Awesome! Yeah I was on a Bio Diesel web site and they have huge filter bags too. Also they have caps for the filter bags so you can slightly pressurize your filter bag to extend the replacement/cleaning interval.

About effing time...THE most important part to fish keeping took this long for a sticky? What criteria are you using here?

Anyhow, happy to see this bible of filtration finally be rewarded...

Keeping that airpump below the waters surface could cause trouble if you loose power.....

 

[CichlidScotty]

how you mean below water??

 

[Egon]

looks like the pump is in the stand not above the fish tank, below the water.

 

[CichlidScotty]

how come it's got to be above tho? all my power cords run below/behind

 

[Egon]

If the pump stops the water will flow up the airline, if your unlucky the water will overshoot (momentum) and start a siphon and drain your tank to the level the air line is in the tank, usually the bottom........

wow I never knew of that....my power has stopped a few times, never had problems before, but that may make me wanna move the pump then......
