SilverWolf Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I want to get a new filter for my 10G NPT. I'm looking for one that is an adjustable water flow. Any suggestions? Must be able to buy locally in Calgary. Any brands to stay away from? I only put a sponge in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmonza Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have 52 tanks and I use aquaclears. I find them to be very effective and adjustable. I refill my own charcoal and ammonia remover. It's cheaper that way, Something I have to think about with 52 tanks...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 yep aqua clear 20 cheap, effective and durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okotoks Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I just bought a Fluval c3 HOB and it is fantastic but like the others said, Aquaclear is great choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Love my Aquaclears, but picked up some used Eheim Liberty hobs from a member here (steal of a deal thanks again bottom dweller n hubby) and these are running a very close second. They have inserts that hold both coarse and fine sponges in place and I filled the mid space between with ceramic rings. Powerful little filter.

DivineHammer Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I run Aquaclears on all my tanks, and never had a problem with any of them, I have 8 of them ranging from the 20-110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolf Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks! I'll look into an Aquaclear when my 'allowance' comes out (payday tomorrow!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolf Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Oh yea, where do you buy the ceramic thingies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blink Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I like seachem matrix or denitrate, pisces or big Al's should have em. Fluval brand ceramic dingles should be available at petland or petsmart or pisces/Al's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Bio max is a good one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineHammer Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I run nothing but the sponge and the biomax in all my AC filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
