New to vivariums! Need some help on hardware...

[archenemy]

Hi guys..before i start doing a vivarium..need some tips on where to get certain things...

Besides the multi-tap(usually used for air)..is there anyway i can divert waterflow to different parts of the tank?

If i were to use the multi-tap..where can i buy the adaptor to connect the water pipe from the cannister filter (which is so big) to the multi-tap (which is so narrow)?

Anyone knows where to buy peat blocks? I read online that it is good to create the land area in the tank...

Thanks in advance!

Try mistking.

[archenemy]

Do they have a local dealer?

[Merviso]

Bro, try Seaview... Think they still selling something like that from Taiwan brand...

[archenemy]

Ahh...okok...

I got my tank with backdrop already...

Now have to headache how to dissipate the water flow from 1 source (cannister filter out)...

[Neondagger]

just dissipate from the top la. Like a waterfall

[archenemy]

I would want the water to come down from the other side as well...

Unless I can get a 4ft + rainbar that comes with a 90 degree bend...

Haha...

[Merviso]

Maybe you can use PVC pipes to make your own rainbar, with L-Joint to make up the 90 degree bend...

Why don't you consider this ？（Note: The price shown is in HKD )

[archenemy]

Where can i get this in SGP?

Im considering that option too..at least i can drill the hole big enough to fit small pipes for me to divert water flow using normal air pipes...

Hi archenemy

I wonder is your canister strong enough to pump water to the background on what height? For mine, I used 6K liter/hr to pump water up to nearly 2m high to create water fall, but I still need at least 10k liter/hr to create a consistent amount of water flow. However, the higher the pump's wattage the higher the PUB bill...sighs

At least, my palu still look pretty good...

Hope this will help you.

[eddy planer]

Yeah, my DIY tank is 4ft tall plus my DIY wooden table of 2ft already hit 2m.

But still work,lah!

[archenemy]

1st draft....

[eddy planer]

Nice background! What kind of project are you building?

[archenemy]

Eh...i also dont know how to describe to you...

A paludarium? Haha...i envision lots of moss...anubias nana & some low requirement plants...

Some shrimps..a bit of cardinal tetras...

[eddy planer]

Hey archenemy,
I'm still waiting to see your complete project... When? Me camping here!

[archenemy]

Not so fast..i can only put in the water on 22nd feb (according to fengshui)...

Patient..good things are worth the wait (yah right!) hahahaha...
