monty703 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 So I was at a fish Auction yesterday and picked up a small fancy tank for my show Betta. IQ3 Dymax. When I got home and cleaned everything up, I tried the pump and it didn't work. I was looking at how the tube from the pump fitted thru the hole with the attachment for the spray head thing. It looked a lot like the tube on the Marina breeder box, so I got the spare one out and put it down into the slot and pushed the nose thru the hole and Yeah it worked, so I fitted the little end cap onto the tube to hold it in place, plugged it into my small air pump and now I have a functioning tank. The bottom part of the tube pulls the water up and back into the tank where it gets sucked into the sponge area for filtration. I am next going to pull that sponge out of there, and replace it with some Zeo-carb, and Floss as well as the sponge to build up the biofilm and keep the ammonia levels down. Until I can find a small enough pump to fit inside it will do for now. Nice to have some things handy that you can take from one place and put in another, isn't it? Now I just need to find a plug to fit the LED light that comes with this tank...I got and extra LED that works too, but the plug is missing.....any ideas on where to find such a thing?

monty703 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 OK my Hubby fixed it...and its working great. It was previously used for a short time with sand as substrate and it got into the pump area...Mr Fixit took it apart, cleaned it and now its working like brand new.

monty703 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah I knew there was a reason I keep him around He's not into shrimps, but he likes to keep me happy, so when I have a problem I can't fix myself, he's more than willing to try something for me. What a guy! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
