I tried this method minus the soil and other stuff, did not turn out very well. My attempt was with Sudo Sand.
Nice layout though, and that Powerhouse thing is one expensive piece of ceramic..
Love the scape.

Nicely setup hmmm my doubt is how long will the Ada last..... Another thing is those lava rocks?
You can probably DIY a similar filter using a cheap ceramic pot from Daiso for less. I've seen the side diagrams and they work pretty much like the old school corner box-filters. Looks nice though.

Probably if you buy a corner box filter and fit it into the ceramic pot from Daiso it would still be much cheaper.You can probably DIY a similar filter using a cheap ceramic pot from Daiso for less.

Bro if not how are they going to charge you premium hahahaha if is just a corner filter with a premium price.You can probably DIY a similar filter using a cheap ceramic pot from Daiso for less.

LOL chee, that works too.
avex, I never bought that product so the premium doesn't apply to me. I just find it amazing that a such a thing can be replaced by another product for a fraction of the price.

soil-less means no soil mah... so i never use any soil means soil less?
hahaha

haha, of course i know that the common corner filter or gex small filter cost $5 and works exactly the same like that. its the looks that caught me and the 'no need' to diy any stuff that got me into buying that. hahaha. *diy is a pain for common corner filters as the inlet is too big to prevent shrimplets in. hahahaLOL chee, that works too.

anyway, Ada power sand is not soil, its pumice as well, so i dont think it will ever expire its buffering capacity, since its inert to begin with. maybe some of the bro here got a misunderstanding that i'm using ada Powder soil at the bottom. cheers

The ceramic pot is manufactured and commercialize after pretty much research. Must pay a premium for the hardwork that the manufacturer comes out with these idea. Anyone can also make one by DIY but only when the product is out then can copycat. Lol
Not to mention...hehe...Since it in good use in your last canister better then I just place it in my storage box....hehe
heehee, thanks bai for the K1..
its in the last cannister...
when i first started, tried 4 kinds of sand to test over 2 months to test if its inert, finally got this sand from crs haven.I tried this method minus the soil and other stuff, did not turn out very well. My attempt was with Sudo Sand.

It has some quartz in it and is mud-based if i'm not wrong. turned out to be inert.
Sudo sand'ph shoot up to 7.3 for my tests.

For a fancy filter it better be worth the money. I still like the look though. Like a small coffee pot.
Of all the "sands" I've used I think the best was the Europet fine sand that I bought many years ago. Now that was fine sand, not gunk passed off as sand like the Sudo sand. There's tiny metallic bits and ash in the sand, which makes me think that they might be waste from industrial sand blasting, or dredged from the seashore. Could you take a macro shot of the sand? It seems to be a commercially available product from CaribSea.

When I first started out, a bro sold me an exact clone of this ceramic filter. For cheap. Let's see if I can find it in the junk heap hahahaha
I wonder if you can modify a coffee pot into a filter?For a fancy filter it better be worth the money. I still like the look though. Like a small coffee pot.

Cool setup bro, love it!! Wow!! Someday, you can setup business already, like errr.... shrimp consultancy Pte Ltd, or expert shrimp breeding course (3 days)
I'm sure many will sign up... Make sure you give me discount when that happens okie?!
siao, so many pro breeders out there, i'm just trying to explore the limitations.Cool setup bro, love it!! Wow!! Someday, you can setup business already, like errr.... shrimp consultancy Pte Ltd, or expert shrimp breeding course (3 days)

With the aid of this setup, i would like to test 2 things:
1: is the usage of soil only for ph buffering purposes? If not, what other properties does it have on shrimps.(so i use sand)
2: does the reason for changing water solely to reduce nitrate and not anything else? would like to find out this as well. (so i not planning to change water, will try to reduce nitrate by inline cannisters)
haha. wish me luck, and shearerkk, i may want to go your office and snatch some bba from you! hahaha
