2 Fluval 404 compared to Ehiem Filters

[jojortc1]

Please help thinking about upgrading my filters to Ehiem or Marineland Canister filters........ Please advise

Not getting enough Biological Filtration Oxygen fairly low
assuming no good bacteria growing
PH good
Ammonia and Nitrate level in the green...

What else could it be

how big is your tank? what's your stock? and what media do you have in the filters?

you are probably new to this site. if you go to the "setup and filtraion" forum, you'll have all the answers you need there.

good luck!

a 180 will still be small for any of the fish you are housing right now.

Wanted to upgrade the filtration on my 46 gallon so I got a 404 and I hated it!! I sold it a week after I got it. I just got a xp3. Havent had a chance to set it up yet but, so far I am impressed with how user friendly it is and how it is made.

Nothing wrong with my filters..... Thank God!!! Nitrites were too high...... Did a partial water change and added new bacteria
