aqueon syphon problem The devise that attaches to the water supply has a somewhat delicate internal design. the needle-like part that creates the suction can get plugged and stop functioning. I had that happen and had to do some take apart and clean it. worked good after that but I'm more...

fish viewer thanks for the input. I've only been back in the hobby about 5 months and I still struggle with cloudy water, etc. I will test water tonight and try to move on. At this time, it is more work than it was in the 70's.:banghead:

thanks for the help. I now have some ideas for solving the problem.

Any ideas about getting better visual coverage of hard to reach areas of my 40 breeder? Is there a lens or tube devise that would give better visual coverage from the top of the water. With the wood, rocks and plants, I can't tell if I have dead or missing fish or hidden deposits of fish waste...

I've read several threads about using Aqueon water changers to fill tanks after cleaning, including temping the water at the tap. I bought an Aqueon and use it for cleaning but not for filling. I have soft water on the hot water tap and it was my understanding that soft water was not...

I'm having problems with my eheim 2236 canister filter. It hasn't been able to pump the GPH it is rated for. I have cleaned it so many times it's mind numbing. I emailed the company and they finally replied that I need to use eheim filter pads.... it doesn't help. then I got upset and told them...

I just joined this site this week so I will be learning as I go as to how to use this resource. I just got a water pump that I hope will make water changes easier on my 40 gallon breeder. It's an aquatop submersible , model np306. My problem is there were no instructions other than how to avoid...

eheim filter problem I read another post that said the entire filter system should be cleaned, including all hoses. I followed that advise, even shooting old filter material thru the hoses (worked great), put it together and wow! Now I need a diffuser!!!! I don't remember who posted but thanks...

:(I recently returned to tropical fish after many years. The new technology is hard to get used to using. My main issue is my Eheim ecco 2236. It doesn't come close to its pumping output, even after cleaning. My tank is about 8 months along, PH is 7.6, nitrites are 0, ammonia is 0, nitates are...
