Shrimps enjoying their food
It's fun to watch them gather
Is the above food good enough as a daily staple? Or should I mix some CRS food?
Installed a fan today... this fan will only run during weekends and public holidays
the fan looks cute... is it ADA product ? :P
how effective is the mini fan?
I don't think ADA will market this plastic fanOriginally Posted by fireblade
ADA would probably come up with a brushed aluminium or non-directional stainless steel version to justify for the price (which many of us are willing to pay)
It's actually not that small, regular size. Dymax bought from NA.
Tank is running nicely for the past week... plants are looking fine too (under 3W of LEDs)... the shrimps are also surviving well
Added a pair of higher-grade CRS 2 days ago... will not add too many as I just need a focal point in the tank
My interest has wandered! Do U?
You forgotten to seal your OHF inlet with sponge, your shrimp may go in. You may find alot of small shrimp inside having party.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! TIME TO LAY BACK AND RELAX!

Thanks for the reminder... I actually transfered this sponge over to the Kienke tank to trap friesYou forgotten to seal your OHF inlet with sponge, your shrimp may go in. You may find alot of small shrimp inside having party.
Time for an update... all the Flame moss are growing nicely... no sign of algae
The Glossostigmas are not doing too well... growth is stunted and some leaves turned brown
But I'm glad to see a few new runners stretching out.
To make the gravel more fertile... I added 1/2 tablet into the gravel at the center of the Glossostigma colony. Hopefully it will make a difference. Will update again soon
Decided to upgrade the filtration capacity for this tank as the current Eheim Liberty HOB doesn't provide much of permanent bacteria housing.
Ok that's just an excuse... the fact is I can't resist this little guy
It's so cute
Eheim 2211 (baby)
It's significantly smaller than Ecco actually... but I guess it's still much better than my HOB
Disappointingly, the canister only comes with 2 thin pieces of sponge... no media
Actually it's not a problem for me as I am using back the matured bacteria housing from my Eheim ProII. I have to take extra precaution to avoid wiping off the bacteria.
Put them in a stocking bag for easier maintenance later
It stands next to my tank... almost zero head loss
I can't have tight-fit hose as I need to allow for the tank lid to open
It's less neat that way but this portion is blocked by my LCD monitor... so it's ok
With the usual rainbar (smaller version)... the flow is perfect for a 1ft tank! A bit weak for a standard 2 feet
Emm... it's so small... I guess I can lift the whole thing (canister plus all the tubes) and dismantle in the bathroomWould like to know how you plan to maintain this filter without getting your desk wet.
Oh! I didn't know this model has been around for 15 yearsI think that would work too.
Bought this model maybe about 15 years old and it still works!Just that its a real pain to maintain.
ehiem is a very good and reliable brand, my ehiem 2213 have been running for 1year and its still in a very good condition.
You can add those quick realease valve. So you do not need to dismantle the tube during maintenance.Emm... it's so small... I guess I can lift the whole thing (canister plus all the tubes) and dismantle in the bathroom
My 2217 is since 1995, beside external cosmetic, it is still in good condition. I got it for free from my coleague, I only need to change the o-ring.
I have removed the 100W heater also... this tank is back on track with a total of 8W consumption:
1) LED light 3W total
2) Eheim 2211 5W
I do run a fan during Sat and Sun... maybe add another 2W to the overall
