Just got it all setup, and I'm loving it. Absolutely quiet, not a single noise. Still getting used to the quick disconnect I guess I'm doing it too fast and it's spitting out water on me.
I think I've decided on the 2028 from bigalsonline, seemed like a pretty good deal:
Eheim 2028 Professionel II Canister Filter With Media Value Pack at Big Al's Online
Anyone else have any recommendations for what I may need with this setup before I check out? :)
well I have researched and I just wanted to make sure what I read was accurate so I asked. Seems like the eheim will be quieter but about $70 more expensive (xp3 is available for 140 at a LFS). However the extra 70 is worth it if it means no noise. I didn't see much about how to maintain it is...
Looks like the more I read, the more people are experiencing noise with the xp3 and the eheim doesn't have those problems. So right now it looks like I'm leaning toward the eheim. Should I go after a 2217 or the newer 2026 pro II? Right now big als has the 2028 for sale for $219 (cheaper than...
Yeah, my HOB (emperor) no matter where it was it made an audible splashing noise. Given it wasn't really loud, but still easily heard and noticeable, regardless of water level. Anyone else have any advice eheim vs filstar xp3? And should I go for the 2215 or 2217 for a 46g? And what's the...

Have a 46gal bowfront and wanted to have a fun themed tank so I got a tiki hut and palm tree to rice out my tank. All was well and then I got diatoms again. (I had them bad from silica based pfs last time. I have since replaced the pfs with tahitian moon sand which will not leech. The only...
I previously had PFS sand in my 46 gal tank and after leaching and causing a diatom bloom I had a nasty algae outbreak. Ultimately I had to break the tank down and clean it out. Now that the sand has leached all the silica out I wanted to reuse it, but I found that getting all the algae off...
The light is a 40 watt flourescent... There are is no direct/indirect lighting in my room. The thing I noticed is the algae or whatever it is only grows where there is light from the fluorescent, anywhere there is shade it doesn't grow. I thought I read something about some algae or something...
ended the blackout tonight and whatever it is is still there and has stringy stuff coming off it like black hair algae but not in dense packs and it's not black.
