Does it helps my tank setup and how if I placed at last compartment ? Thanks

Can check if this can be place as return pump in last compartment for ios tank? Possible to connect to hose or piping?

Hi,

By placing it at the last compartment it will be much cleaner in the filter itself as i understand that most of us will have wool or other machnical media that is being placed in the first compartment that will first trapped most of the debris and waste or even fine particles from the main tank.

Therefore is will be advisable to place it at the last compartment to prolong the maintenance of Hydra filter from cleaning the prefilter or the impeller. :)

I will say yes and no as we have to observe the flow rate and the head lost when using it as a return pump. As Hydra filter when first being design, it was design to be use as an internal filter which might have compromise the height max.

Therefore if it is being use as an return pump, it might not have a effective return flow rate compare to a submersible pump which is design to do the job.

Thanks for your prompt response. May I know is there a lifespan of this filter or how we know when we need to replace any parts?

Hi, the life span of the cata pure media is approximately 12 months. It is advisable to change it once the time frame is up. :)

Is there any indicator on when to change the cata pure media? And is the cata pure media price range est? Thanks

Can i just buy the cata pure media and use it on another filter ?

Don't think can right cause your hydra filter got discharge 5mA of current to activate the cata pure media am i right to say that ?

Hi, bro. You are correct. The cata Pure media cant be use on other filter. :)

Hoping QH can share heads up on plans for a larger capacity unit eg specifics on actual capacity and product release timeframe. It will be a very compelling purchase for hobbyists with larger tanks and comm set up etc.

Thumbs up for the innovation !

Cheerz

was wondering if i can place 2 of these in a 4 ft tank...just these filters...shouldnt be a prob rite?

Will this work well for a 6x2.5x2.5 sump tank?

QH,

Any comments on post #50 ? :)

tq

For this filter got to careful as I brought 2 of this last month at Aqua Star at Yishun. The first one I brought works fine but the second I got produce heat that make the water temperature rise up to 32-34degree which kills most of my fish.

I brought it down to the yishun Aqua star on 23/11/11 as they stated item to be exchange within 3 days but I brought it down the second day they did not change it for me and told me that they will send it for repair but till now it is still in the shop.

So anyone buying this please kindly check before you try as from what the shop said if you tried you can't change. But if you do not try how you know the problem. So disappointed with this product.

And do not use it in a tank which is less the 3ft.
And got to monitor it when you place it in. If there is a sudden rise in your water temperature, got to faster take it out from your tank or you will end up like me lost my fishes.

seems like qian hu need to explain on this... still intended to buy this as additional filter for my 422..

do c328 have this? how much u bought it for bro?

i bought one from polyart last week.

it has been running in my 2x1.5x1.5 tank for the past week.

initially i had an aro in there, ammonia level was 2.0

i transferred the aro to my FGT, so tank was fishless and i left the filter running.

tested it today, 4 days later.

ammonia level still 2.0

same colour on the colour chart.:(

I brought $60 but C328 have as well but I nv ask the price bro..
But to play safe buy from qian hu safer cos their after sales customer service is very good.

But to play safe buy from qian hu safer cos their after sales customer service is very good. And some more is their own product.

But C328 oso ok cos that I told the uncle my aqua zonic arowana Led light, he just ask me to bring down show him and nv even ask where I buy from..
But end up my parent brought it down to qian hu to exchange.

Just to check can I place 2 of the OF Hydra 30 in my 422.
As I got the other back from aqua star and do not where to place it..
I have 2 cannister filter for my tank and 1 OF Hydra 30

Do you have to switch this filter OFF when putting medication to the tank?

Bro, turn it off when u intro medication...

D24 :)

look fwd to Hydra 20.. ;)

I juz got this as well. Btw, it also adds oxygen into the tank via the small tube? How much oxygen does it add in?

Why need to turn it off when intro medication?
Tks.

I hope the future models have longer power cords because this one is juzz long enough for my current tank and i will be upgrading to a bigger tank soon.

hi , me too .

Hi, may i ask if the hydra 40 is coming out any time?.
For bros that used it, any reviews about it?.. the levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, did it decrease?.. and for the hydra 30, will it be underpowered for a 422 tank?.

Hi,

just like to check when the replacement cartridge will be out cause i have enquire a few time at your counter but is still not available till now.

Hi,

Thanks for those that are interested in Hydra 40. We hope to release it this year however there are some changes that are being make and yet to come to a conclusion. We are sorry for the delay and keeps you waiting.

As for the replacement Cata Pure, it is releasing soon in the market maybe in another 1 or 2 months time as we do understand that it is time for Hobbyist to change the media especially for those that had bought it during the launched in 2011 Aquarama.

Once again, thanks for support. :)

it will be the best if able to support the high bio-load .

Any update on the cartridge?

Hi, The replacement Cartridge is out for purchase, thanks.:)

hi bro, very interested in this product, and will prob be picking up one tomorrow, however, i'd like to know, the incident with the over heated water, was it an isolated one or is this something we should monitor when using it?

Thanks for the heads up bro.

Any updates on the QF 40?

Hi, we are planning it to be release in Singapore by this year end. Hydra 40 will be having a preview launch in this coming CIPS in Beijing on 1st November 2012 together with some new products. I will take some photo of it and post it up here. :)

Great! Been using the hydra 30 in my 422 as a supplement filter and water conditions have been fantastic(nitrates still high at the moment but reducing steadily over the weeks.. appetite of fish is where the improvement can really be seen, looking forward to the 40 as my tank is heavily stocked and not over filtered, .......yet:D


Let us know when first orders are available bro.. cheers.

Hi, Sharing with all some photo taken using Hydra 30 Filter to keep Altum Angel. This few pieces of Altum angle are not stable when it arrived. They are of different batches thats why you can see the difference in sizes.

We separate them out and place it another quanrantine tank using Hydra 30 Filter. And to our surprise, they starts to stable down and the water Ph is around 6. Since then, they are happily living for nearly 2 months plus. Sorry for the lousy resolution as they are being taken with handphone.

Hi, one quick question, does this affect the GH in any way? I have a very high GH reading after usage that does not seem to go down, it could be other things, just trying to narrow down and see if it's a created situation or if my tank needs mores work, thanks in advance..:)

Hi, attached some photo on the new range of Hydra Filter and Hydra adapter that are meant to be use for bigger volume of water. We hope to launch it in Singapore by the end of this year. This photo are taken during CIPS in Beijing. Sorry for the lousy photo as taken using mobile phone. :)
