I don't know about the Fire Audio components, they sound like generic Chinese parts. And if you want to save space a Sealed box is best.
That would be a good price if it was new. But not so sure about second hand. Have you tried www.autostyle.co.za yet? They take online orders and...
Have you guys considered Lava rock? Like the bags you get for Koi pond filtration? If I remember correctly it's actually quite cheap.
Maybe try get some more information about the specific species of plant you had in there, they could be showing you that there's a deficiency of...
Seriously people, is it so hard to understand? He wants a low maintenance setup with good water quality. That has obviously been achieved because...
That bio substrate stuff would most likely still make for a pretty good biological media in a canister filter, so don't worry too much about it. I...
I think it has potential, it just needs some greenery and it should fill in nicely. If you need some Java Fern I've got quite a few little plants...
I just stuck a piece of coarse sponge in behind the holes as a first line of filtration. It keeps the fish in the tank and it's easy to clean :)
So you might actually be able to build some nice hardscape into the tank without him playing soccer with it :)
The only issue you might have with introducing more hardscape into the tank is that the Oscar might not approve, and start moving stuff around. In...
You might struggle with the Valis there because it'll grow to your water height. It's better as a background or tank divider plant.
I keep thinking a background of vallis swaying in the filter outlets, and that log covered in a massive Java Fern and surrounded by a few small...
Well going from everything in neon blue to a nice white light definitely looks much better. I'm sure the plants and the fish must be feeling much...
Hmm, that would be delicious on the braai with some garlic and butter! Are there any suitable tankmates for Oscars in a 4ft tank?
With a big tank I'd try to make it intake on one end and outlet on the other so I could create a river type flow and keep various loaches :)
I actually forgot to ask earlier, why don't you just build a classic sump under the tank?
The sump at the rear with two inlets and a central outlet is genius, too bad it'll be a bitch to clean :(
But again, if you read the filter flow rate thread that Zoom linked, you'll make even less compartments...
@Dirk Bellstedt Okay, so after reading all of this I'm still interested to see a photo of your filtration setup. And how do you deal with the...
Okay, so I'm guessing that means your sound install plans are on a medium-term hold?
