hey guys tried searching in the 116 pgs and couldnt find.. i am looking for an intank filter for my aq its a 20 gal by my estimate
thng is its a boat shaped tank and was given to my wife by her sister as a b-day gift and the resun filter started to leak currant into the water... when i touched the glass or the water i was feeling the shock
tried all the places in south except the mall and they all looked at me and said i need an external filter ..i cant because of the cover .. either i find a decent intank filter or a cut a new opening in the glass cover

anyone seen in any fish place and can help plz post

why not take the old filter to Chai's (who sells resun products....believe the authorised dealer) and see if they have the same filter and replace it. They have other in tank applications like this u can use





Chai's (Azoo) Store 646-0596

[MonsterPower]

Thanks alot for all the responses
Sharkman i called up the guy but he only had external ones
Called up Agent roro and he pointed me in the direction of ST joseph agri and pet supplies on royal road.Spoke to the owner and he was very knowledgable guy who advised me on the tetra whisper internal power filter. i also bought a bubble stone and water treatment for the cloudy water.He also had some colorful fishes which looked like guppies . i may go back another day for them

Now Harold,kumar,fred and joe swimming rather happily in their newly filtered water.(wifey said that )

I will post up pics of my tank when i get some time

UML, you decide on what lighting and other stuff you want to go with yet?
and how d curing of live rock going

[UML]

^^^ aye aye Rome wasnt built in a day

is year+ i planning this tank eh..so doh expect miracles nah

k well i more t5 inclined AGAIN...although I was hoping LED because of the low temp change i leaning back to t5 because it tried and tested and reviews that mushrooms lose the brightness of their colour with leds....maybe before i decide to buy a chiller the led quality wud improve and i wont have to buy it again

about curing the rock.....i have everything EXCEPT the rock

i might get it this weekend or next weekend...not sure when..waiting on a next partner who also upgrading his nano tank to a 4ft.

we thinking our curing process will be a week max...cause the rock wudnt be out of the water for not more than an hour or two.

i will share my experience with u guys

Head and Lateral Line Erosion (HLLE)

Cause: Environmental; nutrition, stray voltage, pathogens, water quality, activated carbon

Description: Head and Lateral Line Erosion has almost never been observed on reef fishes, except when they are housed in aquaria. It has an unknown cause. Possibilities include pathogens, stray voltage, copper medications, activated carbon, poor water quality, and others. It may be that there are a number of causative factors that lead to the formation of this disease.
Symptoms: Pigmentation begins to disappear from the head region around the eyes. Lesions develop and advance from the head region down the lateral line (sense organ for vibrations) along the side of the fish. Pigmentation loss continues to the point that internal organs may become visible. Fin and opercular tissue (bony covering over the fish gills) may also be lost.
Treatment: Since there is specific known cause, there is no specific known solution. Successful treatments have included: removal of the affected from from their aquarium environment and placement into a new system with clean water; dietary change with an increase in vitamins.

yeh tests confirm activated carbon has shown to cause HLLE in fish...especially tangs. What however is up in the air is how come thousands of reefers run activated carbon and fish dont get HLLE.

[HondaB20B]

well its in one of the CORAL mags

[sharkman121]

well its in one of the CORAL mags

yeh think thats exactly where i read it, in reefkeeper or advanced aquaris magazine or sumn.

They did some tests and proved carbon was causing it, but didnt know how come lots of reefers never got it with everyone running act carb these days.

[UML]

and i now buy activated carbon for my tank

btw what is chemi pure? and where do u buy it?

[sharkman121]

dont study too much about the activated carbon, keep running it in my opinion. Does alot more good than harm.

Chemi pure works, its still a glorified carbon & gfo item. Ive been reading alot of discussions about chemie pure, not if it works because it does, but if it does enough to justify the price tag. Some ppl swear by it, i was very impressed by the reviews and marketing myself so i do run chemi pure now. But tests done show that chemi pure doesnt do much really more than running carbon and gfo. Ill try to get the source from where i read it, cant remember where at the moment.
