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 […]
Heather, I think it is an overcrowding issue- I should talk as my 55 has a pile of platys and my pond is overstocked but I didn’t do it. the fish did. Maybe a 20 Gal tank would make things easier- I always had trouble with 10 gal as they emptied too fast […]

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 […]

Does running an Eheim 2227 wet/dry on a fresh water tank lower the ph of the tank. All my tanks always have a ph of 7.2-7.4 . Bay Shore tap water is the same. The only changes I have made to my main 55g is to add […]
How’s your tapwater smell? How bad is the tank smell and is it always that way or just the inital opening of the lid? I keep my tanks as close to technically perfect as I can and the first time I open the lid in the morning I get a small wiff of […]
Hi….I always get a lousy smell when i open the cover in the morning. the water is slightly cloudy most of the time,i have way below the number of fish for the tank which is a 70 gallon one and i dont over feed them. Regular water changes of 20% per week […]
