The crusty stuff is buildup around the Tetratec, on the back of the light and the back of the tank. Stewie sent me some pictures and he seems to have the same thing. I was just wondering if there is any quick and easy way to clean it up. Well, one thing I did forget to mention. I have a...

I won't have a problem with current because it is a long tank. Isn't real deap back-to-front but it is 6 feet long. The fluval is at one end and the Tetratec is at the other end. I will have to add a heater when I add the other filter. I still haven't really had my questions answered. 1...

The switch is because I'm getting rid of a Tetratec 500. My tank is 84 gallons and I have mostly cichlids. I also have a fluval 404.

I have cichlids (sp?) and a couple of other fish.

Can someone tell me if it is worth it to get a wet/dry filter? Eheim makes one and I'm thinking about getting one but I would like to know if it is worth it or not.

SerLunchBox, now you have me leaning back towards an Eheim that quick. :D OK, with the 404 what would be better to add as far as water quality, NEVER spilling over and ease of changing/cleaning. Eheim or Aquaclear 500 Also, what is the real benefit of wet/dry? Eheim has canister with and...

So are you telling me that there is no way water could overflow? I mean, even if someone didn't clean the thing? Of course I'm going to clean it but I dont want have the possibility of anything happening. Also, how far back and above the tank does it stick out? I have a wood hood that I had...

I'm not 100% sure that it is leaking do to a crack or something similar. In the past the filter has overflowed from the filters getting clogged quickly. Because of this I'm considering getting rid of filters that can overflow all together. Can anyone comment or make suggestions based on this...

From what I have seen and been told about Oscars they aren't mean fish. However, they do like to eat and will eat anything that can fit in their mouth. After they eat they seem to just sit there. I think different fish have different personalities. I had a Green Terror that was a terror. I...

Stewie, thanks for your reply. I would really like to get away from any filter that is open as far as being able to get backed up and spilling over. Interesting, I was told I need more than just the 404 for adequate filtration.

I currently have an 84 gallon (I know it isn't a normal size) tank with a Fluval 404 and a Tetratec PF500 with heater. I have had a problem recently with the Tetratec. It has got my floor wet about 3 times and I've tried different things. I changed the amount and type of food I feed the fish...
