I'd like to ad that in certain situations you can have air in the system formed by cavitation at the impeller. This is caused bij restrictions on the vacuumend (intake) of the filter. In my case it was an inline heater that restricted flow (JBL 1902 so 16 mm hose with a 13 mm heater). Takeaway for me was that mixing hose sizes to save money ended up costing me more in the longrun becouse the impeller had visible damage from cavitation. Hope it helps someone out there. Oh and keep up the good work guys!
@@timmyfane9680 Yes, and for that particular reason most quality filters have flow restrictors on intake and outflow. User must set both on the same position. I got this tip from Oase support when I was consulting regarding FiltoSmart 60 flow. This is another great thing about more established brands, support. Thanks to OASE UK wonderful employee Charlotte.

@@GreenAquaShopIm a little bit late on the party, but if you could answer me my 2 questions, I would love it. 1- Why do you never talk about fluval fx filters? 2- People like the youtuber pondguru rave about biohome ultimate.

Im suprised that a channel like this recommend you to use VASELINE on your O-rings!! This is a well known NO NO! Vaseline is a petrolium based produkt and must never be used on silicone o-rings! Petrolium destroys silicone! Use slicone grease made for water tap o-rings!
6:32 you are comparing the quality of a JBL to the Oase Filto Smart, Talking about noise. One point I want to make here: the JBL is a lot less noisy and way better in handling. I’ve had both, but Filto smart is overall 👎🏼👎🏼
you could just sell fluval it does everything automatic removes air restarts when power outage. if cloged stops and tries again after a certain time...... no idea why you are selling this random products?
The Green Aqua filter media configuration isn't the 'conventional' way but after trying it for a few months the results speak for themselves! My water is crystal clear and I don't have to worry about so many layers of different sponges or taking all the media out just to replace the fine filter mesh. Great thinking!
I don't use any of those filters, they are just too limiting for me. I use a sump, it allows me to keep my tank clear of any equipment, it is much more versatile and it is way way easier when it comes to maintenance and cleaning. I can't have floating plants in my tank because of flow and condensation from aquarium lid but the refugium in my sump is perfect for them. People always ask how I keep my water quality so pristine and stable my first response is always, I use a sump for starters. Now don't get me wrong, I do like canister filters and I have one on one of my tanks ( a Fluval FX6). I always dread having to pull it out and cleaning it though. Yeah I am most definitely a sump guy when it comes to aquariums. Oh and I can run multiple tanks off one sump, try that with a canister filter. P.S. I also never have to struggle with priming a sump and no O-Rings to worry about.
Very, very useful! Thank you so much for the effort you all put into every single video, for the amount of useful information that often clarifies ideas. You are a great great team!
Considered myself a good apprentice. Thanks to your recommendations I saved $ and bought my first canister filter, an Oase 600 thermo. Thanks Green Aqua.
If you aren't supposed to rinse your Biological Filter Media with tap water because of the Chlorine, what is the process for doing 50% water changes weekly? Wouldn't the 50% new water contain Chlorine as well?

