Hey guys! Just to address the filter humm noise, thank you all for your tips, but I’ve seen them all on social media too and nothing fixed my filter noise. It’s not air, not the prefilter, not that it’s new (ran it for 9 months, been like this from day 1), it’s not clogged or dirty, the valves are fully open, there’s nothing vibrating against the stand, the filter doesn’t vibrate I even placed it on a mat.. Only thing I did not do is change the impeller, but seeing others on forums having this issue and not fixing it with an impeller change puts me off on ordering one, I cannot find spare parts locally.. so I’m not sure what to do with it, probably going to sell it and use the money to buy a new one, silent canister suggestions appreciated! :) More about the somewhat DIY CO2 system ruclips.net/video/hBjYgdpHuiY/видео.html Purchase link amzn.to/48DjDEf More about the CO2 reactor ruclips.net/video/Hr8xU6z5ZPg/видео.html Purchase link amzn.to/49E6EDI
Tbh i would sell it like you said and just buy another one as it seems faulty. Mine is very silent and some times i can never hear it and wonder if it's even on. i do wonder if it's the fish tank cabinet? what i mean by that is if i have my Oase 250 Thermo slightly off centre in my left door cabinet it will hum and buzz like yours because the floor of the cabinet is slightly hollow underneath. So what i have to do is have the filter right in the middle of the left cabinet floor and the noise stops any few inches off and the buzzing comes back and it drive me nuts.
@@OllyBPlayz Hi, no it's not the cabinet acting like a speaker, I placed it outside on the floor to see if it was vibrating against the bottom at all and it's just as loud on the floor :( also the sound propagates outside through the back of the stand as well, my stand is open on the back for the pipes and the hummm bounces off the wall, so there is a place in the room where it's the loudest haha but even its quietest is so annoying :)))
I absolutely love the look of it, the fish, the arrangement of the plant & with time the carpeting plant will fill the front. About the filter noise, I would suggest putting a car noise insulation on the inner side of the cabinet.
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 no it's not, my brain somehow cannot visualise the details that make the painting realistic :)))) good thing I do really enjoy the biology of plants, so I focus more on that!
The tank looks great. Love how the red stands out. I kept discus for years I got tired of 75% water changes every other day and really is should b everyday. So no need to reshape looks great
Wow! Your beautiful scape is what I have been trying to accomplish - I LOVE how you've mixed the broad leaves with the grass - looks just like a garden. SUbscribed!
That was wonderful to see, I always wanted to have a colorful planted setup like that, and I think I'll do so but on a smaller scale. Thanks for the video and greetings from Peru🙌!!!
Thank you for a very nice video and for showing us your beautiful, wonderfully planted tank! Nowadays I only keep killifish, hence I probably have many more aquariums than you - but they are all a LOT smaller. 🔎🙂
Use Bath toweling to line your filter cabinet to help absorb the sound and stop it from resonating if you want to keep the filter you can start by experimenting by darping the filter with a few towels. I watched a video where a guy tried many different materials to sound isolate a loud pc and strangely enough terry (bath) towling was the most effective as it stopped sound bouncing around the same way carpet does versus a bare room. Also adding rubber feet to the filter to help reduce the filter conducting vibration to the cabinet.
I feel your Discus pain. No matter what I did, including buying spring water with the perfect ph to do water changes, my Discus let me know that "I suck at Discus" by staying at the back of the aquarium. I gave them away and opted for a Rainbow fish community that liked my tap water! They were a joy to care for; colorful, interesting to watch and just satisfying pets. I really like your big beautifully planted and aqua-scaped tank full of small delightful fish!
I'm a planted-tank-guy myself. Mine are all about the scapes & plants - the livestock just enhance the setups. I've had success w/ heaters when I use two smaller ones. They don't have to work as hard then they last longer. Also, some heaters are designed to only regulate temp. based on the room temp. Great tank👍👍
Tank looks good… try shaking and knocking the air out of the filter for about 10 minutes. Also, if you put biomedia around the heater, take that out.. these two things solved my Oasé issues but I had a different series.
