Ahh yes it goes up then is hidden. It goes from counter to top of reactor

Mounted and setup the new toy Sera flora reactor, the fluval ends connect fine it seems, for peace of mind I’m going to replace the output hose to eheim

Update, during this time I won my war on stag horn algae, plants are filling in and population is happy, still dealing with some crypt melt (not sure why). Currently dosing thrive 3x per week carpet is spreading slowly lol Population is 3x Angelfish (hoping for pair then rehome 1) 1x...

Hey, excuse me If this is a basic or silly question but... I have a fluval 406 so of course ribbed hoses, now I have looked at many post about converting to vynel etc. I’m wondering why it isn’t possible to just get the adapters from fluval, cut the filter hose and out those two on and then...

Been working on my 50g planted community for a while now. I thought I’d get some opinions. Setup - 50g and stand bought from BCAquaria forum - Fluval 406 bought from BCAquaria forum (unfortunately impeller is bad and rattled like nuts, so I got the rebuild kit) - Black blasting sand (FB...

Blacked out back of tank. Seems to be pretty balance, good growth on all and happy fish

Excited, got my co2 upgrade in the mail, aquatek timer Solonoid valve for paintball bottles, picked up 24oz. Also wanted a different stock (caught female betta nipping an oto which I’m not ok with lol, rehomed the 2 female bettas and picked up 6 juvenile harlequin Rasbora. Very peaceful and...

I’ve found another post about it being when the lower leaves are shaded by the larger upper leaves..... how would one even avoid that

Hello, I’ve tried to search for the cause online a few different answers come up from calcium to “its expected” lol My nymphoides Taiwan have some leaves and edges that go transparent I’ve attached some images. Tank Established, finnex planted plus led and 8w aqueon t5, root tabs, dosing...

Alter my tank lid to run both finnex and the 8w t5, one week has had quite a lot of growth, finally got me 3 Oto and 3 Nerite, along with the bettas, ghost shrimp and mts my live stocks complete. Little comparison shot, still at 1 bps co2. I’d love to get a canister with inline or reactor so it...

Hey, So I have my 15g column currently running finnex fugeray planter+ light. Currently in there is multiple nymphoides, 2 Anubias multiple java ferns, couple crypt wendetti and java moss. I inject co2 currently at a bubble every .8 - 1 second, root tabs and weekly Tropica specialized...

Yes, that was greatly considered before the attempt, my male is nearly 4 years old. The initial intention was to wait until he passed and get a small sorority, I have a backup in place should I need to remove any. Thank you for taking the time to reply. What size sorority would you guys think...

Few additions (girlfriend is tired of talking about fish, so I am just posting it all here lol) Tested my betta, very peaceful, tank is now him 2 females and some cherry shrimp Co2 seems to be working well at just a bubble per 1.5 seconds. Liquid ferts and root tabs. Added a couple Anubias...

Better picture, added my root tabs and liquid fert today. The pictures are more for me to track growth but I figured I’d post something

Hey all, Just got back into hobby, had been into it heavily a few years back. I had to sell my tanks but couldn’t stay away. Had a 15g planted that I kept running but only just. Thought I’d post a pic and intro, just has a betta in it due to it being column. It when he goes I’ll likely have...
