Amazon.com: Tetra 26313 Whisper EX 70 Filter, 45-70-Gallon: Pet Supplies
this is what we have, til today, it went dzzzzzz then nothing...
i had just cleaned the tank and turned everything back on, needless to say, i am not impressed and have come to the conclusion that most things made in this country die after a few months.
it was bought from petco, we no longer go there for pet things because the store which is local seems not to have a fish expert...let alone someone who can sex budgerigars! lool
we were 'advised' by a member of staff that this was the correct one, after he read the boxes on display.
anyways...rant on that over...
obviously the tank needs a new filter, and pretty much soon!
the tank is a 55gal (4ft long) tank and if i dont top it up it looses about 2 inch of water in a week.
i would like a filter which doesnt cost much to replace the carbons, this filter we have i quite liked because it has a section of little round 'brushes' and does keep the tank clear(ish) but there is room for improvement.
can any of you good folks recommend a new filter which would fit my requirements ?
thanks
also, the part of the filter which comes down into the tank and sucks the water through...i would like one which goes a little further down, nearer the bottom rather than over half way up
