AquaClear 70 Aquarium Power Filter - 40 to 70 Gallon
The Hagen AquaClear Power Filter is the best selling power filter available. Triple filtration offers superior biological, mechanical and chemical control capacities, all-in-one. Large surface foam and carbon inserts afford better filtration. The impeller provides a powerful water flow system that will remove organic toxins. A patented flow control feature, a basket to hold all filter media in one accessible place and a clear filter case for quick visual check of conditions; are all custom features that will make this filter simple to use. Included are: foam, carbon and BioMax media. Cut to fit precisely, the foam media will trap dirt and debris. The carbon used will efficiently remove organic compounds, dyes and medications. Biological colonies will be allowed to grow using BioMax, converting ammonia and nitrite to nitrate. There is a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee with this filter, making the AquaClear an excellent choice for your salt or fresh water aquarium. Aquaclear 20 (Mini): 100 gph for aquariums up to 20 gallonsCHAR(13) + CHAR(10) Aquaclear 30 (150): 150 gph for aquariums up to 30 gallons Aquaclear 50 (200): 200 gph for aquariums up to 50 gallons Aquaclear 70 (300): 300 gph for aquariums up to 70 gallons Aquaclear 110 (500): 500 gph for aquariums up to 110 gallons
Hi..if you are reading this and looking for a new or replacement filter, AquaClears are great. My 70 (300) is extremely quiet and my aquarium is crystal clear. Even though the filter comes with sponge, carbon and BioMax, you can set it up which ever way you want. The sponges can be washed in aquarium water to save a few dollars and maintain your biological filter. Cleans easily. The old number represented the gallons per hour. The new number represents the maximum size aquarium. Good luck.
So I recently did the hunt for a new power filter for my 55 aquarium. I saw alot of positive reviews for this filter so I bought one... Wow. This simple but POWERFUL filter does an exceptional job filtering my tank.
I also have a Peguin 200 power filter. Now this filter is what drove me to get a new one. You have to purchase insert filters and replace them regularly, which can be expensive and I think even wasteful. Also, the biowheel would often stop spinning after a few days.
So when I was looking for a new filter I wanted one with easy maintenance and would also allow you to rinse and reuse.
This aquaclear filter runs powerful, cleans the water using the three important steps, and allows me to customize my media inside it.
Looking at my tank now, I have both the new Aquaclear 70 running on one end, and my Penguin on the opposite. The water is like glass and the fish do indeed to be floating in nothing.
I have a overstock tank, lots of big and messy fish and lots of cories who snuffle along the bottom at all times. The water is pristine and there is no odor from the tank.
Really impressed with the filter.
I purchased 2 new ones for my 65 gallon tank, and their function has been flawless in over 1 year. They seem to pump a lot more water than any comparably sized or priced filters. They are easy to disassemble, maintain & clean. The easy to understand manual and parts diagrams are available on line at the [...] web site. I recently purchased a third unit at a garage sale which had been dumped in a storage box and unused for a long time. I tested it and it worked fine the first try..! All it needed was a replacement O ring for the motor. Parts are easily identified and available. Hagen Aquaclear will certainly be the power filters I will use for my next aquarium.

Aquarium Water Changer - 25 ft.
Aquarium Water Changer - 25 ft.
I did research for some weeks to find the right siphon. I've used a manual one for years, but it requires using buckets to get the water closer to the aquarium. Due to a recent back injury, I wasn't able to carry any type of weight, so I was going to buy the Python, however, after reading reviews here I settled for this one which is less expensive and looks to be the same. On the first try, the siphon did exactly what it said it would do, no buckets and no spills. It is amazing! Now, I plan on getting a bigger aquarium, because I know it will be easy to do water changes.
I was initially concerned with the water coming directly from faucet to the tank, and only after adding the water conditioner. I was scared to kill my fishes. But everything is fine, the conditioner took action. I only add a percentage of conditioner based on the water coming in; not for the whole tank. Clearly, local water varies from place to place, so you may want to double check with a local pet shop.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the Python comes with extension hoses, so if you plan on moving, and need more length, then to buy the brand accordingingly to your needs. Also, it is possible to use this siphon by yourself, it just requires running to the faucet and back to the tank a number of times as it vacuums or adds clean water. I've ended up asking someone to help me just to turn on water to get the vacuum going and to turn off water so there isn't so much wastage.
