Do you have just one ? I have seen complaints about the noise of the unit. Have you had a Koralia so u can compare the two ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

researching wave makers for my 125g freshwater tank. I currently have two Hydor 850's but one that was brand new just stopped working and I am sending in for a replacement. Opinions on the Hydor SmartWave pump ? Says you can attach two units to it. I have seen the Jebao wavemaker as well and...

I did not replace the impeller, just the cover. I did realize after this post that the intake strainer had come off and was floating in the tank. I checked it and it is cracked to the point where it won't stay on anymore. I need to get another on of these now and don't want to try and prime the...

Sounds like it is trying to work but not working. I replaced the impeller cover because it was broken and not allowing the shaft to stay in place. Sounds like the motor is working but not spitting out water. Another issue with this filter, I have 3 (2 305's and one 405) on my 125 tank is every...

Brand new....like a month old. Unplugged it to do a water change and once done plugged it back in and it won't work. Took it apart and no obvious problems. Any thoughts what may have happened ?

Over the last month I have had numerous fish, "disappear". 3 gourami's, 2 angel fish and a sail fin pleco (he was eaten up....so didn't disappear). Obviously someone is eating them but I don't know who. I have a BGK that is 7-8 inches long but doesn't seen big enough to swallow these fish...

I just got done cleaning the impeller. Nothing was stuck but I discovered the filter was spitting any water back out ! So it wasn't filtering ....which i believe led to my ammonia issue. Canister is humming along now with now grinding after I took it apart and cleaned it. I'm going to do a...

My ammonia is .25-.50 ...hard to tell in this lighting. Nitrites is 0. No idea why my ammonia is up ....I think the impeller on one of my canisters is not functioning properly ....grinding noises coming from it. Would that cause it ?

Okay thanks. I've had him for about a year and never seen him do this. Been doing it yesterday and today. It's freaking me out.

My BGK has been hiding in a log, which he does at times, but 3 times today I thought he was dead cause he was just lying there not moving. Id walk up and then he would start moving again. Is that normal for BGK's to just lay there not moving to take a rest ?

Thanks for the help I will check that stuff and let u know.

One of my 306's has started making a grinding noise. It comes and goes. Will be really loud then just stop. It's coming from the upper area where all the mechanical parts are. I've never replaced any parts and just wondering if others have had a similar issue and what it was. Is it something...

Just saw this. My ammonia spiked one night at 4 ppm....next day it was back at 0 and has stayed there so I'm thinking a mini cycle of sorts. The Fluval 306's are up to 75 gallons and I have 2....the 406 is up to 100 and I have 1. One of the 306's wasn't cycled when I set it up....but I...

I put the Prime in before starting up the filters again.....

Ya the media in my canister filters still had all the water in them. I didn't clean them when I transferred them over. I did refill tank and put lots of Prime in it .....would that still screw it up ?
