Problems with a Fluval 403

I may just have an extra canister for you, OG

[greg_tsam]

Thanks PP for donating the parts and to Nick for helping get them to me. My car was broken and I couldn't get to the auction myself. Oldsgirl, if I have anything extra I'll post it here and let you know.

[Oldsgirl]

lol, very true.

I need to get everything up and running, so I can better stock my tanks- that's why I haven't been adding to them, and they look really empty.

I'm hoping I will be able to meet up with you guys next Saturday in Deer Park, and hopefully I can get some advice then. I've just ended up with an assortment of different brand filters, and I'm not sure what goes to what.

That would be great. I'll have to check the garage and see if I still have the other parts.

Actually, I'll be honest, I probably need to load up all that I have and have someone help me get them together. I somehow ended up with several different canister filters, and there some some that are missing a part or two, or I just don't know how to set it up or arrange it, I guess).


I just have too many different projects going on, and have kind of dropped the ball when it comes to getting all my fish stuff up and running correclty

Unfortunately, the problem of having too many fish to take care of is self correcting.

When I was moving into my house, I dropped one of those and broke the canister for it. I've been totally unable to find any place that sells just the replacement canister- any ideas where else to look?

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread

What's wrong with the one you have? If I can't find anything to make mine work (and if I can still find all the pieces!) I might be able to help you with parts for yours (lol, or if you give up and then have an extra canister.....

I used my second canaster to hold the 15# or crushed coral I sold at the auction, but I still have a 3rd one & baskets.
If you can use it, let me know.

I have the parts from PP for you Greg. Let me know when you want to pick them up. I'll keep them in my car if you'd like to pick up when I'm at work.

Hahaha... nice smileys!

[Nickintex]

drama?

What is that?

[PhishPhreek]

OK, I've gathered up a couple of used O-rings, a couple of QDs and a hand full of nuts along with a spare set of baskets, media and some replacement clips. The only thing I can't help you with is if the motor goes bad, so don't let it run dry. I have it in my little red carivan with the BettaHabari sticker on the back window. See you at the auction Tomorrow.

You bought it you got it.

Ya, thanks for the support, freak, but I know that. :furious:
