What other fish do you have in the tank?

I am going to be purchasing another canister filter either in 3 months or at tax return. Money is no problem if I wait till tax return time. I currently have a Filstar XP3. This filter I am going to use Chemi-pure and water polishing filters. So the new canister is going to hold filters and...

Originally Posted by Flower I like the sponges! They keep the good bacteria in them, I rinse them in discarded saltwater during water changes. The more good bacteria the better, if you do get rid of them don't do it all at once. I have 4 sponges in my current canister. I rinse them the same way

I have a Filstar XP3 and love it. Easy to clean and it keeps my tank right now crystal clear. So is Fluval the best on the market?

Worst day of my life. I get a text message while at work from my wife. It said "Been in an accident. car totaled. Called 911. Can't get out". My wife and son are in the car. So I called her instantly. The brakes falled on the car. She drive the car into the woods and hit a tree. I left...

Originally Posted by Flower Because I run two canisters I can get away with a 305 Fluval for my 90g. The Cascade is for up to 100g, it was my original. If I ever lose the Cascade I will replace it with another 305, and yes I believe the FX5 is rated for bigger tanks. If however you are going...

What about the Eheim wet/dry filer?

I also see that the Fluval 405 which is the biggest is only rated up to 100g tanks.

Originally Posted by Flower Fluval hands down, the most important feature is how easy it is to do maintenance. Most canister filters hold plenty of media and with a spray bar have great flow on the water surface. Of the many types I have used over the years I really like the fluval best. My.02...
