filteration

We are looking to build a 75-gallon tank setup for a snowflake eel. I would like to be able to keep the tank for a long time and upgrade it as we go, but for now, I'm wondering what the cheapest/most efficient filtration setup would be. I have been doing quite a bit of research but I'm still a...

Hi, I am setting up a 50 gallon FOWLR aquarium. Can I just use an oversized canister filter like Fluval FX2 for the same? I am thinking of skipping Protein skimmer as protein skimmer cost an arm here in India and very less option for FOB. I am regular in maintaining the filter in my other...

So I have 100gallon tank, with a Nyos 120 skimmer 8 watts. Cup takes about a week to fill. My question is, is there any benefits to upgrading to the 160 which is a bit bigger @ 18watts as in more power, more foam that strips out more gunk and better performance for water quality . By tank size...

I'm currently running a marineland 360 canister filter and I've been thinking about changing the filter media. I'm using what came with the filter; from bottom to top: coarse foam, carbon, bioballs, ceramic rings w/ polishing filter pad on top. I've been doing a lot of research on canister...

Hi everyone, After reading a lot on this site I decided to go ahead and ask my first question. I'm in the process of setting up a reef tank for the first time, it's currently being converted from fresh water to SW and here in Malta(European Island) I didn't manage to find "Marine Pure" rock...
