if this is the RFC-BBSA should be good for 10,000 gallons and 6 months 25 micron? the RFC-BBS is 225 micron 5000 gallons and 3 months?

Sorry can't help on that...suggest ask The Culligan Man..their customer support is pretty good.

We have a well with soft water that comes through a coal vein. We thought we could "get by" with a lesser filter but found out the RFC-BBSA filter last us about three months but MY! what a difference - It's Clean!

It is the RFC-BBSA 25 micron, and should be good for 6 months, 10,000 gallons.

Did you mean change frequency? It is recommended change frequency 6 month or 600 gallons(each), whatever is sooner. Thanks!

I was using it for 60 gallons and it worked fine. It takes couple of days to see the results thou, so be patient.

I believe it has to be at least 5 micron, water etc will start to pass through a 10 micron or larger to my knowledge. Water will not pass through the filter element in this funnel.

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first. Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

I first purchased this product back in 1999, before the Y2K scare. I did a fair amount of research at that time, and used Aerobic07 to treat several 55 gallon drums of water. I have continued to keep water in reserve in those drums, refreshing the treatment with Aerobic07 each time that I replace the water. Although I have never had cause to truly tap into my reserve, the product does seem to work well, and is a much better solution than using chlorine bleach to "protect" the water. Based on my initial research, I replace the water between 4 and 5 years.

I've had several fluvals from 305,406, and fx6. The two smaller ones I've had for 5+ years and both still work great my fx6 is built even better then those two and I've had it for 10 months with no problems at all. The 406 was used for two years on a turtle tank worked great.

We have a Kinetico water softener system. We have a LOT of iron in our well water. We must use the Iron Out salts. The 5 micron filter works well for us. We used to use a 50 or 30 micron. If anything the 5 micron just filters better, finer particles. We change it every 6 months or so. It gets red with the iron, unless you are losing water pressure it is OK to use continue to use, we have gone 9 months without changing it before. I don't know what kind of sediment your trying to filter or how much is in your well water so I can't say how it would work in your system. I would recommend trying one of the filters for six months and see how it goes. If no problems then I'd buy the bulk package. We own our system so we can do as we like with it. I don't know what Kinetico would say about it. Good luck. Let us know if it works out for you OK. We were paying much more for our filters before we found this steal of a deal.

We have used this pump all summer and were able to pull down to 25 to 50 microns. Lots of factors that ratings would be of no use when pulling a vacuum on different systems.

I am using in a 38 gallon. I use two as I was raising shrimp and neon tetras Love them and tank stays crystal clear. They're easy to clean every couple of months.

Yes Susan, use the 5 micron first followed by a 1 micron in the second canister. Then they work in stages and share the workload that way. If you done it in reverse order the 1 micron would catch everything and need to be changed more often. Always go bigger to smaller micron. Never reverse or the same. If for some reason it clogs quick try a 10 followed by a 5. In that scenario you could add a third canister to the line and go 10 to 5 to 1 if you have real dirty water. Many houses use one filter if their well water is good. I have perfect well water except for some lime that builds up in the water heater. So I use just one 5 micron filter and that fixed my problem. I guess my point is if you have decent water to begin with you could use one 5 micron filter and leave the second canister empty to save on filter money. Though a 5 and 1 will do a better job.

The fx6 will be fine and do an amazing job. You can angle the output flow to where it just skims the top of the water. I have a fx6 and a xxl api(Rena) on a 150g and it stays Crystal clear. Depending on amount of fish you still have to to maintenance on filters. Just not as often on the fx6. I clean mine every 2 weeks but 3_4 would be ok to wait. (Heavily stocked African tank)

I would recommend a 10" Stainless Steel False Bottom for a 10 gallon round cooler but assume you have a rectangular cooler, you would just need the tubing and connectors to the weldless bulkhead for the false bottom or a manifold to each bazooka screen and connectors to the weldless bulkhead.

I have 2 Mediums on a 100gal freshwater and they are the best filters ever. Been running strong for 8 years. That being said, get the large.

The T-3 is good for 15,000 gallons. I replaced my T-T-15 b/c pool is 40,000 gals.

Depends what you are keeping. For a coral tank with few to none sps, 1 650 should be just fine, I'd start there. If you decide you need more, just add another later on.

I have a 75 gallon and run an eheim 2217 which is very large. I know a lot of folks will run two 2217 filters in a 75 or 90 gallon if they are heavily stocked. Eheims have great reputation if you search some of the forums from the hobby specific sites. I decided to not run the pro3 series because the classic 2217 can fit so much more biomedia for big tanks. I left the pro3 for my smaller 45 gallon tank. Check it out yourself and compare the flow rate and capacity before you choose the model.
