I just cleaned the filter last week.. everything was running fine.. a couple bubbles from the bubble curtian we getting sucked up and ive had that problem before but i fixed it and i fixed it today. . today i left the house.. for maybe two hours.. came back and the filter had stopped working.. i disconnected it.. took the white spinny thing out and it was steaming.. the top of the filter was warm as well and it usually isnt.. I have two oscar fish!! i need to fix the filter! HELP!
I did!! ive cleaned it many times ive had it for two years.. i over flow it so wheni i put the top back on water comes out.. and then i prime it before i start it up. .
your filter wasnt full when you started it back up today and it burned up the return motor common problem i hope it was still under warranty.
every time you disassemble one of those filters make sure its completely full by using the primer pump on the filter.
I wish i could give ya good news but your gonna have to get that motor replaced or get a whole new filter.
Fluval Media What do I need to start a saltwater tank?
I am wanting to turn my 75 gallon freshwater tank to saltwater. I do not want coral just fish. I have a fluval 405 on it now and want to use it for the saltwater tank. I have a powerhead and a heater. What else would I need? Will my filter work and what media would I have to change it to?
you will need to build a sump for filtration and have alot more power heads the more water flow the better,you will need to buy a reef octopus overflow box to be able to use the sumps,a sump is another fish tank underneath the tank,you will have to put sections in the sump so water can filtrate properly and put live rock and sand in there too,you will have to also put a light on the sump with a timer,so as when the light on your tank goes off your sump light will come on during the night,you will need a skimmer one that does twice to three times as much water as what you have in the tank,power heads should pump at least 1000 to 1500 litres per hour depending on size of tank.you will need to have alot of water flow,the more the better,you will need to buy base rock to put in the tank,its cheaper, then you buy a couple of bits of live rock to seed the rest of the rocks,you will need to decide wheather to make the salt water yourself or buy salt water from aquarium.and you will need test kits to test water,you have to do regular water changes every week,you should have either a halogen light or flouresent light and you should have a blue flouresent light as well,helps for rocks and fish and corels.have them on timers.i must warn you it is expensive to do but once set up properly,you will work out how to save yourself money.also you must put sand in the bottom of tank,corel sand is best.after you do all that then go get your fish,and enjoy,

Betta Fish Fungus Treatments MY BETTA FISH,SAMMIE,I THINK HES DYING!?
I am so sad… I think he is dying. Tank and contents: Tank 30x12x15 Tropical Tank
Aquarium Gravel,Ornamental Bridge,Skull,Urn,Plastic plant.
7 Neon tetras(6 have white spot). Sammie: Red(Dull,unlike when we first got him)Has pop eye,white spot,tail rot,bite holes in his tails (I DON’T KNOW WHATS CAUSING THESE)
He was my first fish. From Peter Barret’s store. Has killed 1 Neon Tetra and 5 penguin tetras.
I have had him 3 weeks(Im new).I had a recent water test and can tell you the results
Im not really sure what many of them mean but the woman said it was ok and to siphon gravel and do a water change (done both) Also and tap water conditioner, She said they were very hungry so i fed them ( 4-5 pellets) Baby ones to.
Water results:Ammonia 0.25,Nitrite 1.0,Nitrate 20,PH 8.5.
Plus. I went to turn my filter up, and the water swished. Sammie was still,and he did a summer-salt. He is very lethargic! HELP! i am treating him with tail rot and anti fungus treatment At the moment.
Sorry to say, but you’re water conditions must be terrible for him to have so many conditions…
Try aquarium salt. Then buy ich medicine. The holes in his tails could be from a sharp ornament in his tank, or the tetras.. Are you sure the neon tetras aren’t cardinal tetras?
Ammonia and nitrites a litlte high. Nitrate’s at the top end of the scale. Separate him and turn up his heater to 80degF.
Research causes and treatments of ich, tail rot and pop eye.
I think he is dying. Tank and contents: Tank 30x12x15 Tropical Tank
