  1. How big is your tank? If its not too large you could cut the tap water with distilled. LFSs usually sell RODI water as well, if you don't want to purchase your own unit.
  2. Is AqCoOp bringing anything to the show to sell? Filters, or merch, etc? I have a couple of random things I want, but could wait, to buy them there.
  3. No, I haven't tried both in each tank at once, I'll try that tonight (had to run errands). I worry a little about stressing my fish with the swaps though, think its worth putting them in quarantine while I mess with it?
  4. Yeah, I just looked to see if I could get more. They're both 10 gallons sitting right next to each other. The only difference I can think of is that 1 has a KH of 3 and 1 has a KH of 11. Everything else is pretty much identical.
  5. Okay, now I'm even more confused... I swapped the filters from one tank to the other, and now the "bad" filter is perfect and the "good" filter is under performing? So it must be the tank water? Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
  6. I've turned the airstone up and down and everything in between with NO change. Not 'its not going to what I want' but 'its not changing at all'. I would replace the discs, but I'm out and I don't know where to get more. I did try rinsing them out, but it didn't effect it. When I say clean the filter I mean I made sure none of the airline was clogged and nothing had come loose. I love plastic dip too, all my aquariums are backed with it, but I don't mind the green of the filter. My other 10 gallon's sponge filter is working perfectly, its only one that's misbehaving.
  7. I'm having trouble with one of my sponge filters - the black background tank. Bubble size has been large and the water has been cloudy for about a week now, versus the tank with the green background. I took the filter out and cleaned it, cleaned the airstone, and even changed the airpump without getting any change. Its got a ziss airstone and I normally run it on a nano USB airpump but have swapped it to a penn plax 2k3 30 gallon. The tank is a 10. If I unplug the air pump I can blow through the tubes just fine its just.... not performing to the same level as my other tank. Any suggestions?
