Did you mean the knob on top of the filter head?

@@shawnng4188 I didn't understand your question. Can you please specify it?

Which knob are you speaking about? Can you specify?

Aquarium മേടിച്ചത് backwater aquatics കൊച്ചിയിൽ നിന്നാണ്. Light 8 hours/day and filter 24X7 run ചെയ്യും. വലിയ രീതിയിൽ കറണ്ട് ബില്ല് ഒന്നും കൂടുകയില്ല.

What help do you need bro?

water agitation can reduce water temperature ? I have 120 Cm Fish tank and 50 cm Silver arowana

Temprature her goes 35 +

The easiest way to cool water is by surface evaporation. Agitation can also help in increasing the surface evaporation rate. But 35+° is too high. You cannot bring that down with the help of a surface blower. The best way to cool such a tank is to use a chiller. Otherwise cool the room with an air conditioner (if electricity is free😅).

What is the actual water temperature? Room temperature and aquarium water temperature will not be the same. Please measure it.

No. It is necessary only during the initial setup and sometimes after cleaning the canister. This has to be done only because this filter doesn't have a priming feature.

Sorry to disappoint you. I really liked the music. That's why I added it.

Add more beneficial bacteria to the tank. Once the nitrogen cycle is established, the tank becomes stable, thereby eliminating the diatoms.

@@thenatureaquarist4650 I have added Biomedia in the fiter and after every major water change I add OZPOLISH Bio-Cure. Hoping the cycle will set in soon.

Thank you

Shiruba range of filters are good. The only thing you have to keep in mind is if the flow rate of the filter is enough for your tank size.

Diatoms don't turn green. If that's the case in your tank, then it means the diatom phase is over and the algae have taken over. So whatever you see in the form of green(other than plants), has to be algae.

No. It's not loud. A pretty good filter by the way.

Thank you for the feedback about the M series and the app. The app as usual requires a lot of improvement in terms of user controls. My L900 Pro still turns on after 12 a.m. I had to reset it many times to turn it off again. I feel this light technology is still in the developing stage. I really hope they bring a stable version very soon. Thank you From India, The Nature Aquarist

The All in one soil is recommended for nature aquariums with aqua soil whereas golden is recommended for planted aquariums that doesn't have aqua soil. As the aqua soil itself contains nutrients, they do not require heavy water column fertilization.

@The Nature Aquarist thanks this helps a heap Appreciate your advice

Most welcome Brother 😊

Thank you

Thanks a lot for clearing the matter. Hoping to see the results in my tank once I reset it. Once again... really appreciate that the company itself came to clear the doubt. Thank you.....🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@thenatureaquarist4650 anytime. Please feel free to contact us if you need any help with our products.

I think it should be fine.

@@thenatureaquarist4650 Thanks for the reply. Did you manage to figure out how much of RGB worked for you for plant growth?

@@arunr5529 Yeah. As there's already 3 basic options for light settings, that is Red, Green and Mixed, I took those readings and customised it to my own liking.

You can get a rough idea from the other commitments for this video. Please go through it.

Yes of course! It surely does come back because you haven't treated the real causing factor. It mainly depends on the lighting, fluctuations in co2 levels and the water parameters. As any aquascaper would say "regular maintenance is the key to a healthy aquascape". Keep following the routine and I'm sure you'll find the result in the near future.....

Hello sir. I'm just a hobbyist, not a seller.

Estimative Index is based on high water column fertilization. ഇത് ചെയ്യണമെങ്കിൽ RO water തന്നെ ഉപയോഗിക്കണം. അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വീട്ടിൽ കിട്ടുന്ന വെള്ളം അത്ര നല്ല quality ഉള്ളതായിരിക്കണം. കേരളത്തിലെ temperature and humidity വെച്ച് ഇത് നടത്തിക്കൊണ്ടു പോകുന്നത് അത്ര എളുപ്പമാവില്ല. Heavy water colum fertilization കാരണം algae വരാൻ വളരേ എളുപ്പമാണ്. So അതുകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ lean dosing aanu കൂടുതൽ ഫലപ്രദമായി കാണുന്നത്.

EI dosing (by Tomm Barr) വളരെ easy ആണ്. But water quality and temperature of the tank, ഈ രണ്ടിനുംമാണ് വളരെ പ്രാധാന്യം. ഇത് correct അല്ലെങ്കിൽ algae പെട്ടന്ന് ടാങ്കിൽ വളരും.

You can try Masterline or Aquavascular.

Shiruba is a good filter by all means. I cannot comment on the dophin range of filters as I haven't used it. But there news that the new range of filters released have a better build quality than the previous ones in the market.

