It's simple looking, looks soothing and beautiful. Ideal. The Talmud says: Who is the wealthy person? He who is happy with what he has.

And I've got a Eheim Pro 2 2028 and you know what? It hums too.

It depends on stocking levels, but i"d change a part once or twice a year. Do it once a year. If you go with plastic media, you never need to change it-- just rinse.

Well, you're all right: I actually mean short- lived (somewhat annual at that) and long-lived. I also had a platy for more than 2 years, and an odd glowlite for several years. But these are exceptions and most Bettas won't last TOO long. On the other hand there are species which keep opn...

Hi. Much the same as with ornamental plants, there are short-lived fishes and long-lived species. It depends on the type, adaptability and breeding. I hold, for example, that bettas and live-bearers are naturally short-lived (18 months) and things are made worse by bad in- breeding. Same goes...

Thanks!

Right, except that it makes a slight humming maybe because of this--and I thought that this might not be "healthy." By the way, how do I lubricate that hidden primer gasket? You can't do it by Q-tip or anything else. I've tried and so have others. What I do is this: I buy a spray can of...

thanks-- but I'm talking about the black o ring BELOW the head,--not at the primer spot-- and that is available in the stores here, but for a lot of money and I'm not sure that the rubber gasket is the problem...

I don't understand how I can open one valve at a time; both the intake and out-take open and close consecutively, by lifting or dropping the red piece between them. This being the case, what do you mean: "open the valve draining the water from THAT tube"? (Both valves open together!) In...

Iv'e an Eheim pro 2 2026 and it's not noisy but it's not dead silent.

I use whatever claims to be good agains chloromines-- though I don't know HOW I could recomend one thing over another. The fact is, even WITHOUT using any thing, I wouldn't see any obvious ill-effect. I don't know how to measure a products effectiveness in this matter. Indeed, for a while I...

Rainbow fishes-- they're so hardy, hard water tolerant, playful, colorful and flash color on their foreheads. Long-lived. Peaceful, life-loving, nice sizes. I'm talking about any species in the family Melantaenia!!!

Hi Mr. Fishmaven-- I tried it again, just tonight and I disasembled the gasket, but to no avail: when I pump the primer, water leaks out but at only one side... (otherwise, as mentioned above, fine). It almost seems like it's a problem with the clips and not the gasket, because I probably...

Wow...............

Thanks! I'll check it Tuesday. Anyway, I hear that vaseline will dry out the rubber, so I use silicone spray that I found in a sports store (food-grade). I never actually took the gasket out, only lubricate on the side that faces me. Do you regularly take the rubber gasket out as you...

no, mine was never ABSOLUTELY quiet. It's nice that your's is though.

Wow. I've an Eheim Pro 2, and it's quiet but not 1200- shekels- worth-of- quiet. [Israeli currency]. I mean, it hums (quietly)(But not absolutely quiet).

All this talk about Eheims and Filstars being so so silent... are you guys talking about them when consealed in a cabinet behind closed doors, or outside any cabinet? Of course they would be much quieter in a cabinet.

Hi-- My Eheim Pro 2 leaks at the side of the head when I prime it-- otherwise, it's okay. My question is: must the entire filter be turned in to be services, or can I fix it myself? Can I put the rubber piece in at home? Any experience? By the way, I sort of regret I bought this filter...

Rainbows should be kept in schools, they are active and I love them.
