    I don't think it matters much, I know there was the media added from other tanks. The fine pad is in there too but I'm not sure how you'd maintain something like this. It's definitely a beautiful water feature and parameters should be ok given the plant load. Just a question for the next one I think, how would you service something like this easily.

    Nice build Lizzie! The one suggestion that I would make is that in the long run your pump is likely to clog. The pump is not really very accessible in your build. I always like to have the pump easily accessible and I like to cover the intake with a large cell foam block to keep shrimp and fish and snails from getting stuck to the pump intake.
    Additionally I really like the look of a Ficus tree growing out of the rocks. Ficus twigs will easily root and produce a nice accent.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    You're you're stocking is perfect just fish shrimp and snails. I love the build . With that pump somehow DIY filter or add floss around the filter. close off the corner and put the smallest sponge filter and the power head on low speed.

      Any small aquarium pump will work fine! I've done similar set ups many, get the cheapest one on Amazon! Just be sure to adjust the flow according to your set up!

    Wow! Would really like to know what pump you used since many would be overpowered in such a small tank but this is really cool.
    This could be the first in a series dedicated to smaller tanks with aquascapes anyone could replicate!

    • @sovrappensiero1
      @sovrappensiero1 Před 2 lety

      I hope Lizzie will comment cause I’d also like to know. But I know Sicce makes a few tiny pumps, like the MiMouse and the Micra.

    • @MissChelle
      @MissChelle Před 2 lety

      Me too. I think she said she added pre cycled media, but where?

    • @peterstainer5841
      @peterstainer5841 Před 2 lety

      The waterfall essentially is the filtration. Aerobic filtration. This is how nature filters its water mostly as well. Sometimes the most simple set up is the best! If you really wanted something more, you could wrap the pump in the same filter material she used to place the hard scape on, but eventually you will need to replace it as it will get clogged

  • @i.m.Q.2
    @i.m.Q.2 Před rokem

    Those water parameters? :-s No disrespect intended here but ive got to wonder about the source water. This looks like readings from tap water in which there's a certain amount of run off from industrial fertilizers. Ive seen worse, but it doesn't take much of a bioload at all to bump that into problematic territory.
    25ppm nitrate and that nitrite? Touch of phosphate and with no bioliad at all, you might see an algal bloom. Ive seen it first hand.

    It looks amazing, but I am not a huge fan of how you voice your video. It sounds kinda fake and like you aren't excited about your work. I love the video, I just suggest making it feel a little more natural and not so robotic in voiceover. Thank you for this incredible design! I want to try it.
