I bought this at Walmart actually but happened to see it on here when I was trying to find out how to plug them in to work. I had it done when I first bought it and now I can't get it the same way.

Otherwise, fun cute item tho.

EHEIM Jager Aquarium Thermostat Heater, 250-Watt

I bought this heater to replace a Ebo Jager that I had had in my 75 gallon tank and a 70 before that for 10 or 15 years total. I have tried a wide variety of heaters over the past 30 years and there is no other submersible heater that can match an Ebo Jager. The temperature setting was perfectly accurate, dead on at 78 degrees. Did a partial water change and quickly returns to 78 degrees even though I used relatively cool tap water.

This was recommended by many as a top notch aquarium heater so I ordered it. Put it in my 29 gal and it worked great...then the other day I noticed my temps inching up and the heater running even when the temp was higher than what it was set on. I started looking through the manual, oh wow is it bad, in an attempt to figure out what was going on. I am now sending a request to their tech support...and thank goodness it is warm now and I don't need to worry about my fish getting cold! Too bad I am beyond my 30 days with Amazon.

Buy EHEIM Jager Aquarium Thermostat Heater, 250-Watt Now

Only used it for two weeks. The temp variance was off by about 2 1/2 degrees. This was adjusted by the variance tab. I check my water temp everyday when it is plugged in. A big plus for me is this is actually made in Germany. You don't see that much anymore. Good build construction. Also, many complain about Eheim being a big heater compared to others. Yes it is, but this extra size allows more surface area to dissipate heat (efficiency) and more separation between heating coils and thermostat.

Don't hesitate to buy one. Really one of the best in tank heaters.

Works fine. Would have been five stars so far except for the oft-mentioned length. Placed it diagonally at the rear of a 55 long. No problem. Temp has stayed steady since the day I placed it. Had to buy in a hurry due to finding out about the potentially explosive Stealth Pro..

I have been buying the Tetra brand aquarium heaters and they just don't perform and they just don't last. Although it is too early too tell the longevity of this device I can say without question that there was a visible quality difference just in the way the unit appeared and felt. It felt sturdy, and the attachment suction cups were also hiqh quality. With the Tetra heater, I was unable to get my tank above 74 degrees--which was ok but not optimal for the variety of fish that I have. I plugged in the EHEIM and within an hour I was up to 76. I waited a day to acclimate the fish then jumped the temp to 78. The fish are happy and I am too. I have always known of the quality of EHEIM filters and it appears to me that that same care and quality is included in their heaters. I am a fan!

Pondmaster 02920 20-Watt Ultra-Violet-Light Pond Water Clarifier

My backyard pond has always given me trouble with severe algae. I would clean it out and the next day it was green again. I could never enjoy my fish, and many were even dying. A local pond builder recommended I try a UV light as a last resort. I did lots of research online looking for the best one, since I knew nothing about UV lights. All the reviews I read on the Pondmaster UV light were good, and it seemed like a well-built product. I liked the idea of being able to use it in or out of the water. The only question I couldn't find an answer to was how to actually set it up in my pond with my pump and waterfall. I finally found a website with some help, but I would have been more confident in buying if I had more information on installation. When I received the product I found it was very easy to assemble and install. After 4 days my pond went from deep green to pale gray, then each day it got more and more clear. After about one week my pond is clear and I am enjoying watching my fish again. I would strongly recommend this product to any pond owner. It was so easy to install, and has cut my pond maintenance down significantly. No more dumping algaecides and clarifiers in with my fish either.

I bought a 20W bulb for ~2000 gallon pond. It has been running a couple of weeks and the water is clearer, but not clear. Perhaps the bulb included was not up to par. My biggest beef is that the enclosed set up diagram was completely wrong. You will need to attach a 3/4" fitting on the light housing to the 1" inside diameter of the 1 1/4" hose from a typical pond pump. You will need two sets of 3/4" to 1" nalgene fittings and two-3/4" and two-1" hose clamps.

I bought the pondmaster 02920 as a new item. However, when

i received the shipment, it's a used one. I can clearly see

some minor scratches on the surface. The UV light has some

kind of plague at the connector end. Also, the packing was

loose.

I am really disappointed with this type of service from amazon.

Laguna PowerGlo LED Mini Pond Light Kit with 2-Pack 40-Bulb LED Lights

Use this for my fountain in the front yard. It really lights it up nice, the photo cell works well, comes on at dusk and off at dawn. Lots of cord too.

