    Ordered a new canister filter.

    for some reason I never bought into the SunSun filters. Matter of fact I'm pretty much strictly Eheim. They have proven themselves with performance, and durability.

    One of my favorites. They're a must have to any tank. I love watching them eat.

    Fish Dying in North American Native Tank

    Dee, I kind of ruled that out because some of the minnows survived and seem robust, plus he waited another whole week before adding other fish. Unless the tank has not cycled enough to handle the extra fish.

    Fish Dying in North American Native Tank

    Sometimes it is not about the water we have them in. It is about the water that they came from. With that it can make adjusting difficult for some fish.

    Which Canister Filter should I purchase
