How fast should the water be coming out of my hma filter ???

[dom2106]

I recently brought a hma filter from devotedly discus in polgate but the instructions it came with arent very clear how fast should the water be coming out of it ???? any advise would be greatly apprecitaed

Depends on your water pressure. I guess you are using 1/4" tubing? mine comes out quite fast. Maybe 1.5 to 2 ltrs a minute. Never really measured it tbh

cheers any ideas on the treatment of gill flukes ???

[Hollowman]

Why do you suspect gill flukes Dom?


F&MG is effective against gill flukes as is PP

i brought a pair off a bloke in hastings 4 inch blue diamond and a 5 inch blue turq over the last few days they have started breathing really fast with there gills opening really wide like there gasping for air but all the others seem fine ???? the 5 inch male keeps flicking his fins aswell but this might just be part of them pairing up ??? they keep bowing to each outer too and locking jaws

that means they are fighting and you have 2 male tring to dominate the tank. One will give up eventually.
