    Chris I understand the situation the major problem is you don't get housing which are transparent in India secondly getting all this designs n fashionable products in India is nor possible no one imports them rather I do not even get sera reactors all use in line atomizer or diy reactors

    My sump design was wrong .....water flow was reaching the pump slow ......removed all the partitions now the flows consistent the pumps not dry running now will add some plastic box to filtration so that I get loads of water volume for the pump thats returning ...... Learning a lot that's...

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    The pump I think is too speedy getting dry run but when speed slowed its rerurning well now will place atomizer in front of pump or to the return of the pump its becoming more n more frustrating now coz the spray bar thing not working I feel a 3000 lph pump was good for this Tomorrow will put...

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    exactly what I wanna put .........I could have done nice with a 2217 by just increasing the flow by adding some wave makers then I was advised to add spary bar the idea I liked ...so went for sump & pump the simplest was .....to use a strong filter like Fluval fx6 on.... and just few wave...

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    I realized that as I did not see any flow ....so I put the spray bar a little ahead now and little better flow planing for a sump now then going for a filter was going for Fluval fx6 but I think sump with a 3500lph pump would do fine for me......Thank you all with all the advice plants are doing...

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    All 5000 lph pumps are submersible ......then only option is to shift to Fluval fx6

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    but I am just using the single power head with it ..............for the external canister i am using a lily pipe .....do lily pipe give flow in 5 feet tanks ......as seen in ADA videos they use lily pipes for such tanks how about adding a couple of wave makes n forget about the spray bar...
  40. HemantKumar

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    but why the flow is so less .....even after 2800 lph power head used its 4 feet long spray bar with 1 1/2 inch distance holes
  41. HemantKumar

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    made the spay bar now in function but when submerged in water flow is less above the water flow is much good running it with a 2800lph power head but still getting less flow a question spray bar should be above water level or below
  42. HemantKumar

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    That's the reason my drawing will work The power head will increase the flow rate what a bigger filter would do Increasing the spray bar and from the power head will increasec circulation That's what the objective is for now As 2217 holds the sme media capacity as an bigger filter wud do
  43. HemantKumar

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    How can I Improve more (500lts planted)

    Just was wondering will this work 1- co2 passes through the atomizer making fine bubbles 2- passes through the outflow pipe of the canister filter and reach the inlet of the power head joint with T where the wheel of the power head further breaks the co2 bubbles down and push it from the...
