Reef Casa Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Looks good very nice design! Did you add another powerhead? Thanks Yes I did To be honest: This filter is ruining my vision of this tank This is my 5th nano tank I vowed this time to have everything perfect , not to settle for less and to not stop until I was 100% happy. This filter does not make me 100% happy Actually its kind of driving me nuts I stare at constantly thinking about what I can change This nano / filter / fuge inspired me I think it looks great This is how I feel when I look at mine I have a new idea. I'll post it and run it by people before I build this time Link to comment
Reef Casa Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 ok I got fed up with DIY and went out grabbed this I"m going to prob grab an mp10 in the near future and I think I will be all done for equipment Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I understand how you feel Marc....it doesn't seem like the DIY complements your awesome minimalist setup your tank needs lily pipes and that fluval is a step in the right direction. Link to comment
JayPagi Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Marc... that rant was priceless. I don't mean to poke fun but the drawings were hilarious! To be honest I think the DIY was an awesome idea and you did a really good job but why did you drop the 105 in the first place? Work on your lighting setup because that clearly makes you unhappy maybe try to hide the bulbs behind a shade. Maybe scrap the PARS for a fabricated LED fixture. Link to comment

EXACTLY - I feel so much better after getting the G3 lol it is a really cool filter - My vision if back on track Marc... that rant was priceless.

Hahaha thanks JayPagi I wanted to change the 105 because I felt like it wasn't enough filtration / only 6.5x tank volume every hour and it looked like a garbage can Lighting is next to change - I'm going to try and hide all the poles behind the main rock or attach a fixture from the ceiling Link to comment
MacheteAvenue Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 hey, gorgeous tank! does the g3 thing have a heater built in? Link to comment
Reef Casa Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 thanks! unfortunately it does not come with a built in heater it would be nice though to have the heater hidden fluval was supposed to come out with an attachment / upgrade but they never got around to it Link to comment

The size and shape of those islands perfectly compliment each other...with lots of open space between. LOVE IT !!! Thanks mini!! I just finished reading your tanks topic - your scape is incredible On a side note: My acans are all shriveled up They have been for 3 days now - not sure why Changed the carbon and did 30% water change. Now just wait and see I guess Link to comment

Reef Casa Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks everyone for comments on the video! I'm going to try and make a better one and upload it as 1080p Awesome vid love the music... love Cuba.Is that all that flow coming from the new Fluval? I didn't see any other powerheads. +1 Yea I removed both the power heads I'm just running the fluval - it was over kill with the other ones The only problem is I'm getting a dead spot behind the main rock I think I'll probably through another one back in behind the rock and hide it if it will fit does anyone know what is the smallest power head on the market?