The oase filter may just be noisey, idk, I've never had one. But the air purging is probably because your hoses are too long. Every big bend in the tubing, both intake and output, is a place where air bubbles form/get trapped. Then they move on eventually, going into the filter where they get trapped and build up some more, or out into the water column. Shortening the tubes to just as long as they need to be to reach will help far more than you'd think. With the heater, you should consider an inline heater since you have a canister. The problem with heating bigger tanks is getting the heated water to fully circulate around the tank. An inline heated sits on the outflow tube, so freshly heated water gets pushed wherever the outflow goes and as fast as the outflow pushes. You can sort of achieve this by putting your in tank heater right next to the intake pipe of the canister(or any filter). Then the heated water around the heater gets sucked up into the filter and pushed back out with the outflow. It is just a little less efficient. With either method, and a tank this big, you also have to consider the dead spots in flow. Some areas will just be warmer than others. Perhaps your tank is generally warmer than you think, but you just have your thermometer in a dead spot. It is also possible that it is just not a good heater. Idk. But I hope these suggestions help! I'm sad to see the discus go, but your planted tank is beautiful! If you ever want to try a larger fish again, consider angelfish. They aren't as colorful as discus, but have some wonderful patterns. They are way hardier, don't require as high of temps, and get a long with many other fish. Depending on their individual personality. You can keep just one. I had one in a planted community tank for nearly 7 years. The only fish I tried with him that he never liked were swordtails. But he got along with mollies, and those are pretty similar. Idk. They just have very strong personalities.
I have built a housing for my Biomaster 250 in my base cabinet. I use 19mm MDF I covered the inside with foam. No noise at all! I sleep about 9 feet away
Love your tank. Looks incredible. I also love nano fish. They're so impressive in good numbers in a planted tank. I've had Green Rasboras for many years.in fact I think I like Rasboras more than Tetras and Barbs. I do love a Danio too. They're almost indestructible and never stop moving.
In referrence to the heater, have you tried multiple thermometers? I've had so many and i can promise you if you put 3 thermometers in your tank you’ll have 3 different readings. Same with TDS meters. But once you've calibrated you're gear you know where your at. 1 degree or 20ppm difference doesnt change much but I'm wondering how far the heater is out on the oase?
That noise is definitely the air trapped in the filter. If nothing helped to eliminate it, it's a warranty case. Oase filters were designed by German engineers with ease of use in mind. Those filters are quality products and are promoted by many scapers there. So I decided to replace mine with one of those BioMasters. Ease of use brings complexity to construction and potential points of failure. It started leaking and I came back to the filter that I used before. Easy to maintain, hard to break. The simplest canister filter which exists for ages. So, my current filtration now is Eheim Classic 600 filled with Sera Siporax and Sera Prefilter filled with sponges attached to it. But I don't know if it filter keeps nitrite undetectable or the substrate I use.
Nice setup, first time I came across your channel and I'm looking forward to watching more content. Regarding the heater probably there is not enough flow around it and the heat goes straight up and the thermostat switches off prematurely.
I use 2x 300w heaters on a 415L tank 24⁰c stable here in the uk even in winter and I have the heating on about 10 - 15⁰c. Only one is ever on at one time. My cheap SunSun filter is very quiet! 🤣
as far as i know that ramirezi likes it at atleast 25C. They will look pale too at lower temps. 27C they do fine, they still look a bit pale even at 25C. might consider a different dwarf cichlid species when you want lower temps, there are some beautiful Apistogramma that are alike. Your planted tank looks very nice!
Hi, I would not worry about rams at 24 more than I would worry about Discus at pH 8 🤭 however, the 24 deg party last about 2 months per year sadly, rest of the year we’re back in the oven here where I live, slow cooking until well done 🫠 about the only positive of keeping Discus, temps are good with no heater 😂
Nice tank, beautyfull scape. Big thumps up. The Aquael tank is a beautyfull tank, and i can recomend the Aquael filters. I have the ultramax 2000, and this one is so quiet. And I clean the pre filter once every 2 weeks. The filter is running now for 6 months and i did not clean it till this time. 👌🏻
You know, aquael has a special place in my heart, my first ever tank was aquael and all their products ranged from good to awesome at reasonable prices.. I think ultimately it’s what I will go for.. it’s between this and eheim, tetra is super silent too but has some flow issues I find. Eheim is a bit too💰☺️
@@Danny-MOG yes eheim is overpriced, and had its issues. The Aquael tanks are beauty’s but not in the size I wanted. But yes, you said it, the products are very good quality and they have the looks.
