New 2 x 1.5 x 1.5 scape

[Phillipians]

Finally got some time to do a rescape of my tank after wife had given birth.

This is my other baby. 2 days worth of rock hunting and buying 3 piece wood which I only used 1. Wasted $$$



Nothing much and photos suck but its taken from Samsung note 2. Wait till Note 4 comes out and I will take better ones. Either that or I find time use my DSLR take the photos. lol

Feel free to comment.

Its called "Ascent"

It's not a partition tank. Normal low iron glass single unit glass tank. From CRS

By the way, thanks for the plants

[boonware]

Congratz on your new born and I know how crazy it can be, cause mine just came three weeks ago and I'm also rescaping hahah! Agree with some of them, time to clean the lily pipes :P

[Phillipians]

Since we are on this topic. How do I actually go about cleaning the pipes???
Too massive a task I think..

[Phillipians]

Next rescape I ll just get metal ones. Glass ones too overrated... Must clean every other week. That's too much of a maintenance for me

Use a long brush,LFS sell it only a few dollars for set of 5 with different thickness.

Totally agree, that why i still use plastic pipe for in and out flow.

Just sharing,

You can also use cotton wool and use water to flush thru the glass pipe... you may want to tape the inlet so the cotton wool could be flush thru easily, but just ensure you have an opening on the end, else you will have trouble getting the cotton wool out.

I use this method for all my pipes and it would much better than those commercial pipe cleaner...

Nice scape.liking the rock work on this thing. And congrats on the newborn!!
Can't wait for the plants to grow out

[Phillipians]

Hmm I understand the use of the long brush thingy. But that is easy for the outlet. There is no way to brush inlet unless I remove the piping from the inlet.. and that my friend, is TOO much of a hassle for a classic eheim lol

The outlet is easy, use the flexible brush. The inlet a bit tricky, my trick is to turn off the filter and use a syringe to inject H2O2 inside. Do it weekly and it will always clean, at least the part that inside the tank

[Phillipians]

Hmm h2o2 I have heard. But injecting it won't get it into the top portion? Someone should invent removable inlet pipe or rather detachable inlet so can use sponge clean easily as well. But thanks for the tip. I will clean outlet first heh
