Day 14
Growing in well, have been doing minimum 50% water change every second day. Light level is on 5 of 7 for the last week so was talking rubbish when I said I wouldn't raise it
Had some dust/diatoms, also seen some green hair or beard algae, have tried removing when I see it. I don't have a test kit so was wondering what's a typical length of time for a Ada soil aquarium to cycle?
Hi Jay, I'm really happy with the filter. Great having the heater out out of the way but not having the faff of a hydor or expensive eheim etc. I've been in the game long enough now not to get caught. up with the brand thing all the time. Says me with an Ada tank lol, but I have cheap all pond solution filter on my trigon 190 and it's magic.How's the filter/heater going looking at investing in one but just wanted to see what u think about it and if u would recommend it
Hi Deansie,
I'm using the exact same filter; some questions:
Does yours make a "sucking" noise every 15 mins or so? I'm trying to ascertain if it's the filter or the c02 kit I have....
Also, does your heater have trouble getting to temp? I can hear mine clicking on / off but the tank always seems to be a few degrees below what I set it to. I think I need to adjust mine...
Thanks.
Hi Elliot, I can't say I've noticed a sucking noise but assume I would have by now, sounds like air is getting into your system somewhere. I've not heard the heater ever click on or off although I have my filter out of the way in a table. To be honest I've not got a thermometer yet (or test kit), I set the heater to 24 and finger tested it ha ha, seemed similar to my trigon so I was happy enough, but I couldnt tell you if there was a noticeable temperature gradient to be honest. Sorry