my bio master filter was noisey for about 8 weeks or so, now its silent. i think it just takes time to wear in. mines in my living room too and its completely silent
Hi, I have several models depending the size of aquarium and all are silente, however for a aquarium size that you have I suggest the Eheim Pro 4+ 600 it is very good and silente@@Danny-MOG
Hi. Regarding temperature: have you considered moving either the inlet or outflow from the filter to the other side of the tank (if at all possible)? I am under the impression that having both inlet and outflow on the same side creates a warm and a cold zone, because the heat never reaches the other end of the tank. Shame about the noise. I have a Biomaster 250 Thermo on a 125 litre tank, and it's dead silent.
mj aquascaping made a comment in one of his videos about the dennerle soil not releasing much ammonia or nutrients, which is similar to fluval statrum.
That Oase sounds dreadful pull it out check all the seals check everything, contact Oase support. The excessive hum is probably caused by all that air and also why your heater isn’t working well, heating the water. For now where the pipe touch’s just wrap a bit of cloth around the pipe to reduce the hum and get some sanity back. Nice tank 👍
But why no have both? i have a heavily planted aquarium with discus, the tank have been running for a couple of years now without any issues. Just need to select the right plants which can withstand high temperatures.And also having a planted increases water quality in tank, the plants filters the water and discus will be happier.
Hi, that’s my problem right there, ‘plants that withstand high temps’ .. I discovered it’s not enough for me, I talk about it here ruclips.net/video/9tZDjK-6ZYU/видео.htmlsi=PKzrR-Gv7u0dbu4N
2nd comment, I really enjoyed this video. I have 11 aquariums, and 9 are fully planted. I keep my room temperature at 22c. This helps with temperature fluctuations.❤❤
Have you tried placing the fiter on some foam/rubber mat? I used to have an eheim, i had one of the pro ranges which had all the electronics. This from what i can remember was pretty quiet
Hi, yep it is on a mat, sadly the humm comes from the impeller area, not a vibration I can control. I was tempted to buy a new impeller but I’ve become weary of Oase products in general, never a good time for me 😩 sadly another oase review coming soon.. I never learn 🤭
there is air in your filter, it shouldnt be there, press the blue button while the pump is running to purge it out, I have a 240 gallon tank running of 1 850 and a 600, both thermo, water temp stays great. There is far from enough water in your filter and you are probably running the heaters dry which breaks them. You should keep going with getting the air out until you no longer hear water running, it should be quiet as the pipes and filter are all full of water. Also, check to see where the air comes from, I thought I noticed a CO2 reactor in there, if you hook that up so it goes from the reactor to the filter you gonna have a bad time, the reactor should be the last stop before the tank. If the air comes down through your skimmer, the skimmer is not big enough for the filter, either use the oase valves to cut the flow or buy a bigger skimmer. My aquarium is standing in the middle of the living area of the house, if it would have sounded like that I would have switched brands a long time ago.
Well.. no there is no air in the filter, you’ll just have to believe me when I say I shook this thing like a cocktail shaker for months.. I pushed the button even but nothing’s really happening in the way of air purging.. I don’t run a skimmer it’s just the oase standard pipes and the reactor I just installed very recently (on the outflow) and the filter is noisy for the past 9 months.. I really think it’s one of the ‘bad’ ones that skipped quality control or something and the only reason I still use it is because it’s not in the house.. but it will be soon and like you said, it’s getting replaced with a different brand effective immediately.. I hope lol 🤭
Problem with heaters is no matter how many you have them in tank unless they are electronicly connected it will always one start at a time and start heating up water so rest of them will never turn on most of times.Try to get 1 stronger from 150-200w but considering what you now have in tank temps. are not issue.I have Discus tank for 20 years and with 2 heaters 1 main and 1 backup.
this is not how individual heaters work lol... They don't know about each other. They only know the water temperature. If it's lower than the temperature they are set to, they will all turn on.
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 You missed point ,and answered yourself.Ofc they dont know for each other but if they are all set for 24°c ,one of them will turn sooner then other and start heating and temp. will never drop to activate second,i am talking from my experience.Do you have any??
