Fluval cartridge restuffing video instructions.

[grumpster]

I just put up a video showing how to re-stuff your cartridges with Fluval. Included in the video is a picture of the correct product to purchase. Fluval makes a number of different items, and most of them will not work at all. This video shows what one does work and how to use it.

I hope this helps everyone.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm going to do a video showing how to do the tube mod next. I've seen a lot of discussion on both topics, but not a lot of help in actually doing it. I don't own enough devices or try out enough juices to be competent in reviewing them, but I am good at the instructional stuff. It's the one thing I can do to return to the forums all the information I've taken from since the beginning.

Besides, this way, no one has to look at my mug.

You forgot to leave the air pocket at the bottom of the cart for the straw mod to work correctly. In my experience, you pull the stuffing out about a 1/4", and then cut it flush with the top.

Interesting. I've done a somewhat different straw mod a few times. I cut a piece of filler about 1/4 inch short, and cut a 1/4 inch section of a regular soda straw. Then I put the straw section in the bottom of the cartridge, and the foam on top, so it made a pocket under the foam, to serve as a reservoir. I didn't do it for long enough to be sure, but it seemed to make the cartridges last a bit longer. But, in the end, all the prep time didn't seem worthwhile to me. It was easier to just top off a regular cartridge a bit more often.

So, what's the advantage of the side-straw? More consistent flow rate?

Very good video and you are a good instructor. Going to find me some of that material to try this. Now I know how to do it right.

I agree, great video grumpster... I have a question..I bought some fluval a while back..Visually it looks like yours but the numbers are different..Mine says that it is 104/105 and under that > 204/205...I think you mentioned yours was 300 something..Do these numbers refer to weight, density or what?...And is what I have usable?.. If anyone knows, your response would be much appreciated..Thanks....Ivy

I can't wait to see you tube video. I have been using it but I think I'm not doing it right. I am going to have to make a stop to the pet store today for fluval now

What you have is the same material, but in a smaller size. It's intended for a smaller filter unit for a smaller aquarium. I specified the one that I did because it divides out nicely for what we're doing, at least for the 801-901 carts and you get more material for your money. What you have will work just fine though. If I'm not mistaken, the thickness is the same, so splitting the layers should be the same. Check it against your own carts and use your own judgment and you'll be okay. You'll have to cut it a little differently than what I described because of the difference in size of the pads, that's all.

i think i'll be buying some fluval soon

 

[need_2quit]

thx for the great video! i've been procrastinating on what to buy for cart filler replacement. Your video convinced me to take a trip to the local fish pet shop.

Appreciate it. Great instructional
