A Dutch Touch - 27.04.2014

 

[Hamza]

Now I see the defined shapes coming along...as always I am impressed by the vigour of this tank.

 

[Ady34]

Stunning!

Amazing, beautiful, epic...and all those words already said. You seem to have to much light and not enough flow...?? no spray bars???....but it works great for you.
I know you have to filters, but what is their turnover?

 

[alex08]

Still more work needs to be done on the right side and to the foreground plants.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, guys .

Martin, i have two external filters and two powerheads that do the work now. Lighting is the same, 234w (Giesemann Aquaflora and Midday) for 7 hours a day.

 

[Martin in Holland]

Any more info on how much total turn over those filters and powerheads have? (liter per hour)
I'm only asking so I can learn from it, cause I'm still not happy with the growth of my plants in my (almost) 300liter tank.

 

[alex08]

Ok Martin, here we go :

Filters :
Eheim 2322 - 500 liters per hour
Hailea HF 150 - 900 liters per hour

Powerheads :
Aquael Fan Mini - 260 liters per hour
Resun SP600L - 260 liters per hour

Beautiful aquarium Alex.

Thanks a lot, Tim.

Here is another view :

Man....this tank is awesome how healthy everything looks....Do you just aim your filter outlets to the front?
Teach me...

 

[Hamza]

Love this setup!
I guess I am asking this for second time(I remember asking you on a different forum sometime back)..is it still running on PPS Pro?

And lighting in photographs seems tad low. Is it really that low?

 

[alex08]

Yes Martin, both externals are aimed to the front. In the next video i'll let the equipement in so you can see how it looks and works every day.

Hamza, it's still running on Trace Mix Plus and PPS-Pro. Two months ago i've started adding more K2SO4 along with the PPS-Pro and all the plants are growing even healthier.
On FTS i allways play with the lighting (2-4-6 bulbs) and camera ISO. I think the black sticker in the back has a big role too.

 

[Martin in Holland]

Can't wait to see that video you mentioned....
