So after what seems like months to me and countless questions I am starting to put the pieces together for my rescape. I just got back from holiday and picked up my jbl e700 filter courtesy of pfk, it will be running along side the standard Juwel box for now. I set it up and had it online within 15 minutes (bearing in mind this is my first external) it is super quiet and seems to have a good flow rate so all in all I am really happy. The only thing I will be adjusting is extending the spray bar as at the moment it only goes half way along the back of the tank. <br /><br />Anyway tank stats (once finished)<br />Tank:Juwel rio 180<br />Filters: bio flow 600 and JBL crystalprofi e700<br />Heater: Juwel 200 watt<br />Lights: 2 x t5 45 watt bulbs with reflectors <br />Co2: 2kg co2 fire extinguisher, easy aqua twin gauge reg with built in solenoid and needle valve, bubble counter, drop checker, diffused using DIY cerges reactor. <br />Substrate: Pool filter sand<br />Plants:TBC<br />Livestock:As in signature<br />Hard scape: Bog wood and Dragon stone<br />Fertiliser: EI dosing and JBL 7+13 root tabs<br /><br />So at the moment I have the new JBL filter cycling so to speak so I have as much beneficial bacteria as possible when rescape day comes, hopefully a couple of weeks from now. <br />So far I have purchased, on top of the standard Juwel equipment; Fire extinguisher, regulator, spray bar extras, root tabs and the filter housing for the cerges reactor. <br /><br />I will have purchased the rest of the equipment and materials before I start obviously but I have a little time while the new filter cycles. That's about it for now I will keep you posted on new purchases and when I will be starting the rescape. 🙂
