Glad I saw this video. Someone gave me an Oase filter and I've just modified it to the best of my ability and been using it accordingly. But now I want this instead. 2 things... I think you should just finesse the sponge over the heater directly and leave it be. I don't think it will melt/burn under water. Also to cut rigid plastic with that type of pipe cutter, apply a tiny amount of pressure with the blade of the pipe cutter then turn the pipe over and over. You may even apply extra pressure as you turn. Of course if it's a hard to replace piece you should still play it safe and use a diff. method. But it works wonders - I have the same type of cutter.

so 260L tank I don't use co2 and I use tnc complete fertiliser. I been dozing 5ml a day what suggest I dose daily. can't access link

how long does this diy kit last???

Once again great information 👌

Warm cabel and bad soil ..u could add lava rock under to make good air and water circulation..dosa good fertiliser in good amount

Interesting build!

Could you do the sugar and yest setup in the steel canister?

Thx Mate ! 🤙🏼 P.S Keep going 🤙🏼

It worked!!! 🌊 will we see more from the Shrimps? 🦐

Good video tho

Canister filter lol juste put the pump in a wet/dry system outside tank ..

I see these being used on aquariums but I'm planning to do something like this on some cannabis plants. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work for cannabis plants?

You may have a different name for it in England but what you want to use to seal the fittings is called pipe dope among American plumbers. British plumbers probably have some other name for it, but in America we call it pipe dope. That is probably going to provide the best seal. I can see how Vaseline would help, but you might as well use a product that is actually made for ceiling threaded fittings. It's very cheap.

How can I get my hands on this water dispersion as I don't have a printer. It just looks a winner 🏆

It seems like this video is attracting lots of new viewers. Welcome!! So glad you found the channel!! A lot of you seem intrigued by my DIY Air Powered Filter Contraptions, so I have made a playlist of similar builds here: ua-cam.com/play/PLzvyg5tMYenc9rMeJWYgK4EL11xqAQQpK.html&si=PcoXI4DYbZfEWoxs

never ever heard of eco complete until this video

Hey thanks for making us a new one! Quality. I love eco complete, definitely cycles a tank fast!

I used an Eheim professionel 4+ 350 and an Oase Biomaster 600T. For my 325 liter super heavily planted, heavily stocked aquarium, the Oase is far the best because I have a lot of small leaf litter that is picked up by the prefilter. I want to be able to clean the prefilter weekly because excess plant waste will cause Black Beard algae. With the Oase this is a 5-minute job, with the Eheim, you need to disassemble the filter which takes 30 minutes. Also, the filter material of the Eheim is extremely hard to clean as plant waste gets stuck in the rough matrix. With the Oase it is just a case of squeezing and rinsing the sponges under the tap (yes tapwater because the biological media sits in the filter). Not having to remove the filter head is a huge timesaver for me. So, it boils down to whether you want (need) to clean your prefilter often, in case needed, go for the Oase.

I want to know more about this air diven system. I built my first Palidarium this year. It is awesome. The plants are doing great. I have shrimp, springtails, and dairy cow isopod. But the water pump has been a pain in the butt. I wish I had seen this beforehand. I'm kind of curious why you didn't do this in a foam board structure that was the dimensions of the inside of the tank? You might have a small gap from the thickness of the board. But I feel like that would have been fixable with silicone. Besides that, the only thing that would have done different is put crystals in the cave. Stocking choices are good. 😊

this was quite interesting. have you considered doing this for a longer time scale and checking the root growth as part of the final analysis? on short term, i dont think just the visual appeal of the plants aesthetic is super indicative of its long term health and viability.

as someone who does a lot of diy/budget terrariums, both for pets and plant-only, it wouldnt be a new project if something didnt go wrong. just found your channel, looking forward to seeing more

How can u clean the glass in the cave.

I’ve redone my last air driven aquarium with your hybrid gravel filter (even though it was probably the most stable aquarium I’ve ever had). I’ve just turned it into a fancy hidden sponge filter with a rock wall and a fern and Calanthea planted behind a rock wall coming out of the water. However my cheap air pump never had much volume, but is now on its last legs. Can I ask how much airvolume your pump uses for the waterfall?

You deserve more views, I'll keep watching and liking until you get them, keep going mate, we see the effort.

Nice Owain! Keep us updated on how it goes

LOVE IT!!!!!

Very cool!

fantastic build, worth the effort.

That's fabulous! Worth all the trauma you had at the start. I have been wondering if air alone could be enough to make a waterfall. Great job

Damn, I need me a pipe cutter

Been thinking of a build with the 60, and using inline CO2 injection. For the 12mm tubing. This video has armed me with awesome information I’m am gonna need.

awesome vid! I felt so bad for tony at first. good story telling mate! I just got 3 peas just recently and Im in love with this species! Hope Tony makes a full recovery soon and becomes a proper chubby murder bean

I'm completely new to the external filter game, does anyone know what glass lilypipes would fit this best? Know he mentioned it in the video, but it went over my head 😂

Was just looking this on Reddit and now I found the video crazy 😂😂

Hello. I do not comment much but I saw lower views for your videos and decided to show appreciation for this video and thank you

Does it matter where the air tubing ends up within the filter tubing in a system like this?

i am curently trying out the yeast method simply because my tank really needs co2 and i cant afford a real setup for now. i hope it keeps me afloat for 2-3 months so i can safe up. what i will probably do, and it depends on where you live but here probably the most efficient way to do pressurized co2 is to buy all the gear you need like normal but then you get an adapter for the bottle and put those co2 bottles in you buy for sodastreams to make soda at home. you can get them everywhere. every supermarket has them and one of the bottles lasts roughly 3-4 months. and once its empty you just trade it in for 5 bucks on your weekly grocery shopping. its literally the exact same than big co2 bottles with the difference that you dont have to pay like 100-200 upfront for the bottle and its super convenient to change

I have used a drop checker... and used a good quality liquid pH test kit at the same time, to test the water pH values Oddly, the pH of the water tests virtually the same with the liquid test kit (I am hard-pressed to see any difference), despite the drop checker colour fluctuating - even when the drop checker is bright yellow! I don't bother with drop checkers anymore: I look at the condition of the fish, shrimp and the plants... The plants are lush and the fish/shrimp are lively. The shrimp are breeding like crazy - I have absolutely no idea how many are in that tank now... there are a lot): that is my monitoring system. My filtration and water movement are both quite powerful. I think that is what keeps the whole thing well balanced? The C02 system is a fairly beefy homemade yeast/sugar system which runs 24/7, with two reagent bottles that get exchanged alternately to provide a reasonably stable level of co2 injection (in terms of bubbles per second).

how deep does the hang over types have to dip into the water? and does it make a difference?

34.10 euro per 10gr.

I like to have my CO2 come on quite a bit earlier than the lights and I always keep good surface agitation to reduce the chances of harming the fish by keeping oxygen levels and CO2 levels high. This does inevitably waste some CO2 from off gassing at the waters surface.

Thanks for this video. I stopped using my drop checker once my co2 levels stabilized & I got a digital pH meter too. But lately my co2 needle valve isn't working right and my co2 is swinging around. This has given me the push to get my drop checker back out. The pH meter probes are expensive and keep getting overgrown with black algae.

Great content. Thanks for the upload.

How do you connect the solenoid to a timer?

Thanks

👍✌️🇨🇦

Switched to linier and never looked back.

I had a similar idea. My next tank is going to be cheesy retro fun combined with live plants. Great video!

A better way to do this experience would have been to use it as a bottom layer beneath an active clay based substrate and then see how the plants grow.
