If your tank continues to run for another 3 years... the HC will form a layer so thick it will reach the water surface
seriously ? if HC grown in abundance will it start stacking on top of each other ?
Apparently so, amazing! So i guess you have to trim the top layer off every now and again? I'd be scared to do so incase i killed it off. I did so the last time, although i guess it didnt need trimming at the time

I'm kind of mood less now day to tasking the tank. If i wanna to start i will clean swap all those H.C, probably reserve the fore ground for the Chendoi (U.G) only.
If i handling a scissor, i sure will trim the H.C wisely, because i know they will grow back shortly.

Time to start doing some work before everything go down to drain.
1st; Clean out the huge canister filter.
Look here were the secrete "recipe", the Substrate Pro 2.
Bottom secrete; Hexa Ring & Sintere glass Ring.
Closing after cleaning all filter media.
Reverse view of the caniter's cover.

Eheim & Jebo. The Jebo "Canister" is relatively tougher and better in term of build quality and moulding precision. But Jebo filter pump like 2nd World War aeroplane.
May be due to different OEM product manufacturer in combination.
Placement of 2 flow outlet (one in front another in rear corner).
Surface movement is considerably extreme. Well i never used any spray bar ever since i have a canister filter, i really hate that spray bar, it only jeopardize the overall system performance (Bad invention).

"Screw turbulence linear" transparent surface extracter. Ha! that was self invented after a dozen fail & error. Performing water surface limes clear out in minutes.
Utricularia Graminifolia (The Chendoi) grown at the rear panel of the tank just below water line.
Looks like i got to trim frequently as well. Hope 1FT HC together with some rotalas indica doesnt require trimming weekly.
Sometime in the middle of my tank-set.
Boot the "Timer" to Digital
Jebo 950 is better than Eheim... physically & surely (at least for me- for the canister only, not the pump itself)
Arctica is my dream chiller. It generated less heat around in confined space, secondly it digital thermostat is more precise in temperature control.
