They must have different variations then. My one is 16/22. You can find them on APS website

Never heard of that particular use for it!! Have you modified the internals? Or just injecting CO2 before the inlet??

The way it is setup: on outlet of external I have inline diffuser, injecting co2 in that filter booster. In filter booster I have only plastic media (jbl balls) to catch up co2 and dissolve it better. And outlet of filter booster goes back to the tank.
Did a lillte comparing test. With glass diffuser I had to run my co2 at 6-7bps to get 45ppm. With this approach I run only 3-4bps to get to 45ppm. Only approx number, as this measure was taken by Kh and Ph

Could not hold back myself. Transferred live stock from my Nano tank. 3 Dwarf puffers and dozen of Cherries, as dwarf puffers love cherries. ha
next week I will get few amanos to clean up fungus.. but it gets better..

Which type of inline diffuser are you using? Do you find it the additional 'filter booster' reduces your flow by much??

The one I have is co2art Intense Atomizer. Prefilter reduces sone amount of the flow, but I'm not sure how much exactly, as I do not feel short having 1400lph filter on 90l tank

They are not eaten. They hiding well. If i do not let my puffers to starve, they won't be eaten. They can go after babies, but I'm fine with that as I have these breeding like a mad in other tank. Don't want to let them take over in this 😉

Hoi all!
It is the time for another update:
*Fungus is stepping back. Finally I feel like a winner. It felt like so much forever that I got used to it.
*Because of the fungus some plants suffered. I could not keep up maintenance more than once per 2-3 days. Deep clean of fungus, large (90%) water changes, cleaning filter
and hoses, hovering stones etc, etc.. it took a lot of effort as it was coming back every day and sometimes there was a 2-3cm layer of it. Worst fungus case in my experience.
*The moss added on first day is nearly gone, but I added recently Pellia moss. More of it is on the way. So I will cover the sharp cut of stump itself.
*1 pot of Microsword planted. I hope to keep it very low and not let it take over the place.
*Added 5 Amano shrimps and 10 corydoras habrosus. Moved out 2 Dwarf puffer females as they showed the most interest to corry tails and fins. However the male does not
bother about other fish at all. Will leave him in for pest snail control
and as always.. a little photo update:
Thank you for reading

They are fitted with an adapter for 18/25, you remove it and you'll find it's actually a 16/22 fitting.

Hi all!
After some time of inactivity it is the right time for another update.
Things does not look as bad anymore, but still, I'm far away from where I want to be with this tank
So what happened:
1. Heaviest fungus case in my life. It is over now. But it took a lot of buce, as it came back every second day in 2cm thick layer. I just could not keep up with the maintenance
2. Went into some algae issues. BBA, GSA and GHA.. GSA sorted easily with potassium, for rest - adjusted the lights, improved flow, co2 distribution and nutrients. Still in the process of recovery, but it gets better
3. As there was nearly no plant mass I could not balance the nutrients and rest. Added decent amount of spiky moss and took apart my 19l Anubias petite tank to supply with petite this project.
4. Made some changes in shapes - added branches with petite, now it does not look as naked.
5. Added live stock. 6 Black Emperor tetras, 5 Denison barbs, 2 Red Lizard cats, now I feel it is a decent community tank. Initially it was not the plan, but I like how alive it is now.
Trying to keep up with the wc, mostly doing about 80% weekly on general maintenance day and if I have a time, another 35% during the week.
And few photos to sum up:

I've been wondering how things are going with you - miss your frequent photos!
they really are good
Seems tank is finally going where you'd like 🙂
though I'll mourn
(an army of nerites will usually take on fungus too aggressive or untasty for shrimps - I couldn't find my fav snail site 🙁 but at least PI has some photos 🙂 )

Sadly S denisonii will get too large/too boisterous for this tank (size) but lively while you can keep them 😎

Fantastic photos! Once grown in, this tank will look very natural! 😎
