what kind of temps are you maintaining? i heard they need cooler temps.

I don't have any experience of Oase filters because the filter i use is brilliant. Ehime Pro 3 the twin inlet version (you can get a thermal version). The pre filter on the pro 3 is a tray at the top of the filter with a course sponge this tray collects so much crap i very rarely have to clean my course, medium and fine sponges. Also when the intakes sucks up fry and young shrimp they will live quite happily in the pre-filter tray until i rescue them every couple of weeks or so. The flow rate is very good i have all my trays tightly packed with media all in all i love the filter well built quiet and easy to maintain

Have the exact model. It was raved about but it’s absolute rubbish and I’ve had nothing but problems. As for Oase customer service……when you’re told to buy a faulty part as they want you to send the whole filter back rather than that tiny bit you know it’s shocking! I’ll be going back to fluval

You should buy Aquael. Then silence will be yours...

I watched your orchid videos had no idea you did aquascapes too. Very cool. ❤

I strongly disagree with some of your points. - The in/outlet is easy to decouple from the filter. Your cabinet being small is not the fault of the filter. Poor planning. - The priming button being on the top is standard. Again, you can't blame the filter for your cabinet being small. The dimensions of the filter is listed when you buy it. Poor planning if anything. - Flow is pretty decent, but has never been a selling point for oase filters. It's listed on the box though.

i agree with stems being too high maintainance. i want to create something like yours as well. recently i have been more inclined towards low maintaince low tech aquascapes that require less effort from me😂

Quality - price isnt bad at all. The reason im afraid to try Aquael is i heard the customer support isnt the greatest and its alot harder to find spare parts compared to Eheim, Oase, Fluval from what ive seen.

Beautiful simple aquascape!

Ok I see you added more😮

More soil?

Beautiful scape you must be very proud 😊

Since I have done various art forms I thought I would be able to pull off a decent aquascape. However, I am just not very good. So I can relate to your ideas on this video. The main thing is to always just be true to yourself and not try to be like others. I enjoyed the placement of your driftwood and rocks. The plants will grow in and complete the aquascape with a natural symmetry.

I just bought a biomaster 350 and now I understand what you mean by that hum. I didn't notice it until nobody was downstairs and then I heard it and it's very annoying. My Fluval 307 doesn't even have that type of deep hum.

The driftwood is brilliant! It looks like a Pterodactyl getting ready to eat a horned creature. It looks great!!

Another nice scape from you!!!🎉🎉🎉

Well done Danny, the aquarium looks great 🧡! You prove that you can create beautiful aquascapes with intuition rather than a concept. I also always try to design aquascapes that are as low-maintenance as possible. However, I try to include at least one fast-growing plant, because in my experience the system then runs a little more stably. Greetings from rainy Germany!

Very nice tank. The Rummy Nose Rasboras are my favourite fish, and yours will grow a bit bigger than they are now, they seem to be quite young still and will grow slowly but continuously, even as adults, given sufficient food. Rainbow shiners are stunning, I would like a group of them as well in the future, but only once I can provide an outdoor space for them. I know a guy who has been breeding them for years, and apparently they need single digit (Celcius) temps in order to reproduce. Hope the tank matures well for you, and that all the fish stay healthy and happy.

I have been waiting for a new scape from you 🤗🤗!

I look at Cannister filters like plumbing, generally very awkward to work with but necessary . I really like my Oase, not fun to clean or maintain, which is the case for any other filter unit I have used

You are very rich. Buy toys. I don't have the money for it and I don't understand why people pay for it. Buy an Eheim classic or Fluval canister filter once and peace of mind for the rest of your life.

Design always takes time. I think people think people just throw masterpieces together. No way. I really like your freeflow and natural looks in your scapes

There aren't many people who have an eye for art, by itself, with no nurturing of that vision. Not a single artist out there will tell you that they never benefited from the patience and experience of practice. You do have vision and anyone can see that. Now you are learning how to give it life and that gets better the more and more you encourage your vision to take shape. Quit saying you don't have it! Your initial layout looks great and I am still watching but I can see it'll look wonderful

I have an Aquatop 400 I bought for $279 US dollars 5 years ago. I had a small leak problem a month ago fixed with a gasket replacement. Otherwise the filter is dead silent & powerful. I have a large prefilled sponge assembly in the tank so I have rarely opened the canister which is filled only with biomedia.

