Are there stores and sell canister filter inflows and returns so that I can have better ones? The return is really cheap and not very adjustable and the inflow is the reason I'm having air issues.

Thanks. Next time I'm at the hardware store I'll get a better hose clamp. I need to go there anywhere because I want to build my own spraybar

This is the inflow. I read a forum somewhere else that said to cut the graduated portion of the pipe so that it's closer to the tubing diameter and doesn't leave room for air. I did that and it helped some but there's still a little air gap. Here's the new pic

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Let me post some pictures.

That's super disappointing to hear. I obviously didn't do enough research before purchasing and it wasn't cheap so now I'm stuck with it. I guess I'll make it work. I figured there were a few tried and true methods to get air bubbles out of canister filters you all might know.

It's been setup for four days now. The intake and exhaust are both under water so I don't see how air is getting in. I figured it would eventually stop. I'm using the media it came with which is some sponges, plastic bioballs, ceramic rings, and a little bit of filter floss.

I'm running a Magniflow 220 on my 55G axolotl tank and it keep pushing out air bubbles and making bubble noises. Is there a simple way to clear the air bubbles out of it? I already had a disaster during the setup because I didn't put the gasket in. I was priming the heck out of it and water...

Added some Amazon swords and got adult brine shrimp for them which all the fish loved.

Came back after being gone three days and did a sixty percent water change and decided to move some plants and see if the driftwood is waterlogged yet which it isn't.

I've been trying to keep the water as clean as possible after watching lots of discus care videos and my nitrates never go far above 10ppm. My only concern is that the plants need that nitrogen. I know discus really appreciate frequent water changes but what level of nitrate would you all...

My levels are all great with nitrates never going over 5-10ppm. I'm not going to try and mess with pH. This tank is well established though with pre-cycled substrate, filter, and plants.

I decided to get 3 discus to be my showpiece fish for this tank. One of them died 5 minutes after being in the tank. I did drip acclimate and my water quality is good so I don't know what happened :( Can someone tell me how much flow is too much? Which direction should I focus it? The FX6 has 2...

I got more neon tetras (over 30 now) and twenty white cloud minnows. I got 2 corydoras, 2 algae eaters, and 2 bristle nose plecos. Many of the rooted plants aren't doing well so I think I'll be pulling them all out. I purchased a fluval 3.0 to replace the lights I had. If anyone wants to buy the...

Any recommendations on stocking this tank? I've got some plants he gave me but I want much much more. I didn't realize scaping and planting would be so hard since the tank is so deep.

I cleaned out the filter with aquarium water, ordered more ceramic filter media and some fritz bacteria and fritz dechlorinator. I also spent 2 hours rinsing all the substrate and put it into the tank. It would have been better to buy some but it's very expensive. He gave me what looks like...

So I should clean out and replace the filter media, use new substrate, and sand/seal the inside of the canopy. What sealent do you recommend for something that close to the water? Any recommendations on a good light bar that would either attach to the bottom of the canopy or rest on the top of...

Today I bought a 120G tank with stand and canopy. The person who previously owned it just couldn't keep up due to medical issues. He also provided 2x ToPlanet LED Aquarium lights that look quite nice but need to hang from the ceiling, which I cannot and really don't want to do. I would prefer to...

Here's some update pictures my dad sent me. The pond is well established now with 3 koi and 4 goldfish and we added more plants.

Hey guys I finally finished moving in to my new home in VA and I'm ready to finally get back into the hobby. I spent lots of money on new furniture and stuff for the kids so my budget is really tight when it comes to my little project. Is there anyone in the Northern Virginia / DMV area that is...

Yes. There are trees overhead that shade different parts of it at different at different time of the day. There is also a few different hiding spots for its inhabitants to include a pvc pipe at the bottom surrounded by rocks.
