  1. Anyways i've trying to watch some reviews and opinion about this 3: Fluval 207 Jbl e702 greenline Tetra 700 ex JBL there are a couple vídeos but they are in German and there is none long term review Tetra doesnt seem that famous... But i do prefer the way that JBL and Tetra work , to be honest Tetra seems to have the mos efficient way of filtration in my opinion, i just wanna know if those filters are reliable and if its easy to find spare parts.
  2. When i went for tidal i was in hurry but i do like the basket its way easy to clean plus the self priming system is awesome. But going for a canister filter with clear lily pipes will give a cleaner look and a better filtration i think The Oase that i would go for is the thermo 250 which is 230€ here in Portugal and the fluval in amazon you can get it between 60€/80€ the fluval 207 right know is 110€ so its a big difference.
  3. Hello guys i have 17 gallon Cube, for filtration i use a tidal 55 but i would like a cleaner look in the tank and something more safe for my Chilli Rasborras and shrimps. So i was wondering about a canister filter. Which canister filters do you recomend? I've been looking at the fluval 107 or 207 or the eheim e702, i would to have a inline heating aswell but as far as i know the only canisters with inline heater are the oase which are much more expensive than the ones i mentioned before.
  4. In my case i don't really want a high flow as the Celestial Pearl Danios and the Chili Rasborras don't like it, i just wanna have a good filtration, i will be honest with you the Tidal 55 has been great i use filter floss and change it every week not much work the water has been looking great except when i went on holidays so nothing to say about the filter. But i feel that a canister filter would do a better job , would have a cleaner look, less flow , and with the prefilter sponge it would be safer for the fish and shrimp, because the Chilli Rasborras can definitly go into the skimmer
  5. I really thought about that, but i think the only canister filter with inline heating is the oase , correct me if im wrong. But i would be really nice to only have the lily pipes in the tank. Every time i clean the filter there are some shrimp inside but its rare to find some dead, which canister filter do you recomend other than fluval? Do you regret buying the filter? Would you go for other one? The filtration over all is good?
  6. I will have a look at both fluval filters , and i will probably go for one of them , i just don't wanted to buy a filter that would give me problems but if the filtration is better and it takes less maintenance that sounds perfect. The difference between the 107 and the 207 is 7€ do you think it would be too much flow for the tank?
  7. Do you think it would be better for the this tank the 107 or 207? Besides the maintenance, the filtration is good? Did you have any leaks or problems with the 207? Can you use filter wool on the fluval like change the sponges for the filter wool?
  8. I wrote it wrong i have 40 cm cube so it will be about 64 liters i think in gallons its about 17.
  9. Hi guys, i have 40 cm cube my filter is a Seachem Tidal 55, now i only have red cherry shrimps, but im thinking about adding Celestial Pearl Danios and some Chilli Rasborras, and i've been thinking about getting the fluval 107. Is it worthit the change or not? The LPH of the fluval 107 is lower than the tidal 55 but i think the fluval will be a lot more efficient than the tidal 55. What do you guys think? Anyone that have a fluval 107 have anything good or bad to say about the filter?
  10. Hey guys , i wanna add Co2 to my aquarium i already have a 2kg extinguisher that i will use. I've been looking to some Regulator and this is the ones i been think about. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mP9gmeM https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKCGA7e https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLMsimy Does anyone have one of this or tried before? And if you know any regulator about 40€/50€ that you are happy with tell me please. I've been looking to some inside difusers, there is this one on amazon https://www.amazon.es/dp/B08Y9879GN?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_1ZKM1APZHFHR0CAKN1B9&cafHiResImg=1&language=pt-PT Is there any criteria to know which difuser is better than other or instead of the twinstar diffuser i can go for a no brand one? thank you guys!
  11. Mine is already six hours per day in the begginning i had 8 hours per day full power , then i changed to six hours a day, then i dimmed my light about 30% and now dimmed another 15% i think i will wait and see if it gets better if not i will get some nerite snails or use some Excel so my plants don't die and keep adjusting or even buy a phosphate test so i know if it's either the phosphates or the light
  12. Hey guys a couple days i started noticing that my bucephalandras and my anubias got some o gsa, then i read about them and all i found is that appear either with low phosphates or high phosphates,and high light also promote this Algae, by the time it started showing up i wasnt dosing any fertilizer so i thought it would be the lack of phosphates in the water, i also dimmed twice my light (twinstar 45B). But it doesn't look any better actualy i think it kept growing. I dimmed my light again today ,did a water change and i dosed the Tropica specialised. You guys now what im doing wrong ? Or what other things that can promote gsa?
  13. Hey guys some of my shrimp been dying but all my parameters look good today i looked at one of the shrimps in my aquarium and it looked like he had a death ring but rly small, can anyone tell me if this is a death ring or im just overthinking
  14. I only have 10 shrimps and one ancistrus so i think is low stocked but maybe i will get the premium
  15. Thanks for the advice! This two was from Tropica 1-2 G , gonna check it out! I have the tropica specialised, but didnt dosage anything yet , i still testing my water and it always had nitrates till now, so probably on the next water change i will dosage im a bit afraid of dosing and then have an Algae bloom or more nitrates than i need
