Hey Jurijs, great video! We had a similar issue in the past with a dentist installation, too. Tried everything, and none of the solutions really worked. The bacterial bloom was insane and quickly clogged the filters and skimmers between the maintenance sessions. We even created a larger DIY skimmer just for this purpose. I spent some time digging through the internet back then and read a case where they changed the disinfectant to something else non-alcohol-based). I'm unsure if this is possible and may need more study. But the display tank we had was covered with panels, used vents to keep out the air pollution issue and even in that case, we had serious problems with it. - Viktor
Cheers Viktor, that’s what I found out too. I have another dentist tank, luckily the other one is build into the wall, is fully covered and has lids inside. But even this one suffers from rapid biofilm buildup inside the filter. Cleaning the Biomaster prefilter and biweekly, sometimes weekly intervals.
Hi Jurijs, 2 options: 1. just give them spray bottle with peroxide and tell them to spray few times on the surface during the day or when they sanitize everything else 🙂 2. add peroxide to the automatic air refresher dispanser instead of parfume and mount somehow on that dry chamber 🙃
How about a glass lid? That's your first line of defense. I would design it so it fits over the edges, like some boxes with a lid. A little loose, so some air can still flow under it.
Will try, the problem is the dry chamber in the middle and filter pipes sticking out of it. I would need multiple part glass lid to fully cover the entire surface
Bro your my favorite acquascaper...after whatching your videos I change my acquarium eheh A month ago I received my ScaperLine 90, I set it up Iwagumi style... This is my setup: -Oase ScaperLine90. -Biomaster² 600 filter (4l Matrix and Purigen inside). -Co2 AQPET. -CEAB light (WRGB Pro). -ARKA myAQUA 1900 Osmosis system. Hardcape: -10 Kg dragon stone. -21 Kg Oase ScaperSoil. Drystart method with 20 cups of eleocharis mini. As for the remineralization of the osmotic water I decided to use ShrimpMineral GH/KH+. For fertilization 2HR AQUARIST APT 1 the first months to switch to APT 3 later... Ty again for all your videos 💪👍
a laser cut high quality acrylic sheets with some holes and 2 surface skimmers with fine micron water polishing wool at both end of the tank would help! its much quicker and easy to clean skimmer!
Skimmers will clog in 48 hours.. I have filter outflow pointed towards surface so surface film is not an issue. It’s what builds up inside the filter within 2/3 weeks and on all surfaces inside the aquarium in literally no time
@@JurijsJutjajevs oh okay! I think a fully covered canopy with ventilation will give some relief! The root cause here is the sanitiser so obviously that should be controlled to the max and if extensive maintenance of canister is the issue. I would go with sump filtration and automatic filter rolls like the ones we use in marine systems
Nice scape and love the rocks but I don't understand all the filter pipes hanging out from the center column? Perhaps I've missed something but it completely detracts from all the hard work that was put into the project???
How tall does the Crypt grow eventually? I would like Pentazona Barbs in there. Pretty sure i recommended them for other scapes as well. They school together well and stay in the bottom half of the aquarium.
@JurijsJutjajevs i have Crypt Balansea in my Juwel Rio 350. But my wie doesnt like how the leaves grow to the top and float over the surface. I dont mind it. The fish love hanging out underneath them. But i would consider it if i find a smaller Crypt. Echinodorus is eaten alive by my otocinclus, clown pleco and ancistrus. So thats not an option :)
unfassbar schönes becken und so simpel! Ich wäre ja großer fan von Fadenfischen in dem Becken... Evtl Mondscheinfadenfische aber für Kinder sind Mosaikfadenfiische oder gelbe Fadenfische sicherlich spannender
Get a sheet of Perspex or some cheap plastic and cut it to fit as a lid? I’d also try planting something tall in front of your filter as it takes away from how lovely the tank is.
13:26 Fish suggestions: Cherry shrimps, pygmy cory's, blue purple emperor tetra's. Sanitize problem: a custom-made lid. Not an expert, but common sense told me: maybe a surface skimmer?
thats exactly how UV's work, but my main problem is the extreme bacteria inside the filter that almost completely blocking the flow and requires frequent filter cleaning
@@JurijsJutjajevs wouldn’t the surface skimmer in the outlet from aquario be a good solution? it doesn’t have a sponge in it it just mix the surface film with the flow
Surface film is not a big issue it’s the build up of slime inside the filter. And yes I’ve used the aquario skimmer previously on this setup, it works great
@@JurijsJutjajevs yes, I understand...I was thinking it was a surface film that then got into the water column and then into the filter. I sure hope you find a solution that works well!
@JurijsJutjajevs Hi, what is the reason to add minerals back to the RO water? What was the TDS of the RO water you had added initially, prior to adding the minerals? TIA
With carpeting plants 1 cup = 10x10cm if you want a dense carpet relatively quickly. With other plants it's similar but depends on plant quantity you get per cup/pot and future size of the plant. ie a single big Echinododus will take 15x15 or 20x20 ground space per plant
@Azooscott • I have been in awe of Lake Superior ever since I was just old enough to make sense of the everything around the lake and more importantly all the living creatures that have been there for Millions of years. 1.1 Billion years ago it was created from Glaciers , Volcanos and Continental Rifts . 🩵💙
Maybe it’s more work than it’s worth but replacing the superjet with an overflow box in the centre column and a simple sump with just a roller mat and the media would probably cut down on the maintenance. I know you have a little bit of experience with sump’s and in the marine side of the hobby this would be considered relatively low tech. Just an idea. Beautiful layout by the way and I think just adding more cardinals is the perfect fish choice!
Another suggestion. Stop using canister filter or any filter at all and you won’t have anything to clean. The aquarium has a lot of surfaces right now anyway with all the plants, leaves, soil, stones, glass, everything is full of beneficial bacteria. Also your plant choices don’t produce many leaf debris so they won’t disintegrate inside your aquarium to produce nitrates that fast. Just use wave makers, one for surface agitation on the right looking upwards to break the oil layer, and one for the water column to circulate water looking downwards on the left. Or, you can buy those smaller inner filters and place them on that black column so you just clean those easier and faster. Also rebalance your dosages and your livestock to a minimum if that helps with the new “setup”. After 25 years of having aquariums and having tried all aquascape styles I realized that you can reach the same results by just not using canister filters on a well established aquarium but have water movement 24/7 by small well hidden wave makers or smaller inner filters.
This is why I love real aquascapers... to stop the sanitizer, a regular planted tank hobbyist would think, A LID.. but a true aquascaper rather come up with a solution that doesn't involve an ugly lid on their art. A lid would be the last resort.
Would it help to lay paper towels on water surface to remove biofilm before it gets in the water column? I don't know how it all works so I'm asking you, a professional. 🤍

