Sunday, late night, I was looking for the least expensive Aquaclear 110's online and found them on the Petsmart site. They were having a 30% off sale on $150 or more order for the weekend. I just happened upon this deal. I ordered 2 of them @ essentially $70 each! Free shipping over $35 and I'm expecting them to arrive in a week to 10 days.
They got here yesterday! TWO DAYS!!! That was nice!
My free shipping from Amazon still hasn't arrived after 6 days!
Good deal.... ;D...do you use floss with them? or get those pricey pads??
I use the sponge that comes with it and some form of poly fiber that I usually get at Joanne's or Hobby Lobby or Michaels. I don't use carbon. These will go 2 on a tank and I will alternate the cleaning of the filter media so I don't wipe out all the bacteria in the sewage treatment system of the tank...!
The last one that I bought new had the ceramic (or whatever it is) pieces and I'm using that for the first time.
My filter of choice also. I have 3 on my 125 gal.
I have 2-110's on a 55g which was overpopulated until a couple weeks ago. Ha! I've also got a Fluval 405 on it. It will be coming off soon and so will one of the 110's. But one and a time so as to slowly change the balance. This is the tank I'm trying to get the dwarf chain loach, Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki, to spawn in.
I have a clown loach tank which is a curved front 54g that I've removed a Rena canister from and have a temporary HOB of another brand on, that I will put the 110 on tomorrow. And a second 54g like it that has various species in it which will be converted from canisters to the 110 as well. I need some help moving them further away from the wall for the HOB space and a fellow is coming to help me with that tomorrow and will by the canisters from me.
I have a couple of these 110s also. They are great filters and are quiet too. I also cut a 110 sponge in two and used it as material for two sponge filters. So far they are working well. They capture a lot of debris and are keeping a 55g that I am growing out some youngsters in pretty clean.
