Aquarium Advice Regular
I have had it with my Marineland Double Tide Pool Bio-Wheel filtration system. After doing my once a week 50% water change, I can't get the system to start again. At the moment it is running on 2 power heads. I can no longer get replacement parts as well. I need an overflow control rod assembly and they no longer make it. Now my small fish get sucked down into the filter system and die.
They recommend changing the carbon pillows and filter pads every 21 days. That's over $900 a year. I used to just rinse everything once a month and it would last 6 months or more. Now they down graded the quality of the pillows and they simply fall apart after 4 weeks when removed from the trays.
This tank is in the center of my living room. I really like the idea of viewing from all sides, but this system is horrible to work with. What is everyone else using? It is definitely time for a change. One that actually works............
