Awww she didnt look too pleased....u should have introduced her!! Luved the video, very informative
We have these at work as I'm a window cleaner so stuffs dead cheap 😂. Just about to set up mine for my tank downstairs thanks to your videos.
Hi, yeah it would be great if you went over the different cartridges for HMA filters.
Awwww i did get a good laugh when the tap went wild 😂.
This is so pleasant to the eyes seeing those creatures, thanks for sharing, God bless you and your family, stay safe always..
Finishing work and seeing a new video out, what a combo
You squirted yourself! Awww. It gave me the biggest laugh, though, at myself too. Been there, done that got the T-shirt.
Really enjoy the videos on how the fish room works. Hoping to have my own 1 day 🤞
Great system
U got a brilliant system going there. Wish I had that
Very entertaining, informative and interesting.
Great video mate
Looking forward to the tank drilling 👍
Coming soon! Next video
Good video!
What a great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant.
Make sure to show us when you drill that other tank. Also if you manage to find what that price is for the overflow that attached it to a hose then let me know as I’ve looked and I can’t find it

@@AquariumAdventures o o ordered a load of those ready (you showed them me last time)
It’s the bit you have coming from that and on to the hose. Like a “female barbed hose something” but I don’t know what to search for pal
Hosetail maybe?
@@Mountain_Aquatics I can't remember where I got them, and have run out of them myself! Might be these?

Hi, can we change one of the cartridges in the HMA system to something to reduce the TDS in the water!
Hi mate I'm trying to find a thermastatic mixer but struggling to find anything less that 38c what one do you use?
I am trying setup a drip system on my one tank but have been advised not to change more than 5% a day about 30 ltrs a day as you can flush ammonia away rather than build up filter bacteria to remove it but am struggling to reduce the pressure enough to get anywhere near this ( instruction say only to reduce the input pressure to reduce flow and not with the 1/4 taps ?? )
Do you run some to waste as 4ltrs per minute seems a lot more water than you are dripping into your tanks ?
Many Thanks
Paul
Looks like you have iron in your water.
How has the auto fert system been working in your main tank?
Been doing well - not sure it is iron as plants were showing iron deficiency
Hi, what filter cartridges do you use ? I tried to follow the link but It wasn't found. Trying to make a similar setup for my tanks and your advice on these have really helped!
where did you get the mixer tap from and what make and model is it
Lol that was funny I was going to ask my tanks are in my basement and I have a cold water feed but not hot do you no of anyway I can plum some sort of water heater to my cold water pipe so I don’t have to run my pyhon 12m I can’t do the cold water changers in winter as I think it’s to cold thanks for the video
Have a look into tankless water heaters - something like this: amzn.to/2YbfB4u
I've not used them before so you'd need to research yourself, and if it were me i'd pay a plumber!
Ok thank you I will take a look
Hi pal. Iv got a planted tank. Just had an outbreak of brown algae. Looks like rust on the leaves of my plants. The tank was looking good just a few days ago with loads of pearling going on. Now nothing and got this algae. Any ideas??
I'm not sure sorry - will be a spike in something, if in doubt - water change!
@@AquariumAdventures iv done a test and all my levels are good. Must be either too much fertiliser or too much light.
Where did u get the drip part that goes in the tanks
He buys them from b&q
I don't think B&Q sell them any more - they have them on Amazon: amzn.to/39abeg1
@@AquariumAdventures I was going to ask the same question but you have already answered it thank you so much. 👍
Hello, I keep Corydoras and I have a high KH tap water, is it worth me spending the extra money on a CBR2 charcoal filter. I have read that it removes the copper also, making it safer for Corydoras.
(I know the HMA filter won't change the KH!)
I think I'm right in saying KH is Calcium and Magnesium so a high KH wouldn't mean there is a lot of Copper in the water.
I think you should test for Copper before taking action. But I do believe the HMA would remove copper and other heavy metals.
If you wanted to reduce KH I think the only way is to use and RO system, but you would then have to remineralise your water.
I'm lucky that my water is soft with low PH out the tap, my Cory's seem happy... but I wouldn't keep discus because it's too much hassle (at this stage in the hobby at least 😉)
A HMA will definitely remove copper, so might be worth it if you're having problems.
@@AquariumAdventures I have just read that the cheaper cartridges that come with the filter use a charcoal that is produced with burnt coconuts, the CBR2 cartridge uses coconut charcoal that has been cleaned with an acid. I just wanted to know if it was worth the extra for the CBR2 cartridge. Luke answered my question that I should test the water for copper, I just assumed I had copper in my water as my pipes are old! Hope this makes sense.
I use a similar setup as a tap water filter, buy my cartridges online, it's cheeper. The description says carbon cartridges last for 4 weeks. Can you give me the name of the cartridges you buy? Maybe they are better than the cheep ones I buy.
Links in the description 👍
Hey do you know a good place to get comunity fish through the mail? (UK)
well...
www.aquariumadventures.co.uk/product-category/fish/
Or Tropco have been quite good for me in the past
@@AquariumAdventures The endlers are nice on your website. I might get some for my 90 litre tank.
but I'm also after tetras, corydoras and shrimp.
All of my tanks have been really understocked for a long time... 180 litre with 3 ram cichlids, 90 litre with 1 female betta & I just set up a 35 litre last week so I'm in need of some inhabitants 😁
🤣
Out of interest what happened to the fahaka you had?
Gone to the fish tank in the sky I'm afraid
Why dont you clean the filters instead of replacing. I'm cheap.
Impossible to get clean
@@AquariumAdventures I'm cheap, I even clean my white cotton
Wow how dirty is our tap water
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is it just me or was that righty loosy
Lefty loosey - righty tighty
