filter chamber

I am setting up a waterbox 25 peninsula and was just wondering where most people place the power head? I've seen some middle of tank; magnet in middle chamber and some with it right under the return nozzle. Also was wondering what media goes in what chamber. Thanks

Good morning folks. I was cleaning my tank last night and pulled out the filter basket to rinse out some filter pads and noticed this alien in the bottom frame. It’s a little chunky and looks like it’s spreading. I haven’t seen this in my tank and I’m wondering if I should hit it with a...

Hi I just upgrade til 20g tank and i wonder, can I run it like that? Have anyone try it?

Does anyone make a inline unit for plumbing that will catch larger debris such as dehydrated shrimp or other larger food waste , before the roller system ? So as I don’t get a collection of decaying food I have to remove the roller to get out ???

Hello, I recently got a deal on a aquatlantis aquaview 130. This is going to be an upgrade from my 72 gallon bowlfront in my basement, it’s going into the living room so it needs to be silent. Here are some of my concerns with the tank: The return pump plumbing looks to be 1/4 inch, kinda...

I picked up a used Waterbox Reef 70.2 that had the filter compartment removed (baffle taken out) in order to accommodate a filter floss roller. I don't want to jump on the roller bandwagon because (to me) it's a hassle to replace the rolls compared to the plastic filter cups that I regularly...

So I’m wondering what’s the best setup for the Fluval evo in terms of filtration and which chambers to have things in, currently I’ve got as follows; Chamber 1 - Bubble magus mini Q, under the skimmer is loads of biomedia balls and my D-D temp prob Chamber 2 - D-Flow media basket with floss...

Hello everyone, I have a JBJ 15G cube. The Overflow Chamber: 3.25"L x 4"W x 16"H. I am looking to get a filter sock for it, but I can't find a 2.75 inch filter sock with a ring that holds it. The 4 inch ring is too big so I am kinda stuck. Anyone know what I can do?

I have a 90 gallon Pro Star AIO that we filled up for the first time earlier this week. We cannot get the water level in the filter sock chamber to stay at a consistent level. We've tried dialing up/down the water flow as well as manipulating the level of the return pump and the water is still...

Just added water to our new tank 2 days ago and the noise is incredibly loud. The tank is a Pro Star 90 gallon all-in-one set-up. I’m not sure if we set the sump up correctly or not.. as you can see in the video there is a sticker that says maximum water height and the water is well above it...

Hi all, looking for recommendations on what other media to put in my AIO back filter chamber(s). Right now its just filter floss in chamber one, and seachem matrix in chamber 2. I have extra amounts of matrix (bio media) to compensate the “small” amount of rock i have in display. i have lots of...

Hi all, I have read that running live rock or “rubble” in an all in one back filter chamber isnt a good idea as its a cause of detritus build up and therefore influences nitrate rises. Im curious does this count for larger bits of live rock? Or just the rubble? And im assuming rubble is...
