I have a 300L (120*50*50cm or roughly 47*20*20 inches) aquarium with one HW704B but it struggles to keep the water clear so I just bought a HW3000, hope with these 2 combined water will be ok

yup in my cart. Fall upgrade for when the turtles come back inside.

I've got the 304B, and the telescopic intake is what I need.

Great looking filter, some nice up grades from the 704b,flow control etc.I like my Sunsuns in general good budget filters for sure.I know you use FX6, but have you looked at the new Aquael Hypermax 4500.i also run one off these awesome filter....But Sunsuns definitely best budget filters.Great Video, Great Channel .

I love how informative your video is. Do you recommend using silicone grease around the rings? Is it ok to keep the ceramic media on the bottom and the filter floss and charcoal on top? Thanks.

@LongLiveYourTurtle Ай бұрын

Thanks! You could use silicone to help longevity of the o-ring but I dont typically. I would put the filter floss on the bottom, bio media in the middle and charcoal on top if you want the tried and true aquarium filter cycle.

as of August 4th 2024 I’ve noticed the my turtle heater stopped working. It won’t produce any heat and the water is freezing cold. Idk what to do cause I can’t afford a new heater😭

Ok for priming since the other models really suck to prime. I use a powerhead or mini pump to forces feed the unit (through the intake) till it pushes the air out and runs on its own. the other thing I have done was fill the filter up with water before closing the top. Hope this takes some frustration away from other users.

@LongLiveYourTurtle 2 ай бұрын

Oh that’s a great idea! Priming was a huge pain. Thanks for sharing!

In another video I saw someone only open the output lever to fill the canister after they cleaned it and it fill the canister back. Perhaps that’s the reason for both levers on the manifold.

what size of this tubing, ID and OD ? I'm thinking to buy filter and to make it complete setup to but poop separator, but I need to know the tubing diameter. 12,16 or 20 ? Thank you

If the UV is placed along the input, wouldn't there be no bacteria to enter the filter and populate the bio media within?

@LongLiveYourTurtle Ай бұрын

The bacteria grows on the bio media not in the water column. The trays block the UV from hitting the biological media.

@garyhwk1 Ай бұрын

@@LongLiveYourTurtle i agree however if i pour seachem stability directly into my tank, the bacteria in the water column would have to travel into the inlet pipe before reaching the bio media in the canister. My fear is that the bacteria would be depleted by the uv bulb as it enters the canister before reaching the biosenser within. it would make more sense to me if the uv bulb was placed just before the outlet pipe. i actually just received my hw3000 but am hesistant to turn on the uv bulb. i hope i make sense

@TroySchuler Ай бұрын

@@garyhwk1some people don’t use the bulb for the reasoning that it can break down the plastic over time. Not sure if it’s true, but I’ve heard it on numerous reviews.

@garyhwk1 17 күн бұрын

@TroySchuler it's true. So after the uv has served it's initial purpose of say removing algae, you could switched it on for 4-6 hourly a day instead of 24hrs to prolong the plastic. The plastic will degrade over time with exposure to uv

Hi Just wanted to let you know that wood cave That you have in your aquarium.That cave is not meant to be put in water like that.I know believe me I had one in my aquarium After three years I noticed there was slime all over the cave and my tank started getting foggy And the slime was all over my water.I took it out and I threw it away then I called Petsmart And told them what happened they told me that that cave is not meant to be put in aquarium with water it's only meant for Snakes geico Lizards That are in aquarium without water. Amazon has caves that it will be safe for our turtles and fishes.

@justinwursten7234 2 ай бұрын

I'm curious if you think having any of the charcoal or the little black balls or anything else is worth it? Or just all the ceramic media?

@LongLiveYourTurtle 2 ай бұрын

While the charcoal works to an extent, the gain is not worth the effort as you need to replace it periodically. The bio balls are ok but ceramic rings are just as good/better for a filter like this where space is limited.
