currently running hydra stream 1 in 5ft tank, is it an issue if the cartridges are inserted in the wrong direction?

Hi bro,

You may run Hydra stream in series but we will not really recommend you to do it this way as Hydra reaction is almost instantaneous and therefore it will be more efficient if the setup is in parallel such that higher volume of water is able to pass through Hydra stream for reaction to take place.

By using additional unit of Hydra, it will not overkill but instead it will be beneficial as more volume of water will be passing through it and quickly improve the aquarium water quality.

Is the cartridge readily available at lfs for stream1?

You have a point there. I have 4 canister filters running my tank. I'll get two streams and connect them on the output pipe of two of the filters. appreciate the time.

Hi bro,

Kindly advise that what do you actually mean by the cartridges are being inserted in the wrong direction? Do you actually mean by taking the width as the length and is being inserted wrongly or is it do you mean by inserted in the reverse direction? If you have mistaken the width as the length and insert it in, you might have some problem as it will get stuck unless it is being force in as the cartridge compartment is designed just nicely fits the shape of the cartridge, thanks.

Hello qian. as I ask a question would you guys be thinking about making a bigger in line filter? ie one that I could run my pond on, this as come on the back of seeing very good resuilts on my tank which is running the 40 model. I can see you have inline for aquiums having this for a pond would be another great way to use this technology thanks stewart

Hi QH,

I just bought Hydra Stream 3 and when i installed it, there's leakage at the inlet and top part of the body.
I already tried to put the O ring as advised in the earlier part of this forum but it still leaks.
I tried to attach the video for a better picture of the condition but I cant.
Please advise. Thank u.

Hi bro,

Sorry for my late reply due to a busy week with Aquarama 2015. Thanks a lot for your compliment and suggestion and in fact we do have a bigger unit that is specially customized for large pond or farm usage. But because it is for commercial use, we did not advertise it. I will try to take a photo of it and post it up here for everyone to take a look at it.
