, 20-Inch, Black
  • Universal fluorescent recessed full hood designed to fit securely into the frame of Perfecto aquariums
  • The front access panel runs the entire length of the hood for daily maintenance and feeding
  • Glass shield insert protects electrical parts from moisture and corrosion
  • Available in black color
  • Measures 20-inch length

Out of all the 10 gallon hoods out there, most come with a tiny little lid for access in the front. Unacceptable for cleaning, feeding, etc. I used to own quite a few tanks up in New England but I moved to Florida over a decade ago and didn't bring them with me. I had to search high and low to find a Perfecto and frankly they are the best in my opinion. This hood arrived safely, new condition, it came quickly and was exactly what I ordered. Will definitely do business with them again.

Jardin Coral Design Silicone Ornament Aquarium Décor, Purple

Jardin Coral Design Silicone Ornament Aquarium Décor, PurpleIt's about the size of a half dollar coin. And it looks like rubber. It was only $3.99 so I decided to just 'throw' it somewhere in the tank. Amazon was great!! They saw my disappointment and offered me a refund. Of course, I took them up on it. Truly a piece of junk!!

I ordered this for a betta fish tank, but now use it in a different tank with schooling fish. It stays put where you put it in the tank and doesn't drift around. Easy to move, never gets stuck in anything. Soft, and natural looking. It doesn't hurt my fish. The color entertains my fish also. Happy with this order, and I'll look for more from this seller in the future.

I didn't check the pic too closely when I purchased. It is very small and doesn't move around too much in our tank. The Pink one is the largest and our little gold fish hang out on it. Really! We also have the Orange one but the fish in that tank are large and don't really bother with it. Cleans up well. Kids love them.

I have a 10 gallon tank so it's kind of small but it was good for the price. My ghost shrimp frequently hide by it so it was well worth it.

This is a cute little addition to any tank. The one I received is more pink than what is shown, but I am pleased with the personality it adds to my aquarium.

Exotic Environments Steer Skull, Aquarium Ornament, Small, 4-1/2-Inch by 4-Inch by 2-1/2-InchI really like the way it looks in my aquarium. I wish there was a medium size because the small is, well, small but the large was bigger than I wanted. All in all, it is a good product though.

Glofish 5-Pound Aquarium Gravel Bag, Black with Fluorescent Highlights

Glofish 5-Pound Aquarium Gravel Bag, Black with Fluorescent HighlightsI ordered two bags of the "Glofish 5-Pound Aquarium Gravel Bag, Black with Fluorescent Highlights" and it looked nothing like the photograph which shows a colorful bag of gravel. What I received has about a 90% black / 10% color ratio (I'm uploading a customer image, so please see above). I had to place a second order for "Glofish 5-Pound Aquarium Gravel, Bag Pink/Green/Blue Fluorescent". The bags are heavy, so it costs about $10 in shipping. I hope my review helps others avoid the frustration I had to experience.

I just received a glofish tank and these rock made the glowing effect so much more interesting. The tsnk is for my nieces 8 th bday and she want colorful fish so the rock, tank, anfd glowing fish made her so happy. Also serves as a nite light which great for her. I would buy these rocks, and tank set up again for myself.

This formation is esthetically pleasing and the betta loves it. I somehow wound up with 2 males which have to be separated of course but their tanks are next to each other and they play hide and seek behind this and the wonderful castle I purchased to accompany it. It's well made, just colorful enough and substantial but small enough to fit into the fluval tank opening. I only wish I'd purchased one earlier instead of a castle of lesser quality, but more ratings, that had to be trimmed to fit and the pile of rocks with no challenge or hiding spot for the fish. Perfection!

I liked the look of this online and once I saw it in person I was not disappointed either, looks terrific in the tank as well. Now the important part of course is how do the fish like it? I have three female betta fish and they love this bridge. They are able to fit in and swim through all of the openings. Any fish about an inch size will fit in even the smallest one (which surprised me) and of course they use it for hiding spaces and resting too. Great price, nice item and blends nice with natural style silk type plants or live plants. In the past I have had dwarf frogs and I think this would be perfect for them!

Fluval Moss Ball

Fluval Moss BallI picked this up at a Pet Smart, where they had these displayed next to the real plants. I did one of those 'oh I fail to read look at pictures' moves and bought one assuming it was a real one, IDK, stupid move. ANYWAYSSo I decided to put this in my Beta Fish Tank since I paid 7$ for it I thought Id try it anyways.

