I had the same problem a few years back, which resulted in far too many expensive purchases (new tanks, fish, etc) as it introduced me to loaches. Once, and if, you get the snails out you'll want to keep them out. Something I found on line, and discovered worked is the use of alum. The full name is ...

Try slamming a quick e-mail off to AquaClear and see what they say. I had the same issue when I set up my last tank and installed a Jager heater into it. The box said submersible, but the heater had a do not submerse beyond this point line around it. I sent Eheim/Jager an e-mail and they advised tha...

I don't have any, but have been wanting some for a while. I gather they are still on the endangered list in the wild, but after they nearly became extinct they started having some luck with captive breeding.

Another canister may be the way to go. There is some cloudiness in the tank, but I am thinking this may just be part of the tank settling down. It's not too bad, but I'm a boy with a new toy and I want it looking perfect right away, even though I've been doing this long enough to know it wont. The p...

You might be thinking of the Eheim 2206 which is a aquaball. The 2026 is a professional II canister filter and should be good to 90 gallons. I had bought this filter prior to getting the tank, and was going to put it on a 4' 75 gallon tank. The LFS then put to 4' 90 gallon tank on sale as a package,...

Extra FIltration for my Clowns

Too much information can be a dangerous thing, or a confusing one anyway. I have been reading your boards for a long time, and am now looking for your opinions and suggestions for my new tank. I recently moved from a 3' 33 gallon tank to a 4' 90 gallon tank. Fish in the tank are as follows: 3 clown ...
