Not stocked in NYC, cannot do an online order/they will not ship, they do not receive stock from other stores: no way to buy it.

I just set up a new canister filter (Oase Biomaster 600) in my 37 gl. turtle tank. This filter has a unique feature: an easily removable for internal pre-filter comprised of a stack of 6 cylindrical sponges totaling approx. 12'-14" tall. The stock pre-filters that came with mine are 60ppi...

Thanks for the assist Colin! After a rigorous search I just acquired a replacement canister filter (new Oase Biomaster Thermo @ approx. 45% discount). Compared with it's predecessor the long serving XP3, the Oase is filled with the same (or slightly more) quantity of mechanical media (sponges)...

Is the Eheim 2260 from the same series/generation of filters? I'm researching a replacement for a Rena XP3 and see this filter mentioned: availability of parts could be a concern. Good luck finding the o-rings!

I'm hoping someone may be able to help with some measurements. My 17 year old Rena/Filster XP3/XPL may need to be replaced very soon so I want to explore my options. A big concern is the physical dimensions of the filter which must fit in my current custom built-in cabinet. I think any standard...

Impeller was replaced I believe just once, many years ago. I replaced o-rings on the filter lid a few years ago. I replaced the intake/outake valve 0-rings a few years ago (I have a pack of several) and I just now replaced the outake o-ring (but it wasn't in too bad shape intact and pretty...

OK I see, it's art of a package. Not in stock in my area but maybe they can order one. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Colin. There's no substrate - bare tank - and I've been doing about 75% water change the past two days. I'd just done a full filter tear down and cleaning and 100% water change a few weeks ago. I did remove the filter head/motor after this occurred and rinsed...

Geoff-PA, Do you have a link to the item on their website? I looked at PetSmart's aquarium offerings but didn't see a 37 gallon rectangle. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. A plastic storage container will not work as a replacement (except an emergency holding tank ... which I have, a Rubbermaid, but I need a new tank) ... as this has to be presentable in a nice kitchen.

I'm unable to find this size anywhere in NYC. The only store I know that made tanks told me it became to expensive to do so they no longer offer the service. Buying new will stress my funds (hoping to locate a used tank in decent shape) so I imagine a custom fabricated tank will be to...

I have a single male Red Ear Slider about 18 yrs old with approx. 6" shell. He lives in a 37 gallon tank (filled to the brim) plus an above tank basking area. Unfortunately tank size is limited due to the built-in nook (apartment) where the tank is located (tall format 37 gallon tank). My...

My turtle's glass tank is at the end of its life as one of the vertical joints is leaking. Its an uncommon size, 37 gallon tall, 30"(L) x 22" (H) x 12" (W) so not as easy to find new or used. My understanding is has been that plastic tanks are a bad idea for keeping turtles due to their claws...

I have a turtle aquarium that's is positioned in a specific built-in nook therefor I'm limited on how long it can be. 30" is the limit. My current tank is a tall configuration 30"(L) x 22" (T) x 12" (W) ... however it just sprung a leak and needs replacement. Do to the turtle's size and my...

Looking to find a 37 Gallon Tall Tank 30"x12"x22", I'm located in NYC. My tank unfortunately just sprung a leak on one of the glass joints so it needs replacement. The tank holds a single Red Ear Slider turtle, is I reduced the water level to around 8" (below the area of the leak) until I can...
