Sunkenmetal’s ADA Stream Tank Journal Updated 7/1/2012

From my exp. the bulk of the sand would move already which would be the main concern IMO but yes, there will be more movement.

This is true until I move the loclines around lol then it moves the sand again.

Master craftsmanship. Good job Nick. Have to agree with Q: presidential

LOL your funny I made a few mistakes some things I would like to change but that can wait.

[sunkenmetal]

That filter and all that filter floss and purigen is the bomb. Woke up the lights came on and the water is crystal clear... I love purigen...

[eklikewhoa]

si, it's the good white stuff!

LOL

It is used on all my tanks...

[Totenkampf]

lol ok I really like to put holes in tanks...

you probably like jumping out of perfectly good airplanes too

[Totenkampf]

they quick cleanup of suspended particles is more likely the work of the floss than the purigen isnt it?

Nah I was an Machinist/Welder in the Air Force I fixed them not jump out. I got some pretty cool rides in aircraft...

Most likely a combination of both...

Doors, Driftwood, Rocks, and Fish

Just finished up Putting the doors back on and adjusted them. I replaced the black hose going from the 1262 pump to the tank with some left over Eheim hose from my filter.

Then I added the ADA driftwood I got from Quoc. I had it soaking in an established tank. Then I put in some petrified wood from another established tank. The rocks are temporary till I get some river rocks.

I also put some substrat pro bio media from my 2217s in the 2262. Then I figured what the hell Ill catch some of my fuglier micro boraras in the tank to see how they handle the flow. They seem to be getting use to the cooler water and the flow. I might throw some dwarf shrimp in there later on. Since they are going to be Rhinogobius food lol.

The Scape is just temporary till I find some rocks so if its Boo Boo looking it isn't permanent.

Pictures....
