I've had a tank for a while (around a year) and have never been able to keep it fully clear for any period of time. I gravel vac often but i'm worried about changing out water too fast.
My buddy upgraded his filter and gave me his Fluval 405 along with a bunch of substrate. Should I be concerned about using it in my freshwater tank after its been used for saltwater filtration for an extended period of time? I currently am using Tetra whisper hang over back filter rated for 10 gallons more than my tank. its pretty meh.
Also, he said there might be a part missing. Basically there is an intake hose, an output hose, a power plug, and the substrate. Am i missing something?
I have a 40 gallon tank by the way with an angelfish, tricolor shark, grommie, and a pretty large placo.
much appreciated.
