Aquarium Sponge

How much will an aquarium sponge filter cost in India ?

I want a good sponge filter for my 60 liter aquarium.Tell me its approximate price in India (in rupees).Only Indians answer this question.

I don't know which sponge filter u have in your mind. I suggest that u may use Tropi's water filter which r best & costs around Rs 350/- to Rs 450/- . Sponge/wool cotton filter used with air pump is also available in the market which may cost around Rs 50/- but they r not effective. There r other types of filters too in the market which serve as filter cum air pump but these disturb the water too much thus fishes too. These costs around Rs 500/-.

Use any filter once or twice a week for few hours & clean it too so that dirt collected in the filter may not make the water murkier.

External Aquarium

My 400gal saltwater aquarium needs two external sump pumps. What are the best pumps for a reasonable price?

The sump has two outlets for connecting pumps and I am only running one dolphin pump currently. I want to buy two new proper pumps that can push the water up about six feet of piping into the tank with a minimum combined flow rate of 1100gph.

I run Pentair Rainbow Lifegard Quiet One pumps (two) on my 185 and am happy with them. I'm assuming that there is six feet of head per pump. Based on this to get 1100 gph you need two of the Model 4000. With these the charts say you will get 1200gph (combined).

An aquarium filter plays an important role in keeping the fishes in your aquarium healthy. It helps to keep your aquarium water free from pollutants which can cause harmful effects to the health of your fishes. Unless you change the water everyday, an aquarium filter is essential in your aquarium. There are several types aquarium filters available in the market. Some of these fish tank filters are described below.

Canister filter

An aquarium canister filter combines mechanical, biological and chemical filtration. It is a unit which contains a filter chamber for filter media and an electric pump for circulating water. The water from the aquarium enters the canister filter, is pumped up through the filter media, and flows back to the aquarium. The filter chamber consists of several filter media such as sponges, carbon (charcoal) and ceramic medium.

There are external and internal aquarium canister filters available. An external aquarium canister filter has inlet and outlet pipes for water to flow from and to the aquarium. Whereas for the internal aquarium canister filter, it has slits for water to flow into the filter and an outlet from the pump. It is commonly placed on the floor beneath the aquarium or attached to the back of the aquarium glass. Aquarium canister filters have the capacity of filtering several hundred gallons of aquarium water per hour. The benefit of this type of aquarium filter is that its output can be adjusted to any part of the tank.

Undergravel filter

An aquarium undergravel filter is a plastic plate placed between the substrate and the aquarium base with uplift pipes. Water is being drawn down, passing through the substrate, and returned through the uplift pipes. The aquarium undergravel filter is considered as an excellent method for biological filtration. The benefit of this filter is that as the inlet is the whole aquarium base area, there is no way that wastes can escape from being processed. There is a large amount of filter medium available for bacterial colonization. The disadvantage of an aquarium undergravel filter is that when the system gets clogged, the cleaning task requires a major upheaval.

Undergravel filters are most suitable to be used in aquariums which do not have big rocks or decorations blocking large sections of the gravel bed. If such big rocks exist, the block plates would create dead spots on the filter. For udergravel filters, it is preferable to use regular gravel substrate as smaller substrates will tend to fall through and larger ones tend to hide huge amounts of debris.

Sponge filter

An aquarium sponge filter provides biological filtration. It consists of a perforated plastic tube fitted with a cylindrical sponge. The tube is attached to an air pump. It draws the aquarium water through the sponge, which acts as a medium for trapping bacteria. As a sponge filter does not have the tendency of having young fishes being sucked up into the filtration unit, it is suitable for use in aquariums with small fishes. Sponge filters are also good to be used in quarantine tanks where fishes are placed for treatment. This is because sponge filters have no chemical filtration which can affect the effectiveness of medications being used for treatment. As sponge filters only provide biological filtration, they are not suitable to be used in large tanks which have higher filtration requirements. This type of fish tank filter is mainly used in aquariums with low filtration needs.

Aquarium filters provides filtration which is essential in all aquariums in order to keep the clean for the fishes to live well. The above are some types filters used for aquarium filtration. These filters provide different level of filtration needs. You can consider using these filters based on the needs of your aquarium. Please visit Aquarium Filter website for more information.

Live Moss Balls Help ?

i am thinking about getting some moss balls for my aquarium.

Yea you should get them if you want too.

When they get bigger it will eventually float, so it needs to be broken into smaller pieces to keep that from happening. This plant is very good for a beginner It does not require CO2 or high light levels. It can live in light from very dim to very bright. Your fish may even have a game of soccer and kick the moss ball around in their tank. Its even goldfish safe.

good Luck!

in which direction of the home can keep fish aquarium as per feng shui?

in which direction of the home can keep fish aquarium as per feng shui? my son loved it but i am little particular about the placing of such thing related to feng shui, so please help if anyone knows it.

it is difficult to precisely know where to put an aquarium. because you need to measure your house's main front door - what precise degree it faces. then using flying stars, calculate the flying star chart of the house. wshen you have this chart, it will show you the energy distribution of the house. basically, you want the aquarium (considered as moving water in fengshui) to be located in the area with current water (money) star with a good energy combination (in flying stars method, different energies combine, interact and react together to form new energy, which is distinct and has its own characteristics; this characteristics becomes your life when you live in this area more... or in fengshui term "activate this area"; another way to activate is to keep moving objects in this area; water is a powerful thing, because it is one of the elements, so using a moving water thing would be great; just remember that moving water can "activate" both good energy and bad energy; when bad energy is activated, then accidents and expenses happen.).

another thing, the only general thing about aquariums is that you dont put them in bedrooms or in bathrooms, as these things can complicate life more.

in flying stars method, direction and location are 2 different things. location is more important as faras aquariums are concerned.

