Hey Dino, are they from your 75??
Hey Dino, are they from your 75??
It could be that the water is getting well filtered before it hits the rings. I know your a fan of floss, is the water going through the floss before the rings???Nope, this is from a tank at the FD. I'd say 110 is probably a few months old now that I think about it. Maybe 4 months old they look brand new.
The ones on my 75 are brown and nasty looking lol.

Would you be equally worried if they looked like yours???. My rings are only slightly yellow and they are in my canister for over 10 months now.....
I'd say your grand so. Your just being cautious and rightly so. If my daughter had her way, god only knows what would be added to mine. She once added some probiotic yogurt drink to my goldfish tank because she thought the good bacteria would help them!!!. She was only 4 at the time......Haha nah... I expect my overstocked tank filters to look nasty lol. I swish them around in tank water.
Yeah the floss is getting it first. Guess its doing its job. The tank is overstocked as well at the FD so expected more. It has a 110 and a 70 and its a 46 gallon bow front with about 10 convicts, 1 JD, pleco and a clown loach. Would have had even more fish but I had to yell at the guys, they were always adding fish and not even fish that would survive. But that's a different story.

Not for the fish, needless to say they didn't make it. I only discovered a few ago what happened, she's 12 now!!!. Keep your eye on your little guy...hahaThat's a good one lol
You replaced your sponges? Or re used them? You shouldn't change your sponges. I haven't replaced mine yet!
Oh ok lol. Yeah that's fine.
Also, D -- while we're on the topic of these 110 BioMax rings...here's something I began a thread on and which has bothered me ever since I bought replacement BioMax for this new setup...
YOUR sack of BioMax rings which looks like this:

Is NOT the same as the "replacement" BioMax Hagen supplies when you buy new rings in the store -- HERE is what came in the box of 110 "replacement" BioMax when I bought it:
See if you can zoom in on that image of the replacement media and note the difference in size between the original rings that come with the filters -- like you're running -- and the small "pellets" that come in the replacement boxes (but which are supposedly for the 110 model); I don't understand why Hagen replaced the larger rings with the two small sacks of the smaller BioMax when you buy the media as replacement...
Further -- do you think this will make any filtration difference in my 110?
I've noticed the change also. Doesn't change how it works. One of AC110's on the 75g has the mesh bag like you see in my pic and the second AC110 has 2 little bags with "pellet" like media.
