Both pop reds very nicely, for that size the e series is more than enough for almost anything Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através do Tapatalk

Hi, I've ordered one and it just arrived, and the nipple seems to be metal as well, only the washer is plastic. But, just crossed my mind, as it seems to be made of aluminum, is it safe for shrimps? It seems really well built, very sturdy with really nice plastic parts. Enviado do meu HUAWEI...

That's a common problem with that type of reactors. I've used one of those but inside a cabinet, and the noise wasn't high enough to be eard. I believe you would got to have a really low bubble rate so it wouldn't build up gas pockets, which is what causes the noise. Enviado do meu HUAWEI...

It really was a great event, the scapes where awesome, and the people to. It was really nice to meet you Paulo

Fortunately I will be in London for a short vacations, this event is my top priority now [emoji108][emoji16].

Awesome scape. The glue you use, is it the normal one or is it special? Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Well, I'll be in London for a short vacation, will try hard to be there [emoji5]

Sorry, I meant silicone based. Will edit the post Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

It's said that petroleum based vaseline will deteriorate the rubber, so you should always use water based vaseline. It must be ok to use in the impeller as it as no rubber parts and is safe for fish. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

I wish I Could say something useful, If I could, I would. About the custom cabinet, did you choose the design? Because I like how the doors cover all the front, unlike the Ada style ones. And I hope you use that awesome camera for way more than aquariums and fishes [emoji106] Enviado do...

It must be hard to replicate that inside the aquarium... Great hardscape [emoji50] Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Single would be enough, but the spread would be far better with the double one. I believe it comes with a dimmer so you would be able to dim if you find that you have to much light. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Almost any fish will eat them, apart from fish like ottos. Tetras will love them. Don't worry about getting rid of them. Normally they are a sign of good water quality. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Check for ostracods in Google, see if they look the same Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Well, I actually used 2 filters, the jbl running an ista inline reactor, and an ecco pro 300 with inline heater. The jbl wasn't capable of lifting the dirt out of the moss on the opposite side of the outflow. Even with the reactor, it made almost half the lph than the ecco pro with the same...

I've had a e901 in a 80x40x40 tank, it will not be enough also. You would be better with the e1501 or a pro 3/4 250 or 350. I currently use a 350 and I'm very pleased. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

I believe the member tmiravent is a good person for you to ask, he made some nice measurements of some led lights available, and I believe he used something like an Apogee!!! Not really sure Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Great equipment you have there. How is the light in the corners? Wouldn't it be better if the lights were rised a bit to improve coverage? Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Isn't refraction "physics"? [emoji55] Is the drainage hole of the sink bellow the target water level? If so, you could start the syphon and then attach the hose, with a hose clip and sucker, close to the drain. Not sure if I'm being clear enough... Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de...

It's Easter, probably people are busy with family. Looking forward to see some pictures. Happy Easter Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Wouldn't a big co2 leak be noticeable, as in ice where the leak is? Does the cylinder have a valve? Have you closed it? Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Well, you can't bend physics... If the tap is to high than you probably can't do anything. You could buy a powerhead and use the system you have only for filling the tank. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Bem-vindo Gonçalo, vais adorar este fórum.

I like it, for me the style fits very well the low tech part of the hobby. Are those all separate twigs or just one piece of wood? Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Really nice. How is the brightness of the rgb compared to the a series? Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

I've used a 60 cm a-series in a 80cm tank with similar legs, you just lose the possibility to lift them more as you have to use the longest side to hold the light. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

I do, I like them and didn't really notice any drop in flow. Though I'm only using one in each hose Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

Two chihiros will be enough for almost anything. I'll put an excellent example in a bit. Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

That's an awesome scape, wish I could do something like that. What kind of hot glue did you use, is it a special one? Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

For that size, the filter is really short. I would suggest a eheim pro 4 350 or jbl e1501. Chihiros are cheap and there's a 90 cm light Enviado do meu HUAWEI GRA-L09 através de Tapatalk

No The green part at the bottom of the image. Once I've bought pretty cheap a noisy and with low flow 2211, the only problem it had was the pieces were upside down. If the bottom one is restricting the flow, maybe the filter isn't able to purge the air. Well, sorry for my English, not sure if...

Have you put the riser in the bottom with the little feets pointing down?

Although I think that the filter( don't know about the media inside it) is well fitted to a 60p, what OP asked was about the swirl, so I only mentioned that. Not saying that you are wrong, just was not what he asked, at least directly.

It may be because of the film build up, that creates more tension in the surface, so that swirl is harder to achieve. Right after the water change you won't have any film, and 2 days after it may be not really visible but still, it is there.

Haha, my daughter is practicing your excellent lesson

Yeah, all the canisters I've had made similar noise in the first 2 or 3 weeks, then they start going silent. They need to develop a bit of mulm around the impeller

[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] Beautiful tank... Really natural looking

Nice, please post lots of tips for the nano reef

The cabinet looks flawless. Great diy skills there

Like hygrophila pinnatifida?

Sincerely... I hope he doesn't.

The normal a601 are great and really worth it. Those are the same but wider, so I guess they are better for light spreading.

The rgb lights that I've saw make everything look a bit like plastic, although, I like the improvement in red plants.

It seems you overtightened it.

Those are rhabdocoelas, perfectly safe, normaly are a sign of good water quality. If there's to much, you've must been overfeeding. I've read also that if there are to much out of the substrate, it can be lacking oxygen in the bottom.

