Hello all. I'm new to the forum, and just getting back into the hobby of aquariums. I started out with air pumps and corner filters with filter floss, then worked my way up to hang-over-the-tank filters/pumps. Due to space constraints, I want to start up my 55-gallon tank, but with an...

I know this might sound like a silly question, and probably has very little effect on anything. But will leaving my canister filter dry with water drained out for 2 weeks effect the bio material in a harmful way. Is there anything I should be aware of when I go to start it up again after it...

Hi, So I recently (on sunday) upgraded to 56 tall and will be using a canister - fluval 404 for the very first time. I have been told that i basically have to clean/change/replace (basically mess with the filter) every 6 months How true is this? Do i need to do any more frequent less tedious...

Finally decided to upgrade to a canister filter and am curious as to if anyone's had experience doing so... Would moving the media from my HOB filter to a basket in the canister filter have sufficient BB to not go though a mini cycle? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

has anyone ever made a canister filter before, they do nit seem to hard to build and i enjoy projects like this but is it worth making my own? and if any one has made one what container did you use ad the canister body? i think a 5 gallon bucket would work but i can not find any videos or any...

Here it is the start of my first diy horizontal canister filter. Once I get these measured out a dry fitted I will finish getting measurements for the rest of the pipe. Then the second stage will begin. Sent from my SCH-I200PP using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Ive been watching alot of videos on youtube of people building canister filters. Does anyone have experience with this and how well do they work? Sent from my SCH-I200PP using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Watched the vid below along with many others on the sunsun/aquatop. Just got it and I will say the quality is pretty good. It was very easy to set up and prime. I can barely hear it too. I HIGHLY recommend it. I ordered my Sunsun 304 from amazon for $60+ shipping with media if I remember...

Hi all, it's been awhile. I bought a used Eheim Pro II External Canister Filter 2026 a few years ago with a tank and it's begun to develop a slow leak somewhere out of the upper portion above the canister. The leak seems to be increasing in rapidity which makes me think it's time to do...

After some discussion with Matt Chambers about this item, I figured I'd give it a review. This was one of the items generously donated by Cobalt that served as one of the awards for the Aquarium Beautiful contest at this year's AquaMania. I ended up taking it home and as much of a naysayer I...

Planning on having 2 FX5s in a 180g. Any suggestions on where to put the intakes and outputs? I thought of the intakes on either side and the outputs in the middle. Thoughts?

Hello all, Despite having freshwater/brackish water fish tanks for almost 4 decades, they've generally been smaller tanks in which HOB filters were sufficient. I was lucky enough to win a Marineland C-360 at Aquamania auction last week and have just finished installing on my 55. This 55 is...

Sup folks,,, I'm thinking of adding a canister to my display.. Just a little info on the tank, It's a 180 upstairs which my plumbing drops 16ft down to my basement which hits a 60 gallon sump, then drops 2 more ft & hits a 200 gallon Rubbermaid tub before it heads back up to my display...

Has any one been using the aqua top canister filters? If so, what are your opinions about it? 66 dollars gets you a pump rated for 125 gallons plus a 9 watt UV sterilizer..is it worth it?

I'm thinking about buying one for my 75 gallon that and can not get to clear up because of the water polishing, has any one ever used one of these Sent from my DROID RAZR using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

I'm looking at my choices for Eheim canister filters and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed....I see classic series, pro series, advanced, and ECCO. I've been to their website and looked at them but I'm still pretty unsure of which to get.... I'd like to hear your opinions, experiences, and please...

I have a eheim pro II and I'm looking for supplemental filtration. I'm tempted to get a cheap one off ebay. I can get a 100g (300goh) for $50. Are they more trouble than they are worth?

Right now, I have one of my big display setups in the basement consisting of a 6' long 150 gallon sitting atop a 75 on one of Chris O'Leary's awesome custom metal stands. The 150 is filtered by an AC110 and 2 Rena XP3 canister filters. I want to swap out the 75 for a 125 and the problem is...

I broke down and am upgrading my cube to a 50 gallon so I can keep my rainbow babies for a while longer! :-) Question about filter. I currently have a Marineland 220 running. It's not quite enough, I don't think. Which of these two would you get instead: Marineland C-360 or Fluval 305??