I purchased this product to light up a waterfall I built at night. First the good:

*Long cords make it easy to hide cords while placing lights wherever you want. This is both from the plug itself plus between the two lights.

*Bright enough to really light up the area.

*Quick connects make it really easy to install and use without any alterations.

Things that could have been used to improve this product:

*I personally would have preferred a softer whitish blue light or maybe even some filters to turn it to a light blue color. While these do a great job lighting the waterfall, they are definitely a yellow white color which is harsher than I would like. (not marking off due to the fact that they did a great job advertising and I knew this when I purchased)

*While these will sit on the ground or a flat ledge just fine, I wish there was something on the bottom to secure the lights if you wanted them at a specific angle. Maybe a little plastic jutting out with a pre-drilled screw hole on two sides so you could screw it into a angled board or zip tie it to a pipe?

*While the lights do adjust, they will only move back in forth on set patterns rather than fully moveable which means you might be slightly off as you cannot stop it anywhere on the swivel....

Overall, this was a great product that I would recommend to someone building a waterfall. I have not had any options with the light sensor or lights going out while submerged but will update my review if this happens.

Lights are fine but hooked to a timer (not included) because after the third night of activation, the unit failed.

Light are working OK and doing what was described.

When I called the vendor, I was told to put everything back into its original box and they would repair or replace.

I spent several hours installing/threading wires from the outlet to the transformer on to the lights (cosmetic purist)

did not want to go through the same routine in reverse and then reinstall the new/repaired unit once returned to me.

Since the customer service tech seemed not to accept that I simply return the detachable ON/Off Light sensor unit

"because policy is that the lights must be returned in the package theycame in" and that was that; I insisted on speaking

to her supervisor, who seemed emminently more reasonable and said she woul try to find a replacement Light Sensor.

All that transpired two weeks ago, and I'm still without the sensor.

Moral of the story: Only buy this Pond Light Kit if you can use it without the ON/OFF dusk to dawn feature. Most lower

end sensors, if they fail will do so within days of first use, if that works in your intended application, then go for it.

These were a real find! They come with two submersible lights with a daylight sensor (on at dusk off at dawn) and a long cord. The lighting is bright but not over-powering. Perfect mood lighting in a mid-size fountain. They sit on the bottom without any need to mount or clip them. By day they are inconspicuous and unobtrusive. A great product.

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.

CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Gravel

This is by far one of my favorite substrates. I have used CaribSea Cichlid substrate in the past for my African cichlid aquarium but, before it settles completely, it often gets in the filter motor causing it to get extremely hot. The air stones/line in the tank also disturb this substrate giving the water a slightly cloudy appearance. The Instant Aquarium has a perfect granular size and I have had no fish loss in previous uses leading me to believe it works as well as it claims. I do have to increase the pH levels using other materials but it definitely beats replacing my filter unit. It's easy to clean and once settled, it remains settled. The water is always crystal clear. Definitely recommend this product!

One bag works for my 55g just fine. Decided it was enough after watching a video of someone using one bag in a 75g. Here's the video showing how its put in, was helpful for me :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2HR5WS_mM0 start at 3 minutes and 12 seconds into the video

No washing or cloudiness (cloudy for a few minutes). Goldfish love it.

This gravel is great. It is coarser than sand which is what we wanted. Also, it is a gorgeous shimmery black which makes our fishes colors look beautiful! It was enough for our smaller 5 gallon tank, plus we had some left over.

Fresh Step Clay Cat Litter, with Odor Eliminating Carbon, 14 Lb.

This product is not the old regular version of the litter. It is the newer Extreme version with more fragrance.

I had a hard time training my formally outside cat to this litter. So, I had to put dirt in the box also with the litter so that he would get the idea. He didn't like to much at first. However, he now likes it. The strong scent does sometimes bother my asthma.

Laguna PowerFlo Mechanical/Biological Pro Polishing Filter Pad, Fine

Easy to clean and lasts a long time. Still using my first one and its 4 years old. Laguna has a lot of great products.

Arrived on time & was as advertised. Had to cut-to-fit the pad because my filter box is rectangular. This pad was used in addition to several other types of pads to get the most out of my filtering system & it works quite well.