I was confused by some of the comments about water wastage. I.e. if I had to keep the water running as I vacuumed. But no, just initially it needs to run to get the siphon running and if to control the speed of the vacuum. That's why it is easier with a 2nd person opening and closing faucet.
Lastly, I did have one major problem with the siphon, the adaptors for the faucet did not fit. I had to buy an additional one to make it work with my kitchen faucet, but it worked fine.
This is a great product!!!
Hose - Thick and sturdy - not flimsy like a lot of other vacuum hoses. Won't crease on you during use which is important. I believe it will stand the test of time.
Vacuum Attachment - Think and wide enough to do the job. Won't break apart as you scrape it through the gravel to suck up the crap buried in it.
Faucet Attachment - Comes with several different attachments. Fit on my faucet easily with no leaks.
Use - Put the vacuum end into the water. Open the valve at the vacuum and open the valve at the faucet while running the faucet and the auto-siphon will begin. Make sure you turn off your aquarium filter so you don't burn it out and remove any plants/decorations in the water so you can do the job right. Might also be a good idea to clean out your sink of dishes, etc because all that crap will be coming back to your sink and going down your drain. Get down into the gravel and watch all the crap start lifting out from between the rocks. After you're done vacuuming simply lift the vacuum out of the water and let all the water suction out of the faucet end until the hose is empty. To fill the tank back up, simply close the faucet valve and the water will flow freely into the tank back through the vacuum end.
Easy enough and definitely worth the money. Good luck!
I just got this one, and already I really love it. It makes water changes so much simpler!

Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer
Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer
Pet-Agree uses ultrasonic technology to reduce training time from months to just weeks (and in some cases even minutes). At the click of a button, a silent humane, high frequency sound is emitted that emphasizes verbal commands.
I was somewhat apprehensive about buying an ultrasound device for dog training, because some of the other products were given lukewarm reviews. But at $20 for this handheld device, I thought I'd give it a try. Well, I am thrilled. This is not an overstatement. My husband and I have 2 dachshunds and a Yorkie puppy -- all are barking breeds. And bark they do. One starts, and it's pandemonium. We have been going crazy. Nothing stops them once they begin. This little device is the only thing that works. I pair a hand gesture with the Pet Agree. I put my hand out toward the dog as if I'm telling a car to stop, palm out. At the same time, I push down in two short bursts on the Pet Agree. Everything immediately goes silent. The dogs don't like the sound. My Yorkie dashes off to her little bed and sits quietly. My hope is that they will eventually stop barking with my hand motion alone, and I won't need to use the Pet Agree anymore. I recommend this product.
I was skeptical whether this product would work given the price and give than my dog is a beast. You don't even have to point this at the animal and it works. I have a very aggressive and hyper german shepherd and this brings her right to attention. I wish I would have purchased this a long time ago before purchasing a shock collar.
After opening the box, I realized that this is the same training aid my professional dog trainer uses.
I have a Welsh Corgi who doesn't bark a lot but when he gets going he won't listen to me when I tell him to "no bark" such as when he hears something like the coffee maker beep to say the coffee is ready. I got the Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer and along with the voice command of "no bark" it was like I hit a mute button. It doesn't scare him it just makes him stop barking and look up like he is thinking "where did that come from?" Sometimes he would go outside and if someone was walking down the street he would bark like crazy but after a couple of times with this device he now goes out and with just a reminder to not bark he is quiet while he is out, without using the device.
My sister's dog, also a Welsh Corgi, does bark a lot. When he is at my house one dog will bark and the other will join in and one touch of the Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer they both stop immediately without scaring them or shocking them.
I highly recommend it from my experience. Use it with a voice command and soon the voice command will work alone.

Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder
Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder
We purchased this feeder for our small cat. Just received yesterday. It will dispense in 1/4 cup increments up to 2 cups, 3 times per day. It is VERY easy to program, unlike the horror stories in the reviews for the previous LeBistro models. We ran it through several test feedings and it completed this morning's feeding without a problem. The bowl/chute combo covers the hopper entrance very effectively to prevent a clever cat from accessing the food. A paddle wheel inside rotates to dispense the food, but the paddles are sectioned and made of soft flexible material to prevent jamming. So far so good!
