How to Clean a Canister Filter and Planted Tank

[@SurfinMonky240]

wow. that is genius the way you filled the tank up. mind blown.

[@belkinca2397]

Very good idea for using power head to pump water into the tank . Thanks

[@Joseph-rq6el]

Wowww that's a smart way to fill up the aquarium with internal filter power head when doing water change.. Great idea..

Hello, yeah i do not deep clean my planted tanks ever. I see some scrub the buggery out of them and then they have fish problems . I lightly hover the gravel cleaner over the substrate and get what i can such as waste and dead leaves . And i never remove the ornaments or anything, just clean the filters/pumps/intakes . I think less is more also and can upset the balance of the tank if one over does it. Thanks so much for the video, it was fantastic. \0/

Goodness the muck is a plenty! Look it 7:12 and this was the first time he done this. I'm sold on canister now.

[@SevensYouTube2023]

you made a good video. I noticed your hose lines are long. do you have problems siphoning the water?

[@PaNdeM0niuM]

Great informative video! What schooling fish are in your 29 gallon? Is that zebra danios?

[@magzire]

I throw some Evolution Aqua Bio Balls each clean, makes the water crystal clear

[@GUYANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

Have got come across leaking from the grey out side locking Handel?

[@wargamingrecon]

What kind of fish do you have in your tank? Is the long fish a bichir?

[@lorettagallegos3377]

Is it a promblem if the out take tube is in the water?

[@samnella9]

Nice video. your return and exit hoses are too long - they should not have large loops on them. No big thing.

[@SevensYouTube2023]

yeah, his hoses are to long.

[@AquariumKnowhow]

I've never run car on in my planted tanks it removes a lot of things you plants need.

[@kilthiss]

hokus pokus currently has a full outer filter

[@Brandii141]

Are the canisters too terribly hard to use and maintain? I never own one i guess too squeamish to actually try one. :)

[@charlesh2225]

Hello, Canisters can obviously hold much more biological media. Normally, they only need maintenance once per month. They are not as accessible as HOBs and more expensive, but IMHO better. Be Well

[@MsArtemis01]

+LAna St.ColumB Get a fluval canister. You will thank us later. I am a noob to the hobby and it's easy to understand. Just keep up on maintenance by reading your manual and you are good.

[@Trrondee]

nice, fix your sound plz, anoying to only get sound from left speaker.

[@reidsmith3002]

thats really thick glass for a 29 gallon tank

[@richardportelli1983]

Most of that much is actually just dirt from the substrate/dirt.

[@Tuscuttar]

Biological filtration wouldn't occur in the foam.

[@hotrodvdub]

Thomas Dunn yes it would. Have you never heard of the sponge filter?

[@thepatriotrcchannel8693]
