filter

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...

Anybody have any pool filter sand laying around. I only need about 10 pounds or so Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

So I was doing a water change today and my month old bio wheel filter just stopped working after I added the water. Just randomly stopped. I took it apart and cleaned out the impeller, multiple times and it won't start. I'm pretty pissed right now. Any help would be appreciated

OK, so I intercepted a friend's old aquarium hobby stash a day before he planned to take it to the dump (was going to throw all of it away). Quite the score... 30g long with stand 55 with stand (mediocre condition, but holds water) 4 powerheads (two 660s and two 1140s) Undergravel filters...

Has anyone used de filters in fish keeping or aquaponics?

How hard is it to clean 200 micron filter sock? Or should i just keep buying new ones?

If anyone has an eheim pro II and has a leaking primer o-ring. You know that this o-ring is not available. I have found a alternative that works perfect. Go to the auto part store auto-zone or advanced and get a oil filter housing o-ring set the seal we need is in there. Works perfectly. Sent...

Okay guys and gals I need some professional advice. My wife agreed to get me fish stuff for christmas!!!!! This is a big deal in my house. Anyway I need some opinions on the best canister filter combos. I have an fx5 but imo it doesnt matter the filter its the media that matters. So what's...

So I'm in the market for a new filter I currently run a magnum 350 canister (total garbage) a hot magnum (fairly crappy) and an AC110. The tank is 125 gallons and heavily stocked with africans. I am a firm believer in over filtering and using atleast two different filters. This being said I...

At least, I think I want to borrow one. My husband's step-father recently acquired a 55 gallon tank. It came fully equipped with AquaSoil as a substrate. We set it up but the water hasn't cleared much at all. We had to add the fish for lack of anywhere else to put them, and they don't...

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?

uuggggghhhhhh... my 350 b just recently started making this annoying noise..i have checked online about this, and tried to just leave it alone.. it did stop..now it just came back again.. and this time it did not stop the whole day.. its now sitting unplugged.. is there a way to fix this? or is...

OK so I have a 75 gallon African cichlid tank that I have been fighting with for months to get clear, it has been cloudy since day 1, my water tests fine, all my fish are fine and have never lost a fish in this tank, I'm running to whisper 60s and recently bought a marineland magnum 350 that I...

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 have "made over" two of my tanks so far putting this PFS in as my substrate for my Africans and it has made a HUGE difference. Lots of digging and displayed "spitting" ( they will gather a mouthful and then swim upwards and spit the sand producing a little cloud that falls back to the bottom...

I am currently in the process of setting up a 45 gallon tank. I plan to have a group of subadult angel fish. I currenntly have a Fluval U4 filter, but I feel that the current may be too strong for the angel fish once i have them in there, plus the flake food gets caught in the filter and...

I am moving from a HOB to a canister, and I currently have both running. I figure it's a good way to populate the canister with nitrating bacteria. But how long should I run both for before removing the old one? I'm trying to prevent a mini-cycle. 30g / 16 fish (Demasoni +1 pleco)

Hello All - I have a 10g tank with bushy nose fry in it running with a AQ30. Is this enough power?

So ...... I am thinking about building an automatic drip water change system for my 265G. So started looking around for options. I am on tap water, so need to treat the water. I have been thinking about getting an RO system for the tank and I think this would be a good opportunity to get...
