So, I really wanted to upgrade my filter. I got a fluval aquaclear 70 and love it. I just now had time to set it up today. We had to move the tank out from the wall a few inches so we could put it behind the tank. But now I have a problem... My tank is not stable. It's on carpet. When it was closer to the wall with the old filter we had it screwed in to the wall by the stand with some long screws. Now it's too far away to screw it to the wall. It sways slightly if you push it with medium force. So I'm concerned it may fall over.... Ideas? Help? Lol. My dad said he would try to think of something... He's good at that stuff.
Also, I set up the filter but I had a question about the order of the filter media. The directions say to set it up as mechanical, chemical, and then biological. But I've heard from people that it's supposed to be mechanical, biological, and then chemical... I tried to do it that way and the carbon would float up and affected the flow of the filter. So I had to switch it back to how the directions said to do it. Any ideas?
Thanks guys.
