Very nice! It is going to be a long wait for mine to arrive in sept

 

[Lauris]

just a quick one
flooded yesterday.
still need to look for what to
plant in right top corner
will upload some better pics today or tmrw

 

[Lauris]

Ok. Few more pics of flooding it and once water cleared

so just few more plants and my Betta will swim in by the end of September
not safe enough now as I would like to keep co2 for a while a bit over the levels

also some lily pipes needs to be sorted I guess

Hi Lauris

How is this going now? I'm planning something very similar to this but lo tech., my tank is a 35cm(ish) cube and I've got a 2213 sitting in the shed but I thought the flow might be too much for a Betta?

Cheers

James

Hi James!

No betta in yet. Plants are doing great but that's another storey. .will do some photo update this weekend.

I believe I have reduced current but not enough. I will come up with something and will update post. No time yet doue beeing too busy at my work

 

[Lauris]

solution reducing flow in eheim2213. at the moment will try to run for few days. I have 2 valves on intake. I just closed them both for 1/4th. flow looks perfect for betta. will see how this will last in long run. there was another solution online I found..

but I will try to get away with this now.

Ok! Time for another update!

plants doing well.
2 weeks til Betta will be in. Decided to move my 2 yellow rasboras from another nano!
I say I love them. Will add another 3 or 4. I hope Betta won't mind a little company.
Have read on different forums they can get easy away with these, but that's more depends
on particular Betta temperament. Will see how it will act, if needed I always can move yellow
rasboras to to one of my other tanks. One Amano shrimp went along with few snails.
So far solution to reduce current with 2 walves closed on 1/4th on intake forks fine.

unfortunately the one posted here earlier passed away..
but this Sat. I will collect this one..
It should really pop-out in this tank. I hope he will like
his new apartments

Seems to be my solution with 2 stop valves on intake resolved the problem.
As I mentioned above, I closed bot of them for 1/4th and flow dropped to 1/2.
So far the filter does not give any weirdo sounds or something. so you can try
and it is easy enough way out with a great control of current.
Tomorrow Betta will swim in. So will see what he will think about..

collecting my Betta tomorrow!
excited over the roof! like a little boy!


I guess my wife she is right!

ok

meet Rocky!

this male has some serious balls! love my new addition!

 

[Lauris]

Just a quick update. As I closed my Fuval nano project (takes too much time for me to maintain 3 nanos)
moved to this one a bit of cuba carpet, monteCarlo and riccia fluitans (love this plant), I will leave it for few weeks
with no trimming, love it goes bushy

Looking great Lauris.... apart from the last post, I can't see the pictures
