excluding glass pipes of course as there's no size for my filter tubing and I do not want to use reducer.:) I want to hide the tubing behind some tall plants (e.g. vallisneria and etc). The intake will be just your normal intake but the outlet will be an elbow bend at the end to "shoot" water...

from using a reactor? I got this photo from the "higher" tech tank tutorial. The article says this goes against filter makers recommendation? but how is this different from using a reactor? maybe there's no difference as reactors would have similar effect to canisters? thank you for the help :)

Some zeolite are sold without bags (e.g. Fluval 2.6Kg zeolite sold in a plastic bottle). Is it okay to put the zeolite directly into the basket? also how big (approximate diameter) zeolite that are sold by Fluval, Aqua One and etc. The local shop was selling them (n bulk and he seems to be...

this is the 2nd basket on my 1200LPH canister. It uses porous noodles from Fluval. Looking at it, it seems half-full. I think it could fit another box (1.1Kg) of the media but it might be almost full. . This is the 2nd basket of my 2000LPH canister. As you can see, I'm using plastic pot...

like from top to bottom, what's the arrangement? (e.g. top basket = bioballs, middle = noodles and bottom basket = wool) I am assuming the inlet and outlet are both on top. maybe the arrangement does not matter? Thank you

let it go through the nitrogen cycle so it would end up as nitrate (which I believe are good for plants)? there are various filter media that can remove ammonia with zeolite being the cheapest I believe. Any thoughts? Thank you

I was checking an online shop and beyond the "bioballs" and carbon and noodles, they sell zeolite and other local costs filter material. They also have some not so cheap ones from seachem and others. so what low-cost/not to expensive "special" material have you used in your canister? which one...

Hello. I was looking at a setup that includes a 4ft tank, halide lighting and sump filtration. I do not think the current owner has tested the sump or the powerheads. but it seems powerheads are cheap so I am not that worried. But what are the things I need to look at in the sump itself? It is...
