Yes a 20. None of my LFS sell aqua clear products, I'm in Australia and the range is somewhat more limited and I've read canister filters are really good, they are much easier to maintain as well.

I did a quick search on that filter and it is an American brand right? It seems to be hard to find spare parts for and I would have to buy from overseas which can make it a hassle if there are any warranty issues.

Oh it's mainly sold in U.K and Aus. Well many people say the Fluval U3 is good and some say it has a lot of problems. I just took the Fluval apart and tried to see if there was anything stuck or broken but it seems absolutely fine. I cleaned it out and turned it on again and it's still...

For those of you who know about Aqua One products, I was wondering what is the difference between their Aquis and Nautilus canister filters? My fluval U3 has stopped working and I want to get a canister filter for my 20g and I have been looking at the Aqua One products.

Haha not in pieces but won't turn on! I have thankfully calmed down now and considering my options. I bought it from U.S and I have already thrown out the receipt so I don't know my chances of any warranty claim. Oh well mine was fully submerged and working since it's an internal and worked for...

So I cleaned everything and set everything up, filled the tank and added my prime then started the filter. As soon as the filter started it was VERY loud and I couldn't trace the problem. After running for not even 5 minutes it completely stopped working and won't turn back on. I've already...

Thanks :D when I tried my first cycle I took several months to buy everything I need so used all that time to research! haha we have many of those kid of pet store workers here, actually most retail people are like that in electronic stores too! Yeah I've read in a way it's all luck of the...

Thanks! I was originally going to get cardinals but from what I read they wouldn't suit my water and the neons would be better. I've read that cory's will play in a air stone so I can't wait to see that when I get them! I have a very fine gravel, I know Cory's prefer a sand substrate but I had...

I've read many people do that since it's more positives than negatives, protects you too if one fails! I picked all of them since cory's seem to prefer the bottom, neons the middle and Betta the top so they will all have their own area and I also plan to add the Betta last so he doesn't think...

Also if I was to start another tank, which I doubt I would, it would have a filter ready to go! Yeah I've been using it that way too but did a lot of research on how Betta's get along with both cory's and Neon Tetras. I'm very eager to start the aquarium now, been nearly a year since I first...

One filter in each corner? Mine didn't show much attention to my tank the last time I tried cycling it, but he has a tendency to do something if he knows he's not allowed to so I don't want to take the risk haha. From what I read I'll be happy with the U3, I just wish I had done more research...

Na I bought it nearly 6 months ago now and was from Amazon US and I live in Aus so quite a lot of trouble. Also I checked out the Aqua Clear 50 and that's a HOB filter right? I've read Betta's are jumpers and I also have a cat so using a filter that has no lid on it isn't really an option :(

Thanks and I will :D it's a 20g/70L and I plan to get a Betta, some Neon Tetra and some Peppered Cory! I got a Fluval U3 as my filter, kinda wish I didn't think so cheaply and bought a Fluval canister though!

Yeah I've brought prime and haven't set it up yet since I'm waiting on the rest of my gravel but I hope it have all up and running by Tuesday!

Thanks, I would of added the whole thing to the filter if you hadn't told me! Should I let the tank run for a few days before adding it?
