filter

Hey guys, I have a Marineland 200 and 350 filter my 75g tank. The 350 works perfectly, but the 200 is leaking water onto the top of the lid. As a temporary solution I sloped the lid so the water flows back into the tank. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or what would you do in this situation?

Hi guys i was wondering what can i use like biological filter media , for my second HOB filter because it has some free space . ONLY DIY THINGS! P.S = Don't say lava rock

So I have the discontinued penguin biowheel 125 on my 29 gallon aquarium. When I used aquadvisor to put in stocking ideas it kept telling me I was 60-70%stocked but that my aquarium filtration was at 80-90 %. I can’t find information on the penguin 125 anywhere. I was given the entire set up as...

Hello! I have 2 goldfish in a 30 gallon (I know, too small) tank. They are usually in the outdoors for 6-7 months in a semi-large pond. We have a small, 10 gallon tetra whisper running as the only filtration (besides plants). It was the only filter we had. Surprising, they haven't died yet. But...

Hello, I just bought a new Cascade 1200 Elite canister filter for my turtle tank. I can't get either outtake or intake tubes to work. I've tried multiple different ways but as of right now I filled the canister with water and I'm not sure if the intake won't work because it's already full enough...

Hello! I'm rather new to full tank setups and thought a site like this would help me learn a lot. That being said can I get some opinions on how I want my first real tank to be set up? It's gonna be kinda long I'm sorry So I have a zebra danio glofish (mtn dew) in a 1.5 gallon right now so that...

If you have an overstocked aquarium would adding extra filtration compensate for overstocking? As long as the fish don't seem stressed from overstocking? I have fancy goldfish, dojo loaches and cory cats in my tank. According to aqadvisor.com my 75g stocking level is at 135% and recommends 50%...

I won an eBay auction last night for a 3 week old Ehiem 2215 canister filter. I paid $55 for the thing with local pickup and I got a receipt, so I can even claim the warrranty. Overall a pretty sweet deal. I washed all the media out and set it up on my 44 gallon pentagon tank. As I was...

I have a question and I'm guessing it goes here. I just got a 75 gallon tank. 4 feet by18 inches by 18 inches. I also had a new pool pump by Intex. It does 1000 gph. Can I use it?

Hi, I could really use your insight! So we are brand new to this and we know we've made some mistakes. We're learning and the number one thing we've learned is don't trust the advice of the people at Petco :/ We've been set up for about 2 weeks. We let the tank cycle without fish for about 5...

Hello~ I'm new here and fairly new to fish keeping in general and I am concerned about the how my filter is affecting my water quality. I hope you can help me diagnose and solve the issue. To give you a bit of background. I got a 20gal tank last Thanksgiving along with LED lighting, a heater...

Hi, I have a 75 litre tank with a stingray 15 filter (and a small filter that came with the 10 litre b&m tank that we got rid of as soon as we realised how cruel it was (thanks Internet)). So I want to know how I can use this to set up an air pump and get some bubbles for oxygenation and...

Hey, I'm new to the aquarium world and have grown extremely interested in these things recently. I have a 40-G tank and after a decent amount of research I plan to have it become a Live plant, freshwater aquarium. As a college student, I prefer plants/animals/environments that I can spend less...

Ok, 55 gallon freshwater tank with a Fluval 305 Canister Filter on it. In the filter I only use ceramic noodles for bioloigical filtration and purigen. I have 4 bags of Purigen. I have 2 in the filter and 2 on standby. The Purigen has been regenerated 3 times. So, here's the odd issue... I...

I got a new tank recently and it came with a sump which I have pretty much no clue about. It seems to be two parts an upright part that connects to the overflow that has two chambers and a drip plate at the bottom then another box that sits like most of the ones I've seen with two chambers so I...

Hello everyone, so back in December of 2014 I was gifted my first fish, a beautiful blue betta. Immediately I went out and purchased Petco's Arc 6.25g fish tank and fell in love with it's setup. Unfortunately, it's time to change the filter catridge as they are no longer doing their job (as...

I have a 60Gallon tank and the tank stand has about 13" in height for space. I have been looking at the Cascade 700 and the National Geographic CF70. Has anyone used both of these. They're the same price but can't find any real reviews on the CF70... What are your thoughts?

Ok so I have searched high and low, and cannot for the life of me find lily pipes with the filter inflow longer than 13''. My tank is 22 inches tall, I need my inflow to reach 16-18'' Does no one make a long inflow, surely there are people with deeper tanks who use glass pipes. A point in the...
