Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Modifying a power filter

Ok so i saw a post a while ago about putting an air stone in the bottom of a HOB power filter and basically turning it into a wet/dry trickle filter. is this worth doing? has anyone done it? it seems like it would work but you never know

I don't know what a wet/dry trickle filter is, but go for it and tell us how you make out.

Never heard of that option before... placing an airstone inside the media chamber of HOB... interesting!

I don't believe it will work as neatly as a Wet/Dry sump filter but... interesting nevertheless. I might give it a try with one of my AquaClear filters.
