Thanks AMK i had the previous model and it also leak for me right out of the box, thanksfully the dealer got me my money back right away! I feel no need to test this new model it enough to watch you handle it to see it´s too awkvard and painful to operate... But i still stand behind aqual when it comes to their internal filters, they are really good espacilly the turbo serie and it´s very very quiet and has room for a lot of media.

I will have to check them out. Aquel is run by a good family. They do not have a good presence in the US. I could help them make some improvements in products and with their business someday.

It has a small hole in the top to let air out without causing a splash on a rimless aquarium. its cup design provides active flow in the aquarium.

i hate to say it but i get the same water clarity from a homade 3 stage filter system that cost me $300 and filters 4000 gallons per hour and cleared my pond up in a couple of days. i think this filter looks great, but for $2400?? i will stick to my diy filter for $300
@aquamanknoxАй бұрын
You can make DYI filters. We all have. The manufactured models are usually easier to manage and take care of and have many features that are hard to DYI. 2400 is not for everyone, but there is no question that this is a beast of a filter that works. Often, you can DYI much larger filters as needed. The Oase filter sieve with auto rotate to empty is not something most could DYI. Thank you for the feedback. Please like and follow my channel.

The water didn’t turn out that way because the Fluval broke and didn’t work for a day. Most bacteria is in the tank. External filters are most for mechanical filtration.

I have two on a 24 or 60 cm tank width. The tank is the Miotke by Hydra aquatics. I also have tanks with 1 that are 24 inches deep. But with CO2 and the carpeting plants you could add two. For better spread and penetration. A higher Par over a deeper and wider area.

I think in my video I said come with extension but they are available. Sorry about that. Turn the light on when you want it on and then set the time length you want and add moonlight if you want. It will sunrise and set at the time you turned it on each day. Does that make sense? Example. At 6 am you turn it on and set it for length you want of the choices. It will do that again on its own 6 am next day. The CRI is awesome and the color and growth. I have 6 of these now running on my personal tanks. Let me know if you have more questions.
@josephhfry5 ай бұрын
Hey Ralph, you just sold me one of these yesterday, and love the light, but I'm not sold on the timer. Documentation talks about a 24 hour timer, but it seems that its something that needs to be turned on manually every day and set to a number of hours, or does it actually have an internal clock that will make it follow the same routine the next day? If it does have a clock, what happens if we manually change things during the day, does it break the program or does it resume at the next interval (for example when its time to transition to night mode)? What happens if power is lost? If this timer proves inadeqate, do you know if there is a compatible timer that is more feature rich? Also, ours did not come with an extension cable, are those still supposed to come with them?
@aquamanknox5 ай бұрын
It will come on every day if you turn it on when you want it to and set the timer to the hour cycle you desire. it has some memory but in a longer power outage you will have to reset it. I have 6 of these now on my scapes and they work great
