Ahhhh, this is what I have been waiting for ! I’m getting ready ti begin my aquarium and I’m new to all of this

[@GreenAquaShop]

Good luck with your first aquarium, you might want to check out the videos from our "Beginners Guide" playlist for more.

[@FRANC1300]

for cleaner look of co2 parts next to the tank or in the tank I use from JBL ProFlora Direct you just need to connect your co2 hose on outflow hoes from your filter and thats it...

Which fluid do you used for fill the bubble counter ? Just water?Thank you , I love it your videos 😍😍

[@ZoolskiiRider]

23:44 so for a 23,2 litres nano tank (40x29x20cm) should i go for 22 bubbles/min ?

[@GreenAquaShop]

You'll need to experiment a bit, every tank is different, based on the flow (filter) and hardscape quantity and plants, and surface movement.

[@MrVili83]

Salut green aqua, merci pour cette vidéo, car j'ai le même filtre et je ne connais pas ceux système de démarrage et aussi le placement du purigen. En tout cas merci de votre travail et le partage de vos connaissances. Bravo à toutes l'équipe.

[@jackoghost]

i use a garden hose sprayer to fill the tank, with the ''rain / mist'' you don't move any substrate, start slow until there is 2-3cm of water above substrate and then you can open it fully with the rain/mist function, fills up quicker

[@SifiFan]

Creating first tank. Using co2 generator that is a continuous supply. 10gal aquarium, fair supply of new store bought plants, including floaters. Do I remove the co2 bubbler during the night?

[@marcorizzioli3322]

Hello and congratulations. How do you heat the water in your aquariums? Do you use all Oase filters with the built-in heater?

Hi, it's possible to put as you did so the original pipes and then to the reducer put a 12/16 for input and output? Thank you in advance and nice day

I always use a hot air blower to make the hoses flexible to put them on :) can’t wait for hot water 😅

[@basnijmeijer5060]

If I want to install a CO2 in line defuser and a in line heater on the line going in to the aquarium. What would be the best order to put them?

[@lindapeppin2441]

Would it help to get rid of the air in the filter if you pre filled it will water before priming?

[@daryl5506]

Hi Tommy, great video. I have a silly question here, my tank's water is decreasing everyday. What would be the causes of it?

[@Monyet253]

If it's an open top aquarium, it's probably just evaporation. I lose about an inch a week in some taps. You can just top it up between water changes.

[@alesbreznjak295]

I saw, that you use reducers on the filter hoses. Is this ok for the filters itself. Can this be a problem in operating the filter in long period of time.. What kind of reducers are those 16/22 to 12/16? Thank you for your answer

[@ravijeetun657]

Same question here. The video description shows a 17mm lily pipe was used. The filter supports 16/22mm pipe. Then why a reducer was used. It's a bit confusing here. I believe a 13mm lily pipe was used instead that's why reducer was installed. If my guess is right, then the video description is incorrect. Does a Reducer applies stress on the filter performance over time???

[@raygv1]

Am I wasting seachem prime by putting it in RO water anyway as a precaution?

[@madhatterjones4781]

Does adding the hose reducer adapters add extra pressure on the motor of the pump over tines

[@GreenAquaShop]

No, these pumps can handle quite a lot of restriction on the hoses.

Hi, great video and really helps me to understand how to start up my aquarium. I’m Allmost completly new, so Maybe it’s an stupid question, but What temperature of the water you need to have with the water change? Can it be cold water or does it need to be around 24 degrees?

[@stoneysscapes7544]

In case someone in the future is not sure I'll be happy to offer a good answer. It's always best to have a couple of accurate temperature checkers and definitely matching the precise temp is the only way to process a water change. Dechlorinator and temperature checkers are something that is great to have a few extra 🌊

[@niketp2557]

I think there was a of reaction video of IAPLC results. But I don't see it now. Any idea why?

[@a7madfriends]

Amazing, easy and detailed guide. Man the CO2 installing should be easier ... Now I'm more scared of buying a CO2 valve lol

[@madhatterjones4781]

Get a co2art regulator. All in one

[@jessekats35]

Is it a good idea to put a reactor with a biomaster 850 on a scapeline 60?

[@hainam249]

In Vietnam we use electric valve set of Mufan brand. they integrate all co2 devices from 2 to 5 in a single extremely compact device, including pressure valve, one-way solenoid valve, co2 drop counter. I feel that chihiros' set is too cumbersome and troublesome

[@bacciobacci6218]

it may be helpful to fill the filter with water before closing it and putting it in place?

