I think I'm jinxed when it comes to filters... my Fluval started off quiet, but has progressively gotten louder! Now it is in a wooden cabinet that sits on tile, so I understand a little sound, but even with a piece of carpet under it is louder than I have heard about and seen in videos. It also...

Thank you for the kind words about my dog by the way. On Thursday she had 4 seizures that left her unable to use her hind legs. She was a lab and going on 15, had bad arthritis and muscle atrophy, it just wouldn't be fair to leave her not even able to stand or walk. The house feels pretty empty...

Do you find it to be a quiet filter? My tank is in the basement by my TV, computer and bed - it's a large room, but I can this new aquaclear at the top of the stairs so I'll lose my mind if I spend another $150 to upgrade to one and have it be noisy. It would sit in the cabinet under my...

I did check the impeller and there was no damage to it, everything was in good condition - no changes since I had cleaned it a few months ago. I actually had to put my dog down yesterday, so I was beyond trying to deal with the warranty etc. and just bought a new filter (the same one). It went...

Hello, I have a Marineland 75G Aquarium tank, and currently have an outbreak of "black beard algae" in it, so I got myself a small Top Fin Magnet Cleaner to use on the glass. But after opening it I'm a little scared to use it. The magnet is insanely powerful - ask the tip of my finger that got...

Thank you all! Sorry it took me so long to respond, just finished finals The tank is doing great, just had my water tested at the store when I ran in and it's perfect levels so I'll keep up with the 25% changes, seems to be doing the trick Thanks again!

I understand it is controversial for some people, but I'm doing a fish-in cycle for my 75 gallon tank, I've read up and feel good about it - and did a semi-fish-in cycle with my 10 gallon when I ran into problems once The fish I'm using are from my 10 gallon tank (2 skirt tetras, 5 neon tetras...
