It's a nice tank for the money ,cheaper than the fluvial and juwel alternative,only thing is you need your own filtration but you got optiwhite glass instead float glass
Loving Ur set up. I've just ordered a new tank today, the AquaEl 200. I'm doing a planted aquarium, very heavily planted. I've also ordered a cannister filter capable of filtering 2000l and hour. Do you think this filter is to big for a 200l tank? How big is your tank and what size filter do you use?
Thanks man , maybe position the output a little up to the surface to disturb the strength of the out or a spray bar would be ok .I used a fluval 306 which seems perfect for a 240 liter tank ,I used the oase filter which was weak .which canister filter you getting? Sunsun, aqueal ?
Great vid and lovely looking set up,been looking at these aquael tanks just a quick question regarding the lack of transverse support,have you noticed any glass bowing at all? Also are the feet adjustable for levelling up the cabinet? Any info greatly appreciated, cheers
Thanks fo watching ,No never had any bowing ,was concerned when first buying it because the tank hangs over the cabinet about quarter inch so it's flush with the doors but was fine and yeah it has adjustable feet ,when I first bought it you could smell the silicone,so you know it hasn't been sitting about and it was newly built
Dude do me a favour and let them know where you saw it as I've tried to get sponsorship for being the only UK person advertising there product at the time and I got ignored and there was a few people that bought the tank off the back of my vids ,so a mention would be really appreciated man .
Hi there I've just purchased the aquael opti 240 and put both lights on a timer and I'm just gunna use 1 with the bright light and 1 at the mid day light and see how it goes running the lights on timers from 10am - 6pm
Hi ,love that tank ,yeah that'll work ,the lights are very bright on these tanks so gotta watch out for nutrient control because of algae as the lights love growing it .I moved to the aquasky because it had ramp up and down and different spectrums but you have to have two because it doesn't cover all of the tank .I'd also look to see if anyone has a par meter or rent one to get the spread and par bang on because once I set my lighting up properly I didn't have to touch it and everything grew brilliantly and you get a idea where to put what plants
Hello mate, can't stop looking at this tank! Just about to set mine up, and want the same look. Do you mind sharing what plants you have in there, and where you got them from? I'd like to pop over to the same place. Cheers
Really nice tank mate if you have your bits and pieces,would say the way the lights work for me is a bit of a pain since I want them on a timer but they are very bright and will grow plant and algae lol.Id be careful of duration for these lights or it will definitely grow algae or have one on for longer ,gonna have to have a play .I switched to the Fluvals because it was just easier and I like automation,plus we had a par meter at hand wich I'd definitely recommend.
Look for aquael socket link duo. It's the answer for your problems with aquel light bulbs. You can connect two to this baby and have total app control over them.
Hi :-) really love what you've done. I've bought the same tank, it's delivered, and I'd like to copy some of your stocking and aquascape. Love your substrate, what is it? I'd like to buy the same!

Nice set up buddy. I was thinking on getting a Juwel Rio 180 but now i've seen this i've changed my mind.
It's a nice tank for the money ,cheaper than the fluvial and juwel alternative,only thing is you need your own filtration but you got optiwhite glass instead float glass
So beautiful!
Thanks man X

Hi mate,nice scape by the way!👌can I ask how you fitted the aquasky under the light system?
Hello mate,thanks for watching,I'll do a short to show you but it's just resting on the two bars that the original light attach to under the hood
Iv just purchased this tank in black it should be here this week I'm excited:) would you say the opti glass is much better than normal glass
Yeah definitely,when you have it you don't want the other type ,the fish colours look better because it's less dim
@@tigertropics5386 did you put a aquarium mat underneath your tank? If yes do you think I need one
Hi ,not on this tank as it's a floating base
@@tigertropics5386 thanks..... i got my tank filled up and starting to cycle it looks great
Wicked man enjoy it man
