Sk3llys 60P Build

[Thumper828]

Hoping to order my eheim canister and lilly pipes whilst im away and arranging delivery for the day i get back. Friday 3rd Oct

Once home i will then order the tank. Probably friday 10th Oct.

I will then travel to thegreenmachines shop in Wales on 19th Oct to buy my hardscape and get final tips from their staff.

I will then transfer the old tank into my fish cupboard and properly level my surface, as well as making space for the canister. The tank can then start to be scaped


Theres a better update lol

Ah ok. I think the bio balls will move in the flow which helps diffuse the co2 into the water. The reactor I posted had an impeller to achieve this same effect

Yah, think it's just surface area for the co2 to grab longer as to diffuse better, that one you posted plug in? Looks rally nice, you could probably load it up with something if needed?

No I think the impeller is propelled by the moving water flow

Hmm, based on the numerous threads I've lurked on tpt I'd really have to say that the bio ball one seems to be the best in show.. you can purchase them too. I've no real first hand experience, just going off what I've read...

Following! Learned so much from you already. I was planning on building my defuser. But I like the idea of just buying one. Interesting to see which you go with. Thanks again for all the help.
