Usually we keep the curtain so that the tank doesn't get too much sunlight. The tank rarely gets natural sunlight, but if we get some sunlight, it's in the morning. ![]() Does your aquarium receive natural sunlight at any given part of the day? What is your lighting schedule (assuming you do not rely on sunlight for our viewing pleasure)? Any other equipment used (aside from heater and filter which are two very important components of the tank)?ġ1. 550 L per hour (=145 US Gallons per hour).ġ0. We clean the pads in tank water during water change once a week. What filter are you using? State brand, maintenance routine and power capacity. There are 5 live plants that have been there over 1.5 years, and one of them was put there about a 4 months ago.ĩ. What temperature is the tank water currently?Ĩ. The last addition was about 9 months ago.ħ. We have put new fish straight in the main tank, but we've decided that any new fish in the future will be put in quarantine first and at the moment I've had two small, new, female zebra danios in a quarantine tank for 1.5 weeks. Were the fish placed under quarantine period (minus the first batch from the point wherein the tank is ready to accommodate the inhabitants)? What fish do you have? How many are in your tank? How big are they? How long have you had them?ģ Danios (one male about 10 months, about 3cm (= 1.2 inches) + tail and 2 females about 10 months, about 3cm (= 1.2") + tail 4 corydoras (two males almost 3 years and about 3.5 cm (= 1.4") + tail and 2 females about 9 months one about 3.5 cm (= 1.4") + tail) and the other one 6 cm ( 2,4 ") + tail, and two Oto Cincluses (male and female about 17 months, male is about 2.5 cm (= 1") and female 3.5 cm (= 1.4")) - Those times are how long we've had them. ![]() The aquarium has been set up for almost 3 yearsĥ.

For cleaning, exchanging modules or filling with filter media, the filter is simply removed from its holder.My male Zebra Danio has some strange looking lump or growth on his lower lip. The holder for aquaball is simply fixed to the glass with suction cups. The round filter modules are designed so that the water is absorbed evenly from all sides over almost the whole surface area. Due to the modular construction the filter cartridges or media can be cleaned at different intervals thus preserving bacteria cultures.Īquaball sucks in water over a large surface area.The filter baskets can be easily clipped together and released (Easy-Klick Locking System).For extending the filter use ExtensionSET2.This means that by adding or removing filter modules (filter baskets) you can adjust the filter volume as necessary. bioMECH or SUBSTRATpro for biological filtration orĪlso biological as well as adsorbtive filter cartridges or filter pads can be placed in the other filter modules.Īquaball has a modular construction.a fine filter pad for fine filtration/polishing,.a filter pad for mechanical-biological filtration,.(Instead of the diffusor, other extension pieces can be used see accessories)ĭirectly under the pumphead is a mediabox. The power-diffusor is adjusted to regulate the air intake and thus the oxygen enrichment in the aquarium. The pump output and throughflow can be set by the control knob on the outflow nozzle. Thus the outflow of the filtered water can be aimed in any direction. The ball shaped pumphead sits in a ball joint and can be turned right round.
