Yep! I used the small soft brush to make it to go to the net...

Well, ceoliet is rather new in Europe too, but the idea is the same. It's poreus material from the lava stones. They say it clean all the nitrits and nitrates off.
I'll definetely try it.

I'll do it! Thanks, Diana! Have you any experience how it works? Do you think that filterballs could work better than ceoliet?

Hello guys,

I'm working with the design of my river tank (120x60x40) and I'd like to share an idea about the filtration.

I'm going to instaal the rock river background. Beautiful indeed, but so have you at least 4-5 cm empty free space behind the background. It's not reccomenden to put in the ...

Well, I had to remove my background completely to catch Beaufortisa... Now it's back, but I had the whole day of unexpectable work...

Hallo Jim,

Thanks a lot, i think it's good idea to try!

This silly fish makes me crazy, I've lost it for a day or more and thought that it is dead... Couldn't find it though on the bottom. Luckily, it's alive and quite active.

I'll try to make it come back with the light and write here my report.

Hallo guys,

It's a very beautiful tank (despite the fact that's not the suitable place for hillstream ...

Hallo Farid en Francois

Thank you guys, it's great to listen to you! I'm so bad with such a technical things but I'm not bad in aquadesign, so, if you need me to help just let me know (it will cost you nothing!:)))

Well, I still thinking that to start I'll begin with the good old classical Martin ...

Francois, I've take a look on the pumps you've mentioned... Looks great! Wave simulation, extra-low voltage... Could you tell me a bit more about it? May be I also can use it in my river tank.

Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot! I greatly appreciate that you put attention on the topic of such a beginner:) Well, I'm not a beginner in the aquaristic but with the hillstream loaches.

It's a great pleasure for me to have an opportunity to say it personally: your manifold design is just a tremendous ...

I would like use also this type of filter in place of sponge filter:

What are you thinking? It provides more biological filtration and the size is almost the same (but the price is higher indeed).

I am a girl with two ...

Hello everybody,

I'm sooo happy that I've found such a great source about the loaches online!

I would like to make river tank for my beaufortia's. I live in the Netherlands and it's not so easy to buy Hagen pomps here. So I prefer to use Eheim pomps.
