วีดีโอ

Not at the moment,I've had problems in my personal life that's not allowed me to carry on,but I will be coming back to the channel and I've got some good ideas to put in .thank you for watching I'll let everyone know once I'm ready to be back again.

That would be brilliant. I saw your final video about eviction and going to Cyprus. I am from North London and also know a bit of Essex, where you were living before I think. I've had many of the same highs and lows as you in this hobby. Hope to see you back at some point.

If you have the space go for the 240 ,it's just a better size and yeah they just about fit ,it does lift the lid a little at the back but the lid just sits on the rim so there's no hinges

I suppose you could try to put garden hose fittings on the python hose and have it inline but the di resin inside really don't last that long if you have large tanks and regular water change ,that's why I settled with either seachem prime or remineraling rodi water .I think though a RO unit is probably best for fresh water setups.i know they don't get rid the nitrates or nitrites or phosphates or any of that stuff but for just dechlorination I think it's probably the most cost effective.

Gotta admit it's really failsafe ,easy to upgrade ("though a more powerful motor would be better") and holds alot of media and you just put it the cor error and it doesn't take too much room on the bigger tanks

@tigertropics5386 I have a 350 liter tank with a bioflow L and 2 sponge filters. It works very good and less electricity needed. I also have a 240 tank with an Oase biomaster 600 and this tank also works good, but way more electricity consumption. So, I have both.

I've got a biomaster 350 I can't stop leaking! I've got it down a trickle but still won't stop !

@@tigertropics5386 replace the rubbers.

Thank you man , just try to make the channel as someone who's finding there way in this hobby , my situation at the moment isn't allowing me to carry on the channel but in a couple of months I'm gonna start again on new things ,so please keep me saved so when I do post you'll get to see it 👍

Yeah it did ,I used it for a while but a horrible shaped tank .Tall and thin

Ok didn't know about the middle section,slowest section of water there ?

@@tigertropics5386 looks great though I’ve got the same great looking tank

Hi thanks for watching,I can't remember at the moment how much media went into my juwel jumbo but it was more than enough ,I always used setup too many filters and go over the top on some of the setups ! .Ive learnt that filter turnover isn't the same as tank turnover.

How did you install 2 of them? There is no pump outlet if you install it on the right side?

Yes they have an outlet on both sides

@@arthurpellett9256 good to know. But that’s only for the XL, right?

Yes possibly that’s the ones I use

I'm not sure ,I think it has different size connectors with it .mine was second hand and came from a marine setup so the piping was at least 22mm .my advice is check out the eheim online store and compare hose sizes with fluvals FX hose size and your going to have to seal the hose on the connectors as well . Here's the fluvial UV clarifier which is designed for the FX filters images.app.goo.gl/92ywYtuW3RpYwrCa6

Hi Lewis ,first of all thank you for watching and id didn't know you couldn't and just mounted that way.i had a friend who mounted the eheim and another that way and I thought it looked neat so done it the same ,try mounting that way see what happens,what's gonna happen 😅 lol

Thank you and thank you for watching 😀

Thanks man , maybe position the output a little up to the surface to disturb the strength of the out or a spray bar would be ok .I used a fluval 306 which seems perfect for a 240 liter tank ,I used the oase filter which was weak .which canister filter you getting? Sunsun, aqueal ?

Well spotted, yeah it was .It was chipped in transit,the tank wasn't perfect it's why I didn't pay any money for it ,I helped the original owner setup he's new tank and he gave this one to me .

It's a nice tank for the money ,cheaper than the fluvial and juwel alternative,only thing is you need your own filtration but you got optiwhite glass instead float glass

It depends on how often your going to do water changes as it doesn't seem to last as long as you'd think .is there a way you can buy water from your local aquarium shop? If not get a spotless water account and use the app to find a local outlet,they are 24hr units so can get it any time.

Oh and thanks man ,I haven't posted anything for a while but I can't wait to start doing content again.

Thank you for replying back and I appreciate the information. Keep up the great work bud. Look forward to seeing more content.

They are not too bad ,you definitely need a wavemaker with it for tank turnaround.the pond guru video opened my eyes to how much media you can put in it and I'll definitely upgrade the pump to the biggest you can put in your filter .

@@tigertropics5386thanks I have added a wavemaker but I saw a nice deal on a canister filter so I am running both filters now instead of upgrading the pump 😬

Hi thanks for watching the channel,yeah I did with a better wavemaker it worked fine , instead of getting hung up with 10x filter turnover I went with 10x tank turn over .this seemed to bring everything up from the bottom and eventually all went into the filter so I kept it because it just looked better and easier to maintain.i do also start with upgrading the filters motor with the 1500 lh pump just because I didn't think the 1000lh was up to it and 3 times tank turnover gotta be better than two ,well that was my thinking.i learnt with this setup that I had to fuck about with the positioning of the wavemaker

I’m going to take my fluval off tomorrow and upgrade the pump from 600 to 1000 I have a wave maker coming tomorrow can you do a video of where to position it ?

