Im really excited to get it setup, I think it will bring my filtration to a new level. Right now I only have two aquaclears set up and they are really not doing the job

Filter Media for my loaches

I am currently looking into getting a canister filter (350 gph) and was wondering if anyone has any tips for media combos to put in it. It will be the only source of chemical filration but I will have some sponge filters hooked up in my tank. I have a couple small plants in my tank and plan to add s...

Thanks for that... You are right about the clowns, I plan to hand them over to a friend with a 110 gallon when they get to big. However, I had no idea about the ID shark, thanks for that, I will have to look into a suitable home for it when it gets to big. In your opinion will the flow severly limit...

Thanks for the reply Right now I have four 4 inch clowns, an ID shark, a large bottom feeder, and 4 keyholes (not sure if that is the correct spelling). I think we might have actually spoke regarding my problem with ich. After losing two clowns I am determined not to let it happen again so I want to...

Is a Filstar XP3 (350 gph) overkill for a 55 gal.

Just wondering if anybody can give me some insight into my thought that this filter would create to much water movement in my tank. Im a believer in the thinking that there is no such thing as to much filtration, but is it possible to have to much water moving in the tank. In addition, I am think of...

Thanks

Thanks for the advice

So if I understand correctly, even though there might not be any physical signs of ich it can still be infecting and hurting my fish. My big loach looks as if it is having troubles but I cant seem to see any white on it. Is it probably infected?

In the last three months I have bought nine clown loaches, five between 1 - 2 inches and four at approx. 4 inches. However, three of the s...
