At least my husband can't complain - he is always up me for the amount of power my tanks use at the moment... While we are at it is there anyway to make 3 filters run off the one plug??
If you mean a power plug, then you can buy adapters or powerboards, that split one outlet into many?
I am running a power board - it's hard for me to describe what I'm after (new to fish keeping) but one filter basically to running a few tanks somehow
If that would work!! - anything to cut down the amount of power I'm having to run
It would just be an air pump powerful enough, t valves, 4 or 3 way joiners and tubing. But it could have problems when cleaning. Also I don't know the power useage is that great for say a small hob? I always thought the lights chewed up power and went for LEDs. Edit: the problem may be on cleaning / changing media that you disturb/lose your good bacteria out of it.
Thank you so much for your help!! It's nothing that needs to be done immediately so I'll have a think about it all...
I'm learning that there are many many MANY ways you can go with tanks, filtration and everything!!
Heaps and I tend to experiment too much. It should be possible to use better media in a air driven filter these days rather than the old carbon and filter floss. Just thinking out loud on redesigning a better mouse trap but a combination of foam media and ceramic noodles would last a long time.
Ceramic noodles??? Do explain ;p
