Yes I've been using this particular internal filter for a few year now. I was thinking about placing the sponge media in the 107? I might have to change my planned layout if I run both filters. For substrate, I'm going to use a base layer of jbl aquabasis plus topped with jbl manado. I'm...

I'm not running the 107 yet but I think theres room in one of the baskets to put my internal filter sponge. Hopefully my substrate and plants arrive on Tuesday and I'll set everything up together then and I'll also take plenty of pics to document my progress.

15g low tech tank with a school of neon tetra. I plan to change substrate to a combination of aquabasis plus and jbl manado and heavily plant it. I also have some Dragon stone to hardscape. I'd like a school of ember tetra to compliment the neons. Seperately I'm also setting up a new 15g tank...

I had been neglecting my tank a bit as of late so I'm rejuvenating it by giving it a complete makeover, changing substrate, new hardscaping etc. I'm also switching filters as I don't like the space my internal filter takes up and I want to go for an iwagumi style set-up. Anyway, my question is...

thanks for the advice guys.i'll try tying it with fishing line

i'm getting some peacock moss today mainly for my shrimp and i'm attaching it to my amtra redwood and my ship ornament.is it possible to lay the moss down and have it attach without tying it with fishing line?

i'm about to upgrade to a Juwel Rio 240 (121 x 41 x 55cm) and according to the fish shop website the particular model i'm getting has a bioflow 3.0 filter with a 600 pump.   now, on aqadvisor it doesn't have this spec on the dropdown menu,the closest thing is the bioflow 3.0 +400 pump but...