Amazing video as always, except you guys are still heavily advertising Matrix media even though their technology hasn't changed in a long time, I have used everything in the market and done extensive testing with all the filter medias out there and I have to say Aquario Neo media is by far the most advanced media in the market by few folds! Much better water flow and design, 5 times the surface area of the matrix and it doesn't float like matrix! So I am not sure why you guys still advertising Matrix so heavily. I ran few tests, same exact setups with Matrix, Aquario Pure , ADA and Substrate Pro. Aquario results and filtration capacity were truly mind blowing, will never use Matrix or anything else ever again! Saying Matrix is still the best is like saying iphone 4S is the best phone out there! It sure was, not anymore!
Hi green Aqua can you help me I want to add liquid fertilizers to my tank it is heavily planted and has one 8w led but it is non co2 so If I add liquid fertilizers will it trigger algae
I like the "quality knock" comparison between JBL and Oase, where Oase is "quality", but then give tips on how to fix typical quality problem of Oase: the dreaded air suction thru intake hose😂😂
Yeah, all filters has practical tips to improve. JBL really bad on filter trays for example. Hard to align and we have tons of clients who mention leaking issues because of that.
Firstly thanks for all your videos, ı have learnt so many from them. If ı have Oase biomaster 250 for 60p tank, should ı decrease flow rate? And I saw your some aquariums, you are using bigger external filters in 60p . Do you change filter hose from 16/22mm to 12/16mm? Does it effect the flow rate? Sorry for the questions bombardment :) But waiting your help.
You might need to reduce flow, it depends on your tank. We always use 12/16 mm hose sizes on 60P tanks. Reducing flow size slightly changes flow rate, but it's not a problem in these cases.
I know you guys don't use other brands but I really can't have any other source that I can trust besides you guys! Unfortunately Eheim, ADA in countries that aren't rich like south america (brazil) only the RICHES RICHES ones can buy... imagine a cannister from eheim that costs 2 minimum wages.. do you guys have any idea how much money you have to work to buy this stuff? it's from another planet (not everyone live in the us or europe) .. maybe you guys really don't wanna waste time on people that love this hobby but are poor, I love everything about this channel but I can't buy those luxuries brands
What I always recommend is that people with limited budget build smaller tanks, with smaller tech, etc. But there are many good Chinese low-cost external filters too. So I'm sure you'll get by with those, anyways, good luck with your aquascaping, never give up! Cheers.
Great video. I had an oase 850. Too load for the lounge. Humming was very distracting. Noise level was around 53 dB. I'm back to my old ehiem 350 Pro. DB is around 42. I tried everything on the oase to stop the humming. . Even a new pump head. Good filter but not for me. I'm surprised that green aqua suggested on modding the oase filter to improve it! Speaks volumes that it isn't a problem free filter. The next filter I'll be purchasing will be a Aquael ultramax 1500. Has a pre-filter. Very quiet running. Only negative, no internal heater. Green aqua. It would be great if you show your viewers the Aquael range. Thanks.
I have few points for this video. First of all, thank you for such extensive cover of this topic. In my aquariums I found surface skimmer useless. My filter outlets are making enought surface agitation to properly push surface scum under water. Another solution for surface scum is seachem pristine. Also, changing order of filter media in external filters to filter sponge - filter mesh - bio media - purigen, leads to better NH4 removal, according to my observations. Bio media will never be overloaded with detritus this way.
Correct. Biomedia will also remove NO3 very efficient in this order, especially at lower water speed. You can also leave out fine filter mesh to reduce NO3 removal.
We're using sumps, but no off the shelf solution on them. Not like in the marine world. Also using or used almost all other type of filtration methods. HMF, UGF etc.
HOB filters some of them have decent space for filter media and and can match the 5x debit rule. The good ones like the Seachem products have the pump inside the aquarium thus low noise.
So the oase cant be primed full without destroying the pymp head ,it needs hose clamps to stop the hoses leaking and holes drilled to make it work as it should.acceptable on a sun sun but on the worlds most expensive canister? No thanks ill stick to fluval filters that work out of the box.
The filter is designed for beginners mainly. Where pre-filter has more advantage/importance. If the flow is more important to you some changes help. That's all. Not a must-have modification if you're happy with the performance
This was a lot to unpack, but incredibly useful. Thank you. One of the biggest things I struggled with while setting up a fancy oase filter: lily pipe sizes. There are a lot of terms, specifications, and info out there on them. Its just not easy to digest. Being American converting things wasn't awful, it was actually understanding the info. I watched a solid hour of videos before placing an order on a substandard set that worked. Lily pipes might not be an awful video to make. Maybe? Thats all on you. I love your channel. I love videos like this. Thanks for all the effort you put in. Honest.

Jaja, ezért mondtam, hogy elvileg nem arra való, hogy vízzel tele nyomogassuk. A legtöbb pumpa egy gumimembránnal van lezárva, ami ugye el tud repedni, öregedni, stb.
They are great but hardly accessible in the EU. We've been using the smaller ones for many years now. Probably the only thing you need to focus on is running them in a temperature-controlled environment. They do not like hot spaces compared to other plastic canisters where the motor is in the filter.
Also about the bio media: You guys know as well Aquario made the Neo diffusers, and they are really cool. They also came out with soil, techs, etc... and Filter media that called Neo Media. By different type (Soft, Pure, and Hard) it can change pH, and they said it has 4000m2/l which can be the best if its true. Can you guys check it in the lab?
Probably you should make disclaimer that you sell this type of equipment :P i know that biological filtration is the most important thing in fish hobby, but actually it s pretty difficult to spoil it. We can make a bet that you will change every of your filter media into sponges and still maintain all of tanks without any differance. All of the hobbist should try once to learn about nitrification in some biological articles- thing about real habitat of nitrobacter, what it needs to process nitrification and in fact- which elements will be produced in which tank (ammonia isn’t specific term, you have different ions). For the sake of simplicity- why you should need thousands of square meters of surfes to process miligrams of ammonia? In fact you cannot provide enough oxygen and ammonia in most of pores of this type of media. People should know that they really don’t need Big filter and especially expensive media as they are just useless, just dont use anything more than pumice or lava rock. Problems are caused not by surface but by doing everything too fast, bacteria needs almost half a year to stabilize into needs of a tank. When you have problems change your rutines, adding surface to media with keeping wrong actions will push you out of the hobby, because you can change filter 10 times and make no progress. P.S. I understand that Big filter in small tank will make it more stable, but not because of higher amount of bacteria (bacteria mass is depending on biological load). It will be more stable because of sheer amount of water volume added to system, you won’t feel it in bigger tanks unless you ll add sump system. In both cases taking it as biological filtration is pretty pointless, just buy bigger tank at the beginning :P
I did the disclaimer at the beginning. ;P There are many ways to do an algae-free high-light tank, ours is the most popular trend, but what you're saying could work.

