hahaha just finish experementing 2 Eheim Classic 2217 with parallel connection

all running A OK will monitor for this few days with update...

now me 4ft aquarium got only 1 inlet and 1 outlet...

not really... just cannot afford 2 lily pipe hahahaha

problem is I have 1 set of lily pipe 17mm if mix with eheim ori pipe it defeat the purpose of getting the lily pipe... so poor man style use a Y connector to connect 2 canister filter and 1 lily pipe output / same with input so far so good

I have read the forum from various place... no problem only problem if you connect serial this is where when 1 canister overload the impeller... if parallel connection both have equal water running through so it is OK... parallel is the preferred choice even other forum they do it for more than 5 years no issue reported...

also I have monitor both output and see any stress from the unit so far seems like the canister is OK no weird sound what so ever...

thats why I'm monitoring the performance closely any sign of problem will abandon this project wakakaka

bring me also.... I want some male... hahaha

Female Malayan shrimp has fat belly and have a white line (like a back bone) on the back male has no white line and are smaller and body more curve and sexy

maybee... charcoal may have some chemical it absorb and re-release it back to the water... immediate remove the charcoal do 50% water change and observe if all go well then it is the charcoal if not your fish hate you hehe

Here is the 2 canister link in parallel
Eheim 2217 x 2



Also WTF is this white fur sticking to my plant and rock any idea to ID the type of algae??

not sure on different canister filter though but my setup is this 2 canister filter is kinda similar except 1 is old and 1 is new...

regarding the algae... yep I add fert then this become maybee reduce brighty K and Growth...

now OK already...

MOSS

Ballast issue....

2ft can get eheim 2213... but eheim is the most expensive in canister laaa but can last a lifetime

The best is ADA soil other soil break up quite early and become mud the second best will be Borneo wild but the price is the same +/- RM10 like so...

3ft 3 bag consider little try my 4ft I take 7BAG!!! huhu damn expensive/..

spring cutter is cun but not for big aquarium suitable for 2ft like so to 3ft...

wave cutter better but comfortable up to 3ft bigger tank a little tired to cut.. hehehe just experience

Not to say anything.... but there is no RM or cost stated... so just leave it laaaa......

also I bet it is a good topic of discussion.... I be neutral....

Lets not Do a sale thread here just keep it as discussion will do.... everyone cool?

Lets just move on with it... keep it as discussion will do... hahaha

Usually I only start with 8hrs... (provided you have fast growing plant to supress algae)

I can get away with brown algae though it seems to come in no matter what I do

kedai ikan (expecially the uncle type) will tell U on 24hrs so they can sell Anti Algae to U hahaha
