Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / July 2004Crack in filter :O
Tonight I came home to find my Penguin 330 dripping water all over the floor. Water water everywhere. Took it apart looking for a crack, and found it right under where the biowheel goes. So...now I need a new filter. This is the second Penguin to crap out on me this year, so I don't want another one. Anyone have a good recommendation? (46 gallon tank with 3 goldfish, now filtered by a Fluval 204) I never had any issue like that with Aquaclear (hagen) ...Kodiak > Tonight I came home to find my Penguin 330 dripping water all over the floor. > Water water everywhere.

But I don't understand you: what's wrong with using the Fluval-204? I just recently switched my 20G to a Fluval-104 and couldn't be happier. It's quieter, allows the tank to sit closer to the wall, and cleaning it is a breeze. Gunther But I don't understand you: what's wrong with using the Fluval-204?

The Fluval is fine, it's just not enough for the tank. I'm a 2-filter kind of girl. (Plus it's a PITA sometimes to restart after maintenance, but I can live with that.) > Gunther Welcome back. -D  Signature"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe GiveMeABMW, Go with the AquaClear filters by Hagan. They work great and are easy to clean, as far as hang on filters are concerned. A very good unit.
