Chris! Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I was going to part out the equipment I was acquiring for the new build, for various reasons. been a rough couple months, mainly do to the absence of this particular little person. coping with a split and the added involvement of a kid is definitely not something I would wish on anyone. but all sad stories aside, decided that she was one of the main reasons I started with this hobby in the first place. Definitely sucks havin to go through all that with a kid involved, definitely can't be easy. Glad to hear your not parting with the tank plans, my son simply loves the fish and I am sure your daughter will as well. Hang in there, it will be well worth it Link to comment

Kauai Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Wait, no filtration?? Canister. took it off for the picture. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Canister. took it off for the picture. Are you planning on taking the canister out later on (no filtration) once the tank matures and stabilize? Link to comment
Kauai Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Are you planning on taking the canister out later on (no filtration) once the tank matures and stabilize? No. I'm sure for a pic0 sized tank and something without fish or something it's completely plausible, but even one fish, in my opinion, can cause a pretty big bio-load. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah that's true. How big is this tank again? I think it's doable if you're able to do big water changes weekly. Link to comment
Kauai Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah that's true. How big is this tank again? I think it's doable if you're able to do big water changes weekly. this is around 17-18 gallons, what I was told. probably more like 15-16 after everything. and I'm sure it's do-able, but I don't see much advantages except for having a bitching rimless tank with nothing hanging on it. I would rather have glass pipes for flow, than the black MP10 though. Link to comment

I would rather have glass pipes for flow, than the black MP10 though. Yeah that's true, I mean it's really all for the aesthetic approach to go filterless. So far I see DaleTu's ada60f, my ada mini L going filterless. I think there is this guy who went filterless as well. He's all over on reefbuilders.com, advancedaquarist.com http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/4/aquarium Crazy thing, he does 100% water change for this tank, weekly. Link to comment
