i really hope your coming along well

 

[Dylan5359]

The filter I got is WAY to big for my tank. I'll bring it back to petco on Friday. If I can go.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

what kind you get?

 

[Dylan5359]

It's a couple pages back in this thread.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

went back to page 43 didn't see it il take your word for it

Too powerful or too obtrusive?

I think the filter I'm about to post is on petco, so if you can use the card online try this guy.. oops nvm. Have you looked at the Penguin 100?

 

[Dylan5359]

It was just WAY to big in size. I liked the filter I had, but it's flow was to strong. If I put some filter floss around the intake will it make a difference.?

 

[iDream]

It should definitely weaken the flow

 

[Dylan5359]

Cool. I'll get to that.

 

[Dylan5359]

I just spent the last hour trying to get this dumb power filter to work. It just wouldn't work! I finally found out that I didn't wash the filter out after I tossed it aside. (salt dried up in where the filter propellor goes) I washed it out and after about 2 minutes it began to work. I'm not sure if the flow is less ,but I think it is. . Pictures will be up tomorrow because my tank looks ugly(er) due to all the little up lifted sand and what not flying around. I'm waiting for it all to settle. In a half an hour I'll take a parameter test though.

 

[iDream]

Yeah once those things get gunked up they never work the same, happened to all 3 I've ever used

 

[Dylan5359]

Ammonia: over .25 close to .50
Nitrite: over 0 ! There's a purple tinge!
Nitrate: I couldn't find the third vial. ...

LOL sounds like the cycles finally in progress, seen any life to your live rock yet?

 

[Dylan5359]

Nope. I saw a type of worm (really small), which I expected to be a bristle worm on the car ride home. But no haven't seen anything. 0_o

Did you post any pictures of the new sand and rock yet?

 

[Dylan5359]

[iDream]

Oh. The app pages are different. And cool. The one thing that annoys me about nano heaters is they usually don't have a temperature adjust knob. :/