It looks stunning in its simplicity 👏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you! 😊
Great video as always! Thanks for your advice Juris it really helped me get my channel figured out.
You welcome Jeff, glad you joined the game
Looks stunning, such a lush forest of crypts!
Thanks, I wish I could just focus on plant growth - the crypts would look even more beautiful
What a great final result! The crypts filled in nicely! 😊
thanks friend, I hope you are well?
@@JurijsJutjajevs Things are going well, though it would be nice if the sun came out a bit more often 🤣 It's been a very grey December!
Yeah, love sunny winter days
Beautiful carpet and crypts! Some honey gouramis would look great in there. Someone else said emperor tetras and that would be terrific as well.
As others have mentioned a lid would help. Do you use purigen? It might help bind to some of the contaminants.
thats actually something I could try! thanks so much
@@JurijsJutjajevs love the videos, good luck!
You could use an egg crate lid with clear Perspex on the tank to try and prevent the biofilm issue
How about a glass lid? That's your first line of defense. I would design it so it fits over the edges, like some boxes with a lid. A little loose, so some air can still flow under it.
Will try, the problem is the dry chamber in the middle and filter pipes sticking out of it. I would need multiple part glass lid to fully cover the entire surface
A glass cutter company can provide you with a lid that includes a cut out for the dry chamber. Can use small stainless steel clips to suspend it.
Under regular conditions skimmers would help, in this case they would last no longer than 2 days and it’s impossible to service them in this interval
If you install lids, maybe you could use an air pump. Mounted remotely outside building or in a cabinet to feed fresh air in?
getting air from outside will be close to impossible, but lids should help reduce amount of aerosols landing on water