Works excellent for removing fine debris from the water. Would recommend buying a second pad to double stack since a single pad requires regular cleaning. Single pad took only 1 day to remove the cloudiness from my 900 gallon pond

Aquarium Systems Maxi Jet 600 Powerhead

Perfect for freshwater or marine.

I've been using maxi-jet pumps for years in various applications, and this one acted like pretty much every other one I've used: It usually starts on its own when plugged in, but sometimes the volute needs to be turned slightly to get the impeller to start turning. When it's running it's cool and quiet, unless there's too much restriction on the output, which causes the impeller to chatter.

In short, it acts like a maxi-jet!

This review might sound negative, but it really isn't. This is my go-to pump when I need a small, cheap, reasonably reliable pump to move water from one place to another. They mix saltwater, transfer it from the mixing barrel to the tanks, feed media reactors, etc.

These are my fall back pumps, as I've used them for over 20 years with marine (saltwater) aquariums. I've used them in sumps, corals, plants, fish (always with a strainer attached) and with maintenance, they have lasted on average 2 years each. Will continue to buy them.

One of my marine enthusiasts also had me try Rio pumps (when they came out years ago). They had sufficient output for sumps, but they also had electrical issues. Not a good thing in saltwater, since it is a good conductor of electricity, let alone for my corals and more delicate shrimp and fish :(

I removed all Rios and went back to these pumps. The sump pump I have is a larger different model, but love the Maxi Jets.

Galleon Ship Aquarium Ornament - 2 Part

This is a very nice product . It arrived well packaged with no damage . Fits my pirate tank decor . Provides great hiding places for my African cichlids .

It's a very awesome ornament and it looks great in my boyfriends fishtank (I bought it for him for Christmas). The HUGE BUMMER thing was that when he opened this present, it was broken in a few spots and a few pieces broke off completely. It was a horrible feeling, but luckily he has fishtank sealant. So he fixed it but I'm really dissappointed that it showed up this way because I paid alot of money for this and expected it to come without any damage. I wont buy from this company again.

PROS:---------

1. very very very fast shipping not sure if it was just me but it was way ahead of scedual

2. very large pores i happen to have a microscope from when i bought my daughter her colage supplys when she wanted to be a chemist of some sort

3. can be good depending on your purpose of this item i like i0t beacuse i have very very very large filter bags and i have 2 fluval 406s and 1 is for mechanical and 1 is for chemical and i use 2 [pond filter bags and stuff the 1 for chemical full of it and fill the secend 406 with the 2 bags of carbon

Imagine Gold Llc AIM10035 Drum Bowl, 1/2gal, 24-Pack

Other people feel that this tank is too small. It all depends on what you are caring for. As a joke, I got a packet of Sea Monkeys. Now I have 15 of them. The container is too small. This fish bowl is perfect. If people are not smart enough to read the size listed or figure out the volume they need, then they shouldn't own animals. This bowl is just fine for my sea monkeys.

While the bowl I received served the purpose it was intended for (serving gummy fish at my daughter's party), it looks completely different than the pictures in the listing. It is flat on the bottom and on the side so it can sit upright and at an angle. Which was fine, luckily, but it would have been a problem had it been intended for actual fish or something that I wanted the bowl to look symmetrical. The bowl itself is decent quality for the price, and had a plastic lid, which came in handy keeping our candy fresh. But again was expecting something different. So just be aware, the product I received does not look anything like the bowl pictured and you may get the same.

i have not bought this item i got the glass half gallon bowl, its not big enough for many fish, but its big enough for malaysian trumpet snails, thats what i put in mine. you may have to buy online, most places dont have them because theyre notorious for taking over tanks and multiplying, the aquarium i got mine from was trying to get rid of them so they gave em to me. but they're one of the easiest things i know of to take care of. they can live in 50-90 degree water, it doesn't really matter if you want 5 or 50 of them for a tank this small, they'll multiply and fill it if you give them enough food. they eat algae so all you need is to put the bowl under a light or put in algae wafers. their tough to kill, more resilient than most tiny aquatic creatures, and its best to put them on their own, they will multiply with food and theres not many fish that will eat even the babies. im gonna use the siphon and pump of a tetra 3i whisper filter and a sponge to make a sponge filter for it, although it will probably be more of a gravel vac because it takes up a lot of room in a tank this small, it'll take care of that debris though, these guys are dirtier in numbers. hope i helped
