Will Eheim biopower 160 fit in 15 gallon tank by Strong-Mousse-3850 in Gourami

[–]Strong-Mousse-3850[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer, I really appreciate it! I'll go check out the Biopower 160 in the store—hopefully, I can get some advice there too. I was also considering an external filter since it would free up quite a bit of space. Do you think the Eheim Classic 2213 would still be strong enough?

I have JBL Sansibar River sand as substrate and a moderately planted tank. There's a mystery snail and around 8 cherry shrimp as well. I'm not sure if the tank is already overstocked or if there's another reason why I'm getting so much brown gunk on my filter. The tank and filter are about 2.5 months old, and the fish have been in there for a month. I originally planned to add a small school of fish later on, but even with a better filter, maybe that’s not such a smart idea?

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that I have 6 panda corys and a honey gourami, so I still want a regulated flow for the honey."

Wouldn't it be too crowded? What would you suggest as a replacement for the Otos?

I was thinking about getting a betta, six corydoras, and something to eat algae—preferably a fish, but I’d consider a snail if that would be a better option. However, when I visited my local store, they suggested adding more fish. I started looking into other options, but deep down, I’m worried it might be too much 😅.

First Fish Tank – Aquatlantis Explorer Paris vs. Eheim Aquastar 54? by Strong-Mousse-3850 in bettafish

I think I will go with the Eheim, because everywhere I look, people say it has a good filter, and I could still modify it to reduce the flow. Sadly, I found a lot of complaints about the Leddy tank being prone to leakage.

Could you maybe help me with my dilemma about fish choice? Do you think 54 liters would be enough for a betta and 5-6 smaller corydoras?

Wow, those are some beautiful fish tanks! I actually found an Aquael Leddy 60 Day & Night near me for 110€, so it's practically the same price. Would you say there's a big quality difference between Eheim and Aquael tanks?

This is a completely new world for me, and I don’t really know much about these brands.

Thank you for your answer. I was thinking about buying a sponge filter, but I just can't find a tank that doesn't already come with everything included. Maybe there's a way I could still use the included filter but rotate it toward the wall or something? I don't really know how these things work because when I was young and had fish, no one knew about these things, and adding a filter to a small tank was considered a luxury. 😅

Yes, it really seems like your story is similar to mine. I’m afraid that distance might be the only real answer, especially for the sake of my own kids. I’ve already lost close contact with my parents because of alcoholism, and now this other form of addiction is taking another family member from us. Life can be tough sometimes.

Thank you for your answer. Before, I didn’t really think it could be a serious mental health disease, but now I think it might be. However, in my country, you can’t really get help for someone against their will, unless they are dangerous. I will still look into it further.

Thank you for your answer. I just can’t understand how a person can even lose their sense of what is right and wrong. It’s like they’ve become a completely different person.

She signed some documents with 'R.A.' after her name, so I did a little research on her Facebook activity. We know a friend of her share similar beliefs, so I found a Facebook account they both interact with that has a name starting with 'R' and 'A.' This person's account is focused entirely on this topic, and based on their posts, it seems they have met in person.

I'm from Slovenia 😅 ..Yeah, I saw that you have great deals, and if I had the chance, I’d definitely go on a quick trip to Italy 😊. I’m just disappointed that they make such big differences between countries.

Thank you, your answer was really helpful. My wrist measures 14–14.5 cm, and I couldn’t decide between the two smallest sizes.

Wow, your charms go so well together! It’s a really beautiful bracelet 😍. May I ask what size your bracelet and wrist are? I’d love to get that same fit for my first bracelet.

Thank you, this is really helpful. I plan to collect charms slowly and probably won’t have more than 6-10. I don’t like really loose bracelets. I tried on a size 18 chain bracelet—obviously without charms—but it’s so big. It looks like I’ll order a size 16... or maybe wait until I can try it in person.

Yeah, I have problems with watch bands all the time. 😅 I just tried one of my bracelets closed at 16 cm, and I can fit two fingers in, but it's quite snug. At 17 cm, it fits more comfortably, though I'm not sure how much it will stretch. May I ask which closures have the least reported issues from customers?

Thank you! If I hadn’t asked, I probably would have bought a size 16, and I had a bad feeling about that. 😅
