Great looking, What end nozzles are you using on the return? Are they the variable flow ones?
Nice tank!
🤩
Love the sound of the water
It is really relaxing 👍
good film work

maybe but a business contact on your channel , you never know what you might get to help.
Not sure what you mean?
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics add an email to your channel, then business , who may want to help you with product ( erm someone I know) will possibly send you free things;)
@alanthecat59 thanks I will have a look doing that 👍
looks great very well done , lots of planting , and some nice goldfish .
Thank you
😻
Hello from my fish room channel in Chicago, where i just subscribed to yours! I love these little Apistos. Their behavior as they mind their territories and each other is always charming.
Hi, Thanks for the sub, will sub back now. They are great fish to watch.
Beautiful tank and it is always nice to see fry survive in a community tank!
Thank you, The female does do a good job of looking after them. I have about 5 sub adults from the last batch of fry.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics They look like great fish parents! Do the tetras ever spawn and do any ever survive?
@@pietertalens1256 I haven't seen them spawn, tbh they might still be a little too young as was tiny when I first got them.
Looks great!
Thank you
Awesome love this species
Nice tank you have i don't see the standard inside filter did you remove him?
Thank you for the comment. I removed the internal jewul filter and had this tank running on an external filter.
nice tank is he still operational
Not had this tank for a few years now no
Please please what kinda sand are you using
The sand on this tank was unipac limpopo black I believe, probably not spelt that right though.
Piękna pielegniczka 😊
Have you still got the reefer ?
Yeah, it's not going great though and I am thinking of selling ot and getting African cichlids 🤔
😍
Love the scape! Looks epic.
Thanks 👍
Looks amazing!
Thank you
nice
Thanks
Beautiful tank.
Thank you!
NICE
Love your zoa garden and your rock scape is super clean !!
Thanks Lisa, it is getting better every week at the moment 👍
Lovely 🌹
Nice setup!
makes me sad that they are born so lonely
How do you like that back wall position? I run the same in my 350 g2
I am a little unsure still. I prefer it for the loon of the tank, but not sure if there is enough of a mix of water in the middle section. What do you think?
@Hulltiger Reefing I like it but I'm not sold either. I keep thinking about moving to vertical mount but that blows sand.
@Jacob One on either side of the tank would probably be better, but it messes up the look of the tank. I don't see any issues with them being where they currently are, so I will just stick with it for now
Getting a reefer 250 g2. What part of the sump glass do you need to cut out for the reef at to fit
Hi thanks for the comment. On the G2 aquariums you don't need to cut anything out I believe, they are "reefmat" ready, so the filter sock holder and glass baffles just slide out. The down pipe already has the fitting to connect the reefmat as well I believe. Sorry I'm a couple of days late with reply
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics that’s perfect didn’t fancy having to cut out in the sump thanks for reply
@Stephen Fulton it isn't too bad. I had to do it on mine, if you get the knife set (sump modification kit) that red sea have done it was actually a lot easier then I thought it would be. You should be able to just fit it easy on your tank, I do think the glass baffle you have to slide out can be a bit stiff from what I have heard but just go steady with it.
What skimmer are you using? Does the cup take longer to fill or the skimmer start working erratically since installing the reefmat?
Hi thanks for the comment. The skimmate does seem to be a lot dryer and takes longer to fill, since I got the reefmat. Skimmer does seem to be less erratic aswell though.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics how often are you having to clean the cup now vs before?
@Sherman's Heli Channel used to have to empty the cup at least once a week and now maybe only once a fortnight
How is there no water flow!
There is a 300lph pump turned down with a spray bar outlet to help defuse the flow.
Bro they way to small for those fish
Thanks for the comment 👍 tank is fine for betta fish. They don't need loads of space and tank is a good enough volume and we'll filtered for all the fish. Great tank for bettas
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics How are they going now?
@@biggerman6002 I got rid of the tank when I moved house and had the chance to get a reef tank. Definitely no issue with bettas in a tank like that though. Betta don't like too big tanks it can actually stress them out and they're better left on there own with no tank mates. Best thing with the tanknis the filtration is great on it so no issues like you can have in small tanks with water quality
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics My guy you are doing some serious mental gymnastics saying that Betta prefer small tanks, they do like small space to go into but not live in. Let's look where they are native to, rice fields are not small. But to have the audacity to say they LIKE small tanks. I'm legitimately sad because I wanted to like you. But you just had to have a way to a small Betta tank.
