Yea, thats pretty close. You could neatly tuck the tubing to the corner between the rock and the glass and run it under the substrate.
I just suggested that because it looked as though there was a space between the stone/glass. If you're real worried about it, im sure if you used a razorblade and removed a few points if not all the silicone on one side, you could reseal the stone/tubing/glass together. Of coarse itd have to be dry and given time to cure...I didn't leave enough clearance between the glass and the stone for the tubing, I had everything ready when I noticed the ugly tubing just hanging in front of the stone![]()
the stone is siliconed in place, so removing it might either break the stone or break the glass I'm thinking of getting a tall plant to hide it
Lets see the happy fish!! I like picsOh to answer your original question.
The stone I chose for the background kept the water cloudy for a few days, I had to keep changing the batting daily for a week or so, it kept coming out yellowish until it came clear.
I have batting, then filter media https://www.amazon.com/Govine®-Aquarium-Filter-Ceramic-Filtration/dp/B01H6J22S0/ then batting again in the first chamber, then heater then bio balls and pump.
Water is always clear and API reports all levels where they need to be. I do a 10% water change per week when I vacuum the gravel. Then I have to clean the filter media in tank water, replace the batting and vacuum the filter side.
Easy process and the only ugly part is the tubing that I didn't account for while building the tank and when gluing the stone. Everything else is in the rear and no one sees it
What tubing!? Haha =PNo more tubing:
