Can I use this for a fresh water tank?

Yes you can! I am using it in my 5.5 gallon tank, and many others use it as well. You'll want to get around 1 pound per gallon to have the right depth for your tank.

I used it for my fresh water fish tanks over a month ago and my fish are all still very happy and healthy!

Yes, I have a beta fish in my tank. He has been happy living with the sand for a couple of months now.

I don't see why not. It should be good for any water that is hard and impure.G K P

It should be okay in fresh water, though I'm curious why you'd want to do this. I wouldn't submerge this in a brackish or salt water aquarium.It is made of chrome/nickel (not sure which) plated brass and should hold up well against corrosion, in theory. However, I think that in most situations it would be a lot more convenient if left in an accessible spot outside of the tank.

Yes, this light will work great for fresh water, and will also work for saltwater provided you are NOT growing a coral tank. If you have a "Fish Only" saltwater tank like I do, this light is great. I have this on a 30 gallon saltwater tank with no reef.

Yes you can but rinse it really good before you put it in there. And it's more brown then black, which really bothered me, so Fyi in case you want a certain color substrate. You can definitely add more but rinse it very good or it will make your tank look like crap and clog your filter.

Yes it can .. However.. U must start the unit off by using fresh water ... If u run nutes for yr plants thru the unit at any time u can Contaminate fresh drinking water .. My best suggestion is if u do deside to run nutes and use for fresh drinking water run a soft batch of bleach thru it to clean it... Hope this helps Queponz

Yes. This is to remove chlorine from the water, which is necessary before adding tap water to the tank. You can add as much salt as you want afterwards.

You can or you can not. My husband and I let it soak in the existing tank water for a bit before putting it in. This allows some of the good bacteria from the water to mix into the filter before hand.

not sure that you can put this into a regular tank. when I purchased this tank it was for exact replacement of what came out of a commercial grade tank. I would seek a plumbers advice on this. which I could help more.

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.

You can fill the tank with any water or detergent/soap. You can use plain water if you want. One tank is the clean water/solution, the other sucks it all up, so you can use any temperature. This will not heat any water, just sprays what you put in.

If you want the light to work, yes. Filtration would also be a good option in a tank this small, if its possible.

For Fresh water fish it works great and takes about 30 days before you would need to clean...also I would recommend that you add carbon filter into this canister as there is room in there as long as you remove one of the pads. : )

The package states it is for use with all Fresh Flow fountains. Hope that helps.

Yes you can; providing the water tank (which is VERY heavy when full of water) is placed on something higher than the highest shelf. It's a gravity feed system- there are no "pumps".

Yes! They are great in both fresh and salt tanks. I use mine in a fresh water tank and some in a fresh water pond too! Make sure you order a lot tho. Over 100 for a small wet dry filter. I ordered 50 and it was not close to enough! Needed about 200!

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.