Everyone has their own opinions. I am just stating mine and my experience with them. Betta in wild do live in rice paddys yes but the betta we keep are not much like the wild fish. They get stressed in a bigger tank patrolling it
Nice setup, may I ask what'd you used to separate the tanks from each other?
Thank you for the comment. The tank is a aqua one betta trio tank which comes with the dividers. They're plastic though and I don't see why you couldn't do it with glue and fish safe silicone. I'm sure they will be videos on CZcams on how to do it
What filter do you have in this tank? The water is still
This tanks have a back filter compartment. Runs along the full back of the tank. Is really good to be honest I had a spray bar to disperse the flow a bit. Bettas don't like to much flow.
What kind of filter do you use for the video
Hi, I use the D-D Coral Colour Lens Gen 2.
I just bought a betta duo tank and was looking for some info on how to setup and saw your channel/video. I love your setup! What kind of substrate did you use and types of plants?
Hi, thanks for the comment. I no longer have this tank(wish I still did tbh though) I believe I used tropica aquarium soil, but any planted aquarium substrate should be fine just pick one you can get hold of and you like the look of. As for plants you are better off with smaller plants like crypt Parva, anubis nana petite and just easy plants like them. So pretty much crypts, anubis, java fern and stem plants. Just have a look what you can get hold of.
Hi Just ordered my redsea 500 rollermat howneasy was it to cut the plastic drain pipe? Did you remove it first
Hi, I would definitely recommend getting a pipe cutter. I didn't have to remove the pipe to use these. Made it a lot easier. Just make sure you double check where to cut it and then check again. Also you will need some pvc pipe solvent weld. Have to make sure it is fish safe aswell.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics the pipe cutter that you squeeze to cut ordered them, do redsea not give you the glue for the pipe to weald? If not what's reef safe glue
@@reeferexplained8846 yeah look like pliers with a blade. You get some glue to glue the flexible pipe to the fitting(I didn't use this glue though) but to fit the fitting to the tank pipework you need solvent weld. In the UK I bought some from toolstation. But you want one for portable(drinking) water
I also have a 300xl and am thinking of the Reefmat 500, still happy after almost a month?
Hi, yeah still very happy with it. Working great keeping water a lot clearer and not even used half the first roll yet. Think I am on about 11m used.
The reef mat seems to be getting good reviews 👍
Not even had it on the tank a day yet and tank is looking a lot clearer 👍 well worth it and didn't take me long to fit it either. Really happy upto now
What's the size of the partitions nd tank. I have 9 of which I have got 5 of them 5 1 feet by 6 inch tanks so asking how to partition for 4 of them
I no longer have the tank sorry.
whats the size of each tank?
Each tank is roughly about 10litres or so
Nice tank tour 👍
Thanks Lisa 😄
How is it holding up over time? I am considering this tank. Moving from at 54l that is a bit of a nightmare to keep up with.
Not had the tank for a few years tbh. It was a very nice tank, I did change the scape and the fish to a tangyanikan community. Main reason I did this was because as the planted scape grew out more I was suffering from green cyno at the front of the tank. I think this was down to a lack of enough flow though. Which is often a problem in heavily planted tanks.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics Thank you for the reply!
Are you going to be dosing Matt or just relying on water changes ? If you’re going to dose what are you planning to use ?
I am dosing yes. I am using Red Sea Foundations. Tbh though I will probably change to all for reef when I have ran out. I have heard a lot of good things about it.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics all for reef is great for a nano but I’d probably stick with something like ATI essentials so you can control separately
@@jonandlisa2000 yeah true I do always have high Magnesium and never have to dose it. The Red sea stuff is really good now aswell.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics yeah you can dose mag manually if you need to add it. The Red Sea program is good, seen some good results with it
@@jonandlisa2000 yeah I just have a jebao dosing pump and made my own dosing containers out of vos water bottles. So doesn't have to cost loads either
That skimmer is so loud!!
It honestly isn't too bad. Had louder and had quieter.
@@Hulltiger_Aquatics I think the reef octo skimmers are a lot quieter
@@AdamUS123-j7q never had a reef octo or heard one tbh. I did have a nyos skimmer before that was a beautiful thing and very quiet. I was going to get one for this tank but thought I would give the redsea a go. It is a decent enough skimmer tbh.
did this light grow plants well?
It did yes. Low light loving plants are best though. Crypts, anubis and java ferns for example.
this this tank light grow your plants well?
It did yes, I would only stick to low or medium light plants though like crypts and anubis.
is the light that comes with this tank good for growing plants?
It will grow low and medium light plants well yes. I wouldn't use it with high demanding plants though. Great for crypts, anubis and java ferns though 👌
