A New Filtration

It's interesting on occasion dealing with the older generations.
Because you don't usually think of how the care of fish and fish tanks have changed over the years.
I mean, techy stuff, like computers and phones and cars and such...yah you totally see how that's changed.
But fish tank equipment?
You don't really think of that changing much. 

Yet. It has....
Like going from florescent lightbulbs to LEDs is the most visible change. 

But another one, is the type of filtration people use. 
The trend for a long while was like the undergravel filters....which have since switched to over the back filters and like canister filters. 

*shakes head*
In any case.
I had a customer come into the store looking to upgrade her tank for her fish.
And she was wondering if the tanks we had on the shelf came with the filters that had the 'tubes'

Which after a little bit of questioning.
She was talking about the air pump system.
Which....doesn't really filter the water, it just bubbles it so that the water doesn't stagnate. 

But the customer apparently didn't know that.
Thought that was the filter system she needed and something.

And so she was rather overjoyed to discovered the new filters...that don't need the tubes or anything.
You just basically need to plug it in and change the filter and walla it works!! lol. 

I don't think she ended up buying any of them today though.
Too many tank options and she was struggling on the price of some of them.

Sooo we'll see if she comes back.
But at least she knows there's an easier method of filtering her tank now.
