I have two questions. I'm looking for a new HOB filter, as my current one is too loud (Marineland H.O.T. Magnum.) I was wondering what you would recommend. I have had penguins in the past, but the biowheel on them is a little too loud. I've heard good things about the Aquaclear, and was looking into the aquaclear 200. Its for a 29 gallon tank with 2 convicts and some babies, so its nowhere near overstocked. (The babies have another tank to grow up in once they get about a month old). Its in a bedroom, so being silent is my number one priority.
My second question is this: I was doing a water change today, and I noticed my bottle of Prime smelled like rotten eggs. Does prime go bad? I've only had it for about a month, so its not that old. The lid was on tight, so I don't know what happened. I don't go around smelling chemicals, so maybe its always smelled like this, but I doubt it. I'm actually kind of disappointed with the stuff, I've heard so many good things about it in the past, but now I'm worried about what I'm putting into my tank.
Thanks for the responses everybody.
