I take it you went with the Eheim Classic Series? Good choice. Mine has been running trouble free for six months I have to look and see if its still on its so quiet plus the flow never seems to decrease.
:evil_lol: If I had a stand for my 29, I would fire it up with my HOB that I'm not sure what to do with now. I'm not sure if I could pick it up without help anyway.
:idea: just as a point of fact, when your 'can' does arrive & you set it up, run both filters together for at least 2/3 wks before you drop the HOB. You want to fully establish BB in your new filter before you have it go solo. "T"
The only place I could probably put it is in my son's room right now, and he wants a lizard. I think the dresser could take it. Maybe I could start him a shrimp tank. All I'd need is gravel. *evil laugh*
