JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR 👌🏻JUST ABOUT TO REPLACE MY DOUBLE SPONGE FILTER THAT CONTAINS MEDIA..the new ones that are now being sold…great filter but takes up to much room.this size filter will be ideal to pack out with bio home media..I’ve looked at others but to small to pack out with media,
Did you stick around for the bloopers?
Can't beat a good blooping.
Hey, I have the scraggly goatee beard trademarked along with premature baldness. If that receding hairline gets any further back you will be hearing from my solicitor......
Afraid the 'Hairline Express' left the station a long time ago! 😜
@@AquariumAdventures lol, mine too.
Thanks for the laugh @Pondguru
Thanks for the mention mate. Love the bloopers
I just bought their surface skimmer the skim2, up to 350 litre tanks. 10 quid and it's doing a great job. It's looks big and bulky in pictures but I was pleasantly surprised by how small it actually is. The only annoyance is it's really fiddly trying to get the little filter foam back into the housing if you have fingers like pork sausages.
The things they make are at the cheaper end of the scale and this is the first thing I've bought from them so I've zero experience with their other stuff but this skimmer is silent and is just working away clearing the surface.
Well worth 10 bangers.
Most of their stuff you can find on Ali Express and the like - I assume they just buy in bulk and rebrand it. Sometimes they get good stuff - sometimes they get trash!
If you buy straight from All Ponds Solution now these filters are going for £10.79. For the size and throughput, you can't beat it.
I’m running this on my smaller aquarium, it’s great for how cheap it is
I've just bought one after seeing yours.....still waiting for my tank to arrive so I can try it out.
Great vid. Off to buy one of these now. £12.50 is an absolute steal.
Yep - I have a few now, all still going strong!
I was considering one of thes to go alongside a canister filter. Mainly for the skimmer and then just fill it will filter floss. Skimmer attachments on a canister inlet can be annoying.
And father of the year award goes toooo......... ‘Do your own dinner I’m playing with fish’ - Love it - I’ve found All Pond solutions stuff very hit and miss too. Although touch wood I’ve had a huge filter from them running for over a year on a tank and it’s all good. Those solenoid valves are they 1/4 inch hose? Thinking if they would work on my RO system or do you have any better ideas? I keep leaving it running and overflowing the water butt!
Probably would work on a water line too - but a float valve would probably be cheaper. This sort of thing - amzn.to/2DJArOU
Aquarium Adventures Hey thanks - yeah I’ve got one of these, problem is as soon as the float lifts and closes the flow if just pumps everything out the waste line. Trying to figure out a way of turning both off together. Back to the internet to find a solution. Electric bill is mental for the fishroom this time of year - trying to keep the water one down too.
@@sedaquatics7277 Ahh right - well the solenoid valve might be the answer then. I've tested it on my HMA filter (same 1/4 inch pipe as an RO) and it does work.
That or a hose timer maybe?
Aquarium Adventures Great thanks mate I’ll give it a whirl and fingers crossed. I just pulled half the wall down in my fishroom by using crappy plasterboard fixings for the HMA filter. I should have been sensible enough to predict it. Chaos in there at the moment.
Speaking of filters, maybe you would like to try out one of our upflow algae turf scrubbers, for freshwater. Would make some fun videos.
Sure - Always like trying out new gear. Are they available in the UK?
All are from us in the States. Do you have a small tank that could try a sample small unit?
@@SantaMonicaFiltration sure, I have about 20 tanks of all kinds of sizes
Email me graeme@aquariumadventures.co.uk
Is the filter still working properly? How to clean the motor/impeller?
It is - It all comes apart very easily without any tools, but I've never had to do anything other than normal maintenance
I never feel happy when the pump is located outside the filter box , it’s probably got a good seal but I worry about leaks from the seal ..Probably just me but there you go .
Is the filter louder
on the Pond Solutions 600-HO Filter it showed 3 chambers 2 end ones with sponge in did you put the bi home in all 3 chambers or just the 2 end ones great review
Filled it to the brim in all chambers, and put one of the sponges on the intake.
What are the dimensions of this with H W D next to the values please
I like HOB for smaller tanks, like anything less than 55 Gallons (Liters?). What do Europeans use for smaller tanks? Have you seen the European Seachem Tidal 55, 75, and 110 HOB Filters. It’s popular here in the U.S. I don’t like the one you’re showing. Aquaclear HOB’s filters have failed me time and time again. I’m a Canister Filter person, with that being said. I can use a HOB Filter as a backup only. I feel like you with that piece of junk. I enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing! I’m a CO2 Reactor person. Those CO2 Diffusers are a last resort use. I’d rather use a Lily Pipe Than a ceramic diffuser. That Bio Home stuff is great.
I'm only just getting started on my CO2 journey - still lots to learn!
Brits mostly use canister filters or internal filters. HOBs are really rare
amazing video but be honest that ain’t silent!!
All mine are!
@@AquariumAdventures oh ok good lol i ordered one after seeing your video and i don’t think it’s even gunna fit in my tank :(
@@renthemouse Well at least its cheap! I had a few tanks with a 'lip' inside that made it not fit, so had to mount on the side of the tank with them.
@@AquariumAdventures yess i guess it was a great video u really good a good job at selling it!! :)
I thought you were supposed to have CO2 go off an hour before your lights so it can be used up before the plants switch over to absorbing oxygen and omitting CO2 at lights out. Technically aren’t you risking a spike in CO2 in your tank for that extra hour with no lights? Might be a problem if you stocked the tank. I guess not right now for you.
You are quite right - I didn't realise I had said that! I meant to say on an hour before lights om and off an hour before light off.
Don’t think hob have ever taken off properly in the U.K. no idea why still massively popular in the u.s.a
Discus Keeper I’m in the USA and I’m not very fond of HOB. I still can’t figure out why they are so popular. I went and bought a variable water pump and I can build filters for anything 200 gals and less. Spent $40. 😂
I know - never see them in shops over here
I think we like hoods and lids in the UK which makes HOB's a bit impractical. Nothing worse than making evaporation and humidity in your house worse than it is. If you're keeping discus at 28c, your house will be like the amazon for humidity before long!
Meh.... dunno about hobs, at least they are easy to access
I always used to wonder why we never saw them over here yet they seemed to be the default in the US
First View!
Cory East you beat me by a minute!
Jose Montalvo Might be the only time I’ll do that! TH-cam’s notifications are dumb.
Breaking bad
I'm extremely good at breaking things! 😜
