heyandrea_ Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 i have an aqua one 300F-LV Mini Internal Filter, only 3 months old. Just noticed today that it has stopped working, pulled it apart, cleaned everything out but still not responding.. anyone kno wat could be wrong? Or is it a repair job? Stupid me has lost the receipt, which i thought was with the box... Anywayz, if nothing can be done, can anyone recommend a good, reliable filter for my baby tank (25 litres) thats not going to cost the earth. Or is it better to get it fixed?

Adrienne Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I haven't had much luck with those either, just check that theres not a small stone in the way of the impellor. Baby tank (as in small tank), what about an elite shark filter, I quite like them and not too expensive or if baby tank (fry) just use a sponge filter.

Tsarmina Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Elite Mini. box says for 11L, but even in my 28L i have to keep it on low or the fish get blown around the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyandrea_ Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 how much do the elite mini filters cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 What's wrong with the good old box filter run by a pump? Ideal for a fry tank. Or a sponge filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I have an Elite Mini, threw it out last night. Was fantastic when it was new, but over a couple of months it slowed down more and more and more (even with no media in it), then last night it rattled itself to death. I'd go with either air powered undergravel, small HOB (you can get a tiny Jebo hang-on for $11 on trademe new!!), or another small internal just to replace what you have already. I've been tempted to try those Stingray filters for small tanks, but never actually bought one. Sponge filters work great for fry tanks provided they flow enough and you don't overfeed. My two fry tanks are sponge filter powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
