Your fluval filter has different compartments. Per my filter instructions - my filter handles 110 gallon tank, show the bio filter on the bottom, then the next compartment up houses the bio rings. I rinse them out about every other month, but don' t change them completely out so as to not alter the biologics of the filter.

Put it in to the filter. It is the place for the bacterias to live. But they can live in every surface of the tank and filter. Check the level of ammonia in the water, if it's OK you probably don't need it.

I don't know the answer to that, I just use the filters that came with it.Remember to clean them after each use.

You will need replacement filters, it comes with one. You will need to change the filter at least monthly, or depending on size of tank and number of fish. I have a 2.5 gallon tank and four small fish. I do a partial water change monthly. Once in a while, if needed, I take the filter out and rinse it out and put it back. But at least monthly put a new filter in.

Yes, absolutely you still need a filter. The airstones are beautiful and provide a bubble wall putting oxygen in the water. However, this does nothing to suck out feces and other things in the water to keep your tank clean. The size of your tank and the type of fish you have determine how much and what type of filter would be best. But yes, you still need filtration.

What is the filter reset tank that you are referring to? I recently changed out my tank at home. Thanks

It is very simple. Just remove the water tank and you will see a little white twist screw that you turn to unlock the housing. Lift off the housing and you will see the 2 filters.. If you have trouble finding the filters you can measure these and go to the store and buy any replacement filters that are that size or larger and cut them to fit. The little plastic hangers that they have on your old filters you can squeeze the end and pull apart and use them on your the ones you made. The filters will still work if you cannot get the hangers off the old filters, they are supported by plastic around them in the housing.. It is very simple.

You don't put it into the tank directly- It goes into the filter. So the amount depends on the size of your filter.

I could never find the shorty filters, so I sucked it up and bought the larger pump / filtration unit. I buy the filters OFF season and stock them in my shop until pool time. Several people said the filters are made to be cleaned and re-used. I've never had any luck with that, so longer life from filters IS saving me money. We run ours 24 / 7 too.

Squeeze in the center of the old filter and pull it out. There is a square one and a round one. Put in the new filters the same way - work them into the top of the lid until they are smooth. Square one first then the round one.

I don't know yet. I'm not past the extra filters they include in the packaging yet. I'm sure they'd like us to buy the replacement filters. I can't get at my installation instructions right now, but I'm betting it might say there.

HiTo clean the filters, first push bottom to release filter. Clean both parts with running water. Let dry and reinstall.

Cool thanks! I have decided to order it. Just got it today! Excited to use it. Wondering where to get the filters for the glass attachments. Have to figure that out later. I know they last a while. So that will be figured out later I guess.

I just run these straight up and replace them. A pre-filter is a good idea if you have room.

You put your fingers in through the big circular hole at the bottom of the lid and just pull the filters out. Similarly, to put in replacement filters, just squish them in through that big circular hole and adjust as needed so that they're settled in place.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

The new hoses are only made to eliminate the issue with the older hoses. If your tank has contaminates you might still need a filter. When using the tank make sure the tank is upright to help keep the contaminates from reaching the hose.

I found them at http://www.bigalspets.com/filter-cartridge-for-dive-clean-mini-3-pk.html they are $6 for a three pack. But truth be told i have never needed a new filter all I do is rinse out the sponge in some used aquarium water and pop open the carbon filter assembly and replace the carbon but I can understand wanting to replace the filters.
