Last compartment, u can take out the mac filter n replace it with bio media. When placing back the divider, do not push it all the way down n leave a gap so u can drop in the bio media. When its like full than push it all the way down. Since only cleaned water passes through there, during maintenance u don't need to touch that part anymore n let the good bacteria live happily.
I have some questions 1:- Did you face any leakage or any other problem in these two years? 2:- And how much biomedia can it store, means 500gm or 1kg etc...
@@Sinserg yes that should be good enough for a 10 gallon Now i understand why you dont want to use the skimmer 🤘🏽 Also the inlet make sure you cover it with some sponge or fine mesh / cloth Or else all those shrimp babies going to get sucket out
@salemabdullah594 Yes please make sure to fill all types of filters with water before you switch them on. If you dont do that then the pump will run dry and heat up and could cause fire!!!
I wish you can post a video regarding noise level. I am used to submersible economic filters which just give out a hum. XBL600 is the one that suits my need, just worried it might be louder considering external motor.
It is pretty silent bro I sleep in the same room as my tanks and i have no issues with the noise As you said it is also just as good as a very low hummm

HBL, it allows for better media and foam placement in the trays, more consistent with the water flow. I have both the 802 and 803 and they are great filters. Sorry I wrote XBL in my original comment… HBL-802 and 803…..better filters than the XBL series…..
You need to check the volume of your tank bro, not only the height. The height can be 34 cm but length and width could be much much more. What are the total dimensions of your tank?

Hahaha thanks bro ❤️❤️, Do ask your friend to also visit the channel 🤘🏽
That's what the information i want tq buddy
Your videos are soo informative...keep up the good work 👌👌👌
I am using this filter however surface skimmer is not spinning.. dont know whats the problem
You can remove the axis and mechanical filter from last compartment and add more biomedia there.
Insightful man.... Thanks for this detailed tutorial 🔥
Thankyou
i had used only first divider. i have remove last divider and combined 2nd and 3rd compartment and placed bio media on it
I have some questions
1:- Did you face any leakage or any other problem in these two years?
2:- And how much biomedia can it store, means 500gm or 1kg etc...
Nice informative 👍
Can we adjust the intake and out volume ?
Hi, thank you for sharing, I have a question about the filter, is it possible to use it without the skimmer?
Yes you can use it with or without the skimmer as well. Both options can be kept
However i recommend using the skimmer
@@tropicaldiscovery Ok understood thank you for your quick response! I am planning to use it on my 10G shrimp tank. 😁
@@Sinserg yes that should be good enough for a 10 gallon
Now i understand why you dont want to use the skimmer 🤘🏽
Also the inlet make sure you cover it with some sponge or fine mesh / cloth
Or else all those shrimp babies going to get sucket out
@@tropicaldiscovery Understood, thank you for the heads up 🙂👍
how to make it work? i've had a similar. but whenever i use or turned it ON it's not even working. there was no flow.
You fill it with water?

Got one, impressive for the price. Does a good job, and quieter than my internal power head.
Hi..what is the height of ur tank?
I like the design. They really gotta come up with a sexier name than Sunsun.
I highly agree on that 😂
After long Experience which is better xbl or hbl
I have not used the HBL series so it wont be fair for me to give comparison. :)
Overall the XBL is very good and it comes with a skimmer as well.
From you brought biological media.
Can it fit tank with rim ? Or onlyfit rimless aquarium?
Only on rimless
Nice video very informative. Good job 👍
Thankyou
Como ago que funcione soy de México tengo uno igual pero es el más pequeño lo conecto pero es a 220v y aquí la corriente es 110v
No soy un experto en electricidad. Puede ver videos de youtube que muestran cómo convertir un motor de 220v a 120v. Espero que esto te ayude. realmente lo siento hombre 💔
Pues lo mas facil es conseguir un convertidor de 220V a 110V... lo malo es que te va a costar casi mas que el filtro, de $30 a $40 US en Amazon.
which one is the best HBL or XBL ?
Xbl
@@tropicaldiscovery any specific reason ?
@@vinoob25 xbl has a proper water flow system, has more space for filter media, attached skimmer, and attractive shape.
HBL, it allows for better media and foam placement in the trays, more consistent with the water flow. I have both the 802 and 803 and they are great filters. Sorry I wrote XBL in my original comment… HBL-802 and 803…..better filters than the XBL series…..

2ft by 1ft tank HBL 802 Vs XBL 600 who is best filter...pls help.♥️
How much matrix fill up that section of filter?
I filled 1 section with sponge, the second section with matrix. The 3rd section was left empty
@@tropicaldiscovery thanks for explaining
@@stuardoruano5776 no worries, It's a good filter with a very nice flow. Plus it comes with a skimmer. Good value for money
@@tropicaldiscovery i see, how much matrix use to fill the 3 rd section?
@@stuardoruano5776 the 3rd section has a sponge inside it so I left it empty. I am not sure how much matrix you can put inside the 3rd section
Hi Can this filter be fit for my tank that is 34CM height. I M not able to get this information anywhere please help.
You need to check the volume of your tank bro, not only the height. The height can be 34 cm but length and width could be much much more. What are the total dimensions of your tank?
@@tropicaldiscovery 20LX13W14H
what is the size of your tank?
It is a 10 gallon tank
How to adjust flow?
In my case the surface skimmer doesn't work properly. Dont know what's wrong with it😔😔😔
Sorry to hear that bro, i did not have any issues with the surface skimmer
