    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...

    Noisy Canister Filter (Fluval FX4)

    I have a Fluval FX4 on my 125 gallon brackish tank. It makes a "vibrating" sound. Fixes?? More details: I have a "media bag" over the inlet to keep fry out of the filter (found 7 live fry at one of my filter cleanings). I do notice reduced flow if I don't clean the bag about every 2...

    Eheim Pro 4 350 next to tank

    I was wondering if anyone ran a canister filter directly next to a fish tank. My tank is 60"X18"X24" high... If I place the canister next to the tank will everything work perfect or does the canister need to be under the tank?