One of my two cats was recently diagnosed with a slew of food allergies. He was also referred to as obese during that vet visit. The result: He now requires expensive cat food at measured intervals and quantities during the day. The problem with that is that my wife and I work long hours and can't always be there when he needs to be fed, and if we leave out two servings, he demolishes them both instantly, which either leaves him hungry later on or requires that we feed him more than he needs which is hard on his weight and our pocketbook. This feeder has solved all of our problems. Even better, it appears Petmate took the negative reviews of their previous electronic feeder and fixed every common bug. This device is light, portable, VERY easy and intuitive to use, is not easily sabotaged by overly intelligent felines, delivers well measured (not perfect, but close enough) portions when it is needed. The bowl is removable for cleaning and it has an AC port. The only drawback is that the cord is a separately purchased item, but at least it's an option. I would recommend this to anyone, and for the price, it's pretty hard to beat.
I've had the Petmate LeBistro feeder for over a year now, so I suppose I'm qualified to post a review.
I purchased this feeder to replace the size small Ergo feeder I tossed in the trash (after two replacements and several times being broken down). If you're comparing this one with the Ergo, just take the Ergo off your list. This one is far more reliable for half the price.
I really love this thing. It works great, I've had no issues with it, the cats like it, and it affords me all kinds of freedom. No more worries about getting home to feed kitties or leaving for a couple of days...the feeder takes care of everything.
It's easy to program, the batteries last for a long time (no worries if the power goes out), and the parts don't get jammed up.
I see that several folks here have made modifications of all types. I have not. I have two kitties, one of whom is extremely food driven. While she will shove her paw up into the hopper, all it does is loosen food designated for her next meal. She isn't getting anything extra.
I have yet to see her "empty 1/5" of the feeder (which could only happen if, perhaps, the feeder were dispensing too much kibble due to incorrect measurement by her owner). The most I've ever been able to shake loose by jostling the feeder is a couple of kibbles.
Regarding the issue of too much food coming out, the food I feed my cats is far smaller than 1/2", but I just decreased the amount to be fed according to how much actually comes OUT of the feeder, not by how much the selecter says. You don't have to buy different food, just measure it with a measuring cup and decrease the amount selected.
I also paid attention to how much weight the cats seemed to be gaining/losing and adjusted accordingly. More active kitties need more food. For a while I fed 1/2C (more came out due to small kibble) in morning and evening (at total of 1 C). The cats started gaining too much weight, so I changed it to 1/4 C at morning, noon, and evening (total of 3/4 C). They dropped down to a healthy weight easily and seem quite happy.
I've found that spreading out meals to three times a day instead of two stops her from shoving her paws into the feeder at all, even though they are getting less kibble. don't feel like you should only feed them twice a day...the feeder gives you options!

IRIS Plastic Exercise / Containment Pet Pen for Dogs, White
IRIS Plastic Exercise / Containment Pet Pen for Dogs, White
This product is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I have a chihuahua who's almost 11 years old, and has occasional accidents. Since having the carpeting replaced, and not wanting to put her into a claustrophobic kennel (just seemed wrong), I went for this product. It's so roomy! and the design is feminine, sturdy, lightweight and open. The gate is so well made and very cute and useful.
For those of use who work and need to keep our pets in a controlled area when we can't watch for accidents, this pet pen is a livesaver, and my dog absolutely loves it. There's enough room for a small oil-filled heater, her large burrow bed and blankets, water bowl, bone-chewing/play area. Also, I sectioned off a small area for her potty pads, so she doesn't have to "hold it" when I'm gone for longer periods of time. The pen is so roomy, that there's plenty of distance between the potty pads, her bed, and water dish. You can also customizing the shape of the pen. It's the greatest!
In terms of waterproofing, I lined the bottom with a shower curtain from the dollar store and topped with a queen-sized quilt. It's soft and comfy and accident-proof! Even my cat sneaks in there to catch a few winks.
This is so much better than a kennel or keeping your pet in the bathroom while you're away.