I have an Eheim 2211 (today called Eheim classic 150/ 2211) running since 1984 with a small tank. I am a big fan of Eheim classic filters, but today the Oase Biomasters are my first choice...!
Classics were great, probably one of the most popular filters those days. The newer canisters offer more help for cleaning and their housing is more robust too. Still many of our client uses classic series.
Very informative, but I'm still struggling to see why external filters are superior to internal filters, in other words, why should I want one? Because couldn't I just get a more powerful internal filter if my aquarium isn't too large? e.g 20- 30 gal?
Hi Balazs, so so many filters out there and most of them stuffed full of foam. I prefer Green Aqua, stuffed full of really useful information about filtration. Excellent video , enough said.👏👏👏
Hi balazs. Thanks for sharing ,i had a biomaster filter .you let see once in a video that you change the sponge ,in to biomaterial .i did that also .and it works real good since than .thanks for that info ,great video as always greets 👌👍😉🤛
The placement of the fine filter pad isn’t that important. It will always clog first and require opening the canister more often than if you didn’t use one. The biofilm produced by bacteria in the filter can remove particals smaller than a filter pad can.
Did we miss any practical tips/tricks? Let us know in the comment below! :)

This 31 mins video is very informative, even for seasoned fishkeepers and aquascapers
Thanks so much for your feedback 👍
agreed
Great video thank you so much, but what about the ADA filters? I have one
They are great but hardly accessible in the EU. We've been using the smaller ones for many years now. Probably the only thing you need to focus on is running them in a temperature-controlled environment. They do not like hot spaces compared to other plastic canisters where the motor is in the filter.
Also about the bio media:
You guys know as well Aquario made the Neo diffusers, and they are really cool.
They also came out with soil, techs, etc... and Filter media that called Neo Media. By different type (Soft, Pure, and Hard) it can change pH, and they said it has 4000m2/l which can be the best if its true. Can you guys check it in the lab?
We've tested it earlier and did not found advantages over our top filter mediums. Maybe in the future we will check in the lab too
Hello sir..have you try biohome media yet, we would like a feedback from you if you can made a review about it 😅
Not tried it yet, but tried many other options in the market.
Probably you should make disclaimer that you sell this type of equipment :P i know that biological filtration is the most important thing in fish hobby, but actually it s pretty difficult to spoil it. We can make a bet that you will change every of your filter media into sponges and still maintain all of tanks without any differance. All of the hobbist should try once to learn about nitrification in some biological articles- thing about real habitat of nitrobacter, what it needs to process nitrification and in fact- which elements will be produced in which tank (ammonia isn’t specific term, you have different ions). For the sake of simplicity- why you should need thousands of square meters of surfes to process miligrams of ammonia? In fact you cannot provide enough oxygen and ammonia in most of pores of this type of media. People should know that they really don’t need Big filter and especially expensive media as they are just useless, just dont use anything more than pumice or lava rock. Problems are caused not by surface but by doing everything too fast, bacteria needs almost half a year to stabilize into needs of a tank. When you have problems change your rutines, adding surface to media with keeping wrong actions will push you out of the hobby, because you can change filter 10 times and make no progress.
P.S. I understand that Big filter in small tank will make it more stable, but not because of higher amount of bacteria (bacteria mass is depending on biological load). It will be more stable because of sheer amount of water volume added to system, you won’t feel it in bigger tanks unless you ll add sump system. In both cases taking it as biological filtration is pretty pointless, just buy bigger tank at the beginning :P
I did the disclaimer at the beginning. ;P
There are many ways to do an algae-free high-light tank, ours is the most popular trend, but what you're saying could work.
