Thanks, that at lease saves me $6

Wow guys, thanks for the quick response. The problem with that is, to get it off I might dammage it and then I am stuck without a working filter. At least now it only drips every minute so I can keep a towel under it and change out the towel daily.

Did a search and found out that the o-rings cost $4, then they want $10 shipping. I can get these at the hardware store for much cheaper. Can anyone tell me what size o-ring I need before I damage mine to check the size.

Thanks guys, don't have a pic, yes I have closed the top of the tank. The tigers have pretty much left him alone this evening. My rainbow is 7 years old, next to the pleco who is also 7 he is the hardiest fish in the tank.

I have reciently purchased a rope fish for my 125 gal, actully had him for about 10 days now. When I first put him in he went and hid in a black filter tube that had fallen off the filter. He was there while I cleaned the tank and then I put it back. Lately he stays at the top in the corner...

I can't believe I am happy to say that the leak my tank has is from the filter. I thought it was comming from the tank itself. Anyhow, it is leaking from the handle of the biowheel spraybar. Has anyone experienced a leak from this point. What is the cure? Do I just need to replace o-rings...

Thanks for all your help, I finally got some pool filter sand at my local pool supply place that looks white. The stuff at HD was not good at all.

I was wondering if flagstone from the local stone store would be bad for my fish. It is light gray on one side and dark gray on the other, the guy called it silver stone or something like that.

Where are people getting the white sand? Is there another type of sand that is white that is just as good?

I have clown loaches, pictus cats, bala sharks, leporanious facitus, pleco, tiger barb, headstand, rainbow shark.
