ehhh??? whats an AC 20 im lost here could anyone give me a link or somthing I know nothing of epoxy or epoxy related stuff
AC20 is an aquaclear 20, if you're only saving $5 you're better off getting a new filter. For the $5 extra dollars you get a entire new filter and media not to mention its a better filter than a topfin.
yeah and if you dont want to get a new one take the old one into petsmart and tell them you cant find your receipt and you bought it a couple weeks ago. they have a 60 day return policy and they usually dont ask questions. without your receipt they will only give you store credit but its good towards a new filter. i too would suggest a different brand due to top fins are made cheap and do stuff like that often. they sell the aqua clear 20s at petsmart. if your filter model is a really old one and dont look like the ones at the store they prob wont go for it. but since its "their brand" and only petsmart sells it they would probably be happy to replace it.
yeah I know topfin is crap it came with the first fish tank I bought so I put it to use in a ten gal lol.
well I pronounced it dead and built what I like to call a HIF (hang inside filter)
out of taper ware and a pump that I found in my fish box
I estimimate it runs 300 GPH cause it was a small pond pump. plecs are loving it. im using two bags of of media with carbon and it runs completely silently. .
