filter

Hey guys I grabbed a sponge filter to handle the bio filtration on my new grow out tank with a small HOB running strictly for mechanical. How small of an air pump can I run on the sponge being that all I need it for is aerating bacteria? It's in my office and the airpump thats on there is...

Okay, I am pricing out a few things for my (still) possible room remodel. Anyone have any experience with this filter. Good for 100,000 gallons. I figure that will get me a lot of water changes in a year...

HI everyone, I am in the process of bulging a sump and am planning on using poly filter. I'm just wondering where to get your poly filter sheets. I have found it on Amazon but either too expensive or too much of it. Thanks for the help, Lucas

Thinking about changing my filter on a 125 to a FX6. The reason I am changing is my sun sun and EXT canister filters are not getting the job done. I have a lot of particulates in my water column. The sun sun works great on my 55 thought that and an EXT would be fine. For those that use the...

Not sure why, but the Cobalt EXT filter is on sale at Amazon for a very low price – $78,with free shipping. Usually don't see this for less than $100. For comparison, kensfish.com is selling them for $102.95.

I have recently set up a number of 40 breeder tanks and have decided to go primarily with Sponge Filters. The tanks will be used mainly for Fry grow out, a breeder group here and there, and quarantine tanks. What is the guide line for sponge filter size. For my canisters and HOB I go for 10 to...

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...

I have a bunch of Hydro sponge filters, and I'm missing uplift tubes for some of them. Anyone know a good DIY solution to make more? I'm assuming its just a matter of finding the right diameter rigid tubing, but wanted to ask if anyone had found something.

Just curious what brand of sponge filters people use. I see Aqua Top Classics, Hydro Sponge III, and Lee's Filters. I notice some brands make it easy to purchase replacement Sponges. Also what pumps are you using with them? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Has anyone use Polyfiber batting material in there HOB filters rather than the cartridges? I've heard that the batting is also an excellent media and is actually a little thicker, more effective, less expensive and lasts significantly longer. If so, do you still actually need the carbon or...

Does anybody have an experiences with pre-washed pool filter sand? Living in a highrise condo without a back yard has me dreading the thought of rinsing 100+ lbs of sand multiple times in my kitchen sink. Where do I buy pre washed sand? How much? Thanks all!

I am setting up a new tank and I am running the new filter on my established tank, how long before i can setup the new aquarium and move it so that it establishes beneficial bacteria?

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

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 speaker at September's meeting mentioned he uses wall filter foam in all his tanks. I found the website that sells the foam in large sheets, but there must be some DIY required. Anyone have an idea or link to how a foam filter wall os made in the tank? Thanks Marlin Sent from my SCH-I545...

Hello All! I live in the Woodbridge area and I'm calling out all other Woodbridge residents to ask your opinion. Do you run your tap water through a filter before putting it in your tank? I'm currently using API's Tap Water Filter and I'm wondering, is it really necessary? Or will just using...

I switch over my 125 to pool filter sand. The Pfs came from Leslie's Pool supplies in Pasadena. 100lbs for $23. I used the bowl and plate trick for filling the tank. No pre rinsing or washing of sand . Documented the process with slide show , almost no clouding of the water at all. Final pic of...

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...

Has anyone had experience with this filter? Such a great price.

I'm curious what yall use for filters on your larger tanks. I will be getting a 135g at the end of the week and want to plan out filtration. I'll probably have a heavy bioload with large SA cichlids. For options there's always the commercial FX6 (FX5's are hard to find now). One of those...
