RE: big old filters

["Mark Pearlscott" <mark@pearlscott.com>]

Those really old filters usually just have the motor sitting on top of a
vertical tube, and then it spits water back out into the tank.  A u-tube
helps fill back up the filter box.  The one you got may be different.  I
would look up the manufacturer and model name on the internet.  I don't
think it too likely to find much information, but it is worth a shot.

If you happened to get one of the newer filters, this should help...

The AquaClear series is made by Hagen, and are found here:
http://www.hagen.com/usa/aquatic/sub_category_psubtype.cfm?CAT=1&SUBCAT=
107&PSUBCAT=10701

If it is a whisper or a tetra filter, it is made by Tetra, and their web
site is:
http://www.tetra-fish.com/

If you can't find the information, bring it to the next meeting and I'll
try to help you out.

Cheers,

Mark
