LYNDYLOO Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I"m not sure what to do with my power filter, I had this in my Angel breeding tank about a week ago, and I ended up loosing both of my Breeding Angels and all of the babies, to some mysterious bug in the water, or something like that, still not sure what killed them all, not sure what to do with the power filter that is in the tank, that the fishies died in, I am wanting to put this filter back into my community tank, Do I need to sterilise it or something before putting it back into my community tank?, Will the bug, if there was one, be living in the sponge of the filter? Do I need to get a new sponge? Help!, not sure how to handle this problem, dont want to put it back in the community tank and then find that all the fishies in that tank die. Any help would be great.

Snowman Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 If it was mine i would give the filter a good clean out under warm water and the same with the sponge then givethem both a few days in the hot water cupboard or sun (if you can find any sun that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monaro1 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 just in case i would get a new sponge,its cheaper than replacing fish. give the filter a good clean with hot water than spray with meths and let dry for a few days,wash again and use. should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