Hi there, Beautiful tank. It’s a massive myth that washing sponges in tank water kills bacteria for tap water to kill it you’d need to soak it for hours even overnight. I also feel your plant load was a massive help to your levels. I look forward to watching it fill in. What was the bag of dirt/sand called I’d like to try some if it’s in Australia As for your filter is a hose vibrating on something? Is there grit in the empellar ? Try so high density foam underneath it. You could also line a box with sound proofing and use box as a cover. I know these things shouldn’t be necessary. Also have you checked if other with this filter have similar issues. Also the purging is normal and meant to occur It really is a beautiful tank. Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Hi, thank you! ☺️ about the tap water, I think so too! We don’t have a great deal of chlorine in the tap water in my country. The sand beneath the soil is called Deponit Mix, it’s a nutrient infused layer from Dennerle, no phosphate and nitrate they say! I believe them 🤭 about the filter, uhhh yeah I tried everything it’s not a vibration I can control, it comes from the impeller and no matter how much I clean it it’s still humming. Did it from day 1. I’ve had quite a few brands of canisters so far, none as loud as this one… none purging like this one either.. I gave in to the marketing 😞
@@Danny-MOG have you tried a new impeller? If you want silence, get a sump. They clean better, they’re quieter and maintenance is easy. The beauty is you can go hi tech with roller filters, co2 reactors, heaters sensors or low tech with sock or sponges the beauty is you can tune them to silent. I’ve used them for big tanks even a small sump above a small tank. Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Ist echt sehr schön geworden dein Aquarium! 👍Viel Glück weiterhin damit! 🍀 Wenn du einen leisen Außenfilter suchst, kann ich dir den Ultramax von Aquael empfehlen! 😉
Hi, considering their swimming habits I’d say no, but anything looks good in a big tank 🤭 I like how the rams look better in this tank, more room for activities lol
Seems you have a circulation problem , add a wavemaker in your tank to help your heater to adequately mix the heated water in the display tank . For that tank size , you will need multiple canister filter to help clean 5he water , 1 canister filter is not gonna cut it , low water movement . Hope this helps !
Hi, the Biomaster 850 creates a continuous ‘tornado’ in my tank, any more and fish will be pushed out lol I’m good there 🤭 if there’s any redeeming quality that filter has, it’s the flow.. but now thinking about it.. maybe the tornado is not everywhere eaven 🤔 will check it out!
Absolutely! But for a big tank I’d go for a CO2 reactor rather than a diffuser, I see no CO2 loss and towards the end of the photoperiod my plants look like they are ‘boiling’, thousands of oxygen bubbles everywhere! it’s incredible! Makes the diy co2 last much longer due to a low bps count!
bonjour ,le filtre pas normal il a de l air regard au canne tu a un reglage mini et maxi on dirais que a l aspiration et au mini , le mien fait aucun bruit
It’s on maximum :) I have researched it endlessly and tried every ‘fix’ on social media, even run it without a prefilter and there are people with sub par biomasters and people with ok ones. Not even an impeller replacement fixed it for some. It did this noise from day one, which was on August last year. As someone on a forum put it, it’s down to quality control perhaps, mine is one of the sub par ones.. shame, but it’s the 4th oase product that is sub par for the price for me, my experience is already bad with everything I tried from them..
"no Discus" in the thumbnail, "goodbye to Discus" in the title, I was expecting you to talk at least a little bit about the Discus. It's important to give the viewers what they came for. Otherwise it's a great looking aquarium, I like seeing many small fish in a big tank.
Hi, plants do absorb some ammonia, they don’t perform miracles thought. You get a rich soil like ada amazonia and no amount of plants or prayers will stop that ammonia test from reaching never before seen shades of dark green 🤭🤭🤭

I heard once the plants are fully established, it becomes your tank’s natural filter.
A nice porous substrate and a decent flow take part in this play.
Tbh i would sell it like you said and just buy another one as it seems faulty.

Nothing nicer than a large planted tank with a big school of small fish. So calming. Also, Eheim canisters are very quiet.
I am seriously considering one! Eheim has always done well for me, tetra too but tetra has flow issues 😬
except where they really belong in the ocean

Looks beautiful I think you did an amazing job love the selection of plants the colors stand out
Beautiful aquarium and I love your scape!
That aquarium is absolutely stunning.
