    I bought a fluval 90 gallon tank with a 405 filter package. I have had nothing but trouble with this system. I don’t know if the filter is not working properly or the water in my home is a problem, but i cannot get the water to stay clear!. I use zeo carbon on the bottom tray with carbon on the next level. The next two i use the bio max media, with the top drawer also placing the polishing pad on each side of the top of the bio max. The hoses have a slight curve, but the pressure seems to be fine. The water has turned a cloudy green color and i have used algefix, and one time it did work, but i am at the beginning again. I need some help! If you could send me any information on this product i would deeply appreciate it, as i am very frustrated at this point, and ready to call it quits, Jerry.

    If your water is green your tank is getting too much light – and potentially too much food or nutrients.

    No filter can remove green single-celled algae that cause green water – you’d need to add a UV sterilizer for that which causes the algae to stick together and become big enough for the filter to catch.

    make sure your tank isn;t getting direct sunlight – and have the tank lights on for about 6 hours a day.

    Test your water for nitrate – as high nitrate is food for algae.

    Do regular partial water changes of around 25% of the volume of the tank.

    It really isn’t your filter at fault if the water is green.

    Do a goodle search for ‘fixing green water’ and you’ll see it’s a common problem among fishkeepers who have either too much light or nutrients in their tank – regardless of the type of filter they use.

    I have had a fluval edge for just over a year and it has worked fine apart from last night the filter was unplugged for a few seconds and the filter has stopped working. the fuse has been replaced and still not working, at the same time the thermostat also stopped working but is of a different brand.

    Hi I have just got myself a nice Fluval 200 Tank, but I would like to use a Fluval-305 External filter.
    But the hood on the tank does not have holes for the external filters pipes to run through…

    Is there a replacment hood panel that is built to take this filter or
    do I have to try to cut holes into it myself?

    I bought a Fluval C3 filter a month ago. Why isn’t the blog site for the C series working? Why isn’t the C3 series on the Hagen website? Yes, I’ve had people tell me it’s new and that information will be out soon, but come on! It’s been a month and the manufacturer doesn’t have at least a mention of the filter on the website…. geez.

    I recently purchased U3 filter for my 29G and I am very impressed. With not only the construction of the filter and media but its water movement. I have a 305 in a 55G and again, very impressed. Which is why I decided to get a Fluval for my smaller tank. Both are very simple to clean, filters are cheap, and have a great variety of media.

    PS. Does anyone have experience with UV lights? Do they work well/worth it? I only ask because my 55G does get some sunlight–which I can’t avoid.

Have your say
