OF Hydra 30 Internal Filter

Hi QH, I just installed my hydra 30 and i am just wondering if i MUST connect the air tube?? Because it is creating alot of air bubbles if i were to connect the air tube to the hydra 30.

Hi bro,

Thanks a lot for your purchased. It is not necessary to attach the air tube to Hydra 30, the efficiency of Hydra won't be affected.

I have purchased Hydra 50 and install it at the return sump tank, the outflow from hydra 50 was connect to the inlet of
Aquazonic Universal UV Filter.

may i know if the Aquazonic Universal UV Filter which i install at the return sump tank will affect the hydra water quality?

Hi bro,

Thanks for your purchase and not to worry that the UV filter will not affect the efficiency of Hydra as both unit is have different working principle.

Hi would like to know which shops sells this pump?

Hi I installed a Hydra 50 a few weeks ago in my cichlid tank. A lot of bubbles are forming on top. It's like the water has become soapy. Why is this?

Hi, thanks for your query. The "soapy" bubbles formed can be caused by the positioning of the Hydra 50, hence we would recommend that you re-position by submerging it approx. 10 meters downwards in your aquarium tank.

In addition, the venturi tube provided along with Hydra 50 serves to draw air in and pushes it through the outlet (however the user may remove it upon their discretion). Thanks!

Hi. Actually the bubbles that are forming are from the airstones and not from the hydra filter. Instead of bursting, the bubbles held, forming something like bubble-nest.

Ah okay, thanks for clarifying. There are several factors that caused this situation. Have u check whether the tube-connection between the airstone & air pump is loosen? Airstone may tend to clog up with particles after long usage which reduces its function of bubbling.
