Sorry no link as on phone but it is on eBay and Amazon. Mine arrived without screws to clamp it to the tank so the seller has posted some.

Thanks .
Did you solve the JBL filter problem.

 

[Lindy]

Jbl sent me a new hose lock bit for the canister as that was the last place I could think it was sucking air from. I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to fit it so the filter is out in the garage for now. Hopefully that will solve it but who knows.

I need to replace the stainless steel inlets too as they are too short for a 60cm deep tank. Maybe I'll use one when I set up my juwel 180 otherwise I wasted money on stainless steel pipes.

So it is about 6 weeks or thereabouts since this was planted. The o bubble and jet were to be replaced by 2 o bubble lilys from co2 supermarket but the lilys had a much smaller 'ball' and were not suitable for my needs so co2 supermarket were kind enough to let me return them. I now have a spray bar on the right side facing left across the tank. There is a jet on the left corner facing forward and down.
The fish have been moved in plus 20 pencil fish. The paros seem especially happy with 2 males having nests in the caves and visiting females.

Not much doing...still trying to get light right as I have a dusting of green algae on the substrate. Pulled the lily out on the left side as the flow either tied it in knots or pulled the leaves under. Not really liking the island on the left side and thinking about sliding it over to the right.
Flow from the eheim is now coming out one outlet which is a spray bar on the right hand side. Believe it or not, this creates ample circular flow and my crypt balansae flows in the right direction.
I added a beautiful floating plant the name of which I now can't remember. Asian water grass or something like that. It has beautiful roots. The lily on the right has 3 leaves on the surface. Eventually I'll take out the salvina natans. New fish added recently have been 9 corydoras habrosus and chocolate loach

.

I have to mention the nightmare of yesterday when I was netting out my male betta simplex from the 80x60x40 tank. He is holding fry so I wanted him separated. Anyway, caught him quickly and was congratulating myself when he jumped out of the net and went down the back of the tank. I shouted Oh My God!!!! He's going to die!!!! My husband had just arrived home from work. He rushed through and pulled the tank and stand out of the alcove, something I would never have managed as full it weighs over 250kg! Fish was quickly caught and is still holding his fry today.

Husband currently has hero status! The female betta is holding a vigil where she can see her mate in the hob.

Sorry for long winded post!

That floating plant could be Hygroryza aristata

 

[Lindy]

That is the one EdwinK, thanks.

Can I ask where you got the paros from and what you feed them.

Your tank rocks! Sorry your tiger lotus didn't work out - it was beautiful I can't imagine how your husband moved that - is he superman?! Glad you rescued your Betta and hope snorkeling is going well
