    Anyone else notice how much happier Joey has been since he started doing what he loves again vs doing stuff to please these randoms.

    You should make a whole series on how to "hack" or "modify" existing equipment. Like how to create a diy inlet skimmer attachment for your external filter. Or how to create your own lilypipe type of things

      DIY water flow diffuser you can connect to the outlet of a cannister filter would be a cool one.

    I got your book and a t-shirt a few years ago. Thanks again for the inspection. As of my aquarium everything is DIY about it. The stand, the filter the light's. I got poting soil and cheap sand from Rona, lava rock from outside decoration and branches from the river side. All boiled. My fish tank has been running for a few years. Thanks again. Love to see you are back more often and doing better.

  • @dingchat555
    @dingchat555 3 роки тому

    AND a gravel vac... I have filters on everything already but if I have an extra pump then I might as well build this. Never hurts to have too much filtration and this design does just about anything, lol. Love it

    It is a little less common to find the two spout filter (in and out) and also to find one with suction cups on it, it might also be possible to put one that only has the pipe outlet into the bottle and put the outlet our through the bottle top. It would need to be a small filter to fit the bottle. This way if would all be contained in the bottle. Just a thought.

    You have Festivum! I love this cichlid. Why they aren't extremely popular i will never know. In 70 years keeping fish, I've only seen them twice, and of course bought them. They are attractive, friendly, and peaceful. Their colors are not bright, but their patterns are interesting, and change with their moods. They are found with angel fish, usually leading the way along the river.
