I realized today that I never uploaded any photos of the new tank, so here are a few.

Hello; Nice.

So, very very cool are these the rescued fish from your last thread, please give details.

The big angelfish is. I just added it today after my friend brought it over. It's doing so much better even now even though it's only been so many hours.

Thank you! The pictures didn't transfer very well to this site, so I'm kind of disappointed about that.

I got the tetra yesterday, so that makes both of the fish that I was asking about in the other thread.

I think its safe to say we are all very happy you gave the fish a good home, and I would also like to hear more about your new tank setup, I see you have a 280 emperor what else do have going on ?

It's actually a 400. The only other things I have in there are an Aqueon 200W heater, and an airstone (if you can ever consider that equipment.)

I like the emperor 400's I have used them for about 15 years or so. I must have bought my first one in the early to mid 90's.

I really like it too, but it's a snug fit behind my hood. I can't take the front half of the top off without picking the hood up.

I have had hoods in the past that I had to router out for the clearance you are talking about. Either way it was not a huge hassle.

When Marilyn and I purchased our first two tanks 15 or 17 years ago we had them equipped with penguin filters three 300's and one 160 and in that time we never had a problem with any of them, then Aqueon had a filter exchange and because of the age of our filters I took them in and exchanged them for new Aqueons, big mistake I used them about three months and then ordered all new Emperors four 400's and four 280's. I think the Emperors are the best HOB filters ever, I take full advantage of the carbon baskets filling them with Matrix Media and then cover the Media with blue filter fiber, I run my cartridges for 2 months and have never had one clog up in a 400, the 280 is a bit harder because they try to push almost 300 gallons thru one cartridge, But it's worth the effort they do a great job, Best HOB filter for the buck.