Great video. I had the same experience. Not sure why the filter is louder. Came problem when cleaning the pre filter. I went back to Ehiem professional. Quiet and the plastic on the case in my opinion is very good.

Foarte tare Danny, zi-le asa cum sunt, produsele lor sunt overpriced.

Do these guys need wood? Most plecos need some wood.

yea , I agree! biomaster is noisy.

Your English is great! I actually forgot it wasn’t your first language until you mentioned it 😀

I fully agree with you that the fittings are really ugly and fragile. I also changed from Oase Biomaster to Aquael 1500 few months ago. I am still looking for a better replacement for the fittings.

Hi, awesome fish realy! Can I use 18:40 and the following scene for a KZbin Shorts. With the credits ofcourse!

Great video Danny.. I have same problem. I put plants in there they everything melt . I think high temperature know? Do have solution for that . Don’t say to me give up the discu .. 😂

I really think you have mental problems

I have the Aqual hypermax 4500 and love it ! It’s huge and has two inputs and outputs . It’s amazing !

Great honest review. I'm torn now between the aquael ultramax, the tetra ex 800, or the JBL e902. I watched your tetra ex800 review too. Which do you prefer and why?

i would like to say that if you next time opening prefilter wait 2 seconds longer before closing second valve. you will have no leak at all. using aquael utramax 2000 last 6 months and never had any issues.

GOOD EXPLANATION VIDEO :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

You have to remove the filters from the pre filter and then try it

Mine only makes slight noise/purges air when the intake tube or pre-filter are clogged, otherwise I can't hear it in the cabinet. It's always a bit noisy when you first turn it on, how does it sound after running for a few hours?

i using aquael ultramax 2000. very silent, very little power use. ( only 17 Watts) up to 400 litre tank... ( company saying up to 700 ) only 150 pounds to buy brand new. its perfect in my 250 litre tank.

I'm not a fan of Aquael (I'm Polish), but they make good filters. Your feelings are most helpful when choosing and the advice of others is ridiculous. Drilling holes, buying different sponges is like buying a Mercedes with square wheels and having to paint it yourself.😂😂 Thank you for your honesty

Yeah those fittings are pretty ugly. I'm not sure I would like them even if I could paint them clear. Not invisible paint, just clear, you've got to walk before you run after all.

Nice video. Maybe the same step I have to do... change my Biomaster for this Aquael... Or a Eheim Pro 4...

I have one ultra max 2000 and aquael hypermax 4500 bt , but the in take of your ultra max is like of the very old filter the make first the have beter one now for many years , maby you need to talk to your seller , greetings to you from Iceland 🙂

What a totally different experience than I have. I have to look at the outflow in my aquarium to see if the filter is running because it is so quiet. Both my Biomasters only purge some air a few minutes after maintenance. I recently replaced the prefilter tubes of my version 1 Biomasters with de prefilter tubes for the version 2 series. That improved the flow a little bit.

I agree with you, you can hear the humming on a lot of videos where aquascapers present this filters, even hang on and other filters from oase they are noisy as hell…this is one of the reason I will not go with the filter because for the price you suppose to get top product. Unfortunately a lot of aquascapers cant complain a lot because they will loose the support from oase and they will not get new products for free…etc. there are better brands for less price then oase.

The snowballs are beautiful! Saw some in my LFS recently and they are so cute.

You usually want to add some wood to tanks with plecos... not as necessary for some species but it's never a bad thing. Just lost my 18 year old Sailfin pleco (a 40 cm monster) and miss him terribly. I do urge anyone who can give them enough space to get a Sailfin (Gibbiceps) they are lovely fish - such characters and really beautiful. I'm considering either another Sailfin or maybe a vampire pleco next...

Oase is overpriced and overhyped. Stick to the grand daddy - Eheim(classic). My Oase been sent for servicing 2 times in the past 3 years. Eheim - I have not send for any servicing, and it has been running in my planted tank for 5 years and previously runs a flowerhorn tank for 6 years.
