Nice reps Alan.

:smot: sorry Cam but wow just looking through trademe and seen petfevers listings, have to say I was not impressed with their pricing! So over priced I feel sorry for you guys from Nelson if that's the type of prices you have to pay up there!

Cheers for the comments guys and gals. Got the ph controller up and running and it works excellent! Even with this running 24/7 I have figured I will use less co2 then running co2 8 hours a day as it only pumps out co2 for 15mins every hour or so even less if I don't have much surface movement. Fish have never looked so happy and healthy since I have had them. Next purchase is going to be a decent quality dosing pump to dose e.i. ferts. Probably get that next month if all goes according to plan.

!drool: Going on a charter on Sunday to get some nice fresh blue cod and hopefully be able to go for a dive and get some paua. Also think the charter has a small dredge so might be lucky and get some beautiful bluff oysters.

Cool video Sam, I just bought a lot of co2 gear last week including an inline diffuser and a Rex Griggs designed reactor, not sure which I will use yet but I do really enjoy seeing the micro bubbles that an inline diffuser creates.

Let me know when you have this working dude, was thinking about one of these the other day to cut some acrylic. Thinking about getting a dosing pump for e.i. dosing and would love a stand made up lol.

I wouldn't be running the built in pump in the canister superico, the impellers broken anyway.

:gpo2:

Wouldn't running the pump after the canister be safer as this way it's not forcing water into the canister which could risk blowing the seals if say it got blocked or something like that?

Also helps that I can get some brand new 1060's for a small price from an old saltwater keeper I know.

Yes, I would have it pulling water through rather than pushing it. I don't really want to replace the impeller as last time I had to buy one it cost over $50 and also the pumps on the 2213's are really crappy. If I put a more powerful pump on after the filter I could then run either my co2 reactor or inline diffuser, with the normal 2213 pump I think it would struggle to put out enough flow for this. I was just going to run a loop system just like a canister using the pump but thought why not use the spare 2213 as well for extra biological filtration. The only thing I could see going wrong is the seals on the 2213 not having enough pressure to be able to cope with the extra power of the eheim 1060 pump but I think it would be fine as long as the pump was connected after the canister. Just to clarify I do not need the extra filtration provided from the eheim 2213 but it won't harm my setup either by adding more biological filtration.

Hey people I am wondering if anyone on this forum has experience running a pump inline on the output side of a canister filter to give it more flow, I have a spare eheim 2213 lying around that has a broken impeller and I really don't want to replace it but was thinking of running an inline pump instead, something like an eheim 1060. I would fill the canister with just bio balls so I don't risk the filter material clogging up and restricting flow to the pump. There is too much conflicting information on the net (surprising I know!!!) but I cant see why I can't? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I may be off base here but as long as it has a BNC connection wouldn't it work?

Does anyone have any levamisol lying around that they don't need or know where to get some? Local vets only have it mixed with other products for drenching. Also the same question but with fenbendazole?

Regarding your flatmates tank, I already explained that when you do a water change from the taps it will contain quite a high level of co2 which once used causes fluctuating co2 levels. Also I personally love planted tanks it's all about patience and studying what works and doesn't. I have 6 tanks going and they all have plants to some degree lol.

SPAM

this is not henwards tank lol.

I've had a big mouthful of my tanks water before (damn siphon) and it wasn't very appealing, my mind was telling me for a week that I felt sick when I didn't lol.

Got a rough idea on price for finished product + labour?

Holy crap, that is awesome Sanjay. I am really really impressed with the quality of workmanship and finished product, might be jumping ahead of myself here but will you be selling these or able to make one to order?

I really like the layout of the wood and rocks but think he needs some larger plants like swords and some big stem groups.

Thanks guys, I'm alot happier with how it looks now. Considering another carpeting plant though maybe some glosso or hairgrass, anyone got any ideas on what would look good? I would love to do a carpet out of anubias but am too impatient lol.
