Hi From Perth (56k beware) Geo Pics

[Reillin]

Gday Brian,

Your tank looks fantastic and those fish looks like the happiest Geos and SAs on earth. Such a nice and pristine looking tank. Definitely one of the best black-water biotopic tank I have seen.

I would put in another U-tube. Even another two. This is just for a worst case scenario of the one tube blocking up.


Cheers,
Vien.

Thanks for your comments Vien. Much appreciated.

Have had the single u tube running for over a month now. No air bubbles, no blockages. Only 4l/h going through the tube. You are probably right, I should add another one for safety sake. Will try fit one in...

Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian .. very impressive setup . . how is it fairing further down the track , did the automatic water changer continue to work well . . am getting im similar size geo tank and like your ideas! rgds, Tim (ex Perth fishie)

Hi Tim

Constant drip still working flawlessly. Have changed the input water to r/o and only drips in at about 4l/h.

No issues with the tank at all. Very low maintenance.

Cheers
Brian
