Pool Filter for fish tank?
« on: March 31, 2016, 02:05:50 PM »
Just wondering whether this pool filter can be used for large fish tanks / Rubbermaid tubs ? (>100 gallon)
Has anyone tried something like this?

If you want to give it a shot, I have a couple I could sell you for $10 each. One was never used (upgraded the filter on our pool)

Okay Marty.  Could you bring the filter pump assembly to the meeting? Is it the same capacity as shown in my link?

I'm out of town, I'll send you a pm when I get back.  I'm pretty sure it's the same size pump