Aquavascular is the brand that I can recommend to you. But According to me, aquasoil is an essential component for low tech as well as high tech planted aquariums, mainly because they help in buffering the pH and in a small way kH as well. They also help in absorbing the nutrients in the water column, thereby providing nutrients to the roots of the plants in it. If you are using epiphytes only, then maybe, you can avoid aquasoil. But still not recommended according to me.

It always depends on your source water quality. So please keep that in mind as well. Thank you for asking. Always glad to help😊

All plants require fertilizer. So it's not about which one. But about how you dose it. For moss, substrate level fertilization is not important (I believe) as moss absorb the fertilizers from the water column.

I think it's just yeast. But it's company secret. This equipment is actually meant for small/nano tanks. It would be better to use a pressurized CO2 cylinder for bigger tanks.

I'm currently using this filter on a 45p tank and I'm quite happy with it's performance. The reason you feel it's not recommended for a 25 gallon can be explained. I too don't think it can be used in a Nature aquarium of 25 gallons. After adding the media in the canister the output reduces about 25-30% of the actually measured output in litres per hour. So that's one reason. The 2nd one is that, I think this can be used in a 20 gallon tank for just fish only and not Planted aquariums. I really hope this helped.

@@thenatureaquarist4650 I eventually added Tidal55 in my tank as I'm not gonna just have fish only tank. thank you for the response.

Thank you for sharing 😊

Yes, you can. Make sure it's not below 120cm from the tank. That might lead to some issues with the outflow.

ഞാൻ ഇതുവരെ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് നോക്കിയിട്ടില്ല.

Thank you 🙏🏻

The app really needs an improvement. But still it's usable. I found my way to live with it. The light is really a good one. But you need to spend some time to figure out the actual settings. I'll be putting up a review video of it soon on my channel.

@@thenatureaquarist4650 i can live with the simplest of settings. but on my end, it's really buggy. :( can't even edit names haha and i hope they add a gradual turning on of the lights instead of an actual flick when the timer is on. will wait for your review. :)

Which version are you using? B1.0 or 2.0?

@@thenatureaquarist4650 B2.0 advanced mode. can't seem to access the 1.0

@@BuildersBench Oh B 2.0? That's great. But still I can't say if you are lucky or not, because my light works with only the B 1.0 settings. No bugs as of now. It has just the basic settings, on, off and RGB adjustment. I'll have to give it a try to actually experience it. 😅😅😅

Thank you. Glad to know that it helped. I have given the link to buy this filter online in the description box below the video. Please do check it out.

Yes brother 🙏🏻. Was busy with many things in life. You'll see the update on June 2022.

Thank you 😊🙏🏻

It was something I had since a long time. There was a little bit leftover. So I just used it up. Now it's not easily available.

Yes. You are right. The app does require a lot of improvement 😅😅

@@thenatureaquarist4650 even the dimming option isn’t available light goes off then on after a minute to dim if u set another time. Also u cant set a time after 12 am. The colour setting and the time settings disconnect. Such a waste

@@karkoor Oh! Is that so? I haven't faced any issue like that. I have found another issue with this light that, if there are many power outages happening, I do find that the light turns on automatically after 12:00 A.M. During those times I would have to directly reset the timing for on and off setting.

@@karkoor Which model of Week Aqua light are you using?

@@thenatureaquarist4650 L600 my friend uses the P600 and its pretty the same disappointing app

Thank you. 18.2cmX12.2cmX26cm(height)

All are good lights. Your budget is what you should be mainly concerned about.

S400 pro

Hello. Wasn't it available from where you bought it?

@@thenatureaquarist4650 nope, I'm trying to find in internet but don't get it in India..

Oh okay. Let me see if I can find a place from where you get them.

Plz connect to me, we are Week Aqua Distributor

If you are having a small planted tank then I can suggest you to go with Aquavascular. They are cost effective and provide good results. On the other hand if (for a big tank) you can try the all in one's from Masterline. They have a wide range of all in one's and also micros and macros separately.

@@thenatureaquarist4650 I did the same as Arijeet started with tropica but i am now using several seachem products and wanted to try all in one soil because i use aquasoil and co2 on my tank, when you say you don't recomend masterline for smaller tanks is it something specific or because of the 1 year validity? I have a 10 gallon highly dense planted tank, would you recommend the masterline soil?

Nothing specific about it. I just mentioned it because if you are using a nano tank which is less than 30 litres in capacity, the dosing become complicated regarding the quantity of fertz. That's why I said I don't recommend these to be used in Nano tanks.😊

Thank you for the suggestion. I have added the details about the tank in the video description box below the video under the heading "Tank Details". Please do check it out 🙏🏻...
