Anyone use this for fresh filed fish?

No, I have never used it for that purpose. I am going to assume you intend to freeze the fish after sealing, hence the reason for vacuum sealing. If my assumption is correct the way to proceed would be as follows. 1. Ensure NO pin bones remain in the filet. 2. Rinse and dry completely with paper towels. 3. Put filet in a vacuum seal bag and place in the freezer, lying flat, until the filet is VERY firm. 4. Remove from freezer and vacuum seal as you normally would. 5. Return to freezer. Hope this helps. This process also works well for steaks and pre-made hamburgers (minus the pin bones of course).

We use the Weston for beef, pork and yes for our bull head fish. Seems to work fine. If too much fluid though you have to blot dry as will not seal with too much fluid.

The sponge on the Filter-Max III Prefilter is fine enough that it has not eaten any of my livebearer fry, so I'd suggest it will solve the problem of your filter eating your fish. It is HUGE, depending on what size tank you have; takes up nearly as much space as a regular sponge filter would. I have a 75 gallon tank and use two, one to prefilter each canister filter. The connections between the plastic tubes on the Filter-Max are fussy and delicate; make sure you have the right sizes connecting to the right sizes. :)

I have used it in my kitchen for frozen fish and shrimp. There is some oder in the kitchen, but not throughout the house.

I have only used it on the exterior. An Alger brush is best for the interior when the tank is full. Any chemicals can harm the fish. It works great on the exterior and keeps down dust and little fingerprints.

Yeah, I bought some of these at a fair one time and they had them in fish bowls. I do the same, with plants also, I just clean them regularly

Ive used it in fresh and saltwater. Caught a flounder and some dogfish head "sharks" actually. I just wash it down with freshwater after to be safe. Should do the same with reels after saltwater use

I don't know. I Dont Recomended for fresh water. It don't bring the fish color like the florescent ones.

I'm not an expert fish griller, but I have used this basting brush for exactly that purpose. The advantage is the cleanup is easy, especially after using on fish. Definitely recommend.

This one is for marine but they do make one for fresh water fish also and this is one of the best brands out there. I have been using it for years and my marine fish love it.

No, it is not set up for that, fresh only. My son treated me to a Bass fishing trip in Eastern Washington state and I caught several in the 5 lb class all on this reel. It required casting a very long distance to the shore and using black sinko lure. Best fishing trip ever.

Mine will do very coarse better than ultra fine. I use it on fish all the time.

I pretty much exclusively use it in a calm salt water bay for fishing. I always thoroughly wash it down with fresh water after each day and let it completely dry before storing. Never had any problems for the 1 1/2 years using it.

This is intended for marine fish. You would be best served with something formulated specificly for fresh water fish.

I would say it would be too powerful for a 40 fresh. If your fish poops a lot I would suggest a filter, or a water change.

Well thats what I do now. I used to run the ammonia stones alone but when I saw that Marineland sells it already mixed I started to mix my own. You just have to wing it as to how much you need. Quantity of fish would be a factor. I have a Magnun 250 & mix apx 2/3 charcoal & 1/3 Ammonia stones. You can slice the filter open & reuse it or get a Magnum. Its worth it!