Preparing Tropical Fish Aquariums Before Adding Fish

Owning tropical fish can be a fun and enjoyable hobby for anyone, especially those with children who want pets that they know aren't going to growl or snap at the kids! They're relatively easy to care for and don't need to be walked, groomed, or scooped up after. But as easy as they are to take care of there are some things you need to do in order to prepare tropical fish aquariums before you actually add any fish. Just buying one and filling it with water isn't enough for your fish to be happy and healthy in any way. So what do you need to do to tropical fish aquariums for them to be ready for your new pets?

For one thing most tropical fish aquariums have been sitting around for some time or have been packed in boxes to get sent to your pet supply store. They're usually pretty dusty or even dirty when you get them home; if they're used of course they'll need to be cleaned under any circumstances. But one mistake that many people make with tropical fish aquariums is using harsh cleansers or bleach to get them clean. Any cleanser you use and especially bleach is going to leave a residue no matter how much you rinse and wipe it away, and this residue is going to be very bad for your fish. A damp rag and lots of hot water is usually best for cleaning tropical fish aquariums, and remember that acrylic ones can't be scraped with a straight edge the way you can scrape glass as this will scratch them. Avoid steel wool rags and pads.

It's also important to prepare your decorations and any wood you're going to add to tropical fish aquariums. Sometimes the substrate or gravel you purchase will have dirt and debris, so put it in a bucket and fill it with water just enough to cover everything. Give this a stir and let it sit overnight; the next day, empty out the water and then add more, stirring it again. Repeat this process until the water is clear and this will tell you that all that residue is gone and you can now add the substrate to your tank.

Of course adding your accessories to your tropical fish aquariums is also important. You want to attach your filter and your heater and make sure they're both working properly, and give them a few days to treat the water in the tank, before adding fish to any tropical fish aquariums. Even if the tap water you've added feels warm to you it's important that you get an accurate temperature reading, and that your pH levels and other chemicals are healthy for your fish.

If you do all of these things before adding fish to tropical fish aquariums and then work to maintain it after with regular cleaning, maintenance, and a check of the water chemicals, you're sure to have happy and healthy fish.

Aquarium Fish Pump
Any disadvantage with an Aquarium with air pump,but no filter?

I have a 16 gallon(16 liter) aquarium with an air pump, but, I do not have a filter.Is there any problem with that?I have 4 fishes(2 small sharks & 2 mollies) since 6 months but they are still healthy.How do I maintain the aquarium without filter for good results.I have an air pump.

The pump does nothing for the water quality. As for the fish being healthy, they don't keel over to make a point and chances are they are in some degree of suffering.

For good results you invest in a filter in which good bacteria will grow and eat up and convert toxic ammonia to less toxic nitrate. Without this these levels will build up, water changes just dilute it.

Question about my aquarium and how many fish to keep?

Hi im new to fish keeping i bought a 55litre tank a few weeks ago, last week i bought 5 glow-light tetras and today i bought 4different typed mollies and 1 Male siemse fighter.
My question is how many do you think is a good amount to fill my tank without over crowding the fish?
Next week i would like to buy 2 Female Siamese fighters cause there a beautiful fish and some 3 Angel fish,
then maybe the week after some Neon tetras and maybe 1 catfish
Does anyone think this would be too much? The guy at the store says no it won't but i would like a second opinion, thanks

1 liter = 0.264172052 US gallons

You're working with roughly 14.5 gallons and that's really not enough room for all the fish you want to keep. I think you're pretty much full with the 10 fish you already put in there. You're adding too many at a time as well. The tank's balance will be thrown out of whack each time you drastically change the bioload.

Did you cycle the tank for a few weeks beforehand? If not, your fish will probably have to endure the cycling process and you may start seeing adverse effects on the fish such as ammonia burns or nitrite poisoning in weeks to come. Have you been testing your water to chart the cycling and the water's parameters?

I also wouldn't consider putting a male with female betta except for brief encounters after both have been conditioned for breeding. Otherwise, someone is bound to get hurt, especially in a small tank that doesn't provide enough hiding places and "territories" for all the inhabitants. Female bettas can be kept together in groups of no less than three so that the dominant female isn't picking on a single fish. Males could be torn apart by females not interested in his advances and the long fins would hinder his escape.

Angel fish need a very tall aquarium, at least 30 gallons (136.5 liters), because they grow both in length and in height. They are also skilled hunters and won't hesitate to feed on smaller tankmates. A male betta would be a prime target because they are bred for large fins, not for speed. An angel would rip him apart.

Please be sure to research any and all fish you consider keeping to be sure that your plans will work out longterm.