Custom glass top cover should fix it?
The moment you rubbed the rock on your face reminded me to like the video 🤣💜
If that helps, I'll do it more often
Nice scape and love the rocks but I don't understand all the filter pipes hanging out from the center column? Perhaps I've missed something but it completely detracts from all the hard work that was put into the project???
Good point! As I'm currently fighting the biofilm issue the filter in and outflow are out of control. I have tidy things up
How tall does the Crypt grow eventually?
I would like Pentazona Barbs in there.
Pretty sure i recommended them for other scapes as well.
They school together well and stay in the bottom half of the aquarium.
According to books 30-40cm but I’m sure if the aquarium is tall enough it can grow taller

So thats not an option :)
Well you could build a custom lid like a Tiki hut or plants on a lid

maybe you can add fish like irian terina and pseudomugil gertrude...
The creativity you shows in your aquascaping is fabulous as well as in editing 😂❤

Thanks for watching

Hiding the dry chamber with plants won’t work, the space is too narrow. Maybe in the future I will move it to the wall peninsula style
13:26 Fish suggestions: Cherry shrimps, pygmy cory's, blue purple emperor tetra's.
Sanitize problem: a custom-made lid. Not an expert, but common sense told me: maybe a surface skimmer?
Glass cover as first barrier will help, great fish suggestions too
What is the light system u are using??
Would a uv sterilizer kill the bacteria in the water? …..while maintaining the beneficial bacteria in the filter?
thats exactly how UV's work, but my main problem is the extreme bacteria inside the filter that almost completely blocking the flow and requires frequent filter cleaning
Wow!
would adding surface skimmers help at all?
The tiny sponge would be full of slime in 2 days and stop working. I’m keeping water level in a way the filter outflow is moving the surface
@@JurijsJutjajevs ok, that makes sense.

@JurijsJutjajevs Hi, what is the reason to add minerals back to the RO water? What was the TDS of the RO water you had added initially, prior to adding the minerals? TIA
RO has no Minerals in it. RO - TDS is probably around 10 and I need it to be 120-150 for the Shrimps. I only add GH and magnesium, no KH
@@JurijsJutjajevs got it thanks. 10 TDS is quite low for a RO water, close to what a RO/DI unit would give.
Hey Jurijs, beginner here, how do you gauge how much plants are required for your scape, for example this tank in the video. Thank you!
With carpeting plants 1 cup = 10x10cm if you want a dense carpet relatively quickly. With other plants it's similar but depends on plant quantity you get per cup/pot and future size of the plant. ie a single big Echinododus will take 15x15 or 20x20 ground space per plant

2 pairs of German Blue rams would look amazing with those Schooling fishes
I agree, the problem is apistogramas require dedicated feeding and this is not possible with this client project
Rummy nose tetras ftw. Especially in such a minimalist scape. Dunno? 30-50?
Schön wieder neues von Dir zu sehen. Wie läufts mit dem neuen Studio ?
Es läuft 🙃
I have stood on the edge of lake superior, surrounded by likely the same rocks! I gathered a few and set up a CPD scape as a tribute!

And if you're putting lids on the tank
Add a lid.
i would run a surface skimmer 24 hours a day. biofilm cannot colonise if water surface is constantly changed.
Add some mix of rainbow fish, and the kids will love the colour of big rainbow fish
Big rainbows always win 🏆
Der Bart steht dir gut
Glass mm?
Yes put a plaxyglass top ;)
Waited six for edit the video. need patience.
i plant into water only :D after dark start ;)
With public aquariums dark start is sometimes difficult, but whenever it is - it’s the best way to go
This is why I love real aquascapers... to stop the sanitizer, a regular planted tank hobbyist would think, A LID.. but a true aquascaper rather come up with a solution that doesn't involve an ugly lid on their art. A lid would be the last resort.
Why not just add a polycarbonate or glass lid. Would solve you're problem easily and also reduce evaporation and fish jumping (if any)

Класс!!!
Cute and sexy guy - and a nice aquarium😁
Shame about the big black box in the middle, kind of ruins the aesthetics.
I agree, maybe I’ll be able to change this in the future
Needs a hood, unfortunately. The environment dictates😢
I’ll start with Glass Cover, a hood requires new lights or it has to go all the way to the ceiling..
