I have a marinland canister with dual bio-wheels on my 40. There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to filtration.... I have never had a problem with this setup. Even when I'm a little slack on my water changes, the water I pull is crystal clear and the levels all within normal...

that's nice looking. I did something similar with a submergable flourecent blue moon light. I burried it in the gravel and masked it from the front with plants and logs, so you can't see the bulb. It does look really cool. I put mine on dual timers so that the blue light comes on first for...

I have a 50 gal turtle tank that I currently have a Fluval 404 (340 gph) as the main filter. It does a great job keeping the water clear, even with all the crud the turtles produce. The gravel, however, tends to gunk up pretty fast and I heard that running a reverse flow filter would help...

I have a 40 gal with a brown knife, a few blood fins, cherry barbs and an algae eater (it's name escapes me at the moment, but it's long and yellow/green). Anyway, I feed the knife frozen blood worms (and consequently the other fish too) about every two days, altho I sometimes stretch it out...

yea! thank you very much

Make you a deal. Just buy me a 120 Wave front and I'll give you my 40G and the stand

well i found the canopy I was looking for, just not the light. I don't like the ones that rest flush on the canopy. I want the free standing that attach at the edges of the tank and sit about 4" off it.

yea, I couldn't imagine it being any dirtier then running a canister alone. You're just rerouting the water flow to a different location.

simple solution. Buy another tank. Give into the dark side. It's your destiny

Has anyone heard of running a reverse flow UGF? It still uses a canister filter or someother external pump, but forces water from the bottom of the gravel upward. It's supposed to give really good bio filtration with very low tank current.

I'd still call them and just ask if anyone is interested in taking them. You won't get any money out of the deal, but they will go to someone who will take care of them

I actually have 2 questions. First one is concerning what kind of bulb to get. It's a 40G Tall non planted tank. I have been using just a standard freshwater bulb, but I'm not all that pleased by the light output. I really like how my moon light brings out certain colors. Should I just...

as long as it's within 14 days I think so. I'd just call them and ask. There also might be someone working there who would take them off your hands for you.

bump...anyone?

actually.....yes the cup is rather small, but at my store the water is changed at least twice a day. So it's not nearly as bad as it looks.
