Have you considered marimo moss ball? From what I read it is suppose to curb algae problems. I have 3 in my tank but I don't have an algae problem to begin with. Just my 2 cents.

i want one. don't those things just SLOWLY grow bigger and bigger? where'd you get yours?

i have a toms rapid mini canister. it's been running with no mods at all for about 2.5 months and it's dead silent with strong flow. I like it a lot. Flow hasn't changed since day 1. There is a flow indicator on the top of the canister to the outflow tube. Check to see that's working sufficiently. It could be that the indicator is jammed somehow, preventing proper flow or something inside the canister itself. i also have just the sponge like you did, thinking the shrimp would be fine. guess not! guess i'll probably find some juvie shrimp in my canister when i go to clean it.

I'll need to find more dense prefilter sponge where. I know they sell it, just have to find some

i'll let you know if i do.

Thanks for the prefilter diy. i started with just the sponge like you did, thinking the shrimp would be fine. guess not! guess i'll probably find some juvie shrimp in my canister when i go to clean it.

I love my rapids this thing is the underdog of cannister filters. My co2 breaks up and dissolves like a champ and comes out of the spray bar in a fine mist, which is great for my plants. It has also been silent since I have started using it.

i'll have to check out the S&S then...

also, my hairgrass in the cube i got from you is NOT doing well. you having any luck?

as for the tom's canister... i now have two. however, the one on my 10g started making some terrible rattling noises a couple days ago and i haven't had time to figure out what's wrong with it. i just turn it off at night so i can sleep... grr!

The flow will be dieing in a few days, with the noise going away.

I need to call and find out what the warranty covers, mine's less than a year old and has lost it's flow...

Tank looks great!

I hate hairgrass, but I havent tried it in any tanks that I have co2 or higher lights in, it was a while ago I tried it.

ovenmit331 · 01-15-2008, 10:40 PM

no no... the hairgrass was mine, the cube was what i got from you. lemme re-arrange that sentence...

old: "also, my hairgrass in the cube i got from you is NOT doing well. you having any luck?"

new: "remember that cube i bought from you, well i put hairgrass in it, and it's dying..."

i thought you were trying hairgrass in a tank... maybe i;m just on crack.