[@shanks2872]

You could but it isnt required

is it okay to have a planted tank with undersump filter?

[@bigannunaki]

Hello. I want to ask a question. I want to use a neutral sand on Tropica Soil as the base material. Will there be any harm to the plants?

[@caitybell90]

No, it is quite common to "cap" the plant growing substrate with a more esthetic topper to conceal it.

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

I wonder if there are any other unusual tools your maintenance team uses to make their life's easier. Like maybe they have moisture/water alarms set on the rim of the tank so they don't over fill the tank when doing multiple water changes. changes?

[@witwasinvilasmongkolchai3278]

If I use ADA mini M (20L) Is it ok to do water change 1 time per week? or I need to do more than 1? I think it has a accumulate of debris easily than a bigger aquarium.

Depends on stocking choices, filter and how ur tank looks

Hasznos videó! :D Egy kérdés, miért kell lefojtani 50 %-ra a szűrő teljesítményét? Nálam pl. ugyanez a szűrő megy egy 100 literes akváriumban, de nem fojtom le. Lehet bármi káros hatás ez miatt? Üdv, Tamás

[@danielnowitz5448]

what size lily pipes did you reduce to? I think your parts list of this video doesn't account for the hose reduction. Also, I noticed you didn't use the surface skimming lily pipe, is there a reason for this preference?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Sometimes we use the combo, but the majority of time, we do not. A separate skimmer does a better job, and that is not sensitive to your filter performance. We're not listing all the fittings. The goal to demonstrate the equipment we use. If you need a step-up/down hose adapter, i would recommend the Eheim ones. Like the one here: pulse.ly/facjhaoxt4

[@gaborselmeczki7729]

Hasznos tippek! :) Épp most hétvégén tervezem indítani az első növényes medencémet. Ami kérdésem lenne még: Chihiros wrgb2 lámpám van, erre javasolta valaki, hogy max. 60% fényerővel menjen az első hetekben. Erről mi a véleményetek? Tápokat az első naptól teljes dózisban kapja? A növények fele in vitro, miattuk kell, ha jól tudom? Van még az első hetekre valami jótanács esetleg?

[@meurlock]

Bonjour, je n’ai qu’un filtre interne mais j’ai une question à propos du purigen puisque je ne connais pas le sens de circulation dans le votre: vous mettez le purigen en début de filtration ou en sortie de filtre? Merci.

[@GreenAquaShop]

You need to place it to the outlet line. Internal filters are not the best for this, but doable.

[@luiswicho5301]

I like your t-shirt. It perfectly fits with today's episode. People should read more carefully manuals before doing any installation. Come on guys, just a bit of common sens. I would never imagined someone putting filter media with the plastic. It's understandable in nowadays of instanct satisfaction. Anyway, thanks for the tips.

[@amalierose944]

I forgot to wash my matrix before starting the filter and now the water is a little bit foggy. Should I do a water change or leave it be?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will clear up after the first few water changes 👍

did you ever put a second filter behind the main filter? So just to increase the filtervolume? Nice video btw. Go on green aqua 💚💙

Sump filter will be more preferable when you need bigger volume, you can make it work with overflow system so it won't bother your tank view

A 120P-s akváriumoknál is csökkentitek a szűrők átfolyási sebességét? Nálam egy 120P alatt 2db Atman cf1200 van. Fojtanátok őket? Tekintsünk el attól, hogy: " Ha megfelelően működik minden, akkor ne nyúlj hozzá, hagyd az akváriumot". 🙂

Hi there, maybe someone knows how to reduce water flow in oase biomaster with glass lily pipe?

[@jakabzsolt]

Mi történik abban az esetben, ha a CO2-n nincs mágnesszelep, áramszünet van, és így a CO2 folyamatosan a megy az akváriumba? Még az lenne a kérdésem, hogy itt milyen méretű Lillyt tettetek az akváriumba?

[@shanks2872]

No solenoid stays of it only comes on with power so no power=no co2

[@jakabzsolt]

@@shanks2872 Logikus! A kérdés arra irányult, hogyha leáll a szűrés nincs vízmozgás a CO2 nem tudja túltölteni az akvát úgy, hogy az a halaknak ártson? Vagy a gázcsere ezt megoldja maga az egyensúlyi helyzetre törekedve?

[@shanks2872]

@@jakabzsolt as long as you inject smaller amounts of co2 in a tanm with not to much fish it should be fine. However i still recommend getting solenoid for safety of the fish.

You've reduced the flow, by using this hose adapter. That's a bad approach if you have a big tank, cause that can end up in insufficient filtration
