the one you showed should be good, sump it for safety IMO
You mean run the canister with the UV thats built in?
yes. no need to buy a UV sterilizer with that
just run a new UV sterilizer imo, if its an old canister filter that has been sitting around for a while and used for FW its better to just get a plain UV filter.
good point, the uv from petco is also a powerhead
I used the filter the FW african cichlids, but I never used the UV part on it. Never needed it in that tank.
Yeah might just run and pick one up now.
just get a new UV, especially since you just got off vibrant you don't wanna have to risk dealing with weird gunk left in the canister.
Got it!
oh, also maybe pickup some carbon if you don't have any. Some cyano and dino species are a bit toxic. The carbon can help to absorb that
Thanks, I do have carbon.
nice!Ok thanks for help guys. Heading to Petco now. I ordered online and going to pick up, I had a coupon for online order, instead of 66$ it was only 55$
I have a problem currently, siphoning does not work too well. It just comes back
Siphoning does nothing to it when on its own. All I did was remove Phosphates which even then didn’t kill it off, siphon it and add a natural predator. After adding the natural predator it vanished altogether. 2 years of fighting it and all I did to get rid of it was add a predator.
