Extra Filter For Aqua One?

[fergiesek]

We're new to this with an Aqua One Regency 80 tank that has the built in filter etc.

We'd like an extra filter:

1. cos it looks nice - all thse bubbles
2. more especially cos the fishes seem to love the bubbles so an extra would seem to make them happier!!

The shop that we bought the tank from says the aqua one tanks don't do 'add on 'bits for extra filters?

can anyone advise?

many thanks

If it's bubbles you're after then you might be better off buying an air pump with an airstone. It never hurts to over filter a tank but if it's a nice bubble display you want, then the pump is another alternative.

Thanks Stang1, yes it is bubbles we're after.

Can you recommend a good air pump/airstone?

THANKS

Hi fergie,

I have just bought a Aqua One Precision 7500 Air pump with a 5" airstone. It is around 12.99 for the pump but it does have a twin outlet on it so you can have 2 airstones if you wanted. I think that it is really quiet too but as I am also a newbie I haven't had the chance to compare to other pumps yet. My friend also has a 170L tank which he is going to sell me next week with all the trimmings so if the pump in there is different then I'lllet you know mate.

Hope that helps.
