hard times
I just started a new welding business in July. Talk about lying awake at night. Since then I have been looking in to companies who make off brands for big box stores. I havent bought a Marineland or Eheim since I found out about this. Petco brand filters are made by Penn Plax. I have 4 Petco PF60’s on both my 55 gallon tanks. They are quiet and have been running for 5 months now no leaks and are very powerful. I also bought TopFin filters. 2 for my 35 gallon and 2 for my 150 gallon (in tandem with an Eheim wet/dry of course). both these filters were half price and work great with no problems. Even if they did break they are cheap enough to replace if warranty is expired. Also for my Whisper filters I use Topfin filters which are made by Tetra anyway. IT SAYS SO RIGHT ON THE FILTER LOL. they didnt even try to hide it. That cuts down on price too. AquaTech Filters at WalMart are made by MarineLand (again says so right on the filter housing!!!) so thats where I buy my filterpads for my Emporer filters. Even Petco wants $30 for 3 filters for a 400B. I couldnt afford that. TopFin declor which also removes chloramines is half the price of API declor and instead of 5ml per ten gallon you only use 1ml per ten gallon.
This is how Ive been cutting costs. I dont know if I would be able to get rid of my fish. Even if it means living in my car with buckets filled with fish lol.
I would like to know about food though there is a HUGE difference between TopFin Shrimp Pellets and OSI Pellets. I still use Tetra flakes even though I was advised against it by my LFS. What does he sell..OSI. Any thought on substitute food?
