My goldfish kept hiding and staying under things, realized too much current for a 10 gallon tank. Is there a way to adjust the current?

The closest the edge of overflo lip is to the surface the less the flow. So keep your tank level filed up and lower where you attach it to the tank

I am not aware to any way to adjust the current. Maybe a dense planting around the filter work do the trick..

No, there is no way to do so. It is one speed, but I had the filter in the corner of my 5 gallon tank without any disturbance to my fish - you may want to try positioning the filter in a different spot in your tank.

I don't think there is any way to adjust the current :( just plug it in, pop in the filter cartridge and that's about it. Sorry

There is a switch on the pump that allows you to set the degree of flow. I didn't want to bother with pulling the pump back out, so I just stuck some hornwort in front of the output. Voila! Happy neons!

I have 3 goldfish and a 10 gallon tank, I feed em flakes once a day, I have to change my filter every 2 weeks...

Also, my light burnt out and I haven't replaced it, but I keep the tank in a very well lit room, right by big windows, and the plants grow a lot. The filter is a problem - it's very strong for my fish and some of the plants have come up, but I wrapped a little bag around the bubbler and that's made it better.

This has happened to us(btw cat food is they're fave bait) make sure when u turn the unit in the light flashes once. Also when you saw the bait was gone was the light in too of the trap blinking? It may be you need to change the batteries and yes you really do have to use the lithium and it really goes thru a lot of batteries

I use mine in a 20 gallon Tetra tank no adjustments have been needed, I think you might have to go a 300w unit but check the site for their recommendations. Al

you probably need one with more power. go to that fish place.com and ask their technicians on line. they are great with questions.

why wouldn't you, chad?yes they do exist best I've found is on crazypc(dot)comi used a cold cathode and a shoe box top to make a light up hood for my 2.5 gallon fish tank works like a charm ;-)

The only thing I could suggest, is make sure it is full of water before re-hooking it up, and fill each chamber with angle hair to keep loose materials from moving around and making noise. I put my system on a cheap timer, so my tank is quite and dark, at night.

Unfortunately there is no way to adjust the filter power. I have a beta and he loves to stay next to the filter. Not sure about the frog since the water level is to the top of the tank.Hope this helps.

Stephen this meter head is not water tight and I don't really know of any that are!! I would take it that you have a salt water reef system??? I owned one for many years and this meter would not be any help to you!! As long as you use either the 50/50 bulb or 10,000k you will have good luck with your fish and coral!!!! Also your plant life will thrive very well!!I hope I was of some help to you!!Walt

A goldfish would quickly outgrow it. Goldfish are also heavy waste producers and would overwhelm this system. Goldfish are also social and shouldn't be alone. If you are limited in space and finances, get 2 small goldfish, a 10 gallon, and a filter for at least a 30 gallon tank, and change 30-50 percent of the water weekly. Your goldfish would need to be upgraded to at least a 30 gallon tank by the time they're a year old. I absolutely LOVE the fluval view. But it's meant for a betta or a school of 5 or 6 small fish like neon tetras, threadfin rainbows or white cloud mountain minnows. I hope this helps! A goldfish would quickly outgrow it.

the lights can't be chained togeather. When I had my lights in the water on the bottom of the aquarium, I didn't like the look. You could see each LED lite. I have them ontop of the tank shining down into the water. Much nicer, I think

My daughter has a 10 gal goldfish tank that it's hooked up to. Works great!

Yes. The current is adjustable so you can turn it down pretty low and it shouldn't disturb the betta.

This heater was a good heater for several months but something went crazy with it & the heating element went crazy & cooked my tank. It spiked a very high temp & lost almost all my coral & a few fish. I had it in my sump. Don't know if it was just this heater or if they are all faulty. Sorry I couldn't have been more help.
