Sir,how do you control the inlets with such a heavy flow?For bare bottom it is understandable but for a planted setup with substrate and animals, it will create a havoc.
My planted aquarium is has the ability of pumping 475 gallons an hour with very little problems with the plants or the animal life and in that tank I even have cherry shrimp along with Amano shrimp no problems. I also have a very strong pump on the goldfish aquarium which there is no problems also with that tank.
@@anoxicfiltrationplenums thank you I just asked because i read somewhere kitty litter contain zeolite. And it mentioned salt will cause zeolite to release ammonia it absorbed.
Hello sir is 200 gph oase canister filter enough for my 3 goldies 40 gal tank? Is setting max or setting low water flow good for these goldies? Need suggestions Regards, Saurav Shrestha Kathmandu, Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
@@anoxicfiltrationplenums tqsm for the reply sir. Can you suggest for how many times should I feed them? One of the fish is devloping swimbladder slowly 😭. I have a oase filtro smart canister 200 with ada bio rio as media. Have live plants with sand and river stone with susbstrate. Iam very impressed with your anoxic setup and thinking of making a plenum in the future. 🙏🙏🙏 I am very impressed
The colors on the goldfish are really popping! The larger tubing you used made a huge difference on the filtering capacity of the canister. Thanks for the update. I put a BCBag in my hob and my water was crystal clear in 2 days.
I'm surprised that those Goldfish came from Petco. Decent looking guys. I also luv how you set up the tank to fit there liking, a true fish lover. Thanks Dr Kevin.
Oh yes that makes sense now. Thank you for sharing. My goldfish is a little older, around 6 years and stopped eating algae and duck weed and hence I had to get some ancistrus.
Looks way better. I have a Marineland 375 hang on the back on my 45 gallon lowboy, I cut a small hole on the intake basket to pickup large waste and there's a area for a pre-filter sponge inside it picks up most of the poo. Has been working well for a few weeks, never any poo on the bottom like yours. I removed that Poo suction filter because it was to large and took up to much room but that thing actually worked too. I did a 5 part series on it in my short videos.
Ive seen a device called a detritus collector. Neat but it appeared to only work on a glass bottom tank and big tanks needed two. Cant use if you got baby shrimp
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
How do u grow the alqae carpet? I been amused since ifirst seen ur video
No mechanical filtration?
The canister filter acts both like biological and mechanical. So one filter actually is doing everything without the addition of other filters.
Thanks for the video and information. I’ve learnt a lot from you 👍🏻
Glad to hear it!
Best channel by far
I wish everybody thought that way.Thanks

Dr Novak, will adding salt to fresh water aquarium with BCBs will affect the BCB?
Adding salt makes no difference at all.

When it comes to goldfish, I think you'll need a little more than what a Oase canister filter can provide because they are very dirty animals.

Great idea. I had the same problem. I put a power head on the bottom w/hose to the top tank filter box. Your way is soooo much smarter, thank you
Glad it helped
Yes, very clear that the increased flow picked up all the mess. Thanks for showing us. The tank looks great and healthy for goldfish. Love it.
thank you.
Oh Yea, I your petco goldfish grew a lot since I last saw them That was the first thing I noticed in this video

Amazing. Add a bristle nose and it will clean up all surfaces.
Then that would make the goldfish very sad they love to munch on the algae.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! The frame corners really make the tank look unique.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too.

I have 3 pumps rated at 1200/1000/1500 liters and hour : approximately 975 gallons an hour in a 325 liters cichlid aquarium.
Doc, is there a way to test or determine the speed of a plenum? So that we can know that it is slow moving or not.
For the hobbyist I would have to say no. But the thing you can do is just have to go by your test kit readings that's all.
hey,
whats the tank size please?
20-gals
@@anoxicfiltrationplenums sorry i ment width and length
Dr. Novak, Can I use zeolite instead of clay cat litter in the BCB basket.? Thank you.
Hi Dr. Novak, can zeolite be used instead of Clay cat litter be used in the BCB filter."
