canister filter

Hello, I am selling a few of my Fluval Canister filters from 2022 & 2023. The filters were used to filter a 200G freshwater tank and are all in good condition. The Filter pads are in used, cleaned and in good condition and are included, media trays, and all hoses. 2 x Fluval FX6 Canister...

Heyo. I send this post today because I was woken up by my canister filter making some odd noises. Would anyone know why this is? Thank you. Video below

I am building a 60 gallon Aqueon reef and wondering how the maintenance on a fluval 407 canister filter would be. That is, how often would I have to rinse out the media and how often would I have to buy and replace the mechanical media? Also I was looking for lighting for the tank which is 48”...

Hello R2R. I am starting up a 55 gallon mixed reef tank and I wanted to share my experience. I know a lot of people in the reef community do not trust canister filters, but I want to give it a shot. These pictures of where I am right now. Here is a list of things that I have done so far not...

Looking to buy a canister filter for my tank. Prefer local pickup if there is anyone in OKC selling one

I currently use an Oase Biomaster 250 on a 20 gal tank, but I'm building a cabinet sump. I've heard of others using a canister filter instead of a return pump, the difference being that a filter sock and bio media are no longer required in the sump. Mine would just be a skimmer and a refugium...

I have a canister filter and recently bought a second one to replace my orginal one. Both have been running together for two weeks, so I’m going to take the old one out. Should I just keep the biological media and put it in the new one or use as much of the old sponges as possible. Preferably...

Tank started 2023: This is my first reef tank build and saltwater aquarium and I just wanted to document its progress. It’s kind of a simple budget build to help get my feet wet in the hobby so nothing super fancy. I’m using a fluval 307 canister filter for now and inline heater since originally...

I’m a year into reefing and really want to know if it’s better to shut my whole canister filter completely off when feeding my corals. I just got this canister filter (CF500 UV MKII) for my 55 gallon reef tank, I’ve previously had two tidal 110’s on my tank and then recently transferred all the...

Oase Biomaster thermo 600 canister filter. Has a built in heater. Heater can be removed and ran without also. Used it for 5 months. Will come with a refugium I added that works in-line with the hosing and grow light. Will also include all the hoses. Asking $150 picked up or shipped for $170...

I recently picked up a 125 gallon fish tank from aqueon that is not drilled. All of my tanks are not drilled, not that I don't like drilled, its just they seem to be a bit more money. Now all of my current tanks rely heavily on HOB protein skimmers, uv sterilizers, and canister filters. I have...

I am setting up a new saltwater tank and have installed a brand new Sicce Whale 500 canister filter. The problem is that even after following all instructions including: - no kinks in supply or return hose - no blockage to supply inlet in tank - clean canister parts including all seals -...

Newer to the hobby so sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m currently running a 60 gallon marineland aquarium with an inline canister filter. I’m looking to add a skimmer to the filtration. I’m new to the skimmers and I am planning on eventually upgrading to a sump with a 150-200 gallon DT. Are...

Hi. I have a canister sunsun hw 3000 and i'm thinking to use a prefilter on it. If I use this one (linked) plugged in the canister i will lose power of hw 3000, making less filtration per hour? Its a good choice to use a pré-filter, maybe become more easy to make cleans? Tks...

Hi. I have a 120 gallon tank here and i cant use sump system. I have a canister sunsun hw 3000 too, that i will use to filter the system. My question is: I will need a Hang on Skymmer to help the system works? If yes, give me a suggestion, please. One more question: In the canister i have 4...

Hello fellow reefers! Here's a few pictures of my softie/future LPS tank. Ive got a kenya tree, some mushrooms, GSP, Toadstool, Clove Polyp, and some Zoas (with a tunicate attached). I was just wondering what your suggestions would be for fishies once I let these guys grow out a little more! I...

I want to preface this with a disclaimer that I am a novice reefer, with under a year's worth of experience and learning all the time. That said, I've wanted to post a build thread for a while as I have the impression more and more people are using canister filters on small reef tanks, yet I...

Hello. I Would like some advice on how to change (upgrade) to a new canister filter. I currently have a Marineland canister and switching to a Fluval fx4. What filer media should I move besides the ceramic rings and bioballs (think that’s what they are called). It’s a 50gal cube btw. Do I...

Hi Friends, My name is Dylan and I had been in the marine aquarium hobby for about 15 years before selling my tank in 2016. My previous setup was 65 gal, mostly fish only, with a few inverts and soft corals. (Anemone, mushrooms, zoa's, etc.) I recently bought a used 15 Gal column (Aqueon) to...

Hello Everyone, After cleaning Canister filter with Saltwater, I see white dust is coming from canister filter. Every minute and its making my Aquarium look cloudy. I'm just worried about my fish, Did live bacteria died or something bad happened? :(
