I have an ecosphere I bought two years ago from the smithsonian. All of my shrimp died in two months. Where do I get it recharged? What is the cost? Mine is the tear drop shaped in small.

I think my instructions mentioned that you may get you ecosphere recharged for free within 6 months, but you have to pay for shipping. If you bought it 2 years ago I don't think they will do anything

Recharged? So you can kill some more? These shrimp are under enough stress being malnourished swimming in their own feces.

If you kept the materials that were shipped with it, they tell you how to get it replaced. I think you are past the timeline but I am pretty sure that they gave it a 6 month guarantee. Please look again for the inserts and directions that came with it. Sorry to hear you had trouble.

Recommendations for eneloops and any rechargeable batteries. 1. Buy a good charger. 2. Don't quick charge, the extra heat will shorten the batteries life. 3. Replace them when they are low, don't leave them draining with the power on in devices. You will have two or three that won't charge without a paper clip jump (earlier post) . 4. Don't mix dead and charged batteries, the drained will be charged by the full ones the worst way to charge a battery.5. Dont mix newer generations of eneloops and older generations-it goes back to newer eneloops charging the older batteries. 6. Buy a good charger that monitors each battery throughout the charge!

Mine lasted less than three months. I got hold of the company via the computer. Fortunately, I had just bought the unit from Wal-Mart. They had me send the new unit to them (they did reimburse me for the UPS charge). The new unit lasted all last summer and I have two months use this year. I know a replacement bulb is $19.99 at Ace Hardware. I would 'bitch and moan' to Stinger. I even tried filing a complaint with the Consumer Safety Commission, but, unless I can prove the unit is unsafe, nothing can be done. I complained to the Better Business Bureau - never heard from them. I went to the Federal Trade Commission's website - their reply was 'don't buy a Stinger.' A friend of mine is an electrician and he said the Chinese transformer in the unit is not quality - it can surge and burn out the bulb. I've also written Wal-Mart who sells a couple of different models of the Stinger, but they're still pices of crap. Good luck.

the last time I bought this on amazon was 6 months ago but it was NOT the energy version it was just max. If you order it here and they send you a different version make them resend the correct. Netrush is who the seller was when I bought it on Amazon. Make sure you buy it from a seller with a good feedback rating. I can't recall what the expiration date on it was but it hadn't expired and wasn't expiring soon either. I am buying this now at Costco as the price was about the same. Although last time I went they only had the energy version (which I bought). I can't tell the difference but would prefer the non-energy version too.

Call brinkmann directly, specifically ask for a rechargeable battery for a max million III. There will be shipping but I know you can get one that way I DID it was a few years ago so I do not remember the price. I'd say all together it should be no more than 20-25 dollars at most You can get the number off internet at brinkmann customer service. I would give you number but I don't know if it's allowed. You can find a rechargeable battery on internet but I don't trust what you may get. If you try else where if it's 40-60 dollars it the whole light.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help. I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago.

Thanks for the tip - will check it out. We use it personally. The first Tempest lasted 12 years. I got tired of all the others' blades breaking and before you realize it, you are ingesting miniscule pieces of blade! Not so with the Tempest. Have had the replacement Tempest for almost 3 years now. They pulverize ice and frozen fruits without lumps. I don't care about the 2 year warranty based on having owned one for 12 years. Sure, for reassurance, a 5 year warranty would be great, but then they'd probably raise the price unnecessarily. Oh - and also, I experienced stuck chunks of fruit in the other brands' containers in the "corners". The Tempest Wave Action eliminates that problem. Thanks for the tip - will check it out.

There was a leaflet that came with my tank which shows how to order replacement from the factory. I can't find it or the website now. I was planning to just get one of the bubble lights on Amazon instead.

I got one of those green plastic things too! Couldn't figure it out, looked up the backpack on the HDP website and it said nothing about it. THEN, today I was looking on Amazon for something else and came across what I think is the answer.........its......................an...........................egg poacher....look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA1H0OUUHoY----------- have NO clue why it was in this backpack (maybe some one in the warehouse messing around?).... Really strange that I've been obsessed with making the perfect poached egg and happened to see it on Amazon!...LOL

I would suggest to contact Nature's Bounty because they were the ones who manufactured this product. You can contact them by typing their company's name in google search to find out their email or toll free tel # in their website

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. The packaging is very well insulated and I received this by Fedex. Save the box and styrofoam in it you will need it to safely transport it when needed. I don't believe the shrimp will die during transport. hope this helps. I love my EcoSphere - all my shrimp are still alive. It's so calming to watch them. I keep mine in my office, and when I get really uptight or anxious I just watch them swim around for a few minutes and it really helps calm me down. This works way more better than medication. :) Cindy

My suggestion is get a better light. Mine blew out after 2 months and they made me pay for shipping and would not send one first so my corals did not suffer. After 2 weeks they sent back a used one and will not respond to me about this issue. Horrible company. Do yourself a favor pay an extra hundred and get the real thing. Also if you do get it 1 per 65 gallons I believe. So you would need 2. Again be warned about this company.

That's a real shame there are so many bad experiences - I bought one in 2009 and find it's the best thing ever - charge directly on computer, small fits in anywhere no weight to carry easy to film and upload - I've loved it - I want to buy another one mine got water poured on it - bit hesitant with these comments

I have had mine for 3-4 years and it just stopped dispensing the powder. Called RCBS and since it is beyond the one year warrantee, there is nothing they can do replace. Repairing is not done. Anyone have any suggestions as to where it might be repaired. This is a lot of money for something that's not constantly used and can't be repaired. Dave

I use the sanyo eneloop batteries in my son's Leapster--the original, not the Leapster 2. They last as long as regular batteries and the discharge rate is extremely slow when dormant. Regular rechargeables completely discharge within a matter of days when left unused. Plus, the eneloops last up to 1,000 charges, while the charging station is good for something like 300 charges? I purchased my rechargeables for around $15 with a charger included. My son and daughter are each getting a Leapster 2 for Christmas and I have already purchased more eneloops (@ $10 for 4). I don't see why rechargeables wouldn't work in the Leapster 2--I seem to remember reading several reviews where people reported opting for rechargeables vs. charging station. Hope this helps!

I'll add to the first answer as that was how mine was packaged. Our shrimp took three days to get to us since we live in Alaska. We ordered them a couple weeks ago during December. Only two were DOA but they had supplied us with more then 12 so I wasn't too concerned. They are doing well and we've had them for almost a week.
