I'm running two tidal 110 on my 75 and its dead quiet

I am having gold severum pair around 18 months frmale is laying eggs but they are not gettinh hatch on 2nd day eggs gets white in colour Please guide me for this

I normally have little love for skirt tetras or lookalikes, but I love the pirahna-like color of these ones! I'll have these when I finally build a red tail shark tank.

I have a tidal seachem 55 HOB filter... it wont fit on my 60 gal breeder or my 75 gal tanks because the rim around these tanks is wider then the 55 gal TANK... Are these aquaclear 55 gal filters capable of fitting around the rims of the 75 gal tank ? un-like the tidal 55 ?

How does it compare with the fluval 207 in terms of noise? I have the 207 and I like is quite quiet, and I would like to thirst the eheim in different aquarium, but I am worried about the noise.

how bout rinsing the 2 mechanical filters in aquarium water as theres some beneficial bacteria there too?

What happen if the pump on the tank under or on top not working ?😅

never used this but i do use prevent algae and thats fine

I've got several of these, in both 20 gallon and 60 gallon size, some made in USA, and newer ones from China. The newer, China made 60 gallon models did make a mechanical sound that the older USA model did not. Close examination showed that the impeller on the ones made in China had a small piece of white plastic (next to the magnet) that wasn't trimmed very well, and which rubbed on the inner wall of the recess where the impeller spins. I trimmed this plastic with a knife out of the kitchen drawer, and the filter immediately became as quiet as the older USA made model, which is to say, almost completely inaudible, and deserving of the Whisper name. Both of my 20 gallon models, one USA made and the other made in China, are perfectly silent, and appear to be made exactly to the same high quality standard. Except for the minor issue with the impeller, the same applies to my 60 gallon models, there simply is no difference in the quality of construction or materials. As mentioned in the video, I also have had the rubber O-ring start to leak on a couple of these when it gets old. The fix is easy, just remove the filter from the aquarium, then remove the motor housing from the bottom of the filter. Wrap a few turns of teflon tape over the O-ring, and reinstall the motor housing. These do need to be filled with water before plugging them in, but mine have been very good about starting reliably if this is done, and restarting after power outages (they don't lose their prime like some filters). The filter pads are very economical to buy, about 60 cents each if you buy them in a 12 pack from Amazon, and you can rinse them and reuse them several times before you have to replace them. The last feature I will mention is the flow control located at the top of the suction tube. This works really well and is easy to operate. It's much better than the flow control on any other hang-on-back filter that I've used, and lets you easily turn the flow down to a trickle for feeding. Taken on a cost/benefit basis, the Whisper is very impressive.

Great vid, thanks man!

How good are Ehiem? One of my client has one with the light gray power cord.

Well hey my friend I haven't seen you on KZbin in a while. Never try that product. For me I prefer not to use chemicals since most my tanks are planted. I found Siamese algae eaters do the job for me. But interesting to see how well that carbon worked

I just have severum around 2inch.. shes heavy breathing (overworking mouth open-closes) where my other fishes do fine. she seems active tho eating fine. is this normal or what should i do?

How is this filter holding up? Are you still happy with it?

How much water does it cycle an hour? I'm thinking about getting 2 for 125gal tank I'm going to sent up

I have a 22-gallon water tank, and I can use 207, but the water flow is too big, so I can’t start it at full speed. It’s good to have the water flow down to the third level😊😊! Is it better to not put biochemical cotton in the lowest layer but put more filter materials?

I changed the filter sponges and rocks and stuff and I added some algae fix because I had a lot of bearded algae as well. I just went to my tank and all plyvistumas were dead.

Hi i have a question is this filter can fit topfin 55 gallon tank the tank has hols in the cover for there filter

Sooo, what size sump do i need for my 7,000 litre (~2,200 US gallon) aquarium?

How would these be in a 20 gallon long, with live plants?

I use it and I have guppies and platties in a 30 gal and the same thing happened to me all my fish were on the bottom but I've never lost any fish and it did clear the alge and killed the black bearded alge

Lmao father fish hates you 😂

Watching this video cause all my fish died only saved my beta named coco 😢

Could these be kept with bristlenose? I have a 37gal tank with aging mid-top water fish and want to get these as a replacement but theres 2 bristlenose with 5+ years left on them

Just got one of these and a pack of Seachem Purigen to pack in.

I think where some people might run into issues with this product is because they don't account for displacement. My tank is 190 litres, but after factoring in displacement from plants, inhabitants, substrate, the lower water level, etc., the actual water volume is only 125 litres.If I dosed on tank size alone I would've overdosed by 52%

Is it suitable for 40 gal tank only one flowerhorn fish one year old

Is it okay to clean the media out with tap water? I always thought I had to clean the media out with tank water, so I don’t damage the bio layer

I saw several mistakes with the dirt mixture.

Killed my fish😤

Do you think this would work with a snapping turtle pond since they go to the surface to breath?

It would be good if you put the new filter pads back in…

They have a similar attitude to tiger barbs, but still one of my top 5.

Just subscribed after watching your aqua clear video. I’m enjoying the information you have to share!

Just to be safe just don't bother, my fish were struggling to breathe shortly after use. I did an emergency water change. For clarity, I am using API Prevent Algae which I think is a renamed product or the European product name.