ON THE UPSWING-

My Betta Fish is constantly entertained by this. As I did not squeeze the ball to get all of the air out it floats, so it helps relieve boredom, and he likes to sort of lay on it like they will do in nature, on leaves and other soft flotsam.

It seems to collect some of his food, which I think he enjoys also as he like to come and peck on it and see if he can find any loose goodies. All in all if for no other reason than a good activity item for Betta fish , its a not so bad fake ball of fur!

I ordered four of these for my 55gallon tank. They are pretty cool, i really didn't know if they were real of not when i bought them but they are fake. Its a great thing for me since i hate the real ones. They always broke up and got into my filter. These ones have i think carbon inside them and the green stuff feels like hair into you get them wet. They look real after your rinse them down. You got to put them in water and squeeze the ball to get all the air out so it doesn't float. Overall i am happy, and will by 4-5 more in the next few weeks.

i was constantly changing the yucky water in my turtle tank until i bought a moss ball and dropped it in. it has been a week and the water is crystal clear. i am not for sure of how long it works or if i need to do anything to it but for right now i am so impressed. (i really wish when things came pre-packaged, the instructions were not written in nu-readable micro print.)

When I first got this, I didn't really think it'd made a difference, but it definitely does!

I have some in my 29 gallon planted tank with fish, and they love it! My gourami loves to pick at it and move it around the tank, and the cory cats like to hide under it. It really does make a quality in water clarity, tooI have a Fluval 205 in my aquarium and it has made the water eve clearer, which I didn't think was possible.

I also have one of these in my 1 gallon breeding tankI have seven Platty fry in there now, all about a quarter inch longand they like to hide in/around it. It also helps keep the water fresher longer, so I don't have to do a ton of water changes every day.

I have been keeping aquariums for around 15 years, and will definitely add this to my regular tank regimenI love them!

I have a small, pretty new aquarium with goldfish. Within a few days the water became very cloudy and unappealing to say the least. I skeptically ordered this funny looking little ball, which I discovered totally by accident. When it arrived I got it wet (thanks to the other reviewers), it sank to the bottom and there it sat. Next day, expecting an overnight miracle, I was very disappointed, water still very cloudy. Second day, water cloudy. I began to think "rip off" and who are these people that think this thing works. Third day, to my amazement, the water was much more clear. Fourth day, even clearer. Now the water is back to where I began when I sat the tank up. I'm pleased and I do recommend this. It worked for me. But do give it a few days before passing judgment.

Finnex Temperature Controller Electronic Heater

Finnex Temperature Controller Electronic HeaterI needed to fix my made in Italy submersible glass heater I bought

from a large pet supply chain store. Initially it was 4 degrees F hotter

than its settings, and a few weeks later, by the time I bought this controller,

it would vary up to 10 degrees more before I manually modulated it (plug/unplug).

After adding this controller, the tank's water temperature stays contant

within 0-1 degree F. Setting on the dial is about 2F lower than my

thermometer's reading, but that's easy to deal with. This setup will work

as long as your heater produces full heat on one of its sensible settings.

If my heater completely fails to heat someday, I can be assured the

replacement heater can't overheat the tank either with this controller working.

One wish would be for some way to detach the probe (e.g. quick connect)

to make tank maintenance easier, as long as it stays reliable.

(An unpluggable temperature probe works for my electric wall oven.)

Recommended for anyone using electric heaters for their tank.

It prevents a heater's built in thermostat sticking on from cooking your fish.

If your thermostat control is poor but turns on, this unit can replace that feature.

I've been using this temperature controller on my 210 gal salt setup with an 800W JBJ titanium heater after the expensive JBJ digital controller died after only 6 months of use. I'm not a big fan of digital controllers as the are very suscetable to power line issues, surges and brown outs and such. I did have teh JBJ unit plugged into a smal UPS to protect it from such interference but it still failed anyway. Must have been poor quality. Not what you expect for a $200 heater pachage. So far the analog HC-0800 Finnex controller has worked flawlessly. The unit looks and feels very high quality and is doing just as good a job as the JBJ digital controller for a fraction of the price. It still needs to pass teh test of time but I have a feeling it will.

Have had it now for about 6 months. Works well.

I deducted one star as the dial moves too easily so I tape it in place to keep it from accidentally being bumped and moving too high in one direction or the other
