i have one of them and i put a fine sponge in it and it works fine
Hell ya 🙏
Great video dude. Gave me a wee boost to get back into the saltwater game with a simpler set up. Hope it’s going well for you.
Pretty much anything, including foam will grow enough of the needed bacteria. You need low oxygen to grow anorobic bacteria, not loads of surface area. So a tank with very low or no current. Most tanks just won't grow it.
Only add small uv light then perfect
I thought was going to be smaller. Its massive
Love the straight up and to the point video
Too bad , you don’t upload videos anymore
Not snobbery. You can do it with canisters, of course you can - but its two to three times the work. I had a reef tank with a canister filter for 8 years. It was hard work, there was so much detritus in the bio balls and filter pads, and I didn’t want to kill off the bacteria by rinsing in new salt water - so I rinsed in 50% old water and 50% new salt water. And strained the bio balls 20 at a time. I think it was 30-40 minutes each time to thoroughly clear out each of the 2 Eheims. Also did wet the floor a lot everytime disconnecting them. Nowadays I have a sump and it takes me 2 minutes after a water change to rinse out the filter sock, or just 1 minute to put in a new filter sock. And unless you clean out the filter canister every week, like you can do with a filter sock, there is no way a canister will ever be as efficient as a sump in limiting nitrate buildup. Having said all that, I can see why people use canisters for reef tanks. I did for 8 years. You might only have a small apartment and can only fit in a small aquarium. Or you might only have room for a canister and have to have a UV. Because most Sumps with a UV - have 2 pumps. Or you were brought up with canisters and just prefer them. One of the most beautiful reef setups I ever saw live was setup in the 1990s and had an undergravel filter and a giant refugium with seaweed on the side, admittedly that half of the tank didn’t look as good. So no one is judging or being snobs. But there is no doubting that sumps are the easier method. Anyway well done for a great video.
Priming them can be a pig, getting fed up with mine now
I had a local fish store owner who was a hobbyist at heart along with his mother and sister. They call had amazing reef tank and believe it or not they all used hang on back filters, and used deep sand beds. He never promoted the need for a sump or skimmer.
Put the blue tab over so the basket won't float up
Man i just panicked and thru in chemiclean now i regret it and dont know what to do
Yeah. Stoof em 🙌
what are this aquarium measurements ?
Glad I found this video.. I have a rimmed tank, would this fit or would I need to extend the pipes somehow?
Any links for the canister the original links gine dead i reallt like this set up gave m great ideas
Flow rate on stardard evo pump is 500lph
I bought all pond solutions apc 1000very quiet less then 1/2 price of ehime review on Amazon says better then ehime
MICROMEC is the Best
I have bow fronted 260 litre fluval tank would this fit?
I think it's a lot better using the default gravels. To turbocharge it you just need to mod it a lil bit By transferring the bubbler into the 2nd to last chamber and closing the holes under. That way you are improving the filtration by a LOOOT.
I am going to try this in a few months how often if ever do you clean the biological filter
Would you put one of these in a 60 gallon on low speed 🤷🙏✌️🇨🇦
Good review! I did the same and bought this one before ever researching.
Seachem Metrix is better in my opinion
its ok for 25 lt aquarium?
Тебе лампочку в рот засунуть,и посмотреть,обсуждая спокойно это,нет слов хочется обматерить и по лицу ударить,какого хрена это пускают в интер?
Hello. I got the same pump and tank but the pump produces too much noise. The water level in the filter drops 10cm below compared the level in the tank. Is this normal? The noise is louder than the stock one.
Where did you buy and a name If you don’t mind
Do you run the UV steriliser continuously?
So i have a fluval evo 13.5 with the stock nozzle assembly, can i just replace the nozzle for better flow or should i just order the whole assembly upgrade?
Thinking of getting this for my Fluval Flex 55L tank, although i'd only be able to install it on the side of the tank. Would that affect things in any way? Thinking that I will have to be smart and cut holes in the lid to fit the pipes through if I went for it. Currently using an Oase Bioplus 100 internal filter and looking for something thats far more superior at filtering.
Why not just modify the filtration that flex has
How do you use/attach the airline tube that comes with it? Can I use it to run an airstone?
Do you get much in the oase prefilter due to the APS pre filter ?
How did this work out for you ? I’m looking to set up a little 100 litre Nano in the office but don’t really want the noise of a sump. I have a much larger sumped reef in the house. I like the idea of the pre filter but wonder if I could just use the APS prefilter and maybe a more budget friendly canister ? Thought process is if I can I could then fund a cheato reactor on the outlet before returning to the tank. With a glass flow and return pipe could look pretty smart.
There is a bioholmes marine!!!!
I bought a cool piece of spider wood a few days ago and brought it home to boil it and release the tannins. For some reason the wood has taken on a very dark color in my tank (almost black). Does all spider wood do this?I was really hoping for something a bit lighter.
I already glued my plants on 😃
Why you don't bather put on airtube??? This tells nothing about noise level! Waste of time
What a load of shit you are talking fella 🤣 Where do you get your source of scientific information from
the best filters in the world I would recommend to everyone
I use this item on my nano reef and they do great job.
Hi, I've been running a marine reef tank for years in a 3ft x 12 x 15, and yes, I've had other hobbyists saying that I'd be better with a sump. Thanks for the video it was very informative. I'll invest in some nitrate removing medium for my filter as I do have problems keeping my nitrate levels down.
Isn't it nice. I am a massive APS fanboy :-) he he
Late by three years here but man, glad you didn't go with bare bottom on this. barebottom just looks so ugly to me and I'm not sure why anyone does it honestly. don't like cleaning the substrate? get animals for it and stay with a shallow inch. people make some odd choices tbh
your video is worth nothing a long as you do not show real results in your tank. I mean, how can we know if you did not have any leak of nitrates and so on. Just setting up a canister and saying it works is kinda useless.
Looks like a good idea hopefully it works well. Your tank over a fortnight might not be the best test for this. It looks like you mostly have root feeders in your tank, and from seeing how this works, I think it's designed more with water column feeders in mind. Some of the nutrients will still get to the roots, I'm just not sure how much of a difference you'll see in a fortnight.
Good comment. This experiment was a total fail. The entire tank is almost only Echinodorus sp. which are notorious root feeders. The "paper bit" is a sensitive membrane that gets damaged by the oils on your hands once you touch it. Also, one V30 dose is designed to last 30 days. After what is essentially half a dose in a tank full of root feeders, this setup doesn't make any sense. I realize this was years ago but the products still exist so I figured I might as well share this information in case somebody needs it in the future.
Comprei um que chegou no sábado, é extremamente barulhento.
Could you please update your filtration, have you made any changes?
