  1. Hey all, joined here a little while ago, but finally putting in my first post! Started a Fluval Flora about a year ago, current stock includes: neon tetras, orange phantom tetras, oto, SAE, rainbow furcata flower shrimp, ghost shrimp and a couple Amanos. Overstock? Probably! But no issues so far (knock on wood!) Pics to follow once I figure how to post them!
  2. Hi all, Just thought I would show a couple pictures of my solution for lighting the full area of the Fluval Edge 6g. My first thought was to upgrade the original light (which has been done) but that doesn't solve the problem of lighting the edges (ironic given the name of the tank). So here is my solution! This light bar is bonded pieces of Aluminum acting as a heat sink for high power LEDs, the bar should be giving out between 750 - 850 lumens additonal light to where it is needed most in this type of tank. These are the highest power LEDs I could source to fit inside this type of heat sink, they are capped, bonded and soldered into the frame. I'll be monitoring the tanks temperatures closely as I have a good handle on what they are without the extra light bar. On first impressions the whites of my CRS really pop out making them standout in lot of plant life. The edges of the tank are fully illuminated and I'll be keeping an eye on the plant growth! If anyone is interested I am considering making a lower profile version (depending on the temps) so PM if you think you might like one, I bought all the tools and seems a shame only to build one with all the gear.
  3. hey, so I go a fluval fx5 yesterday from another member. however Its one stock return line is too short to reach my tank top and the intake line is an aftermarket idea that i dont really know where to go with. I was looking to replacement for them online and started to wonder. In the basement of a house I have been working in, I saw a sump pump with the line still above the ground. seems to be the right size. Its been hose clamped to the pump, the same as the line on my filter. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on using something like this to replace the lines instead of waiting for delivery to use this filter. My tank is under filtered right now and I would really like to get this going asap.
  4. Hey folks. I just picked up a new fluval ebi for an invert tank and I imagine there are plenty of other owners in this community forum. Please feel free to post your thoughts, reviews, custom changes, and suggestions here. I'd love to see/hear how other people have been enjoying their ebi's and would benefit from advice from seasons vets. First thought/suggestion - I was a little annoyed the filter didn't come with the carbon insert to begin with. I found them for $4 at Riverfront though, so not that pricey. Phew! Also, I heard that loosely stuffing the first slot of the filter with angel hair helps speed up the filtration process. Thoughts? Cheers.
  5. Hey everyone, pretty unsatisfied with the output from the single spray on my Fluval 405. I've seen kits talked about on the internet but never anywhere to buy one (spray bar). Anyone have a decently easy DIY spray bar or know of somewhere to buy one?
