I can't remember what the filter was for the 350 as it has been an age since we had them in the shop. I think the early ones had under gravel, followed by internal filters later. I think the 350 has been discontinued so I don't have any vids for that. Its the time of year when companies do trade shows etc. so I should get some more DVDs from our suppliers before the end of the year so there should be new tank uploads coming soon.
Well you have money and im a kid without any money so i wanna find sumthing reusable please let me know if you find anything thanks for all the advice
There are loads of reuseable stuff you could put in there, but it wouldn't do the job of charcoal or zeolite. One of the best filter media for small spaces is clay beads - they have a masive surface area for bacteria to colonise. On steep hills they are used off to the sides of roads as escape lane material as when a vehicle goes in, they crush and slow it down. Make sure you boil them firts to get rid of any pollutants and take them from the top end of the escape lane - they will be cleaner.
You could use Zeolite. It absorbs ammonia and nitrite and can be recharged by putting into a saline solution. Not sure of the exact process as we generally just replace zeloite and carbon, then you know for a fact it will do a job for you.
As they bind pollutants they have a limited life and they are recommended to be changed every 8 weeks. The media BAGS for some of the external filters are reuseable, but not the carbon within them.
Pumps each have their own noise level, just like people or dogs.
I think that I would have done the same - the CF filters are good and provide better filtration than the standard overhead unit. Using it in addition is a great idea.
can someone tell me if sand is better or if gravel is better?

If you watch the video about that question in my playlist 'Aquariums and advice' there are plenty of answers there.

wheres the out take on the filter
DoYouLikeWaffles85 11 months ago
Just above water level, below the lid.
pondguru 11 months ago
@pondguru oh but why not a nozzle. is the filter to small to fit one on it
DoYouLikeWaffles85 11 months ago
The filter outlet comes out by gravity so it can't be a aerating nozzle like an internal filter would have on it.

The UFO look the same no matter what size as they are all basically a quarter circle. The 700 is 700mm long each straight side.

I would help, man- but I have no idea about marine equipment as we don't deal in marines.
pondguru 2 years ago
can you place salt water fish in this aquarium ? im abit unsure
wiggledibble 2 years ago
You will need extra equipment which doesn't come with the tank. Best ask a shop that deals in marine fish.
pondguru 2 years ago
@wiggledibble yes just add salt mix to the tank water and get some live plants, or buy those copy coral plants for the fish.

Juwel are good tanks but very expensive to replace the foams with 'proper' replacements. Some nice designs though.

Are carbon media bags reusable?

I have the 880 and I found the powerhead to be way too loud so I now use a CF filter and its return line connects to the overhead filter.
