Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi everyone... I apologize if I'm duplicating another thread if this subject has been addressed. If so, please direct me to them.
Anyway, I want to start a clean looking Amano-style planted tank. I really like the frame-less tanks such as ADA, Do!Aqua, and Mr. Aqua's. I don't want to go larger than 10 gallons so I'm thinking of either a nano or pico sized setup. What are your thoughts on the 3 tanks? Value compared to quality? In other words, which will provide the quality and not break the bank too much? Do you guys like the cubes, rectangles, or the bowfronts?
On a side note, for a nano/pico system.. what are your thoughts on the Pierce Co2 systems ::LINK::? It runs $60 versus the ADA advanced c02 system which is like more than $200 bucks! On the pierce, do you know if you can just add on an ADA glass diffuser? I really like how those look...LOL
As for filtration, I know a good amount of folks with ADA style tanks use Eheim classic canister filters.. However, they are a little pricey. So I've seen some use the Rapids Mini Canister with success. I believe you can change out the ugly flexi-hose and use some clear ones. Here's the example that I'm referring to ::LINK:: Have you used them?
