    So I've noticed my 307 (sometimes my 207 but not near as often) has flow issues. Everything will work fine, then a week or so later there's hardly any flow coming out of the spray bar. So I tried sitting the canister on a raised platform to be higher and shorten the tubing - doesn't work. Made...

    75 gallon new build I picked up a 525gph polar vortex canister filter because I liked the power for the price. (Plan on packing it full of high end media from Seachem.) The next thing I would like to figure out is how to have an external heating system. The guy at the aquarium shop handed me a...

    Hey guys, Im new to co2 and wanted to know what you guys thought of a paintball co2 tank for pressurized co2 setup. Currently I have a planted 75 gallon and would like to grow the montecarlo carpet better and have been thinking of investing in a co2 system. Because it’s my first time, I want...

    Hey guys, I run a sunsun 704b on my tank, and was looking into co2 reactors. I cant seem to find any reactors for larger canisters. The canister's flow rate is 525gph and the hose size (I believe) is 3/4 inch ID. Does anyone know of any reactors designed for the larger canisters, or one that...

    Hi there! This forum was a great resource to me back over a decade ago when I was fishkeeping on a shoestring budget, and now I'm back planning to start up my tank again. As the title suggests, it's a 45 gallon tank (36" long, 12" wide, 24" high) that I want to turn into an underwater forest...

    I've been spending every waking moment planning out my next aquarium, and I've hit a bit of a roadblock choosing the canister filter. I was initially planning to use a single Eheim 2217, but I decided to upsize the tank a bit. With a 64g tank, the 2217 will only give me ~4x hourly turnover...

    Hi All, I've used this forum for a lot of my fish equipment suggestions in the past as a reader but after some back and forth regarding filtration systems and types I could use some advice. Me: A beginner hobbyist Tank: Aqueon 15 Gallon LED Column Tank + Stand Heater: Fluval E 100Watt...

    Hi All, I have a 70 gallon long aquarium stocked with 4 discus, 8 black neon tetras, 3 young clown loaches and 3 SAE. At the moment the tank is running on a Sunsun HW-304B 525 GPH 5-Stage Canister Filter, plus a power head to improve flow in the tank. It's moderately planted. The problem is...

    Hi All, Have a 150g with a CO2 regulator hooked up to the return side of canister filter running through CO2 reactor. Have it set to ~ 2bps. The drop checker does not change from blue even when placed closer to the filter return (where CO2 comes in to tank). Overall, water is high PH (well...

    I've been pouring over retail sites and forums and I've seen conflicting comments comparing the Eheim 2211 vs 2213. I was hoping someone here with experience with them can help. My main questions: 1. Does the 2211 come with doubletap connectors? I keep finding conflicting comments about this...

    Hello Everyone! I have a new Eheim 2217 canister (its only a few months old) I just cleaned it the other day, and decided to look at the impeller and make sure it wasn't dirty. This was my first time doing this part, because I did not have a need to do so previously. I put it back together...

    I've wanted to get an eheim canister for years now. I've been looking at the classic series, but want to get one with a nice high turnover rate for my 40B. For me, that would mean the largest of the classics, the 2217. However, I've always believed in the idea of why buy the fully loaded...

    I was given a used Fluval 306 from a friend awhile back, but am still using a HOB (Aqueon Quietflow 20) in my 20G long planted tank. Along with a Aquaclear Powerhead 20. Both of these rate at about 125GPH or a combined 250GPH. After a little research I have learned that a canister filter is...

    I'm simplifying my tank and selling my filter/heater setup. The Eheim 2213 has no filter media but otherwise everything is included... various hoses, spray bar, etc. See below pics. The Hydor 200w is an inline heater that works great with the Eheim. I'm asking for $75 or best offer for...
