i want to change my money pit saltwater tank to a freshwater tank. My question is, can i take my heater and filter that was used in my saltwater tank, and use it as a freshwater filter and heater, after i clean it out. The filter is just a plain aquaclear 150 and the heater is some heater, nothing special.


thanks
 
Wash em off and I dont see why not
 
though if you have any marine equipment I am looking for some :dog: :bday:
 
Give it a good clean. Be sure to eliminate any residue that may have stuck to the silicone that hold the glass.

About the filter, you should discard all the media and buy a new one. After that, remeber to cycle your tank again.
 
thanks for the quick reply.

i have an old powerhead for sale! lol.

i really like this tank, just dont have enough money to keep pouring into the tank
 
I mean more in the lines of rock and such

buy a new filter, or new media?
 
new media, filters fine media isnt :duh:
 
Sorry for lack of explanation. Change the media. If the filter still runs, you can reuse it.
 
all a filter is, is a water pump pusing water through your filter
