It doesn’t make sense that you have that middle section both glass pieces a few inches off the bottom that means the water is gonna run under both of them instead of going into the sponge and up and then back over another piece of glass and back down the way you have it makes no sense you’re only using a quarter sponge
@FreeSwimmer
@FreeSwimmer 2 ай бұрын
It simply allows water to pass through filter pads and then travel through media from bottom and top.
@Weimeraners
@Weimeraners 2 ай бұрын
@ the water would never go that high in your sump to go over the top of those sponges so if the water gets that high your top of the sponges are just basically sitting in the water instead of the water transferring through them. Those two pieces of glass should always be set to the water travels under one and goes over the other or goes over the first one and underneath the second one therefore, forcing the water to actually transfer through all the media.

Well, apparently the fish in tub werent happy. I had to work today and get aquarium and some misc to move tub fish. Either lack of oxygen or residual cleaners got to them. Out of 10 only 3 made it. Very sad day. I put the 2 Oscars and Rhino Pleco in the 300g too, for now. I brought home a 150g tank for them yo hold out in. I think I will do a new seal in the 150g and set it up, after taking down the 660g system completely

Thanks.. Its a very exact fit build, thats glued and screwed and sanded. A 6-7 coating of pond armor. It becomes an unbelievably tough and waterproof membrane. Roughly the thickness of a credit card. I tested a trim piece with 2 coating and a hammer, hitting screwdriver. didnt even make a dent.

Hello.. Im going to do some videos soon. I completely cleaned and rustproofed and painted under car.I had all new American Autowire installed. Ive replaced steering and core support and inner wheel wells and all frontend and frame bushings. The engine is about to be assembled. Ive got the TH350 Tranny completely rebuilt and a new 3200rpm stall converter. Im taking out the stock 12 bolt rear and putting in a Quick Performance, Ford 9inch rear, that is being shipped in a week. Ill do an unboxing. I have all interior parts and shifter in spare room. Still lots to do. Thanks for asking !

Hello. Yes, the kit tells how much coverage at said thickness. I like 2-3 extra layers and extra for touch up.. I actually experimented with 1st kit, many years ago. I laid 1 heavy coat on an unprepped plywood board. 8 inch x 8 inch. I let it cure for 24 hours and man was that tough. A screwdriver and hammer could barely dent it. I think it wouldve held water like that, just fine. Im just a 6 coating kinda guy.

I have restored several cars from the 1960s and 1970s and I know how much work it requires. In my opinion, leave the Oscars in the second tank. New fish will arrive and there will be chaos here.

@tabarakaquatics8067 7 ай бұрын
I would put both Oscars in and watch them. Putting both of them insures that it wouldn’t be just one new fish put in for every fish to test, and also the 2 Oscar can give each other support.

I laid the 1" high density foam under all my builds.. Even the 1200g system. Its a habit I have.. I cannot say its actually needed with a big plywood build. The walls are less likely to come apart.. I simply like it that way. Its an extra $30 bucks maybe ?

Could be an air bladder problem with the Firemouth, seems like he's lost his buoyancy and relying solely on fin & tail functions to navigate. Could have been popped completely or partially perhaps. Happens sometimes in agressive style communities. It may right itself hopefully. Still eating is definitely a good sign. Love the tank btw 👍🏻
