Would someone with Daennerle Scaper's tank please respond for more information about the tank (pros en cons)?
Hi, I have the scapers 50ltr tank and it sits next to an aquaone 20ltr on the same larger aquarium stand.
Pros
I like the rounded corners
I like that the filter is external
No tank taken up with a black divider either as in the aqua nano range.
I like the dimensions
The lamp is ample for my particular plant needs - which is reasonably low tech - I dose liquid carbon and ferts and have Colombo substrate - though - so perhaps not that low tech! Plants seem happy with the lamp and I run this for 5.5hrs a day. Dosing 7mil of co2 and ferts a week.
I have 7cpd fish and they all seem happy.
No major algae issues that the 2ottos or half dozen shrimp aren't able to munch through.
I like the glass cover.
Cons
The filter could be a bit stronger.
The filter needs to hang on the tank to provide max flow. It doesn't bother me so much, but if you were considering an inline heater this option wouldn't be available as there is limited line to put it in! Lol
The clamp part of the arm that's used to hold the lamp in place snapped on me. I now prop the lamp up with an empty mini jam jar.so no big deal.
I like the scapers tank.
I've not used the super fish range.
I'll try and add a pic for you later this eve.
Regards
Richard
