Did you buy it online? Also make sure the tubes are attached properly. If the issue persists, you should get it exchanged

Hello

I hope the demonstration helped you. Since I don’t have any more tilapias, I moved away from this specific filter but while I was using, I never actually had any trouble. For me it was pretty solid! And I personally never used pot scrubbers but I ve seen others use it and had good results.

lol my backyard is plagued with ladybugs, it came in with the plants we brought in for the winter. As far as I know, it won’t harm your plants, but rather eat aphids if you have any!

@@MTFISHER I see. I think you should make a video showing your aquarium

@creeper6164 I have a few plant update videos uploaded already if you check my latest videos. But yeah i will soon do another update video, stay posted!

@@MTFISHER alr I'll check them out

The fish I had (Tilapias) are all gone now, it was basically a holding tank. And the canister filter really helped cause they poop way too much lol For the UV light, I personally haven’t used it so I can’t tell you about the functionality but regarding the small plastic cap, on my one, you don’t twist it, you just pull it up and it comes off. If you are still having trouble with it, let me know, I will create a quick short video demonstrating on how you open it to get access to the switch. Hope this helps!

Yes you can, holes are very small.

You can if you think your fish tank requires the extra filtration/water flow. Most people would switch to a proper size canister filter that fits their tank and only use that. But the options are there and it’s on you and what you think is the best fit for your tank!

@@MTFISHERokay, I’ll plan on getting a 206 or 207 for my 40 gallon then. I have a sorta small sponge filter I might as well leave in right? Do I need to order any more mesh besides rings and bio balls? Or does it come with it? I’m looking at the fluval 207 performance. Sorry for all the questions

Is your tank heavily stocked? A lot of waste? Do you have plants? A lot of things come in factor when choosing the right filter. With canister filters, companies will market it a certain way to grab peoples attention, for instance the fluval 207 says it filters 206 gallons of water per hour, but they usually test this without any filter media. With filter media + fish waste + food debris, the flow rate will decrease a lot. One thing people do is cut the flow rate in half (206/2 =103) since in the real world you will have filter media lol and see if your aquarium would get filtered 4-6 times an hour. Are you able to bump up to the 307? Also I was looking at the filter on amazon canada, and yes they do come with an initial setup of filter media.

@@MTFISHER alright. Yes I might be able to just more expensive and what not, I mean I’m trying to have a floor of pearlweed is slowly coming In. Around 4 bleeding heart tetras and 3 bunoes Aries testers and 2 other smaller ones.

@Zywev.rl13 Some may disagree with me but to be safe i would just go with the 307. You can keep your sponge filter if you want but if the canister filter doesn’t come with enough biological filter media, you should add more.

Abandoned that side project for now lol But I do plan on getting back to it later. Thanks for the feedback!

Good possibility! My red root floaters have taken over now lol I will post an update video soon.

@@MTFISHER ok

🙌

😂😂

I was about to, but something came up so had to cut the trip short. I am sure it would have caught a nice large mouth!

i learned that the hard way haha but with the dividers, its actually helping.

I moved away from the canister filters for now, but the tip will definitely help someone else reading the comments! Appreciate it mate!

Had to cut the trip short, so let him go. But yeah definitely would’ve made a great bait lol

Slightly improving now with the fertilizer. Let’s see what happens after a month from now!

they’ve been eaten now lol

@@MTFISHER🐟🫡

Are they a kind of cichlid?

@firstworld907 yes they are

Did you buy it from Amazon?

@@MTFISHER No I got it with an aquarium I bought on FB Marketplace.

@c3ajeff I just checked amazon canada and they sell spare parts for the canister filter.

Aliexpress has them too, if you are okay with waiting for the longer delivery time!

@@MTFISHER Yes, true but I'm looking for parts to repair mine. I don't see where I can get parts or just the head unit.

Poop video quality

“Each pineapple plant produces one pineapple, which grows from the centre of a plant on a long stalk. Like all bromeliads, once the plant has produced a pineapple it will die, but small plants or 'pups' growing at the base of the plant can be potted on to make new pineapple plants.” - GardenersWorld

That is definitely another option. I have seem many youtube videos about it. I just wanted to try something new. I will mostly likely be removing the plastic wrap I added, now that I don’t have any more big fish and only have the netting on top.

Those were only a holding tank for the tilapias, they have all been eaten now!

Those tanks were just a holding tank to grow the fish. Don’t worry, they are not suffering, we ate them all!

lol it’s usually 1.60+ here, cheaper than Van but still expensive overall!

Unfortunately with the people in power, the problem will never get solved.

Should’ve taken then video the day i was filling it up at $1.79 lol

@MTFISHER yeah it's awful the highest I've seen the gas price in n.b was $2.07 diesel was the same that day too for a good bit almost 2 weeks of that shit (used to work at a gas station)

I still remember my buddies paying extra to buy a diesel car to save on gas! Long gone the good days…

Make sure you build it properly and keep an eye on it. A lot of people had success with these, including myself, but then i had complain from a few others (because its mdf)

I am glad to hear it helped you out! Lol yeah the instructions were pretty bad!

anytime! I am glad it helped you out. 🙌

How did it exactly fail?

Sunsun primary sealing o-ring relies on the clamps pulling the o-ring down into the tapered main body. IMHO,but wilth considerable experience as an engineer, this is far less effective than an o-ring being compressed against a flat surface. ❤ If the plastic used to mould the main body is too pliable, it yields to the outward pressure of the o-ring and reduces the sealing pressure thus water gets past it. This problem is not unknown .. more than one RUclips post suggests wrapping ptfe tape inside the anular oring groove. Basically, this is intended to restore the original sealing pressure .... but highlights the flaw design and materials.

@petenewell5377 I haven’t had any issues with my canister filter so far. I did add a few extra things to prevent/slowdown a leak. I put the canister in a large tote and have the canister filter attached to a smart plug that can be controlled from my phone. That way, I can stop the filter right away if I see water spilling. Been planning to add a water sensor in the tote, so i can be alerted if water does start spilling in the tote, didn’t get to it yet lol.

the one in the video is 30 gallon, but i have now installed in a 38 gallon tank

no problem

Fish have been reduced, I’m down to 1 tilapia now, been trying to put out a new video, updated video will posted soon.

yeah thinking of getting snails!

Redoing my tanks soon, new fish, new setup! Will post videos soon!