One word my friend AWESOME work on that scape
Stunning scape, love it! Maybe I missed it, but what species of Cryptocoryne is the blue/purple ish one in the middle?
Good for you! ❤ I love it. This is de way to keep a tropical aquarium, with lots of plants...wonderful. 👍
The planted aquarium tank is awesome thanks for sharing.
I've heard this about oase filters and I'm glad you mentioned this because I was going to get one. I think I will go with fluval
I absolutely love the look of it, the fish, the arrangement of the plant & with time the carpeting plant will fill the front.
About the filter noise, I would suggest putting a car noise insulation on the inner side of the cabinet.
You said you're not a scaper yet the placement of the rocks and wood look awesome. Great tank and scape. Subscribed ❤
kinda empty but yeah. Aquascaping isn't easy
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 no it's not, my brain somehow cannot visualise the details that make the painting realistic :)))) good thing I do really enjoy the biology of plants, so I focus more on that!

Hi, I haven’t considered that! Thanks for the tip will check it out! 🧡
You might need more water flow to push the water past the heater so the water further away from the heater will warm up too.
looks very very nice.. congrats
Hi Dani, about the noisy filter, try a cascade brand one, is the one I have and is very quiet I have it on my living room/dinner area
😍❤ the color of the plants 😍❤

Look into the Fluval canister filters, very quite.
Amazing. You earned a new subscriber :)
I have the Sicce Eko Space 200 and its completely silent, running in the same tank but the 200l optiset. Hope this helps.
I don’t use many canister filters, but for the living room I went with Eheim filters and they are dead quiet.
Nice set up. Try inkbird heater. It will be almost invisible against your black background.
Tank is beautiful
So how do keep your tank so clean do you have to do water changes and clean your tank?

Great scape. The Oasis filter are usually with some noise, I change to Eheim and they are quite, so it is a thought for you.
Hi, I am seriously considering Eheim too! which Eheim model did you find is quiet?
Hi, I have several models depending the size of aquarium and all are silente, however for a aquarium size that you have I suggest the Eheim Pro 4+ 600 it is very good and silente@@Danny-MOG
Thanks so much for the tips! 🤗
Hi. Regarding temperature: have you considered moving either the inlet or outflow from the filter to the other side of the tank (if at all possible)?
I am under the impression that having both inlet and outflow on the same side creates a warm and a cold zone, because the heat never reaches the other end of the tank.
Shame about the noise. I have a Biomaster 250 Thermo on a 125 litre tank, and it's dead silent.
Hi, I haven’t considered that! Thanks for the tip will check it out! 🧡
mj aquascaping made a comment in one of his videos about the dennerle soil not releasing much ammonia or nutrients, which is similar to fluval statrum.
That Oase sounds dreadful pull it out check all the seals check everything, contact Oase support. The excessive hum is probably caused by all that air and also why your heater isn’t working well, heating the water. For now where the pipe touch’s just wrap a bit of cloth around the pipe to reduce the hum and get some sanity back. Nice tank 👍
But why no have both? i have a heavily planted aquarium with discus, the tank have been running for a couple of years now without any issues. Just need to select the right plants which can withstand high temperatures.And also having a planted increases water quality in tank, the plants filters the water and discus will be happier.
Hi, that’s my problem right there, ‘plants that withstand high temps’ .. I discovered it’s not enough for me, I talk about it here ruclips.net/video/9tZDjK-6ZYU/видео.htmlsi=PKzrR-Gv7u0dbu4N
2nd comment, I really enjoyed this video. I have 11 aquariums, and 9 are fully planted. I keep my room temperature at 22c. This helps with temperature fluctuations.❤❤
The motor on my BioMaster 850 is whisper quiet. I do get air noise inside the canister, but less so than I used to.
Wouldn't call mine quiet, it's like in the video actually, but no air noise or trickle noises.
Have you tried placing the fiter on some foam/rubber mat? I used to have an eheim, i had one of the pro ranges which had all the electronics. This from what i can remember was pretty quiet
Hi, yep it is on a mat, sadly the humm comes from the impeller area, not a vibration I can control. I was tempted to buy a new impeller but I’ve become weary of Oase products in general, never a good time for me 😩 sadly another oase review coming soon.. I never learn 🤭
Try eheim professional 5e, can fit so much media in, they are expensive though. Not sure how it compares to oase though.
there is air in your filter, it shouldnt be there, press the blue button while the pump is running to purge it out, I have a 240 gallon tank running of 1 850 and a 600, both thermo, water temp stays great. There is far from enough water in your filter and you are probably running the heaters dry which breaks them. You should keep going with getting the air out until you no longer hear water running, it should be quiet as the pipes and filter are all full of water.
