Junaid187, just go to the hardware store and get some pipes that will if the outlets/inlets for the filter.
Canister filters do not require much maintenance, every 2 to 4 months is fine if you are not overstocked. You also do not need to replace the media. Why would you replace it?
right, start the filter up, and then get on the pipe where the water is pushed out. Put it round your lips and suck, in other words siphoning. if your not good, take a mouth full, and it should start to work like a treat. i have had to do this many a time.
3-4 weeks is too much, maybe 4-5 mounths, its important too keep the good bakteriaculture in the filter alive, if you change filtermedia too often it will only result in bad water quality.
prices are rediculous who would pay 100 pound for a filter
thats not the only thing you had to do many times:0
i had the same problem. try to getting another stand for the external filter. set it beside the tank. i still have trouble starting it up. my tank is a truvu and it has a small opening which it’s hard to get it running. hope you find a way !
Anybody with a tank big enough to need one.
THE SILVER PUMP….. you pump it like 20-40 times.
Fluval are the low class leaky filters.
I own a fluval 305 and I plan on getting a eheim pro next week.
i hate my fluval 404. eheim and filstar ftw
I need one, i have a 55 gallon tank with a bad filter 8(
i have a fluval 305 and i hate it…it flooded my livingroom because the plastic warped and i only had it for a month…i bought another one and the motor burned up …no reason for it at all…never buy one you are waisting your money
I think im doing pretty good with my new fish tank setup. I have a 10 gallon with a ceramic log, colored rocks, a filter, and 1 african cichlid.
dude im new wid all this..i just wanna know that is there a difference between a freshwater filter and a salt water filters??
the filter no but for salt water there is more then a just a filter!!
the 405 rules the 305 sucks ass!!spend the extra 30 or 40 bucks.
i wish you had shown how the tubes hooked up and where they go in the tank.
they cost 100 to 300+rite?
the 405 is the best canister filter out there beside the fx5 in my opinion
awful filter !! renas r the best!!
there isnt really much difference between fressh filters and salt filters
First he said “reusable media” then he said REPLACE IT every 3-4 weeks. Make up you mind! Reuse or replace?
which is better eheim or rena and can you use with a reef tank?
I’ve got the RENA XP3 had it for about 5 years now and also got a FLUVAL 405 had that for about 2 years which as just died on me,, i think i’ll get another rena don’t you think…
I got the 404 myself .. thinking of up grading my filter system… What should I get ? N