I've always saw them like that, coarse for pre filtering then biomedia, and filter floss should be the last step. At least in a classic 150, 250, ecco pro an jbl e901.

Hi Carpman, how good is the flow in the pro 4, I'm tempted to buy one for my 80x40x40 (128) liters.

Beautiful tank, amazing colors. How good is the jbl atomizer?

Awesome, would you mind if I copy it? [emoji4].

I don't usually like fake trees in aquascape but the one showed here is absolutely awesome

Beautiful tank. Why would you clean the rocks? They look aged, it looks nice to me.

Wow, wow, wow, beautiful tank. Love the plant in the filter.

Mine looks exactly as those sukima in the link. Very similar to manten to. So those are only different names for the same rock? In a local store site I've seen something similar with the name frodo stone. Thanks guys.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but can anyone tell me what rock is this. Was sold to me as being Pagoda stone. It has a bronze / brown color. Thanks

Again? There's another post from perhaps a month ago that the op said that green machine advised the same. Nobody does that. It's OK to cycle amazonia if you're going to start a shrimp tank for example, or adding to a stocked aquarium. http://www.ukaps.org/forum/index.php?threads/42382/

You shouldn't, plants love amonia and that would jump start them.

Are you sure they are cardinals, they could be simulans.

You can use yoga mats to?

I use one of the glass skimmer type and I love it until I have to clean it [emoji33]. I don't have any issues with co2, according to my dropchecker, but I do not use a in tank diffuser but a reactor, don't now if it helps. Mine is set to suck more from de bottom than from the top and is...

Stunning tanks, really like them both. Didn't know bamboo leaves could be used.

So, is fimo really safe for shrimp?

Será? Se assim for vai ter uma bela surpresa, mas acho que sabe. Eheh Fish must be so happy in there

Humm, this one is new to me, I've never seen anyone doing that.

Nice scape an awesome light stand [emoji106]

Will search on ebay for that brush cleaner. I'm planing to make a stand for my eheim automatic feeder. Is the old one, without the stand. Thanks for all the tips.

I'll have to search for dichloromethane then. I'm not from U. S. nor U. K. but from Portugal :). Thanks for the great response.

What glue did you use, the specific one for acrylic? Does super glue work?

Sorry for the late reply, do you still want the measurements?

It's a twinstar. Really nice scape, another one to follow.

PORTUGALLLLLLLLLL Granda Éder

Yeah, I've just gave them the measurements and they did it. A pair costed me 8€, and they even gave me a spare one.

Hi bennel, the risers you mention are the ones in my post I believe. If so, they were custom made, in a acrylic specialized store.

Finally a bit of luck to Portugal, the only game that we weren't superiors is the one we managed to win

Subscribed If it was me, I would put eleocharis parvula and some mosses in the dw.

No, never. But a time ago I was about to buy one of those light units, but the main feature I was looking for was sunset and dawn, which that controller (timer) doesn't do. I've ended up buying a zetlight Lancia.

I believe that won't work, you should have bought something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Odyssea-Beamswork-Aquarium-Fixtures-Module/dp/B00PVQFMF6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457654721&sr=8-2&keywords=odyssea+aquarium and it won't even ramp up or down the lights , it will only turn on and of...

Wow, this one and pangolino are my favorites, love the long and pointy shape.

Changing to external filter would be a massive improvement . Perhaps getting some driftwood too. (regarding to looks)

Awesome... The 3rd photo, man, so much power in 100 meters. Tapatalking

Looking awesome, I wish I could do something like that. Could you post a top view? Just to see the planting space. Tapatalking

Hi, already looking great, looking forward for it. BTW, 96 l? Tapatalking

I know eh eh, I was talking about no plants in the scape, reminded me the dead tree concept of norbert sabat. Still beautiful with plants. Subscribed

That's a beauty... I could leave it as it was in the first picture, with no plants at all. Tapatalking

Not working for me to... Tapatalking

Beautifull, very peacefull.

Mine likes to be attached to the substrate, it almost seems that it grows roots. Never managed to attach it to anything else though.

[emoji15] wow, breath of course, sorry. They breed everywhere non stop, not just at the surface lol .......

I believe guppys and molly tend to go regularly to the water surface to breed. They should be OK.

Yeah, it looks great but that sand got to go...

I'm guessing he will not do anything you're suggesting. Many people already told him to change the position of the filter outlet, he said he did but last picture proves him wrong.

I'm starting to believe that people are thinking that "real life" is what they see in contest aquariums ( I'm not talking about Chris Jackson) .

Mine e901 burped all the time just with the bubbles that would pass by, and get caught by the intake.

The jbl e701 will be around 300 lp/h in normal conditions. I have a 15 liter nano low tech, with no co2 and no headaches . I only use a cheap Chinese hob filter that does about 90 lp/h. Will upgrade sooner or later to an eheim and would recommend you the same.

Is it OK to have those led's on wood? They will warm up a bit. Heat will stress the led's and reduce their lifetime.

I believe limpets are an eye sore only, and only if they get out of control. They don't eat plants also.

If it has a shell it probably is a limpet

Welcome. Second tank is already looking good.

That was awesome. Beautiful. I love our country...

Whatever you like, I believe. Check some iwagumi in Google images and choose one you like.
