Filter Question

Ok so I have an filter inside of my 6 gallon at the moment. For my re-vamped 10 gallon I was going to use a filter that hung on the side, but since I wouldn't be able to get a hood that would work for that I decided not to. Instead I am going to get another one of the filters I already have and have them both in the new 10 gallon. The tank will be split into four 2.5 gallons, so where should each filter be. One in each far end?

One in each end will be great:) Keep your filter you already have going, and when its time to put it in the new tank, swap half the media with the new media of the new filter.
Alternatively, pop the new filter in the 6g you have until your 10g is ready, and as long as the flow isn't too high, have it running right next to the other one. This will help start the cycle of the new filter:)

you want to know where to place them when the tank is divided

this was my 60litre divided

The four sections

The filter tubing to circulate the water in the tank

Well they are Tetra Whisper in tank filters so I can't do the media swap thing. And an update on the female betta that has the gash is that the gash has changed to a fleshy orange color now and she is a lot more active today than yesterday :D

can you add a tube to the end of the filter to do a spray bar type thing

by **ReptileLuver729** Wed 22 Jul 2009 - 1:02

No I don't think so...This is what the filter looks like-

I dont think you can add a tube, so one at either end. I would place them so they point towards eachother (i.e. at the divider).

Good news that your female is more active thumbup
