The other day, one of the 2 lights installed was no longer working. So, I went to a nearby pet store and bought a replacement. I installed it, and the new one wouldn't work either. After trying all 3 light bulbs in the same slot, I realized that the problem isn't with the light bulb in the first place. Obviously, it's a problem with the light "holder," the wiring or something.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do? ]]> Equipment capper http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/equipment/59441-nisso-light-problem.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/equipment/59435-tetra-whisper-power-filter.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:55:16 GMT I just picked up a 10 gallon tank with lid, 15w light and tetra whisper filter for free. I figured I'd set it up as a hospital tank. I wanted to get the filter running and the media established in my main tank until the time I need the hospital/quarantine tank.

Well I set the filter up and it makes a horrible grinding noise. Everything is assembled and seated correctly, but its not pulling water and grinds very loudly.

Is this a problem with the impeller? May a new one fix this? or is this a problem with the energizer/motor attached to the bottom of the filter?


If anyone is familiar with tetra whisper filters and can provide some insight I'd appreciate it.

I just thought that looked really interesting. I'm probably going to set up an old 10g soon. Do you think this would be something to think about or just go with the normal HOB.

Thanks for you input. ]]> Equipment Stillness http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/equipment/59366-mini-canister.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/equipment/59248-palm-filter.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:44:37 GMT My 5g has a betta in it only with a 5-15 AquaTech Filter. It's a little strong for the betta so I've been considering downsizing a bit. Does anyone know anything about the Palm Filter? It sounds like it would be perfect for the betta.

I have an overcrowded(or soon to be) 75 gallon tank, could i possibly run 2 magnum 350's and a biowheel 350 to pick up the slack for a bit? Sounds logical to me, but I may have the wrong idea.
Thanx

I have the opportunity to get a rather large Hexagonal Tank, but the silicone leaks on it. If it won't kill me to do it, I'd like to attempt to redo the silicone.

When we got it over to my house and we noticed that there were two nipples of wear like maybe the previous owner had it filled with sand and the filter was sandblasting the bottom and gradually wore away part of the bottom surface. I am told this is a salt water tank so it is thicker than a freshwater. I am using it for freshwater. I have taken two pieces of Plexiglas and used Goop to adhere them around the two nipples that have the warn away part so any pressure gets spread around the worn nipples and not on them. I have two (three) questions: First: What the heck could have done this. Second: Do you think what I did would hold? And third : do you think I got a good deal (oh yeh it came with a stand). ]]> Equipment psi3000 http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/equipment/59194-125-gallon-glass-worn.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/equipment/59186-where-buy-big-tanks-other-stuff.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:39:16 GMT Does anyone know of a good place to buy a big tank like 150gal as well as wet/dry filter and other stuff online?
