Manzanita

Hey, Orlando nice job, beautiful hardscape as well !
Are you going to follow dry start with the HC carpet?

**Orlando** · 11-20-2009, 07:29 PM

Thank you Raven,

This tank is not going through a dry start. It is currently filled with water and lots of other plants

Raven · 11-20-2009, 07:33 PM

Is that an acrylic tank?

seniordavid · 11-21-2009, 05:31 AM

hello!
it's a really nice scape orlando, i'm impatient to see the next step with all the plants.
i see you are using too a under gravel filter, i'm sure it's not the first time you try it.
what is the difference than other filtration system? there is no problems with the roots?
there is no more sedimentation under the filter? i ask you that because, i work in a fish shop and i was stay with the idea that under gravel filter wasn't compatible with plants ( roots problems, no3 and po4 in excess=algae).so apparently i'm wrong.
perhaps someone had seen before a post about this kind of filtration?

regards
david

Thank you David,

This tank does not have an undergravel filter. What you see are bulkhead filter screens and Loclines for outlets. The filter is under the tank as well as my co2 needle wheel pump system.
4 holes total, 2 for the co2 system and 2 for the Ehiem 2262.
Let me know if you should need any further clarification on this, I'm not the best at describing these kind og things

Cheers,
Orlando

it will be great if you can post a photo of your installation

.
thanks a lot

david

**Orlando** · 11-21-2009, 11:55 AM

I will do my best to get you pics if I can

This is what is plumbed on the the right inlet and outlet fittings you see on the right side of the tank.

This is my co2 distribution source. Danner Needle Wheel pump.

seniordavid · 11-21-2009, 12:08 PM

yes, i saw it in the co2 reactor post. for me it's new , it's the first time i see that kind of system. here, we have one that you plug directly (the reactor) on the out flow pipe , but always inside the tank. less esthetic.
take your time for the photo, i will be patient

.
thanks again

david
