Need some advice

[Darren Carter]

Hi guys basically I have a fluval 125l tank roma had a problem a month a go where I lost all my fish water was fine we think it was parasites possibly my local fish store checked my water etc any way shut the tank down and throw the media for my fluval 306 and 206 external filters which I ran in it but now looking at replacing it all but I’m possibly looking at selling both filters and getting the fluval g3 wondered if any one has experience with them are the good and are they better than the 06 range of external filters thanks in advance

I am not familiar with the fluval g3. It doesn't really matter which filters you use, as long as it provides enough filtration/turn over.

What were the symptoms of the fish deaths? Parasites are unlikely to kill all fish. Although all fish can be affected, some will succumb, others won't, or at least not altogether at once.

Hello Darren,

Welcome to UKaps.

It doesn't really matter which filters you use, as long as it provides enough filtration/turn over.

As per sciencefiction comment above flow in a planted tanks is very important, whatever filter you use try to achieve around 10x changes, so in your setup you are looking for a filter rate to provide 1250l per hour.

i have not used a fluval g3, but seem to have good reviews. the maintenance on these filter seem much easier that some other brands.
