His wood is too huge liao. He might have to cycle the wood with the tank. It might takes longer to get rid of the tanin.

Ya will take a longer time , but he is a very patient guy you know , his tank was bought in Oct 2011 , its been half a year and still getting material and searching for information. I really salute him for his patient......Next time i do a bigger tank i also need to learn from him.

hi guys sorry for keeping you all waiting
finally my 4ft is running..

This are the Mosura Product i am using


I lay out my Mosura Old Sea Mud and bt9 for my base.

I than pour in my Breeder soil. Big grain bottom and powder type top.
Reason: the smaller grain will be compact on top. This will contain the minerals and prolong the lifespan a bit longer >> i bro taught me this if i here him right,haha thanks!!!



i than pour some Mosura Sea Mud and bt9 before topping up with the powder type.


I than slowly pour and fill up the tank with tap water(TOOK ME 1.5 HOURS) and prime my 2260. Luckily this time i did not flood my room!!! the system works fine and NO LEAKAGES!!!!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE PICTURE!!!




THIS IS HOW MY SYSTEM WORKS!!! i try to make it neat but can't..hahah there are still air in my system i hope tomorrow all be gone..


I than put it Mosura Shizen and the rest i mix it with water in a glass and pour them!!!



this is my reducer. will buy one more clamp to clamped it!!



Finally this is how it all looks like NOW!!! the yellowish color is from the Mosura Shizen and
a bit cloudy but in the morning all will be clear!!
will be keeping the temperature between 27-28 degree!! (bb grow slow in low temperature)



This will not be my final journal as this just to show the bros out here!!! hope you guys enjoy!!!
the final journal will be at my blog.(give me time to write in detail)

thanks

Nice setup.
Just worry about the chiller directly beside your bed.

[rascal]

haha.. thanks bro!! but too bad i not using the DW i bought for this be nicer with it!!

[rascal]

Guys.. My system still havin bubbles in it.. Is it because i fill my 2260 with only 87% media and theres a gap in it?? But canot be right?? ¤
All joint are tighten or is it theres are bubble trap in the media itself??

[ZackZhou]

Can check how you connect your prefilter.. Where is the outlet? Top one or the bottom one?

[rascal]

Top?? Why?? May becauce i uaing 2 reducer?? Butcannot be

[ZackZhou]

I had this problem before. My setup that time was with 4 subfilters wrote the powered filter. The 4 subfilters posed to be too much obstruction for the water to flow down fast enough for the filter to work. Thus, air bubbles keep on forming. However, I'm not sure if it has anything related to your incident.

[rascal]

my pre filter is the one trapping the air!!!! alamak!!! i pack to much wool!!! i think i will try to change it.. may be it works

[newlife]

Great sharing...worth a 5 stars....up!!!

[rascal]

thankss bro!!!
btw i still can't solve the bubble problem,!!! i dun mind having tiny bubbles in the tank.. i believe more oxygen but my 2260 is making to much noise... hais!!

[eviltrain]

Try tilt ur canister to let the excess air runs out.

I guess it could also be the 2260 dustbin cover is not close tight enough. U got to press down the cover hard and screw it tightly. Got like 8-10 screws right? Make sure every screw is tighten

[HeMan]

I also have this problem, i shake my canister a bit and place a piece of sponge on my outlet , so the bubbles coming out from the canister will be gone when it go through the sponge.

[rascal]

bro HEman can you take a picture of your solution??
i will design something to slow down the current in the tank while not the reducing the flow of my system..