They should re make this filter and just add a self priming feature then it would be perfect

Could you use this for a similar size marine tank?

Best filter system? Ive had marine land, im looking to switch to something better

Thanks for the review. I almost bought this to solve my algae problem in the tank

Thanks for sharing. Came here after your diy sump video

I'd rather jump out the tank and die than spend 20+ years in a glass cage that small🤦‍♂️

I've had this filter for about 7 years on a 36 Gallon planted low tech tank. I have some phosphate issues but my water is clear - just getting some brown algae and bba on a few plants. In your video you mention having an additional sponge filter and aqua clear filter running purigen. So you have 3 filters on the 40 gallon tank? I purchased phosphate media pad that I am planning to add to my canister. Any other suggestions? Would running additional filters help?

basically don't follow anything from this video... any kind of overflow box with U pipes over the tank can lose siphon and cause a flood...it's cheaper to do it right rather than spending thousands on fixing wooden floors etc... also as you see in this video the sump intake has bubbles and he made a little cover for the top.. it's not for aesthetics. it's because the damn thing is so loud that he thought he could reduce the noise with it. also...always make sure to use glass baffles for the return partition where the water will pump up... with the system running fill up that partition in the sump until the top tank is full...and that's your total capacity reason for that is because if for some reason something in the overflow gets plugged the sump will never overflow the top tank... its better for the pump to run dry and break than spending thousands to fix water damage as you can see in this video..if he loses power..his overflow will empty until there's no siphon on the main tank side when the power goes back on, since he has no return partition...ALL the water in the bottom tank will pump up to the top and flood the top tank also any type of overflow box like this with a U pipe will lose siphon even when running after sometime micro bubbles get introduced in the pipes creating at the top of the pipe..once the air in the U pipe reaches the "legs"...no more siphon these types of boxes are known as time-bombs overflow boxes such as these can be "fixed" by running an air-line pushing the air into the box with a T connected to the top of the U pipe basically acting as a vacuum (this requires the air pump to be strong enough to pull the water high enough for it to flow again) these are the common..how not to build your sump videos created by someone that is just happy that they got a sump going xD there's many ways of doing sumps properly and you can search on youtube for it.. there's intake pipes using a cap a bit smaller than the id of the intake pipe with "teeth" cut in it...the cap will have an air bubble and spin and the water flow into the overflow box you can have a builtin sump in the tank..drill the side of the tank and overflow to another tank I don't trust overflow boxes on the outside of the tank simply because of water weight overtime... also for freshwater systems..issues with sumps is small fish such as fry or shrimp getting into filtration just take this into account...1 sock filter can handle about 400gph as a limit...200gph to be on the safe side...determine the pump that you'll be using..and then build accordingly as most regular tanks are 12" deep a safe way to have a sump would be to get a 18" deep and using the back wall to build the sump and using 3 intake socks on each side with the pump in the middle partition drill the back of the tank in the top of the middle partition and thats your overflow into the bottom... if the power ever goes out only a few inches of water from the middle partition will flow back to the bottom... now..return pipes from the sump..they should always go in the water so that there's no noise of water splashing returning to the top tank then to prevent back flow in case of a power outage there's 2 things you can do...on the return pipes from the pump..put a check valve on the return pipes right on top of the water level drill a hole in the pvc pipe angled towards the flow the check valve will prevent backflow...and just in case the spring or valve got stuck in the open position the hole in the pvc at the top will break the backflow siphon the only trick I've seen for this was on a youtube video some guy had a clear pvc pipe with a gasket at the bottom and a bearing inside the pipe so when the water pushes up it flows.... if it stops the bearing falls and blocks the gasket..I've never tried it myself but looked neat here's a tank I've done with a double intake photos.app.goo.gl/j84yKPzveQuRTws1A you can literally build the same way with the 2 intakes..drill the back for overflow and have another tank in the bottom the same way... double filtration...no flooding risks ^^ if you're new to glass cutting my tips and tricks are as follow..get a nice long thick ruler with an anti-slip bottom so the ruler doesnt move while you're cutting and get a glass cutter with an angled flat surface at the bottom with oil (these tend to run away less than the old ones and provide a cleaner cut) you can find them on amazon... also search on youtube for "bean animal" that's the most accepted way of running a proper overflow box into a sump as it's safe and also silent

This video is false

Great points about the filter and stuff coming out of it. Although I don't have any of the 7 series fluvals. I did end up getting a sicce whale 500 to run my 75 gallon. It hasn't been on there long enough to do a cleaning yet. Good video on maintenance of the filter though

U dont have enough water in the tank for either of the biowheels to work. The 125 is an excellent filter. It has a fill line on the front of the motor and your water level is way below it.

I have the 207 on my 29 planted community fish tank. It is the best filter (in my opinion) I have ever owned. Running for 2 months now. Super clean water 0 amonia, 0 nitrates, 20 nitrates for the plants. Fluvals mechanical pads and 2 top bays full of Matrix

Tap water is usually chlorinated to kill bacteria and parasites soooo don't clean it with tap water, use dechlorinated water.

For me as a piranhas enthusiast it is very importand that they're so similar in behavior and overall shape to red bellied piranhas juveniles

Thanks for the review!
