I find these cloth kind of cooking strainers to be very useful when removing internal filters for cleaning -- unlike with say a net, finer particles don't come out through the cloth. They come in larger sizes too that would fit over that size bottle.

Looks a lot like a filter sock - good call! I'll try that next time.

My 75 is in transition mode as far as aquascaping. But as for filtration, an Eheim pro 2 and a Rena filstar for 75 gal. Stocked with a 10”, 9 year old synodontis mutt, and 6, 1” Burundi frontosa. Also 10 assorted Cory cats and 15 or 20 ghost shrimp, (hard to be sure of numbers on these guys). I plan to thin the fronts after they get to breeding size and I have a good pair.

125g has a Cascade 1500 Elite and a SunSun 304b (budget setup ftw) It needs more plants, but my Pacu makes that difficult. Pic is also before the Cascade was added.


100g acrylic has a built in overflow with a five stage filtration system and I use it for freshwater so it just has a 425gph powerhead running the built in system and it works great. Apparently I don't have a picture on this phone so I'll post that later.

Also this is my first post, so hello everyone.

75G with 1 FX6 and 1 AC70
30G with 1 Eheim 2217

Somewhat overkill on the 75G but it keeps the water and substrate clean and clear. FX6 is for rough mechanical and biological filtration and the AC70 is for filter floss replaced weekly.

My main 120 has an under gravel with two power heads and two bubble tubes. Plus a 350 penguin. Water stays really clean but will probably add another 350 or maybe 200 just because. My 10 gallon personal tank has a 100 penguin and I added some rings in it along with using the wheel.
