I am not familiar with your filter, but in my 55 gallon with Discus I have two 100ml bags of purigen in a Large 60 Whisper Filter. I put the purigen bag between the filter pad and the sponge tray which I turn around. I usually change once a month with replacement 100ml bags and regenerate the old bags. Note from Purigen: Exhaustion is indicated by discoloration, and it can be regenerated easily. For marine and freshwater aquariums. 100 ml treats up to 100 gallons, for up to 6 months.

it depends on the filtering system, but i think 2 500ml should do the job, as i use 2 500ml bottles for my 60 gallon tank.

There are different size filters for different size tanks. So that's why there is different size cartridges. Sounds like u need the large.

it depends on the load on the filters. i have two large cichlids that are housed in a 125 gal aquarium and mostly feed them live minnows. the pellets seem to be alot of waste because when they eat them about half escapes out their gills and mouth. monitor your aquarium regularly withe a test kit. this will help you get a feel of how often you need to change carbon and zeolite media if that is what your going to use. love the penn-plax filters best bang for your bucks!

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

I would always go larger than what I need. I have a 55 gallon with big oscars and I bought the xpl rated for 175 gallons. A bigger filter allows more water fitter action per minute and turtles are pretty dirty. My son has 4 turtles in a 45 gallon with a filtration platform plus a xp filter 4.

The amount is determined by the size of your filter. My guess is you have a 60 gal filter with a 32K gal pool. If that is the case 3lbs is plenty as a 60 gal filter only needs 15 cups (cup is included in the bag).

I have a 55 gal. aquarium with a mid-divider. I purchased 2 glass sets. Each double sided panel set measures " 23 &#8539; Width x 9 &#8540; Depth or (11 D w/ the plastic extender added)". I added the plastic sections and custom cut the plastic extender to fit around the return filters for each division. As long as the 75 gal. model had a mid-divider with the same openings of 23 &#8539;" x 9 &#8540;" or 11 ", it should fit.

i think 2 of hydor koralia 1500 is too much on the 55 gallon tank. i have a smallest one(550-600gph) on my 35 tank(fresh water), and the size(not power level) a kind of big on the tank, it will bother your view for the tank. i feeling too much stuff on my simple iwagumi tank.other thing is 2 of 1500 maybe too strong to running the water to messed up your plant or decorations. if you want to get 2 of those on it , small one is good enough .

I have filter pad on bottom then carbon then bio. Bet useing it like this for months. Now I have it on a 55 gal and still have crystal clear water with 4 turtles.

I'm also having this issue. None of the filters here on Amazon seem to be the requisite (approximately) 6-3/4 diameter that would work. Right now I'm thinking I'll buy this larger size Counter Composter Replacement Filters: Large 2 Gallon, and cut it down to the correct size. It may be something that could be purchased elsewhere, but I'm just not finding it on Amazon. It is more than a bit frustrating!

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in

If you're running fresh water, you'll need an air pump, some air tubing, and an air stone. I also use a bag of Purigen in all of my tanks. It's a great all purpose filter media that can be regenerated with bleach so you don't have to keep buying it like carbon or other medias.None of this is expensive. You can get all of the above for less than $30 and it will help your tank quite a bit.

For a res tank, in the bottom basket i used Fluval bio max media, and in the second basket use pre-filter media. For the top basket, the best results i found were with 2 activated carbon bags. This combination will have your water crystal clear and odorless

I have a 150g set up with two canister filters. I have two of these, one on each filter.

I currently have sponge filters connected to 12 10-gallon tanks, 2 20-gallon tanks, and 2 29-gallon tanks. Please note that the fish are mostly guppies and cories so they don't need that much aeration. I could probably connect more tanks if needed.

You need to replace the sponges IMMEDIATELY with a better filter medium. Look through the reviews and you will find what to use. Otherwise this is a great, quiet little filter for very small aquariums.
