hey guys - what's up welcome to a new video
in this video as you can see behind me I'm here at Sebastian his place and we're filming the
I dont know, kind of update for you
You've been asking how is the whole hardware working? What is in the bottom part of the tank?
Like in this double bottom, how is the flow working?
What filter is he using? The Light, the Co2 basically all the hardware of this aquarium
and it's gonna be probably another video I will show you how the plants have developed
and now without any further ado let's go over to Sebastian
and check out all the hardware part
Okay guys, by now you know how it works I will go behind the camera and ask Sebastian
the questions about the tank. By the way, all the questions that you have submitted
within the community tab and on my Instagram channel and I guess
I got a couple from Facebook as well
Here we have from a German brand AquaGrow: DIY LED bars
you can put them together with the controller
and then you have up to six channels to change the color you like
it's customizable, you can choose from different colors or RGB LED bars
and then with the controller, you can adjust them
the wiring you have to do by your own
so you have the cables running out from the LED bars
to the controller and you have to match them in the controller on the right direction
and then plugging in power supply and it works
its really easy,
but some guy with "two left hands" I don't know... but the most common guys can handle this
This is a custom build tank from Aquarienbau Emmel.
We have here a fake bottom and here's the real bottom
and between there are some support with glass
so that the water can run through it
on one side we have a strong pump from seawater aquaristics
who sucks in one side the water and pump it through all the double bottom
on the other side where the water comes out
so this generates
circular laminar flow, like in the nature.
You have a river from one side to the other side the flow is coming
and here is the same. So it's really natural.
On the two sides
I've tried on my own, to make some support for the fish.
That the fish didn't start suck into the pump on the bottom layer
but the flow was not good, it was really terrible.
And then I contacted Panta Rhei,
because this whole project is do-it-yourself
with a lot of help from the aquarium builder
and Panta Rhei was so nice to print for me
the original protection for each side
for that there's enough flow coming through this, but it's small enough to hold on the fish
and give the fish safety that they didn't go to the pump
the tank is 150 centimeters long we have a depth of 45 centimeters
and the overall size from bottom to the high are 35 centimeters
and the double fake bottom is round about 10 centimeters, 11 centimeters where it sits
so we have only 21 centimeters from the bottom to the waterline
and I think it's really natural
total volume 236 liters
236 and I guess about 1/3 you can deduct, because of the double bottom
scaping purpose, yeah of course maybe 180/170 liters
the marine pump should get 20,000 liters per hour when it runs on 100%
now we have 40%
because of the fish are new and not every plant is really sitting strong on the hardscape
Okay, so this is round about 100 times turnover of the aquarium!
Why doesn't it look like everything is flushed away and the sand is not flushed away?!
The hardscape is glued together
and I think of the height of the water line
so you can see it here you have in the upper part of the water
you have more strength from the flow
and if you go lower it's less strength
it sucks it on the whole dimension the whole depth of the tank, it sucks the water on
and then pump it through the double bottom and raise out on the other side
and on the whole depth of the aquarium, not only a small spot like in most cases of a pump
on the whole aquarium, it rises up and then it's make some small waves, curves
and on the whole side, it pushes the whole volume of the tank.
So this is the reason, why not everything is flushed away.
It's possible to raise the mesh on both sides,
but in most cases
if there's a little bit dirt, something else,
power up the pump, and the dirt comes back up again on the other side
and there's a canister filter also sitting, who sucks up the dirt
and it's sitting in the normal filter
and then power off the pump,
make some water change like everything, clean the window, cut the plants.
So guys now we know how the whole structure works, if not - check out the Panta Rhei video.
I will link it up here, it also explains it once again
Guys, now it's time to dive deeper into the cabinet
and see the real hardware underneath the aquarium
basically what is there? Co2, canister filter?
yeah, Co2, canister filter, LED controller, pump controller
okay let's check it out
so here's the first side, magic light, it's from IKEA
and this is a external filter
Tetra EX 1200, I choose it because of the huge volume to put 3 or 4
parts with Sera Siporax, good structure for bacteria, some sponge, filter wool
and the last is Seachem Purigen. It's perfect for the tannins from the driftwood
here in this side, this is for the air pump,
this is for the other aquariums for my daughters
let's move on to the other side
here we have pressurized dual stage co2, 2 kg bottle,
here we can turn off the co2 at night
last chamber
so, we have here the LED controller from -AquaGrow
and you see it, it's the cords coming from the LED bars and then you have to plug in at the right direction
so you can use every channel of the controller
and here on the left side, it's for the pump controller
how strong, maybe you want to feed, or something else, you can make some short break
this was the first try of the mesh, to protect the pump and the fish,
but you see, there's too much material here, so the flow wasn't good
move on to the DIY cabinet I build it completely on my own.
it's a strong wooden structure as a frame. It's a little bit like a German "Fachwerk" house
a lot of the wood is coming from the left to the right, from the front to the back
to support the whole structure
on the outside we have some nice wood, painted
the inside and the outside really nice
and this is a special slide
so it's really heavy support, for big stones hardscape, or when you do maintenance
I used round about 400 screws to support it, a lot of wooden glue
it's really strong for much much bigger aquarium but...
I'm German - Safety's first! 😃👍
this is it guys, I hope we covered all of your questions
if we didn't - please apologize, make use of the comment section down below
I will check, Sebastian might check as well
and if necessary, we will just make another Q&A video, just for you
to make sure we get all your questions answered 😉
