Juwel Korall 60

[Davies97]

I have a Juwel Korall 60 Tropical Fish Tank and it is a nice size for me as a beginner but when i first got it i set it up with the Filter, Heater and Light. The water was Clear for the first 2 days. Then the Water turned Cloudy which i later found out was just New Tank Syndrome. Then i bought some Fish to Cycle the tank and the filter correctly poisitioned wasn't moving the waters surface so oxygen wasn't getting in to the water so i lost 1 Fish from this Problem. So then I tilted the Filter upward to the surface now it's fine I will now have to purchase a Air Pump then poistion Filter correctly again.
Have you had trouble with this tank?

What kind of filter do you have? Is it submerged or something? And a bubble wall would be a good idea they look nice and you can get the pump and air stone at Walmart for like 12 dollars it's not to bad

The Filter is a Juwel BioFlow 280 and I'm British so i carnt gi to Walmart

 

[Bates1990]

Lol I'm sorry I'm not sure how much it is over there but I'm sure it's not that bad at your lfs

 

[Bates1990]

Ya thats a crazy filter right there I like hanging filters my selfs cause the water falls back into the tank but If your looking for a cheep way out just get an air pump and air stone

 

[Davies97]

Yeah that is what I was thinking
I could get Air Pump with Tubing, Air Stone and Valve for £5 So not Bad

 

[Bates1990]

Get a water return piece it keeps water from going back into the pump if your power goes out

 

[Davies97]

Thats what the Valve I mentioned is a 'Return Valve'

 

[Bates1990]

Oh ok sounds like you got it covered good luck
