I like the division between the two sides, and the carpet, it reminds me of a wild plain with herds of gazelles or something.. Its very orderly but still seems very natural.

Hi. You got a beautiful scape done. I notice there's 2 wave maker at both side, is that a must for circulation? What brand you are using for the wave maker? Thanks.

That's an amazing carpet you have growing. The fish just seem to glide over it... Nicely done!

I put in this tank 2 "koralia nano" (2x 900 L/H). Just some "water circulation pomps", not "wave maker"



I want to move the column of water completely :

Thank you very much, after seeing your Video, I thought that tank is deeper than high...

Mark.

That's a good idea. Do you switch on the 2 "koralia nano" (2x 900 L/H) 24hr or only when CO2 is introduced? Thanks!

24h/24h ... by simplicity

But you're right, I could put it only at the same time as CO ² and light

Just happen to see your fish is swimming in the center, could be due to the current flow. Your CO2 is inject into the canister, is it better dissolve? Will it shorten the life of the canister? Any picture to show? Thanks!

I inject the CO² in the canister with a "ceramic diffuser" placed in the entrance of the cane suction ... 100% guaranteed dissolution, not CO² can escape the filter
