canister

Unfortunately, I am one of those folks who didn't read enough before buying a canister filter. I now understand why you can't trust the "for aquariums up to XXX gallons". So when I got my 150 gallon, I bought a Fluval FX2 and it does okay. Water's okay but not as clean as I'd like. (Fortunately...

This listing is for a model 2262 (1500XL) Ehiem canister filter. Condition is new/unused. I had some pretty big ideas on setting up a DC powered controllable pump to this canister unit, but the project never took off. A spare o-ring and lid screw was purchased (spare o-ring and lid screw are...

Hi all. I have a 4 feet tank. 4x2x1.5 (Length x width x height) and I bought the wrong canister filter. Will lowering water in tank have any effect on my canister filter ? Particularly the input tube that gets water back to the canister ? My tank is 83 gallons (310 litres) and the filter I have...

Hi fellow friends MFK. newbie here first time owner of large tank and prefer canisters over sump. Tank setup for 2 snakeheads. 7ft x 3 x 2.5 that is approximately 393 gallons or 1500 liters. Will 2 eheim xl canisters be enough for beneficial bacteria growth and full cycle ? One canister on each...

This has really been my workhorse to remove particulates in a 240g FW with a large bioload (rays, bass, dats etc.). This plus an Eheim 2262 was more than enough for my tank. I would change the sock every other week and I would only have to touch my canister 4x per year. It is very easy to...

Hooked up my fx4 on my 75 today and noticed my water level dropped quiet a bit. So if I were to have a fx4 on like a 20 gallon would that basically be a sump? On another topic can anyone recommend me a canister filter for a 20 gallon long? Stock will he f8 puffer and bumblebee gobies.

What's the advantages to having a sump over just running a canister filter or 2 on larger 100+ tanks? I would love a 150 but sumps are way outa my knowledge range.

I'm finally building my 380 gallon tank! Yay. I'm not sure on wether I want to buy a filter (sump? Canister?) or if it's a better option to make one. What filters do you use/prefer? And any links/thoughts on building one? Greatly appreciated!

My endlicheri is currently trying to swallow my smaller Senegalus as I type. My main concern is that the endlicheri will die trying to swallow this meal, and as the Senegalus is already dead. Part of me wants to let nature take its course but I do not want my endlicheri to suffocate trying to...

Here's my setup and placement as of now and not sure if i did it right or wrong so can someone give me some advice on placing the input and output for my two canister filter which is fx5 and sunsun hw-304b with one powerhead and internal filter, where should i point the powerhead? I will be...