Also, check to see where the air comes from, I thought I noticed a CO2 reactor in there, if you hook that up so it goes from the reactor to the filter you gonna have a bad time, the reactor should be the last stop before the tank.
If the air comes down through your skimmer, the skimmer is not big enough for the filter, either use the oase valves to cut the flow or buy a bigger skimmer.
My aquarium is standing in the middle of the living area of the house, if it would have sounded like that I would have switched brands a long time ago.
Well.. no there is no air in the filter, you’ll just have to believe me when I say I shook this thing like a cocktail shaker for months.. I pushed the button even but nothing’s really happening in the way of air purging.. I don’t run a skimmer it’s just the oase standard pipes and the reactor I just installed very recently (on the outflow) and the filter is noisy for the past 9 months.. I really think it’s one of the ‘bad’ ones that skipped quality control or something and the only reason I still use it is because it’s not in the house.. but it will be soon and like you said, it’s getting replaced with a different brand effective immediately.. I hope lol 🤭
Problem with heaters is no matter how many you have them in tank unless they are electronicly connected it will always one start at a time and start heating up water so rest of them will never turn on most of times.Try to get 1 stronger from 150-200w but considering what you now have in tank temps. are not issue.I have Discus tank for 20 years and with 2 heaters 1 main and 1 backup.
this is not how individual heaters work lol... They don't know about each other. They only know the water temperature. If it's lower than the temperature they are set to, they will all turn on.
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 You missed point ,and answered yourself.Ofc they dont know for each other but if they are all set for 24°c ,one of them will turn sooner then other and start heating and temp. will never drop to activate second,i am talking from my experience.Do you have any??
The guppies should stay. They look like bursts of sunshine. Very nice.
Always use an internal filter . No noise and no mess .
… takes too much space from activities tho 😬🤭
@@Danny-MOG Yes . The space is taken up . I just like a simple life . Love your Aquarium. Good job.
What tank u got
Hi there,
Beautiful tank. It’s a massive myth that washing sponges in tank water kills bacteria for tap water to kill it you’d need to soak it for hours even overnight. I also feel your plant load was a massive help to your levels.
I look forward to watching it fill in.
What was the bag of dirt/sand called I’d like to try some if it’s in Australia
As for your filter is a hose vibrating on something? Is there grit in the empellar ? Try so high density foam underneath it. You could also line a box with sound proofing and use box as a cover. I know these things shouldn’t be necessary. Also have you checked if other with this filter have similar issues. Also the purging is normal and meant to occur
It really is a beautiful tank.
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Hi, thank you! ☺️ about the tap water, I think so too! We don’t have a great deal of chlorine in the tap water in my country. The sand beneath the soil is called Deponit Mix, it’s a nutrient infused layer from Dennerle, no phosphate and nitrate they say! I believe them 🤭 about the filter, uhhh yeah I tried everything it’s not a vibration I can control, it comes from the impeller and no matter how much I clean it it’s still humming. Did it from day 1. I’ve had quite a few brands of canisters so far, none as loud as this one… none purging like this one either.. I gave in to the marketing 😞
@@Danny-MOG have you tried a new impeller? If you want silence, get a sump. They clean better, they’re quieter and maintenance is easy. The beauty is you can go hi tech with roller filters, co2 reactors, heaters sensors or low tech with sock or sponges the beauty is you can tune them to silent. I’ve used them for big tanks even a small sump above a small tank.
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
how do you deal with algae??
Ist echt sehr schön geworden dein Aquarium! 👍Viel Glück weiterhin damit! 🍀
Wenn du einen leisen Außenfilter suchst, kann ich dir den Ultramax von Aquael empfehlen! 😉
Hi, I was eyeing that one too but it looks a bit too much, for my tank 🤔 what size tank are you using it on?
