    Great stuff!
    I have only one spong on my filter and the first time I made this set up, the spong imploded after a while and the pump didnt work that well...after cleaning the spong it worked perfect again...so when the spong starts to implode...maybe its time to clean it 🙂

      About a year ago I bought a Schego air pump and in use with a high quality air stone, I can hardly hear the noise of the pump. Schego airpumps rock. They're a bit expensive, from 29 euro, but believe me, they're worth while. I do like this combination though. I have a few Eheim sponge filters and they work fine. Tried the mini pump, did not fit. Thanks for the presentation vid

  • @paulm0573
    @paulm0573 10 місяців тому

    I had to place netting over the holes of the powerhead as I heard newborn shrimplets can get sucked in them the filter sponge that comes with it is not small enough for shrimplets to crawl through the holes, so not making it 100% shrimp safe. Has anyone else heard of these potential issues with this filter?

  • @mikeswain9085
    @mikeswain9085 4 роки тому

    What a great modification. Is it possible you could let me have a rough idea of the total height of the two filters when they're together please? I don't want to order the two items and find they're to tall for the tank I'm going to use.

  • @paulm0573
    @paulm0573 10 місяців тому

    I put a brand new Pat mini filter in my shrimp tank last night but there is a constant noise coming from where the powerhead is. Any idea what this could be? Is it because there’s still air trapped inside?

    Hi !! I really need your help bcse ( sorry for my english I'm french). I'e started an shrimp aquarium one week ago ... and i would like to have cristal red in my tank... BUT my pH is still the same 7.... and idk HOW to low the pH to 6 ... or 5.5 ... i've a simple exhausteur ... neutral graver .. please help me .. i tried many things cattapa, oak leaf

    • @McMerwe
      @McMerwe  5 років тому

      You need a substrate that buffers. Cattapa leaves and any chages you make will create more inconstancy for the shrimp which is worse than just a stable PH of 7. Rather setup a new tank using a substrate that buffers like akadama or ADA amazonia and as soon as that tank is right, move them over.
