My fish tank has never been crystal clear (except for when it had about 1 fish in it) and I am looking for a way to make it at least presentable. Another fish keeper I asked told my he recommends 2 Odyssea CFS500s and after doing a little bit of searching around, I stumbled upon the Odyssea...

I was wondering if I needed an RO filter for my discus, and if I do, what is a good one and how much does it cost? Also, to the best of my knowledge, RO water is water that's been passed through a membrane that removes every single thing in the water like salt ions. Is this correct and can...

My shrimps been hanging onto the thermostat for almost a week. Not sure why, there is closer areas to the output but if hes happy then I am :) I love bamboo shrimp and they are halarious to watch. Video! http://youtu.be/7cn2p2HY7jM NOTE: Not sure if I am allowed to just post something like...

I have a 20L with an aquafin 40 and I just picked up a 10 gallon that came with an aquafin 20 filter. From what I can find the best way to get my bacteria going would be to run the new filter cartridge in my old tank behind it's filter before I put it into the new tank, does this make sense...

I am in need of the full manual for my filter (2026). I cant find it anywhere on the web so just wondering if you guys have one lying around and can email it to me? Also, how often/long do I clean the canister, change the media? And how do I turn it off or unplug without getting the carpet wet...

I currently have a Marina S20 Power Filter. It works great, very quiet, keep the water clear and everything. But I feel like I should upgrade to a Fluval C3 Power Filter. Marina is much slim and compact design but I don't know if it's enough to do the 3 stages filter to keep my fish happy...

Can i raise the water level so it can reduce or do fish need 1 inch space? Its the outflow can i do anything else?

Oh dear me, it's that humdedum again with her questions. ;) I just bought a secondhand aquarium and the person threw in a bunch of old airstones, filters and aquarium light reflectors (the light housing that you place on top of the actual hood). I have yet to test how they run, so I'll edit this...

So, I have bought several 30 gallon Aquaclear filters in the past and many times after cleaning the motor, they stop working. I also have another filter that started to screech one day. So, I cleaned the motor. But, it's still screeches. How can I fix these problems? How I clean it.... -every...

Good news! *keeps fingers crossed that she's not jinxing herself* I've been trying to cycle my 20 gallon tank since early September, and as of 11/20 (two Saturdays ago), my ammonia and nitrites have finally dropped to 0 ppm. Did a 25% water change that same day and have been testing water every...

I know you guys all hate and disagree with fish per gallon ratios, but how do the total inches differ from FOWLR to reef? I just had a guy in a pet store tell me it goes from 5 gallon per inch to twenty, respectively. Is this true? And to make you all happier, assume the tank has good...

Hey guys! I just came back from the local fair with two goldfish in hand, and was inspired to make them last. Quick trip out to petco, and I'm the proud owner of a 10 gallon tank, a few plastic plants, some gravel, a bunch of flake food and a cheap power filter (profin 10). But I do have a...

So I need a water pump. Today at a thrift store, I found a 30-60gal filter (picture here) I was wondering if I could take off the bottom plating and take out the pump in there. I'm not sure if its a normal pump, like the one you would use to replace a water fountain, or if its an underwater...

Hi all, I'm setting up a 1.5 gallon tank and have a couple questions. I've kept a goldfish in this tank before and used the under the gravel filtration system that came with the tank, but the old filtration stuff was sort of gross and I felt needed to be thrown out. I bought an in-tank filter...

I bought my first fish yesterday from a local store along with a 3 gallon tank kit with a filter. I ran the filter all day yesterday but this morning he did not seem very happy and was staying in one corner of the tank so I decided to turn of the filter for a couple of hours. As soon as i turned...

I hope I AM posting this in the right place...It is my first active day here...I would like to get a new aquarium of 30-40 gallons. I'd also like to be able to have enough light to grow more plants and have C02 injection. I did all my learning with low light hoods and hob filters. I don't like...

Hello, I am trying to research on filter medias and only found few information regarding it. Most of the documents I found are about filters itself, not the filter media. As you know, there are three main types of filtration. They are mechanical, chemical and biological. And for the filters...

I came home today and the rest of my fish were dead I want to know for sure that it was the effects of the cycle that killed my 4 zebra danios, or if it was disease, or dodgy pet shop fish, or my filter, or my short attempt at fish food fishless cycling that killed them. Should I start over...

This may be a dumb question, but I just bought an RO unit, Coralife Pure FLo II 50 gpd and there are two output lines, a blue (pure water) and a red (waste water). First, no instructions, etc. came with the unit, but when I run it, there is no shut-off valve on the red (waste water) line so it...
