Yanagi Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I bought a 2nd hand fish tank, went and picked it up and got it home to realize the filter is missing pieces? It looks just like all there is to it is the pump motor, no cartridge/container to put all the media in. There is no instruction manual. Can the filter be turned off separate from the light/heater? Not really sure how it's supposed to work. It's a 'Mirabello Complete Aquarium System - 30 litres - Standard MIR30'. Pics in case they help..

tlc33 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Forgive me Yan but, have you tried a google search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yep, I found replacement filter media cartridges for sale, found photos that advertise the tank, but don't show how the filter is supposed to look. Nothing that helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc33 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 In that case it may be worth ringing a few pet shops to see if they stock that type of tank. You may be able to get the advice you need that way. Worth a try??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 would be just as easy to use a small sponge filter or a small 200l/hr power filter with a spray bar in that size tank.... probably a lot cheaper than buying replacement parts for it....

Yanagi Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 The problem is the heater, light and filter are all built into it and it seems you can only have them all on, or all off. Which means I need the rest to this filter. :/ I'd much rather use something else, believe me. I was kinda hoping someone here would own one. Ah well, I'll just have to go searching for places that sell this tank and see if I can pick their brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Nevermind, my dad pulled the thing apart and removed the filter completely. Problem solved! Heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
