    Fluval leaking help

    I started to hear some nice from my fluval 306 and then found some leaking. I checked the main seal and it looked fine. It seems I am leaking in two places which is strange to happen at the same time. Any suggestions or buy a new one. It's about a year old Thanks

    Eheim vac pro filter bag?

    Does anyone have a recommendation on adding a smaller micron filter bag to the eheim vac? It seems like almost everything I vacuum just filters through the plastic filter it comes with. I tried to use filter floss but it becomes messy to clean. Any suggestions with links please?

    UV inline setup help

    I plan on setting up an inline UV sterilizer, the 55w sun sun. I have a sun sun 404 (among other filters) on a 125g tank. My plan was to just connect the uv sterilizer inline after the filter. Would that work? Would I need another inline pump? And if so, can you add another pump without...
