Hi mate, up to now I'm very impressed with it. I had a play a play with it when I refilled the old tank but didn't really pay any notice to the noise, too busy playing with buttons.
I got this tank filled last night and had another play, it's silent mate, I can't hear a thing! This is just the pump alone though. I suppose the real test will be when it's plumbed in and got some head to deal with. I can't see it making much difference though, if any. I'll let you know anyway. Up to now its a perfect pump. Watts vs LPH is great, silent (up to now) a few buttons to play with and a decent price. (compared to the abyzz pump I have in my dreams
) The pump is the most expensive part of this build so I'm glad I didn't cock it up! Recommended up to now
It's been 12 hours now since I filled the tank and up to now, all good
I'll leave it for today and then I can get on with sorting the final hard scape out and getting some sub in, going with theTesco cat litter. I've been after some slate like what @
Troi has in his latest tank. Looks amazing but no luck up to now. I have some gritstone which I collected but it's just not going to fit in with the look I want.
Looking at the light now with the water in, looks like I won't have to wind it back after all. I'll see how it goes.
I need to decide on a background too ASAP. I always go black but I'm not sure on this one??
The tannins have started already, it's going to take some leaching all this wood
*All the photos up to now are PPP phone pics. As soon as the scapes done I'll get the proper camera out and start putting a decent effort in
