    Eheim 2227

    I have a 2227 wet/dry filter. i have used it off and on on test tanks, mixing water and other odd jobs, and it worked like a charm.

    Too much??

    How much rock is too much? I recently upgraded to a 225 mbuna tank, I added a little over 200# more rock to it. I have 150# of sand and around a total of 300# of rockwork. That sounds like alot, but it only makes a couple of layers, there is alot of open space in the top 2/3rds. I guess the...

    The wife was gone last weekend so i decided it would be a good time to swap out my show tank. Out with the 125 and in with the 225. Since we only have one place in the house that would accomidate a 6' tank, I had to move everything to a temporary setup, move the 125 out , set up 225 then...

    U/g jets - painted?

    I am working on a 225 Cichlid set up, planning on an overstocked African population. Have seen Under gravel jets so thought i would try my own. Instead of powerheads, I am planning to use the return from my canister filters to push the water from the bottom to the top of the 30" tank. After some...

    Sea Storm

    Anyone have any knowledge of these units? I found one article online describing them, but no real pros or cons. This one must be one of the older ones, completely sealed, cant change the media. The odd thing is that it has been inactive for nearly 3 years and the media is still wet and not a...

    180 with cracked bottom

    I have aquired a 180 All Glass with a big crack in the bottom. Is it worth fooling with? If so, is there any advice on how to remove the bottom frame without destroying it. Any advice will be helpful. I am guessing that it is plate glass and not tempered, Right? I have cut out old silicone...

    I recently aquired a used HOT 250 Magnum with a tank and was kinda interested in a bio wheel for it, after a light search i found that it is hard to find just the b/w attachment, they want to sell the KIT. The pro 30 is what comes with the 250, will it run the dual wheel pro 60?
