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 […]

Thought I’d share with the group my near loss of pond, recovery, and lesson learned. Specs. 1,700 Gal. pond, Performance Pro 1/4-49 pump, Ultima II 2,000 filter and Aqua UV 80W. Aloha Oregon, near Portland. […]

Does anyone have directions (or links to directions) on how to make a DIY water hyacinth/lettuce root protector ring from a hula hoop and (what kind of netting/fabric???)???? I’ve seen them before or read about how to make them before but have Googled all afternoon and cannot find anything except premade ones for sale. […]
Oh great, that is not what I bargained for, probably not the best fish for a beginner either… ugh…
