About Jay Wilson:
Hi My name is Jay Wilson and I am an avid African cichlid keeper and owner of NorthFinUSA. I love Keeping Fish and educating folks on how to keep a crystal clear aquariums along with helping Fish keepers get started in the fish hobby. When I am not messing with Cichlids or frogs I am playing with my son and working out. I currently keep Cichlids, Geophagus along with Tropheus and Goby, 2 vivariums and some shrimp and a betta. My dream tank ..... I guess I will never get there. Follow me on my fish keeping journey and do not forget to follow me on Instagram!

@Jay Wilson love your take on it, but this may seem like Crazy ideal, why can't you use the intake to bring water to Sump with a skimmer on top and lower, then use the return pump, would it make sense to use both. Canister filter the prefect filter for such things quietly, then you simple adjust flow back to tank with return pump, maybe I am over simplifying this. If your canister is natrate factory, great that why you send it to your sump and refuge, then bame return pump to tank. You can adjust flow back for level. Next best thing is power failure, no shipon. You could even have auto on and off level controller for safety if your filter gets plugged up. Good example is Fluval surface skimmer intake.

@@Jaywil07Agreed. Bottom sumps are a huge headache to clean out and an eye sore for doorless aquarium stands. All you need is a canister filter with 100- or 50-micron filter felt (which works better than Poly-Fil for removing green water algae by the way), and an Unscripted Aquarium Clarifier (UAC). Tiny device that’s safer than UV sanitizing filters and it won’t break your wallet.😊

I use sumps on my larger tanks because as a 52 year old female, lifting large canisters out to clean them was painful on my back. But I totally see your good points on canisters. I’ve had them. I also love supplementing my sumps with “planted” versions of the Aqua Clear HOB filter. I say all filters have their strengths and weaknesses. In the end, every hobbyist should do what works for them in their situation for sure. Great vid.

@kenney9120 4 жыл бұрын

I have long had the same idea with using the canister to run water back to the aquarium and a herbie for silent overflow. Leave the canister empty and it does not need to be serviced. The advantage (besides a silent and powerful motor) is you can take the return out of the sump and put it in the aquarium and clean and service the sump. This could be done as a water change since you need to drain the sump to clean it.

I have always run a canister of some kind or the other. I had a HOB on my 75 gallon though. I wanted to change either to a sump or canister. Never had a sump, so I did a home build and you are correct, the NOISE is outrageous. The noise from the sump was bad, but the setup is next to my wife's computer and desk and the noise that came from her, complaining about the sump noise was OUTRAGEOUS. So, I wound up buying a fx6. I walk buy sometimes and have to feel the hose to make sure it's on, because it is silent.

@simoncook3460 5 жыл бұрын

I am wondering, (and have never read anyone else discussing this) - a sump takes water that is over-flowing from the top surface of the aquarium. A canister filter PULLs water from the CENTER of the water column. Crap & wastes don't float up to the top they sink to the bottom, or get stirred up from fish. Wouldn't then a canister filter be more effective at pulling in the wastes, as the intake pipe is closer to bottom & the wastes moving around?
