First, I always like to have 2 filters.
Second, while Eheim might be the highest quality, it comes with a high price as well. For my money I like the Rena Filstar XP3 and XP4 filters. Ive only had them 2 years so far however. My Eheims and my Renas do an […]
Hi Myron,
I can not speak on the condition of the Eheim filter but I did want to address the loss of power from your two Fluval filters. I have a few- well, maybe 6 of these different ones. Over the years I have come to have to deal with the 303 and 304 or 404 […]

Sometimes fish will become “evil” if they are in an undersized tank due to basic “survival of the fittest” instincts kicking in. They thin out the heard so that they have a better chance of survival.
Sometimes, you can “trick” them into thinking they have a larger water volume by having lots of […]
I am using Ehfisubstrate in both trays. In the top tray there are also a handful of ceramic rings mixed in. Bayshore water is a little on the hard side but usually never changes. I have a fire station on the next road so the are constantly opening up the hydrants to […]
What area of the world are you located in? I know some areas do not have as many available meds. Are you familiar with any of the meds that are available in your area?
First, you should move the ill fish to a quarantine tank so that you can treat it separately. This […]
One thing that occurs to me. If you think that filter may have made a difference maybe you recently added it. Some of the things you can put in filters can variously pull bad things out of the water, and even change the ph (more likely by raising […]
Just out of curiosity, how are you measuring ph? I use the API test kits, and I can’t discern teh results with that degree of specificity. What is more, my ph reagent usually suggests a lower ph than my high ph reagent. I do know if the colors […]
What are you using for media in the Eheim? Have you ever tested your KH and/or DH? If so, how have they changed, if at all? Do you measure your pH at approximately the same time of day?

What time of day did you test the pH? Was it first thing in the morning? Was it later in the day? Do you have any other test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH?
We went through this recently with someone else so yours may be the same situation.
Do you have live plants […]
