Can I use this tank for a freshwater setup?

Yeah but you really don't need this much for a freshwater tank I wouldn't recommend this for that unless you have strict space limitations or just like the look.

yes. the display area is smaller than a typical 16 gallonl fresh water set up. But it will look super sexy with all the wires and tubes, heaters, etc behind the display area.

Yes, I used it as a freshwater tank. However, there are better alternatives for freshwater that are cheaper and give you much more tank space for the same footprint. I retired my Nuvo and went to a standard tank with a hang on filter. Also, small fish (I had the problem with a couple of loaches) can get into the filter through the overflow and it is next to impossible to get them out- there are almost no saltwater fish small enough to be a problem.

sorry I accidentally hit the yes button. I am going to say no because fire belly meets need larger space, not only that but the door would let the water out that it also needs. and it is not big enough for a filter that the newt would need as well. only good for baby geckos and tree frogs which is what I use it for. I would go for a regular ten gallon tank for those guys!!!

You'd have to look at the measurements of the tank. I got this for my 30 gal tank.

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.

I do believe you can. Check out the Forney 87798 and Forney 87801 tank adapters on Amazon for this purpose.

Probably not. This tank really is barely big enough for 1 beta fish. A couple of glofish is about capacity, despite what the Glofish company puts on the box.

"Maybe. The Hydor is fairly large and 1050 gph in a 40 gallon freshwater tank may be too much..."I 100% agree to this comment, I was using the 850 gph model in a 46 gallon saltwater tank, and that was a lot of flow. Freshwater tanks typically require a lot less flow than saltwater, so I personally would recommended someting in the 350-500 gph range.

I just replaced an old one. I am not sure if you can just put one of these in any tank. Also I have 3 in my house and have replaced them fairly often.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

It should be fine. If you have a heavily populated tank you might consider a larger unit or be prepared to empty the collection cup more frequently. I ran mine for over a year and a half before I upgraded to a bigger tank and never had a problem with it.

you can but i would use the model RP90 with built in uv sterilizer for freshwater it will help a Great Deal with parasites such as ICK.

I would say yes - I had mine in a one gallon plastic tank with no problems. FYI - when you change the water, make sure you unplug the heater, even if it's just going to be out of the water for a little bit. It will overheat pretty quickly and quit working. Voice of experience :-(

I think fitting a new filtration system in the place of this one is possible because it just hangs at the back of the tank. If you don't overload the tank this filtration system is just perfect. I have 3 tetras and two dwarf frogs and this filtration hasn't failed me .. great tank overall !

Hi, Yes this tank can hold water! However their are no specs that say's that is will be equipped to hold a full tank of water that fish require.

This tank is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater as far as I know. I got mine from a friend and he had a small nano reef in it for over 3 years without any problems. I have a freshwater aquascape and a Betta male in it and it's fine as well.

This "tank" is only 2 gallons and the surrounding air in your home should be warm enough for any fish that would be suited for this little tank. Also, it's plastic, a heater would probably damage it...

It would have to be a pretty huge aquarium. There are probably cheaper alternatives more suited for aquariums. This is a whole house unit. Installing it would probably take avery experienced aquarium tech and/ or a plumber
