Paludarium Build - Straight Talking Fish
Переглядів 7 тис.5 років тому
Here is how I built a Paludarium from a spare fish tank. I wanted to create something unique that looked natural and I couldn't do that with off the shelf products, so I decided to make my own. The tank is a AquaOne Vogue 170 with the built in LED lights. The filter is an Eheim Pro4 350 with the included media. The plant soil is JBL's PRO Flora Start. The 3D background is made by AquaOne. At th...

    Would it be the same principle for the ehime pro 4 +350, and what's the blue sponge called again,and where can I purchase it from thanks 👍

    I would use the sponge basket between the between the bioMECH and substrate pro. The bioMECH works as a coarse sponge and evenly water distribution, not much as a biological media.

    Good video. Oase biomaster is better with pre filter.

    • @igorverdes
      @igorverdes Місяць тому

      Biomaster doesn’t well in all cabinets, that’s the main reason I’m returned it. You need to pull it out of the cabinet. On Eheim I just take the top basket out not not moving the heavy filter. Biomaster feels much better built specifically the handle is a big plus, but many are complaining about the air bubbles loosing the co2.

    Mine kept greeting me at the glass and begging for food. I found out he had a worm that looked like discolored camellanus. After 2 treatments at very high doses, the worm did not die. I did an overdose and the worm finally disappeared and now he rests more. I'm still looking daily to see if I see anything protruding from his anus.

      I have kept fish for 20 years now and in that time I have tried many different filters and media. I really like the SubstratPRO because it fits together nicely and forces the water through it. It’s my go to biological media.

    Everybody should know that the all plastic valve on pro series sucks. Iv replaced that part 2 times cos of bloody jams. It must be greased or this wil likely happen later. Its cogs inside are not the best design.. When this happens you must use deadly force and chew down to its core. and free up the jam. 😂

    I got hold of a cheap 400 liter aquarium. The problem is that all the filter material is missing and it is impossible to find what I need on Eheim's own pages!!! Now I'm a little wiser and know at least a little about what's needed - about 5 different kinds of filters, where can I find them cheapest without access to the article numbers??? There are no really good shops nearby plus I will have big problems with very mineral rich water! Have tried before with a 160 liter aquarium and it just couldn't get the water quality...

  • @hj8607

    THE BIGGEST mistake made with a canister filter is using it as a mechanical filter . IT SHOULD ONLY be used as a biological filter ! ALL mechanical filtering should be mainly done BEFORE the water goes into the canister . THE canister is best at CYCLNG the tank cleaning out ammonia, & nitrites . Used this way it rarely needs ANY servicing. IN FACT it is best to just LEAVE it ALONE to do it's thing. Eheim makes a prefilter intake filter OR YOU CAN use any floss filled corner filter as a prefilter . THIS can be changed weekly taking ONLY three minutes.

    I think this will reduce the flow. I did it too but not sure if the flow has decreased.

    • @straighttalkingexotics9367
      @straighttalkingexotics9367 2 роки тому

      The hobby seems obsessed with flow, rather than the quality of the ‘cleaning’ that’s happening in the filter. This method doesn’t reduce the flow noticeably, but it would be a small price to pay for the benefits achieved.
