jolliolli Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hey Guys. Have a problem, im new to having a tank and i bought a used set up yesterday, got it and the fish home last night, and went to hook up the Aqua One Canister Filter. The connection point where i screw in the hoses to the Filter is leaking.. i believe the issue is the tap, there is a plastic part that is broken.. so i need to replace the tap, but i cant find them in christchurch? Can anyone suggest a good place? i believe they are for an AquaOne CF 1200.. I have my fish ( cold water goldfish) in a large Chilly bin at the moment, bit i dont know how long they will survive in there.. perhaps not long enough to get a new tap ordered in.. So What should i do? Any help appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquarium Dude Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Not sure but bacteria colonies in the filter will die in about 8 hours I believe :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolliolli Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Not sure but bacteria colonies in the filter will die in about 8 hours I believe :-? so i will need to buy now filters aswell if the unit isnt being used? Im a little lost as to what i should do.. the unit hasnt been used now for about 24 hours.. i cleaned the sponges in the filter as they were dirty as anything, do i need to do anything more to get it going correctly again?
