Hello. This aquarium got the 328 place at IAPLC, and the 64 at CAIC! Will post more results has they arrive. Sem título by Gonçalo Silva, no Flickr

I have a Viv wave scissors and a straight tweezer. It’s a good price/quality item from eBay. That’s all you need. For general maintenense I have a tube brush, a tooth brush, a sponge and a Eheim algae scraper.

It’s the L. It’s the ones I got.

I got the Chihiros ones and they are nice. They dont need brackets and you can turn the outflow, plus you can dismantle it for cleaning which is a very nice feature.

Yes it works. Sem título by Gonçalo Silva, no Flickr Sem título by Gonçalo Silva, no Flickr

Yes. 17 is the magic number.

Just silicone it or secure it with a cable tie to a rock and your done. With the cable tie thing you can move it around. And that can be helpful sometimes.

Hi there. This aquarium was dismantled and the final photo sent to contests. In October will post the final shot. Cheers.

i'm no expert in shrimp but that looks like a fire red or a high grade red sakura.

Força nisso!

I will inviting myself and bring a case of Super Bock! :happy:

Another good layout Tiago! Show us an update!

Try it and didn't like it. Sturdy, well built, but the bobbles are really small indeed but I had a mist in my tank that looks 7up... The tank is to enjoy and I really enjoy it in that hour when the co2 turn off and the light are still on. So back to the JBL Proflora. SOME of the bobbles are...

Hi Alexander, yes its a Chihiros A series 401. The first light was just a flood led on top of a stand, and since I have this one laying arround here I bough a stand and use it. Atm its on full power 8h a day, thats why the stones are a little bit green :D I still havent found the exact betta...

I never had an UP but i heard stories about leaks... I have an JBL Proflora direct and its very very good. Times to times it makes some bigger bobbles, but dont mind that cause most of the co2 is already diffused. I've got an Chinese one from ebay thats pretty good also, it produces a very very...

That Neo diffuser is very good, I have one and is better that a DoAqua (not using atm, I prefer inline atomizers).

Nice, if you have time go to Belem and eat some pasteis de belem, climb on top of Cristo Rei in Almada and also try go to Malveira to Aquaeden, but only on thursday, it closes sunday and monday.

Originally yes, it was supposed to close in the end of september, but Oceanário decided to extend as long as they can.

I think so, i dont remember. If you can try do reduce the pressure to 1bar. And do a test, maybe theres a leek. Spray some dishwash detergent with water on it and see if you get bobbles. Maybe the co2 is leeking by the chamber. Atm I have this running and I must say that it has the smaller...

Something is wrong with that... In my 90x45x45 I had 3 bobbles and drop was lime green. If I use 4 bobbles will turn yellow. You sure your drop is right?

Just get another power supply, no need for another tc420. They are cheap. The plus of tc420 is if you have a 12v co2 solenoid you can connect there too. It eliminates the needs of noise clocks.

Guys, you are complicating a bit. This controller is exactly the same dimmer that comes with Chihiros, its just electronic, so the thing is to replace the manual dimmer to this one. 1. The connectors are called DC. 2. TC420 have two ways to connect the power supply, one for dc connectors...

Some of the bobbles are large, but most of them are invisible. I know this because the DC shows me. All that we want is invisible co2 in the tank. What is the point of having bobbles waving around, and most or some get in the filter? Its better to put them right in the filter at start. This...

I have cleaned my JBL 3 or 4 times and it always close perfectly. Its running realy nice. I had an do aqua 40mm and I switch off to this one. Its less things inside the tank, and its very efective. It saves a lot of co2 and work cleaning the in tank difuser once a month. Never had an Up...

Yes, pretty much. You can see it here: http://www.tc420.net/ I made a video some time ago: . It doesn't show the dimmer levels exactly cause the phone camera adjusts the light, but you can get the idea. It cames with a computer program at my atm is like this: 00 to 5pm - 1% 5pm to 6 pm -...

I have one of those on a DIY and works perfectly.

I agree with Doyle that the smaller rocks is just for the hardscape pic. Then after a month it's just a hole in the carpet. I would put some medium stones instead.

Thanks Tim. It's a nacional rock. I bought it on a ornamental stone place (sells mostly for decorate gardens) and the sellers told me that is green schist/shale. The white veins are quartz, and is really heavy and hard. I almost brake the floor of my attic trying to smash it in smaller pieces...

Alcohol is the best.

Where can I order one?

Well I think that depends on the type of fish. And in that type the species, and the companion they have. If I put 10 neon and some angel fishes they will stress for sure if no hiding places are supplied, but with no predators I don't think they will mind. My plan for this aquarium is 50...

I had an heavily planted jungle before this one and that was one of the reasons for the changed... No wood, no shadows, no moss, basically carpets and open space ;).

Thanks Konsa for the compliment and the answer. I will try that. I also was advised to check my kh/gh, tomorrow i will make some tests. Its not likely to be hardness problems cause I have another planted tank with amazonia and had no problems at all. You can see it on my signature (Red Canyon)...

I didn't say that we shouldn't keep dogs, I said dogs on a leash/chain. if you have a nice house with a large backyard I think that a dog would be happy. Same for the fish. If you have the florestas submersas aquarium I think fish will be very happy.

Well, if we really really like nature in general we shouldn't have fish in an aquarium, birds in a cage or even a dog on a leach.
