    Heater questions

    one quick question. do you think this thermostat would work with the hydor mini? seeing as the mini doesnt have a built in thermostat. or does this only work with the hydor heater cables?(http://www.amazon.com/Hydor-HYDROKABLE-Heater-14-Feet-18-Gallon/dp/B0006JLPGI/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_2) <the...

    Heater questions

    Well I went on amazon.com and found a few hydor mini's that seem promising. they also have the zoomed which does have better reviews than petsmart had for it. I'll still probably go for the hydor mini. Just not sure if I want the 7.5w(2-5gal) or the 15w(5-10gal). I would guess the 15w even...

    Heater questions

    im guessing your talking about the zoomed betta heater. ive seen those but i dont really have the room for that. :/ (i have a tube in the center of the aquarium for the air line for the ugf) and if it would fit ive read too many negative reviews to wanna risk it.

    Heater questions

    Alright I will go with the Aqueon Pro for my 10 gallon. Which heater do you think would be best for my acrylic 3 gallon? It just has one betta but winter is coming up and I dont want him to get too cold. And it needs to be a relatively small heater. So I'll probably go with a tetra but I dont...

    Anyone have any opinions on the two heaters for my 10 gallon? The Hydor THEO and Aqueon Pro? It would really be appreciated if I could have some feedback about those two.

    Is this normal for a hob filter?

    Thank you all :) Will be ordering the new filter media soon. One quick question, as I stated I'm wanting to get a pre-filter for the intake (I plan on getting some shrimp) would this be alright or is there a better option?: Fluval Edge Pre-Filter Sponge - Filter Media - Fish - PetSmart And will...

    Heater questions

    Alright I'll try to not make this too long but I had a few questions about which heaters would be best to get. I have two aquariums that I'm wanting to get them for. One glass 10 gallon and one acrylic 3 gallon. I've kinda narrowed it down to two options for my 10 gallon: Hydor THEO Submersible...

    Is this normal for a hob filter?

    Is this normal for a hob filter?

    tge? and also should i replace the white filter? nothing is wrong with it and it allows the water to flow through but would i need a filter that would filter out finer particles? (i will also be getting a pre-filter to put over the intake because i plan on getting some cherry shrimp)

    Is this normal for a hob filter?

    So this product would be a good replacement? AquaClear BioMax Filter Insert - Filter Media - Fish - PetSmart Are they in a bag so their not loose? For now I'll try to cut an "X" and take out the carbon and see if that helps any. But probably wont start cycling until I get the new filter media...

    Is this normal for a hob filter?

    hmm. so i could probably just replace the carbon filter and it should be fine? do you think i should try to rinse it out under some water and maybe that will move some carbon around? (i haven't started cycling yet so there's no worry about losing any beneficial bacteria) if i should just replace...

    Is this normal for a hob filter?

    its an aqua-tech 5-15 filter. still dont have any fish so its a clean filter. but i did notice once i lift the blue carbon filter up the water doesnt overflow. so maby its not letting the water flow through the blue filter? like its too think or something. one day ill probably replace the filter...
