which more better for filter system?? top filter or canister??? any1 can help me?

ok,going to buy it after come back from outstation..thx

What happened to ur current filtration system? Whatever the reasons,  u can always keep it for future use.

still ok but not abit satisfied ,yup im keep it...juz i want my tank alway clean...

Have u got it? For comparison of price and specs, here's mine. Not so powerful but performance-wise, acceptable.

Dophin C-1600, powered 50Hz-45w. Bought in June 2009 by rm250. Operating since date of purchase until i changed to sump tank filtration. Still in good condition till now, keeping it for future project. Pic :



Roughly in the end of 2009, if i remember correctly, i changed to this pump :



Later in 2011, i changed to this brand :



Overall i'm happy with current set ups. I remember once i didnt change water for 6 months! That was a world record for me LOL

Bro, hw the submersible pump works? Cn explain arr? Better thn hob filter? Jz plug in and thats it? @@

If u havent tried that type of filter pump, brace urself and get ready to get poisoned

Basically its very simple, plug and play as u said. Currently i'm using it in filter tank, the one inside the cabinet under main tank.

I have another pump for my turtle tank, which placed in the main tank itself. I cover it with plastic ware to prevent it being bitten by naughty turtle. See pic :



Honestly, i never wana change to other type of pumps after i tried this. The only option i can think for now, is the power output

The pump need any othr equipments, lk tube etc2? Is tge mechanical filtration good? It will suck everything at the bottom of the tank?  Bro, hob better or submersible better?

This system is considered the best among other filtration systems. Sump filter is a filtration system using a tank to 2 with the small size of the place it under  the main aquarium table  . Small aquarium serves as a filter box. The main tank should be perforated before the paired pipe to drain water to the tip of a small tank underneath that clean water will then be returned back to the main tank with the engine powerhead. By relying on gravity, the system is able to suck up dirt from the bottom. Sump filter is very easy to cleanbecause is situated within easy reach . To maintain the beauty of the aquarium, pools / table aquarium can be closed so that the tank filter is not visible underneath.

Okay i found a useful website to explain this, here


Yes it requires tubing or piping works. But thats how it can be fun and interesting. Pipe as u wish, size as u want. U can even use normal garden hose as tubes, but i suggest PVC pipes. Combination of few materials can add to the excitement as well.

Wow! Thats a lot of wrk!  Means if juz a submersible pump cn work? As in straight take plug in nd withouth any tubing or sump.  Sorry, no experience  in this. Haha. 3ft tank dont need that so complicated folter riteee? Haha.

Actually, its very easy. U can even use submersible pump with ur top filter. The principle is same with ur top filter powerhead pump, only with greater power.

Usual powerhead pump for top filter is usually about 18w (which pumps about 1250L/hour), while submersible pumps are way more powerful.

When my mom bought her 4' aquarium, it comes with 1800L/hour pump. Later she complained the water got cloudy very fast, until i changed the more powerful pump (60w, 3000L/H, see pic below) and she was happy with the performance. I keep her old pump for future project. Sometimes i used it to drain water from my tank, still a lot faster than natural syphon

Will the fish pellets sucked into the pump ? Since it has a greater power.

diy la the sump tank/cannister type bro...much worth it..i'm also gonna diy it next project using 4/5 giant tier racks.

Most recommended. Can do much customization here and there. And also, the satisfaction

Nt that pro n free yet la. Maybe after my studying life, wil do tat type and build a big aquarium w. Haha Xp