We call this our pet apartment. We have two miniature dachshunds who stay inside our home all day while we are away at work. They love their apartment. It is big enough inside for them to have their bed, food, water, potty pads, and play area. One of the great things about this particular one is that you can reshape it so that it can take on just about any shape...even go around corners like we have it doing now in our home. We even went out of town and packed it down so that we could take it with us. (It is so easy to take apart and put up!)
I bought this pen for my new boston terrier puppy. It is very portable and sturdy. we take it apart, which takes about 5 seconds, and take it outside for her to play in and it sets back up just as quick and easy. it keeps her out of trouble and safe from choking and other hazards (and my furniture) when we are away and cant keep our eyes on her. i just keep plenty of safe puppy toys in there to keep her entertained. I can make it as small as 4 panels or use all of them. it has also been great for housebreaking. I kept the entire floor inside the pen covered with puppy papers for several days and gradually reduced them to only one pad. now when I let her out she goes straight to a pad and she is only 11 weeks old. I have raised puppies before but this pen has made a world of difference with this puppy.
I am actually very surprised that this item has worked so well. The door latches seem flimsy and I thought the dog (especially since she is a lab mix) would eat through the thin plastic rails. Amazingly, even though she tries to eat walls and loves plastic, this did not happen. Perhaps this is because the spacing is just not big enough for dogs to bite the rails. She has always stayed inside the pen. One time, she got overexcited and knocked it over, but scared herself so badly in the process (it made a lot of noise) that she has never tried it again.
The pen is light, so is perfect for indoor apartment use as it is easily moveable, conforms to tight spaces (as it is made up of interlocking panels) and does not scratch the wood floor. If your dog does manage to knock it over, it would be relatively easy to buy metal clamps at Lowes and bolt the structure to the floor. It would be impossible for most dogs, even large ones, to jump out of it. It seems fine for outdoor use as well, though I haven't had the opportunity to try it. Best of all, it is extremely easy to disassemble and put back together. It has lasted more than a year without a scratch so far, even though it gets a lot of daily alone time with the dog; even the latches are still good... so it has already earned its keep.

Fish Mox (Amoxicillin 250 mg) - 100 Caps
Fish Mox (Amoxicillin 250 mg) - 100 Caps
I was horrified recently to see that my adult siamese cat had a huge infection on her head. She is in indoor outdoor cat. Her head was almost twice the size, and pus was oozing from a small wound on the left side of her forehead. I'm not sure how it happened, but it was pretty bad and it smelled, too.
I had purchased Fish Mox 250 mg long ago but I had never used it. I immediately gave my cat about 100 mg by sprinkling it on some wet catfood in the morning and another 100 mg with some wet catfood in the evening. Thank goodness she still had an appetite. I also applied some neosporin directly on the wound. Within 48 hours, I could see my cat was improving. After 5 days she seemed to be healed, but I kept her on the Fish Mox for 2 more days.
Thank God for Fish Mox! It was a lifesaver for my cat!
Fish Mox works very well for cats with upper resperatory infections.Fish Mox is Amoxicillin it comes in different mg.I use 250 mg capsule.I open the capsule and mix it in there moist food.I give them 1 to 2 pills per day depending on there size for about a week. I have alot of farm cats to care for. Fish Mox is reasonable price and does not need a vet prescription.I only give it to my farm cats because i can not afford to take all them to the vet.My indoor cat goes to the vet if there is any problems.I would recommend FishMox it has helped my cats but please remember your cat may need to see a vet.I give the Fishmox because i have so many farm cats.It is still good to take your pets to the vet if you can .
This truly is Amoxicillin without a prescription. I went through a period without any health insurance and had heard of the "fish mox" thing before but was always nervous about it.
The pills I received were clearly marked 'WEST WARD 938', if you google that you'll find its been cleared for human consumption. This is the same stuff you'd get filled by your local clinic anyway.
Although I can't recommend self medication, I can say that the pills are safe for human consumption. Keep in mind taking antibiotics without a genuine need to is always bad news. The only reason I 'self medicated' was because my entire house came down with strep throat and we all had the exact same symptoms.
