    what kind are you looking for, I may be able to link you off my favorites :)

    I'm just making a list of what I plan on selling off...things I know off the top of my head and probably within the week I'll go rooting through the fish odd's n' ends drawer to make a complete list.

    Not sure if this helps ya any, but here's what I found on the xp4 and xp5 (I researched them awhile back when I was looking for a filter upgrade for my 90g).
    (*)Rena Filstar Xp4 on ebay for $185 & ships for free....next cheapest I came across was at amazon for $187.95 & also ships for free.
    (*)Fluval Fx5 at thatfishplace for $228.95 with free shipping using their on site promo code. Amazon for $229.94 with free shipping. Then Ebay for $229.75 with free shipping.
    ------------------------
    Shrimp food ordered, still trying to find a prefilter that's a screen type for the xp4 so I can possibly use it on the shrimp tank, and currently working on thoroughly cleaning the xp4's before cleaning anything else on the 90g (1 filter empty and pretty much ready to go once I clean the hoses and attachments).

    got a new canister filter today to put on the 150g. it's a marineland c-360 ($150.00 w/free shipping). probably won't get it set up til this evening some time, got to go get some more hose to hook it up. it came with 2- 5 foot sections of hose and it won't work for my application. can't put it in the stand due to there's too much other stuff there and it's got a closed back so i'm going to set it on the floor at one end. I'm wanting to set it up so it 'll draw water in from one end of the tank and put filtered water back in on the other end so i need a section of hose that's at least 6 foot long.

    early this morning I finished stripping down the 90g (it was a hot mess) and cleaning everything.
    Changed the background since it ripped when I pulled the tank off the stand & still have some of the decor soaking in prime.
    Substrate was pulled and stored in buckets in case I sell this setup off & one of the xp4's were put on the 20gL with a screen over the intake.

    did a partial on the 20gL and hooked up the xp4 to it.

    Also started organizing and doing inventory on exactly what I have in my "fish" drawers (3 drawer rubbermaid like organizer).

    Hey Dawn, I have an old Eheim 2217 (I think), you might be able to salvage the impeller from?

    Thanks, but if it is a 2217 I don't believe it will fit the 2236 from the photos I found at petcarerx.
    the 2236 impeller appears to be thicker at the top, whereas the 2217 appears to be much thinner/narrower.
    But thank you soo much, I really wish it would have worked as I would have gladly gave you something for it.

    Oh well. We tried XC The canister itself has a crack in it, so it's just been sitting outside. Doing nothing, lol

    now that the 10g is empty (rehomed the fry that were in it a few weeks ago), decided that it was time to paint on a background, went with flat black.

    absolutely nothing, but hoping the husband is at least feeding the tanks while I'm in the hospital.
    Dreaded to see what I come home to when I finally get out. *worries*

    Still under the weather, but due to a spurt of energy due to the prednisone I had a bit of a chance to compile a list of the aquarium related things that I plan on selling off soon. I know there's a lot more than the list, but at least it's a start.

    Thursday was partial day on the 90g, Friday I trimmed back the plants in 20gL & rinsed the prefilter that's on the intake.
    Planning on getting to the 20gL partial soon!

    and I need photos of the 10g buzz...love the fancy guppies but never had luck for long with my low pH.
