    Fluval 306 Rattle

    Air in Fluval canister

    Every time I do a water change, air gets trapped in the canister and gets loud for a day, is there a way to prevent that? I do turn off the aqua stop valve and unplug the filter when doing pwc Thanks

    PH higher in hot water tank

    I just realized that my hot water has a PH of 8, compared to 7.4 in cold water It raises the ph a bit every time I do a water change with some hot water Should I only use my cold water to do water changes from now on? ( I would let it warm up to room temperature before putting it in the tank)...

    Softened soft well water

    Is it safe to use softened well water? I've been using treated tap water but need to transport it every time. Or should I bypass the softener? My well water is known to have some iron in it There is no ammonia, nitrites or nitrates and Ph is around 7.4 Thanks

    Aquaclear 70 or 110

    Aquaclear 70 or 110 for a 55 Gal, 110 overkill? I've got a Top Fin power 60 that came with the top fin starter kit and it's so loud, tried everything, luring cleaning of impeller, can't stand it

    Foam for Top Fin 60 filter cartridges

    I haven't started my fishless cycle yet The cartridges (has two) that I got with the start-up kit only came with some carbon in it, Should I add foam pads (sponge) in both of them? (Or one with ceramic instead?) and if so, which brand would fit in it (even if I have to cut it...) I know it's...
