Hi. Yeah I did try soaking it for a long time, but the impeller is just totally stuck. I am away at the moment, but will try the heating and ice thing, but I think it ran dry and was left on for a considerable amount of time so basically welded itself in place. I will try some WD40 maybe. I have...

Hi Guys Not posted for a while. I had to leave my last tank unattended for a while and the external water pumps ran dry. The impeller is completely seized up. I was just wondering if there is anyway this can be recovered. It's one Eheim and one Tunze pump. Would be annoying to have to throw...

I ended up using steel pipes designed for car exhaust parts. They never rusted and worked very well. If you like the industrial look then good, but not very Amano. You can see them in the tank in my Signature. S

Hi How often do you rinse you bio balls, or whichever bio media you are using? How often do you replace your bio media? Does anyone else use their old bio media as mechanical media. I have just started doing this as I have 3 filters and media is quite expensive. Seems like a sensible idea in...

I had a sunsun but took the impeller out and powered it externally for various complicated reasons. Anyway after a while I realised the seals were not working and the inlet was pretty much feeding straight in to the outlet. No filtering was taking place. It mar have been because I was...

Noise is a big issue for me cos my tank is next to my bed. I have 2 Eheim 2224s running and they are pretty much silent. R

Thanks Dave. No it is used externally to power the mechanical filter (long story) Sorry to say this, but I had to send back 3 Vortech MP40s because they were too noisy. Funnily enough I am now looking at a Tunze nanostream, so good to know they are quiet. Although noise aside, the Vortech is...

Hi Guys I have my aquarium next to my bed, so silence is valued above all else when it comes to equipment. I bought the Tunze "silence" 3,000lph a month or so ago and have found it to be anything but. Even having let it bed in and having done all I can to dampen vibrations it still hums a...

I do this... It works. (Edit) Sorry that wasn't very specific, was in a hurry. I have separate canisters for Mech and Bio. The Mech powered by a external pump, with the bio being a normally running Eheim on a loop off the main loop. Think like the handle on a t cup. Does that make sense, if...

I have a complicated filter setup because I have a low cabinet and so cannot buy a filter that is large enough, that will fit. I have made a filter from two unpowered pond cannister filters and a powerhead. The trouble is the aquarium is right next to my bed and the 3,000lph pump is too noisy at...