Hi thanks for watching,I don't anymore,I noticed more you take off the lid and replaced for maintenance it does warp a little ,I literally had it off most of the time as I can't keep my hands out of the tank

Hi thanks for watching,I noticed taking the lid off constantly does warp it a little .I don't have the tank anymore but I'll be honest after a while I used to just have the lid off most of the time .

I just got this tank and I love it. Not sure but my lidd is fulled closes, no gap.

@@tigertropics5386 Hi, any reason you got rid of this tank?

I think the FX will be to big (to wide) if my memory serves me right

Hi they have cut outs for them under the lid

@@tigertropics5386 space for 12/16 mm or even 16/22 hoses?

Lol I love that generation of film it's my childhood,I loved doing stuff like with my daughter,the younger one isn't as interested . I put the fluval sea 2.0 under the hood and it had enough space when mounting under the light brackets . maybe if you find the dimensions for both units it'll give you a idea of size and thanks for watching the channel,I promise I'll do some soon .

@@tigertropics5386 I just watched your last video, and it scared me. It's funny how we connect with people even if it's just through some images, you seem like a good person and I was afraid of something...thank you for answering, after watching your video I have seen myself very reflected. Stay there, wherever you are fighting with whatever. A hug and a lot of strength from Spain.

Bless you and thank you,I'll do a video real soon for everyone X

I actually wouldn't go for this system I'd prefer a hma system or a rodi system and remineralise the water

The hose is garden hose

Wicked they have capacity for alot of media and if you have the right pump there fine

I wouldn't as the brace does actually do something, someone I read on a forum had got in contact with juwel and asked if he could do the same with he's tank and juwel said yes you can but the glass will bow a quarter of a inch which is massive . I really wouldn't as it'll be pressure which the tank my handle for a bit but the risk of it popping one day when your not there because the side seams have given out ain't worth it in my opinion.

Hi ,love that tank ,yeah that'll work ,the lights are very bright on these tanks so gotta watch out for nutrient control because of algae as the lights love growing it .I moved to the aquasky because it had ramp up and down and different spectrums but you have to have two because it doesn't cover all of the tank .I'd also look to see if anyone has a par meter or rent one to get the spread and par bang on because once I set my lighting up properly I didn't have to touch it and everything grew brilliantly and you get a idea where to put what plants

Hey Kent ,I've only got two weeks then I'll start producing content again,got big setups across Europe I'm gonna post .over here has kinda been sewn up by Mick's fish channel so gotta go bigger and different

Defo man ,I'm hoping it turns out good .

Yeah your right ,I've ever had a problem with seachem prime always been told that it was sufficient to neutralise both chlorine and chloramine before it takes any effect on fish plants and bacteria.i did put phosphate remover in the filter but it was a shame I couldn't let the tank mature .but I definitely appreciate the comments,please keep an eye out in the future as I'm always willing to learn so keep an eye out man if you see anything I do wrong lol .

@@tigertropics5386 We are all learning my friend

As far as I know the light is on as long as it's got power going to it ,I'm not aware it has a switch to turn it off and on by itself

Point the flow up towards the surface

Yeah gotta fuck about with it until they go! That's one of those neurotic moments when your trying to watch TV but all you can see is micro bubbles lol gotta fix it !!!!

I normally use a fluval 306 and that's 1150 lh and I find that a perfect flow for that size tank ,floaters ? Are they frog bit? Or water lettuce ?

@@tigertropics5386 No sorry, i meant particles in the water, only option left is to try upgrading the pump like say, but was worried itll blow my fish around.

The 306 is perfect for it ,if you find it too much which you won't you just need to point the output to the surface and gain some more oxygen

Thanks man ,will do defo ,don't worry Essex ain't no holiday camp either lol

Thank you so much man ,for the person who's been my mentor and the one who got me back into this hobby in the way I am ,Ive been effected forever ,thank you for your time bruv X.

Thanks man ,yeah it is ,good weather for breeding cichlids

Thank you so much,I'm excited to be honest ,thank you for your support and keep a eye out because I'll be documenting the journey .thank you again X❤️

No worries man it's something alot of people are facing I suppose,I have to see it as a shove in the right direction,I'm massively grateful for this hobby and the people I've met during my journey,I'm gonna use it's potential to it's max in a country I'm not sure that will appreciate it but I suppose atleast it'll make good content for you guys lol ,bit thanks again man ,thank you for your support X

Yes, sometimes things happen for a reason, and in your case that’s true! On to better times and away from this, on times, toxic country. I’m looking forward to the road trip 👍. Keep us posted, don’t just disappear. Your subscribers care about you!

I definitely will and your absolutely right it is toxic ! ,Yeah the drive is gonna be amazing man and that means alot to me man I'm definitely planning to keep the channel alive man and try to entertain everyone man ,plans for better content ,just look out for your notification bell lol

@@tigertropics5386 i definitely will do! And keep us posted as we want to know ya okay 👍.

Thanks man,I will you take care too aswell be good to hear what youve done

Yeah definitely,when you have it you don't want the other type ,the fish colours look better because it's less dim

@@tigertropics5386 did you put a aquarium mat underneath your tank? If yes do you think I need one

Hi ,not on this tank as it's a floating base

@@tigertropics5386 thanks..... i got my tank filled up and starting to cycle it looks great

Wicked man enjoy it man
