    Nexus Filter Build

    This thread is to document my conversion of a Nexus 310 to 320. This filter is made in the UK so don't confuse it with the Airbus A310 and A320. Recently, Airbus offered a re-engine of their airplanes called the NEO (New Engine Offer). Nexus did the same by offering an upgrade kit to improve...

    Assassin snails in a canister filter

    Was wondering if it would be "kosher" to put assassin snails in a canister filter. I have a spotted congo with a uppity attitude. If I throw in a few snails for him and he deems them to small, he won't eat them. Now I have 2 canister filters littered with ramshorns, bladder snails and more...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hey everyone! So in November I bought a new 125g aquarium. I let it start cycling for about a week and basically used a full 2L bottle of Seachem stability. At the time I had 2 SunSun 304b canister filters. I introduced my 7" gulper cat, a baby giant gourami, and 6 goldfish into the tank. Then...

    canopy plan for 20 gallon w/ HOB?

    I'm a newbie to fish keeping, and just got a 20 gallon tank. Problem is, my cat is big & curious and I'm worried he'll knock the lid off. Does anyone have plans/recommendations for a diy canopy? I need space for a HOB filter and something sturdy enough for a 15 pound cat to land on. Thanks!

    Filter for 55g

    So I want to get a better filter for my 55 gallon tank and want to make it bare bottom. Would a fluval fx6 be to over kill? Would a set up with an airstone on the other side of the tank and filtration on the other make bare bottom work? Thanks in advance :)

    Cheap DIY Filter Sock Holder

    Had an "aha" moment looking for ways to DIY a filter sock holder for my sump and figured I'd share since I haven't seen it anywhere. I used a styrofoam block to hold up the plastic ledge of a filter sock within the chamber. Styrofoam is impossible to sink, pretty much free, and I'm assuming is...

    So I'm currently working on getting a 120 gallon aquarium (48"x24"x24") set up. It has a 30 gallon (36"x12"x16") sump which is currently set up in a rather underwhelming fashion. My current plans for drainage are as follows: the system will drain via two "megaflow" style overflows tied together...
