Hi, im sure this question has been asked before, but can large pond filters be used for home tropical aquariums(pressurised* or trickle tower/box filters #) ? has anyone had any experience with using these or know of any articles for correct conversions etc? Im soon to start a new 200 plus...

Hi, I have a small 40L tank, currently running a RESUN Cyclone Mini External Filter 3W 200L/H, in addition to a small internal 300L/H fitler. I am thinking of an upgrade and spending a bit more money ie eheim, tetratec etc. I do need sufficient flow, so i dont have to have the internal filter...

Re: How does CO2 concentration vary between DIY and Pressuri ...A simple question does not always produce a simple answer! :wink: I was not expecting such an indepth answer - interesting none the less! Thank you, you seem to be a valuable resourse to this forum!

Hi, Simple question... How does the concentration of carbon dioxide gas vary between that produced by a DIY set up (fermentation) to that from a pressurised system, with matching volumes? For example, would 10ml of CO2 (in volume) from a DIY system contain the same number of CO2 particles as...

thats where im going wrong then! i stand corrected - thankyou! life is a learning experience... i will do my research. it really is annoying though as i had to take out a mat of HC aprox 1ft square due to hair algae! the HC was pearling every day and growing very fast. my JBL permanent CO2...

Nick16 - iv got a 40L tank with the Resun CY-20. One of the main comments i get about the tank is how crystal clear the water is! granted, the flow of the filter is a bit low, but i was running it for about a year withjout a problem. on my main 120L tank im running an Ex600. from my limited...

im using a Rena Smart Heater as the pre-filter but rather than spending £20 on the rena External Filter Connection Kit I simply brought two 90degree pipe connectors and created a 'U' bend dropping down the the filter, costing me £1!. for the return, i am using the spray bar vertically. this...

hi, im running a Resun CY-20 for my 40L planted tank. the instructions say "it should be limited in 50cm between the level of the filter bottom and the water surface in aquarium". because i have a large kitchen, the filter sits behind the coffee maker at the same level of the tank. i shouldnt...

i have been running this small volume external filter on my 40L planted tank. priming can be difficult to master as there is no self priming button but it is cheap and silent! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RESUN-Cyclone-Min ... 29fe424b5e

a pointless question i have often wondered about... Filtered water + carbon dioxide = Carbonated water assuming this is correct, could a cheap bottle of carbonated water from tesco/asda/sainsbury's etc (usually priced at around 10p for a 2L bottle) provide adequate CO2 if used in place of a...

I currently have the Super Fish Aqua-Qube 40 as a planted kitchen tank, running with a small external filter and medium bioload (10+ shrimp and 5 smalll fish) My wife brought it for me, but i think it cost about £60. (including a 18W light pod and small internal filter). although it is...

Re: ?Running a Second External Canister Filter Inseries/Inli Yes, my idea exactly! Has anyone used one of these? Those "outside tape" push fits look abit hazardous do they not...!?

I agree with both your comments - its just been an idea floating in my head - something which doesnt happen very often! My concern with my current set up is, as Ed said, CO2 injection. Ideally i want to remove the need to use the trickle filter so i can introduce a CO2 system. however because...

:idea: Question... Has anybody ever tried to run a second canister filter inline (in series) to the main filter?! I am of the opinion of maximum filtration volume, but i like to keep minimal equipment in my tank. I want to increase my filtering capacity in my main 130L tank. I currently use a...

I am running a nano planted tank with a very small external filter, with DIY CO2. i have experimented with several methods and have found this to be the best "in-line reactor": - By connecting a tiny air tube (2mm diameter) about 40mm from the end of the outflow, and directing the outflow pipe...
