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 […]
Hi, Iv’e got a leaking 125 gal. tank that I need to replace and I’m thinking of getting an Eheim 2217 to replace a fluval 404 that has lost power over time. I currently have it along with a Fluval 304 to help out (also somewhat under-powered)and I’m thinking to keep the […]
I got a used 55 gal tank and it was taken down the day I picked it up. I took the UGF out when I got the tank home and started to fill it. The water was so filthy, I had to drain the tank and refill. I’m not sure how many times I […]

While many people do 50% or larger PWC’s, doing more than 25% PWC’s at a time can result in a change in water parameters too much, too fast which can result in pH shock, temperature shock, osmoregulatory issues, stress issues, etc.
That article was dealing with a SW tank and did not give any actual test […]
This raising trout is a rather broad topic to begin with, guiding you in the right direction would take some doing, especially since you have not told us a thing about your intentions with them, i.e., what you intend on raising them in, how long you intend on maintaining them, etc.
As you […]
As for whether more than two female Bettas can co-exist peacefully, especially when introducing extras half way into the game, I can only give you generalizations — with with outcome being any one of a number of scenarios. You are looking for a plain, cut & dried, definitive answer on […]
in my opinion your tank is contaminated by toxic, viruses and harmful bacteria. in this case, water change is not the solution. because the toxic is still there in your tank, sorry to say but you dont have a established tank. meaning to say the cycle of your tank’s is not at […]
