erm.. for mine there is a pump on the canister that can pump air out. i dont knoe how yours work. there will be a gushing sound when the pump is starting to get filled it water, after that all the bubbles will come out and the canister will be quiet.

haha are u using a spray bar ? if u are then its abit weird leh. normally if the canister is ###### in air.. the bubbles will come out from all the holes of the spray bar, yours come out in a stream lolz.. sorry sis in this case i am not too sure wat the problem is. u might wanna check the pipe which water is being suck into the canister. see whether its tight and no air are getting in

The cannister's tube seen like twisting ler.. or it looked like twisting huh??

I am quite sure it is something wrong with the cannister. Could be you have put too much of media or stuff like that inside caused the water stuck. (inlet and outlet inbalance) <_<

Why not you off your canniter and readjust the media inside, ensure it does not block the outlet.

Hi ppl,

:P Problem successfully resolved! And the solution provider goes to "drum roll"....

Little Bull!!!! "tata"

Silly mistakes on my part :lol: my tubes are twisted, thus causing the air bubbles.

Now my tank look better without those "eye sores"

Thank Q very much little bull and all others for your suggestion.

I am very addicted to this forum now. Really instant solution provider ha ha ha.

Yo yellowbelly,

Giving up the hobby already? Start a Nano lah.

haha....don't tempt me.

Guess I might start again but for now take a break.....gotta spent time on my little one :P

once your setup is complete, post pic here.

By the way, you might want to get a wavemaker to create wave in the tank

Went to the much aclaimed petmart at Serangoon North today. Boy, really brings back memories. I used to live there when I was still schooling. <_< I remember back then, the shop was not as packed as now and sold fewer stuffs.

Really missed the place. It is buslting with life now he he he.

Went to check out the stands there. I think ambystoma82 is right. The $19.90 table might give way, so went down to ask for a quotation. Pity couldn't get a price yet, but the nice young man there told me he will inform me once he gets the quotation.

Bought a packet of coralife salt mix from them :) I must say, the price there is really reasonable. A lot cheaper than where I got my other stuff. Hmmm... should have check out that place first :(

Anyone know where else I can ask for a quotation to make a fish stand?

Doesn't take that much of time to look after the tank :rolleyes: and I'm sure your little ones would love the tank too! Eventually grow up to take after you leh.