100% amoxicillin!!! I gave it to my dog to clear up her UTI/Bladder Infection. She had the same infection in the past and was treated with clavamox and prescription dog food. I gave her the amoxicillin and prescription dog food and she's feeling 100% better. Much cheaper than buying the amoxicillin from a vet and paying for an office visit. If I didn't know what was wrong with her, I definitely would have taken her to the vet, however with her breed, she gets them often and I now know how to treat it. Clavamox is 90% amoxicillin, and 10% of another medication, however I caught the infection in it's early stage because I know what to look for and the amoxicillin worked just fine. Thanks for all the reviews that informed me that this medication can be given to pets and humans. I personally can't take it because I'm allergic to it, but it's nice to have antibiotics on standby for my animals.
A friend explained to me that amoxicillin is AMOXICILLIN. Doesn't matter if your doctor gives you a scrip for it or if you buy the fishy brand and use that to assist your body when you're feeling sick.
Of course, what my friend didn't mention was that you take enough Fish Mox and you'll grow gills and breathe underwater! The last time I went swimming in the pond I spent the entire time at the bottom. You'd never believe all the cool stuff you can find down there if you just have the time and gills.
Oh well, so again if you want cheap and easy health...this is the product for you. If you're interested in helping push human society closer to the next evolution of "Flippered Men", then this is the product for you.
This is an excellent product the quality is 5(five)Star and so is the price. You can't go wrong with this one !!!
I was horrified recently to see that my adult siamese cat had a huge infection on her head. She is in indoor outdoor cat. Her head was almost twice the size, and pus was oozing from a small wound on the left side of her forehead. I'm not sure how it happened, but it was pretty bad and it smelled, too.
I had purchased Fish Mox 250 mg long ago but I had never used it. I immediately gave my cat about 100 mg by sprinkling it on some wet catfood in the morning and another 100 mg with some wet catfood in the evening. Thank goodness she still had an appetite. I also applied some neosporin directly on the wound. Within 48 hours, I could see my cat was improving. After 5 days she seemed to be healed, but I kept her on the Fish Mox for 2 more days.
Thank God for Fish Mox! It was a lifesaver for my cat!

Highland 20045 Black Universal Pet Barrier
Highland 20045 Black Universal Pet Barrier
I installed this in my Mazda3 5 door wagon the day it arrived (which was very fast I might add). It fit perfectly. The height of the barrier was just low enough to fit in my wagon, so it didn't require a lot of adjusting that way. The bars slide out on the sides to fit the width of the wagon nicely. I've had my three Boston Terriers back there numerous times now. No escaping possible! I had looked through different pet stores for a barrier like this, but they were 3 times the price! This is a great deal.
I installed this in a Ford Explorer and I am very pleased.I had an old style wire barrier that was heavy and cumbersome to use.
This is lightweight and sturdy.My shepard mix dog weighs in around 100 lbs. and does not like being caged and he cannot knock it down.
Saves all the work cleaning dog hair off the seats.Well worth the price around 30.00.
I bought this barrier even after reading the negative reviews about it not working well out of the box. Sure enough my akita got through it in about 3 mins. The main issue is with the vertical cross bars not staying in place.
My solution was cheap and easy and does not require you to be a "handyman" as other reviews have stated. I found #8 hose clamps (found in plumbing section of hardware store) makes this barrier rock solid and neither my akita or pit can get through it. $2 fix and only thing required is screwdriver. Hope this helps any of you thinking about this product.
It also provides great visibility while driving and can't beat the price!
Highland 20045 Black Universal Pet Barrier (Automotive)
We adopted an energetic 2 yr. old lab. We travel frequently by car and we tried 'Dog Whisperer' techniques to keep our guy in the back, but it was not working. The Highland Pet Barrier is perfect. It fits easily into our Honda CRV or our larger suv's, Grand Cherokee. It's legs screw in or out to adjust the height. The horizontal arms slide out trombone like and then can be locked to fit the car's width. We attached bungee cords around the back seat head rests to allow us to 'angle' the barrier, placing the legs snug against the seat base, giving our pooch the entire back cargo area. It works wonderfully. No more dog trying to drive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. And the price was terrific! I saw some at 3 times the price. Shpg. was very prompt. If you're considering it go for it.
