... that way that I thought I would want it to be. So then I started to fill it up with water and I put the filter on with the cartridges in and everything. What I didn't know was that I was going...
I once had a power filter that worked through the under gravel filter. It was part of a used aquarium setup. When it wore out, I replaced it with a bubble operated lift tube, and everything worked fin...
...obably slowed the process down, which was even worse since I have fish in there. Doh! Mine only has one filter consisting of a blue fiberous layer attached to a black slotted disk with activated car...
I will check into the pool filter sand, but I may go with the gravel because I have been giving serious consideration to putting in an undergravel filter. I'm still going to use the power filter...
...sees. Up to 20-30 per day. I siphon leftover food and do about 15% water change daily and have a sponge filter in a 10 gallon tank. Any Ideas?...
Yes. Betta fry need clean water. Many people use a sponge filter designed for a fry tank and operated at a low flow rate. If you can't find a sponge filter at a local fish store, you can always s...
It would not be so bad if it weren't for the fact that it's clogging up the intake on the filter and actually making it's way down into the external filter too! Darned stuff!
...Just give it a little squeeze and shake every day to release the bacteria. This tank doesn't have a filter right?
If you get that 10G, you can move the mom right away along with the gravel. If...

... perfect ha.
The 30 gallon was used...a friend gave it to me so I used his old gravel and also let the filter run for a day with his old filter in it, then switched to new gravel and a new filter h...
Well, the reason why I asked if I should replace the filter media was because, I am going to siphon out all the water and start to cycle again using danios. And something had to have killed my benefic...
The pleco is probably the reason for the mess. They like to root around in the substrate. If your filter is broken and you want a cheap substitute, try an under gravel filter. They're old technol...
...as well so its about an inch and a half thick plus another inch or so with that lip. I could get another filter that hangs over the side of the tank if i cut part of the lip off but i'm afraid i...
Congratulations on the new aquarium. If you still want to run an under gravel or sponge filter in the five gallon tank, you can slow the flow of bubbles by installing a bleed valve (an air valve to no...
that sounds like an under gravel filter. my tank came with one too, and i was told not to use it, and that they can cause a lot of problems and only experts use them. i ended up going to walmart and g...

... to. My 20 gallon has been empty for about a month and a half.
Also to reduce the flow rate of a HOB filter, could you add cotton balls to the filter with the filter media?...
what kind of substrate are you useing? is it just rocks or a mix? what is used in the canister filter? Was the canister filter used or new? If all else fails u can always change out the water.
...d one of their sale items is an ammonia remover that fits on the output end of an under gravel or similar filter. Has anybody ever used one of those things? They're inexpensive, and if they work,...
...mend 50% water changes every day to get them to 0. I am thinking the tetracycline killed your biological filter, so you are probably having a mini-cycle. If you have to treat again, I would recommen...
just a quick newbie question, if i have the aqueon 55 gallon tank set up (aqueon power filter) do i still need a protien skimmer or does this filter system do the job?

Do you mean add another filter? How will this help? I do run an HOB filter on the tank they are in and do frequent water changes. Do you think there should be more water flow? I have a submersible pow...
...t the plastic canvas from Walmart, you can also cut a little piece that will wrap around the front of the filter flow. I just tied mine around with fishing line, and it works GREAT! Forewarning thou...

... sick fish, you should set up a hospital tank. By way of planning ahead, some of us like to keep a sponge filter operating in an established aquarium. You can then put the sponge filter in a small hos...
Nope. That would not be a good idea. I am glad you asked first. Changing the filter will cause you to lose all your good bacteria. This will likely send your tank into cycling mode again. If your filt...
