I actually got rid of that filter media holder all together in the back.

I also chose to upgrade my lighting with a completely different LED clip on light.

While I am not new to keeping fish, I picked up this tank on marketplace for $10. Obviously I knew right away that the filter was not going to work for me, which led me to this video! Thanks for the tips!

thank you so much for this. i was actually looking for a hack for my Glofish 3 gallon aquarium, I read where someone had removed the back casing to give their fish more swimming room and instead installed a sponge filtration system. I'm glad I came across this however. I already installed the little hook on my glass cover. Genius. And just ordered the sponges for my output. As for placing the heating element where the pump is, I never thought of that. will do that immediately to give my Betta more room. I do have live plants and for some reason they are browning. Wondering if that will hurt my fish. Thanks for these tips, some of these I can definitely use on my tank.

article on this video: www.pharmaquatics.com/post/10-cheap-diy-modifications-for-your-5-gallon-marineland-tank-to-setup-for-a-betta-fish

the sponge is decent for biological filter and I've added 2 nylon pot scrubbers in the top where the cartridge goes. works really good and is very smushable to make it fit.

I sometimes go to my daughter's house to babysit her pups while she is on vacation. I bought this tank for my Betta's "vacation" home. I had to shut the filter off because he seemed "stuck" to the intake. Luckily we were only there two weeks and he was happy to get home. I like the idea for the cover -

I looked up those intake sponges via the link and the holes in them look alot smaller than the one in the video. Tank is all set up. Just waiting on the heater you recommended to arrive on Tuesday.

I keep my heater in the tank area near the outflow, putting it in the back just stresses me out but if it works for you it works! The stock light is fine for low light plants, I would recommend replacing it with the Aqueon Planted Clip On Light for high light plants.

I keep thinking that the aquarium would be better off if I were to take the pump outflow and run it down to the bottom of the aquarium (just above the gravel). That would allow the Beta to have a fairly calm upper portion and still move more water around in the aquarium. Thoughts?

Are you removing the triangular nozzle on the outtake before you put the pre filter sponge on?

Hey, I just bought this tank for my first betta and was wondering if I should turn on the white light during the daytime and the use blue for nightime. I’ve heard that leaving the blue light on all night may be harmful to the fish though and wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Quick question… if i didnt need the heater (because of my location), do you see any problems with putting ceramic media in that compartment? (Id increase the amount of coarse sponge filter in the original filtration compartment). I recall you mentioning stagnant water problems with that compartment?

Hey! Loving your videos - question, I set the filter floss up just like you have it, but everytime I switch it out, all the pink sediment/junk gets into the water everywhere from the "shake up" of removing/adding back in the filter. Is this normal? Thank you!

thanks Diana! glad theyre helpful. this is normal, it’s similar to when people clean out their sponge filters. having some debris break off is unavoidable but insignificant in the grand scheme of things. wouldnt worry too much about it.

I ordered the ceramic media but it came looking different than what you had in the video. These are more porous cylinders and they are smaller with no hole. Would they still work?

How about coarse sponge, activated carbon, bio media blocks, purigen and filter floss from below to top in that order in an hob filter?

Did drilling holes in the pump tube actually help? Based on my experience it seems like that many holes + gravity would take away flow in front of the filter wall

I have a fluval nano plant light. Is there a good location to mount it

I'm late but do I just put normal water in the Aquarium??

Thanks for the hints. Upgraded Clyde from a 1 gallon tank to this one. Thought he'd be happier. not even close. He immediately went to the bottom of the tank, floated face down, stopped moving for periods, was lying flat on the gravel, heck i thought i killed him. Followed your directions, and turned down the pump volume, and it helped. Ordered the "Pre-Filter" Sponges, but Amazon 10-14 days to deliver. So i thought, and while i found several alternatives, none worked. I finally cut a piece of Sheet, and tied it around the exit nozzle with a plastic Wire Tie.

OMG! This is great. I had a huge problem with water quality. I've had this tank for 3 months and I had a hard time understanding how to set up my pump so it worked efficiently and effectively as possible. Setting up my filter using this technique increased my water quality significantly, pretty much overnight. My next hurdle is how to get rid of algae on my plants (Black algae on plants only). Could you do a video addressing this problem? Every time I clean it up within a week it's back. My tank is not by a window. I've added 2 snails (Buttercup and Turtle) to help clean up decaying leaves and uneaten fish food. I only have 1 Betta (Dorothy , haha- my 3 year old named him). I've added Marimo balls and driftwood. I do frequent water changes. 2 a week to be exact. UGH!!!! Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe this new filter set up will help? Maybe? Fingers crossed....

Do what you currently are doing and keep scraping off the algae, it shouldn't affect parameters much. Algae is common with every relatively new tank, once the chemistry within the tank balances out after a few months, it should subside. Other common causes may be overfeeding or the tank getting too much direct sunlight from a window. Hope this helps!

@@Pharmaquatics Hey, I appreciated your reply and all your help, I really do. 2nd question. Lol ....I'm new to the hobby. What exactly is the point of stirring up the water back there, more specifically, the holes or slits on the tube? What does that do? What's the purpose of it? I'm assuming it's because if the water back there doesn't move too much, it could create unwanted spikes in the tank. Is that what it is or is it for something else, like another purpose?

Regarding putting the heater into the back compartment, that's something that I've wanted to do to hide it, but per the manufacture Q&A, a heater shouldn't be put back there: Q: Is there room to put the heater in the back area with the filter? A: Per the instructions that is NOT recommended because if the pump becomes clogged, the back chamber will empty out, leaving the heater exposed. Q: Please advise on how/where to install a heater for this tank. A: If facing the front of the tank, we recommend putting it in the back, left corner of the tank portion, NOT in the filter chamber. There is an area where you can route the cord over the back. So given that, what do you think? Chance it? I think it should be fine as long as some attention on the filter medium is provided to ensure that it doesn't get clogged, but I'd like your input. I haven't actually moved mine back there yet.

I recently started in this hobby. Have 1 piece of driftwood in it, 1 red volcanic rock and baby dwarfs carpeting most of the bottom...
