Aquarium Advice Addict
Amazing how much this has evolved with your input ...
Questions ...
1 - Is it wise to put jungle vals (Val. Americana) in front of a hob filter? I am concerned they'll get too beaten up or stick to the intake. It's a 200 gph hob.
Oops, hit "post" too early ... I'll have to post pics below after I finish editing ...
2 - Where in this tank would the power head be best placed? It's a 175gph I think.
3 - Can I cut moss "mats" into pieces? These are stainless mesh, so I'm thinking wire cutters. I'm buying three 3x3 mats and I want to cut them into irregular shapes to distribute here and there.
4 - Is there something I can put around the intake on the filter to prevent the plants from reducing the flow, when their leaves stick to it? There's nylon stocking around the bottom but it's the middle one, where floating plants often stick. When they do, they stop the biowheel from turning due to reduced flow.
5 - Any other big no-nos in the placement below? (pics in a minute)