Hungarian description in an english languge video is felbecsülhetetlen!
LOL. A csatorna a nemzetközi akvakertész közösség magyarországi központja kíván lenni. Az angol nyelvű tartalom azért is van, mert csak a magyar nézőkből ezt a minőséget nem tudnánk fenntartani. A videókat azonban nem kis erőfeszítéssel és anyagi befektetéssel magyarul is feliratozzuk (nem automatikus feliratokkal, mint a többi nyelvet) - a feliratok ezért általában legkésőbb 24 órával a publikálást követően a rendelkezésre állnak (igyekszünk a videóval és az automata feliratokkal együtt kitenni, de nem mindig érünk a dolgok végére, ha hajnalig dolgozunk a videón). Köszi, hogy nézel minket!
@@GreenAquaShop understood, no worries...(egyébként is beszélni nem magyart) igy már értem, köszi, amúgy tényleg jók a videók, van bennük ötlet... egyszer majd...
Köszi a támogatást Tamás!
I just released a similar clip a week ago, it's in my basic aquarium version :))
Cool! What a coincidence.
Yup, those classic lines are workhorses allright. I have had one running over 30 years. Only problem i had were the clips.
Yeah. Sturdy things...
Hey sir, I use an Eheim Professionel 4+350 filter in a 60p tank, should the tap be opened fully with full flow or 50%? Which is the best? Thank You
Hard to tell, depends on the plant density and the hardscape arrangement. Let's start slower and you ramp up later if things are ok.
@@GreenAquaShop Thank you, and one more questions :) If the outflow tap setting is reduced, will it affect the inflow?
I have an Eheim 2211 (today called Eheim classic 150/ 2211) running since 1984 with a small tank. I am a big fan of Eheim classic filters, but today the Oase Biomasters are my first choice...!
Classics were great, probably one of the most popular filters those days. The newer canisters offer more help for cleaning and their housing is more robust too. Still many of our client uses classic series.
فيديو رائع ومعلومات مفيدة
شكرا للترجمة إلى اللغة العربية❤❤❤
You are welcome, glad you appreciate the production effort.
Very informative, but I'm still struggling to see why external filters are superior to internal filters, in other words, why should I want one? Because couldn't I just get a more powerful internal filter if my aquarium isn't too large? e.g 20- 30 gal?
Exactly. Canister size is important. Externals are also easier to maintain. Do not take up space in the tank.
Silicone spray danger or not ? when affected by water?
Nope,it's safe. ;)
Hi Balazs, so so many filters out there and most of them stuffed full of foam. I prefer Green Aqua, stuffed full of really useful information about filtration. Excellent video , enough said.👏👏👏
Thanks Terry, as usual! :
Hi balazs. Thanks for sharing ,i had a biomaster filter .you let see once in a video that you change the sponge ,in to biomaterial .i did that also .and it works real good since than .thanks for that info ,great video as always greets 👌👍😉🤛
Thanks Theo, yeah bio media helps!
been hoping for a v.2 you have no idea!
😃👍
Comprehensive tutorial, thanks Green Aqua & Balazs. Also thanks for the shout out on the tattoo :)
Cheers! Thanks for the solution. :
biomaster600 in a 60p.. the flow wasnt too strong?
You need to reduce the flow a little
If we use active carbon layer for the canister. Is it suck all of the fertilisers we used.
Yep,it can remove the iron.
This is why we use Seachem purigen.

How would you change the filtering media inside an Oase filtosmart thermo 100? It seems to have very little room for biological filtration.
its better to fiil first the filter with water then turn it on.
Great work guys 👍
Thanks so much 😃
cf1200 No.1
Thanks, late at work now because of this very interesting video 🙂
LOL, sorryyyy!
The placement of the fine filter pad isn’t that important. It will always clog first and require opening the canister more often than if you didn’t use one. The biofilm produced by bacteria in the filter can remove particals smaller than a filter pad can.
Yeah, but it will restrict the flow too much if it's very dirty. But yeah...
First 5 mins are really helpful for beginners because I'm suffer from brown algae .....thanks green aqua love you guys 😘
Glad to read this. :)
Cheers.
Hey guys, how much Seachem Matrix would you expect to need to fill up an Oase 600?

Oh...
I’m 1 of the 3 people who knows the description on Garry’s hand :>
😃👍
yaaaay! love the content
😃📺
is the 0ase 850 suitable for a 150 gallon? is it enough?
We do not recommend it for such a large aquarium. You need at least 2 of these if you follow our guidelines.