@@Danny-MOG Der Ultramax 1000 würde doch reichen für dein Becken! 😉
Love ❤️ it
I have always thought discus belonged in massive 8’ tanks or bigger. They are such a big fish that they look sad in smaller tanks.
Hi, considering their swimming habits I’d say no, but anything looks good in a big tank 🤭 I like how the rams look better in this tank, more room for activities lol
Seems you have a circulation problem , add a wavemaker in your tank to help your heater to adequately mix the heated water in the display tank .
For that tank size , you will need multiple canister filter to help clean 5he water , 1 canister filter is not gonna cut it , low water movement .
Hope this helps !
Hi, the Biomaster 850 creates a continuous ‘tornado’ in my tank, any more and fish will be pushed out lol I’m good there 🤭 if there’s any redeeming quality that filter has, it’s the flow.. but now thinking about it.. maybe the tornado is not everywhere eaven 🤔 will check it out!
The 850 is more than enough for a tank that size.
Is there adequate water flow around your heater?
Hi, the heater is in the filter, I’m thinking yes? I don’t know really.. you’d think Oase know what they’re doing but I’m starting to doubt that 😫
"small lava rock in your area" is exactly the ad I want to see ngl
😂😂😂😂 I loled
more than half left on co2 thats great. how many bps are u currently at?
Hi, I’m at 3 per second :)
@@Danny-MOG wow thats great😱 also would you recommend it for a dutch scape??
Absolutely! But for a big tank I’d go for a CO2 reactor rather than a diffuser, I see no CO2 loss and towards the end of the photoperiod my plants look like they are ‘boiling’, thousands of oxygen bubbles everywhere! it’s incredible! Makes the diy co2 last much longer due to a low bps count!
@@Danny-MOG thanks. Your videos helped a lot.
What filter do you use please
Hi, I use a Biomaster 850 thermo, but I wouldn’t recommend it, I just bought a different one. Will make a final review soon :)
My Biomaster is whisper quiet and the built in heater is more than adequate. There is something wrong with yours.
bonjour ,le filtre pas normal il a de l air regard au canne tu a un reglage mini et maxi on dirais que a l aspiration et au mini , le mien fait aucun bruit
It’s on maximum :) I have researched it endlessly and tried every ‘fix’ on social media, even run it without a prefilter and there are people with sub par biomasters and people with ok ones. Not even an impeller replacement fixed it for some. It did this noise from day one, which was on August last year. As someone on a forum put it, it’s down to quality control perhaps, mine is one of the sub par ones.. shame, but it’s the 4th oase product that is sub par for the price for me, my experience is already bad with everything I tried from them..
Why did you get rid of your discus?
Find out in next week’s video 🤭
Could you put sound foam in the cabinet to dampen the sound?
Hi, I’d rather not, bit of a fire hazard.. maybe 😬 gives me the heebie jeebies
Wha! You do gish aquariums, too?! 😮🤩
Wouldnt keep rams below 25c
I would! Indeed I also have for many many years, prolongs their life span even, a joy to behold 😁
Eheim profesional 5 is very quiet
The husband has to go so...lol. Impeller is vibrating, just remove it and clean it and replace. This works for me. Beautiful aquascape.
Very nice. Check out my gigantic XXL 1300L Aquascape if you want 😊
Give the filter a good shake, sounds like it's got air trapped in it.
Lovely scape by the way 😊
Hi, thanks! Sadly no amount of shaking can solve the mechanical hummm of the impeller😩
I don’t know what is more gorgeous, the tank are you.
what accent do you have? this is a beautiful tank
Hi, I’m Romanian :)
I cant hear my bio master even if i stick my ear up against it.
You’re so lucky 😫
"no Discus" in the thumbnail, "goodbye to Discus" in the title, I was expecting you to talk at least a little bit about the Discus. It's important to give the viewers what they came for. Otherwise it's a great looking aquarium, I like seeing many small fish in a big tank.
Your plants eat ammonia
Hi, plants do absorb some ammonia, they don’t perform miracles thought. You get a rich soil like ada amazonia and no amount of plants or prayers will stop that ammonia test from reaching never before seen shades of dark green 🤭🤭🤭
Hola . Eres Latina?
Uhmmm.. I’m latin, but not sure it’s the same as latina 🤔
Latina- Spanish.@@Danny-MOG
Aaah nop 🤭 same but different 😂
