Simple, nice, clean setup. I like your filtering system.

I doubtful HC can grow without chiller. Anyone can advice how to grow healty HC. Thanks

[Shadow]

Sure can why cannot? I've been growing many time on my scape. Some of the tank with HC you see in my blog grow without chiller, temp ranging from 28-30C

[bennyc]

I am growing my HC in non chiller too. Why? Someone told you it cannot be done?

[bennyc]

I've grown glosso in my 1 ft tank without chiller or fan, using Aqua Zonic T5 1200K light, which proves that glosso is really hardy and easy to grow.

[loohc]

Good to hear, glosstigma is a stem plant and stem plant easy melt if not enough lighting. I m using 2x18w lighting and my glosso growing taller and taller but the stem tend to melt, eventually float on top. Water temp 27 to 28.

My HC tank using 36W PL, 55W PL light and sometime 2x55W PL light depend on the situation.

As for glosso, I'm currently doing low tech tank, No CO2, 36W 2 years old PL tube. I found way to make it creep under low light without multiple trimming

[loohc]

Glooso, u hv a way to make it creep under low light! how? what type of soil u use. Thanks

[wongce]

This is a perfect example of a simple and nice tank....

Beautiful set-up!

Anyway in a set-up like this, is it still necessary to have a substrate? (since fissidens do not grow on soil)

Well, i use ADA aqua soil mainly to help maintain and buffer the pH at around 6.4-6.6 so its slightly acidic (suitable for the fish and shrimp species i keep), and aqua soil itself releases nutrients so i don't need to add fertilizers.

This particular tank was actually re-scaped twice before, the previous 2 scapes had rooted plants (which utilized the aqua soil directly), so i guess retaining the aqua soil also allows me the option to re-scape again anytime without needing to re-do the entire substrate.

Hi Urban, can i ask what does the Rhein single tap does for your filter?

Also where did you buy your lily pipe and the gUSH steel mesh guard? Also, what does the o-ring do?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The Eden 501 canister filter doesn't come with adjustable taps, so i installed a 9/12 Eheim single tap at the output hose to control the flow rate (or else the flow can be abit too strong for a small tank).

I got my ANS 10mm lily pipe set from Seaview, and the gUSH 13mm stainless steel mesh guard was from Green Chapter.

The o-rings were used as "collars" to increase the diameter of the 10mm glass intake, as the diameter of the 13mm mesh guard is abit too large to fit it. What i did was just simply stack a few o-rings and slip them over the glass intake, then slot on the mesh guard and it fits perfectly.
