I know you can order tanks drilled for different filter set up's, like a combined system in a pet store. As for how to connect the tubes, I know they make smaller fittings out of PVC for the central...

They have diffusers cheap on ebay with shipping some are around $10.

The hole is smaller than the tygon tube, I think too small. Still has leaks.

I have access to a lab, where I can get 2L Erlinmyer (sp) recieving flasks W/ stoppers & glass tube to hook the tygon...

I just thought a DIY system was better than nothing.

Not having a lot of luck getting mine going. Doesn't seem to make enough pressure to go from under the cabinet to the bottom of the 75 where...

I just did my own today. Not sure about the amounts to mix. How much fresh yeast do you use?

I'll probably pick up a couple more next time I get to the pet shop.

Not sure if I want to add that many more fish.

It's a 75 W/ 1 wisper 30-60 & a Rena XP3.

Tank has:
12 Neon Tetra's
3 platties
3 guppies

Just bought the Fluval bio media. Only 1 500g package. I'll probably add the Rena stars as well next time I take the filter apart.

Any Bio media any better than the others? I was just going to go to petco or petsmart and get whatever was the cheapest.

I have 1 juli cat in my 75 tank. It is heavily planted. My question is should I be putting in special food for him, like sinking pellets, or will he get enough food scavenging the bottom?

I just bought a Rena XP3 for my 75 community tank. I thought it would come complete with everything to set it up, but I guess not. As far as how to set up the baskets.....It came with several...

Any Pic's of the completed set up?

Looks more involved than I thought it was. I just thought you put yeast, sugar & water in a 2 liter bottle and run tubbing to the tank. guess not. :)

Keep up posted, I may do this too.

Do they still make the AP dry tab test kits. I always like those better than the liquid ones. I just have not been able to find them. I may just buy a HACH kit through work. Just need to find what...

Just bought a Rena XP3 for $86 on ebay. :)

Went by today on the way home from the dentist. Too late, it was gone.

Top 2 choices now are Ehiem ecco 2236 from petco or the Rena XP@ online for $99 shipped.

Still looking for imput. I...

Thanks,

A LFS has a used rena canister filter for sale. Not sure what they want for it, I was in a hurry and did not ask. It's over in a used section. It just says XP on the sticker on the back about how...

Looking for a reptile forum similar to here. any info?

Thanks,

Just read some reviews on the petco web site. Changed my mind on the Fluval. Not worth taking a chance of the fishtank ending up on the living room floor. They seem to have a lot of problems with...
