Here are some pictures from setting up the hardscape, as well as a close up of the plants

And here's some info!


Tank - mr aqua 12g long The back of the tank has been painted with plastidip.

Filter - Eheim 2215

Heater - Hydor 200w inline heater

Light - Current USA Satellite LED+. Have it dimmed to ~60% RGB/White on a memory setting.

Light stand - This off amazon which I had to bend a bit since it's narrower than the Satellite.

Pipes - Chinese lily pipes off ebay. Going to be replacing them with these stainless steel ones


----------------

Sand - Carib sea sand

Gravel substrate - Seachem Flourite

Rocks - Seiryu Stone I bought a few packs and have a good amount extra, just to use interesting pieces. Took a chisel to one rock to get smaller parts to work with.

Wood - 4 Pieces of small / medium spiderwood from my LFS. My LFS had a good selection and they let me configure some pieces to see how they'd work together.

-----------------

Plants:

  • Anubias Nana Petite
  • Cryptocoryne Parva
  • Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green
  • Java Fern Sp. Narrow
  • Anubias Nana Thick Leaf
  • Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red
  • Staurogyne Repens

    -----------------
    No fauna yet but I plan on moving my RCS over, and getting some micro crabs and possibly another type of shrimp!

Ahh I see. If you have a canister filter than I would recommend these if you dont want the heater in your tank. I am using one now and I see no issues with it.

EDIT: Heater link Not sure of what wattage you'd need.

I use the temperature controller that you linked with one of these Hydor in-line heaters.

So I actually posted this as a thread about 20 minutes ago but it was removed without telling me why... Maybe it fits better here anyway...

So I'm about to set up the laser in the garage - after drilling the hole for the venting I'm hoping to have it up and tested this weekend. And then I thought of something....

I'm going to have a glass tube filled with water in an unheated garage... There's a server-rack in the corner, and it's not likely to get below freezing in there, but it's possible. I really don't want the water freezing in the tube.

I have a CW-5000 chiller sitting in the box waiting to be installed. There doesn't appear to be any protection against freezing built into it either, so I'm wondering what the options are:

  • Antifreeze. This seems to be problematic. According to 'lasergods' (really?) the conductivity is an issue, and RV antifreeze - which has the lowest conductivity - is prone to "excessive" bacterial growth. I've seen tig welder coolant suggested as a low-conductivity alternative, but that seems to be corrosive to some things, and I'm not sure if it would be a problem for the cooling system loop components.

  • Warming the water. The tank of water is contained within the CW5000, so I doubt that's an option. If I get an inline heater, I'd still have to pump it through the system, and I'm not sure if the CW5000 would allow that (depends on which type of pump it uses itself)

  • Draining the tube/chiller at the end of every session. That doesn't seem like a great plan.

  • Warming the garage up. I guess I could put a space heater in there, but I'm not overflowing with enthusiasm for this idea either. Those things have been known to go on fire, and we do go on vacation in the winter...

    All this assumes there's a temperature-monitoring system that can control an external pump/heater, but aquarium monitors have that down pat, and some temp. monitors can control relays like that too.

    So, in a plea to the wisdom of crowds... What do y'all do ? :)

Just a quick tip, if you want to hide the fact you have a heater, get an inline one. I picked up the Hydor 200w inline heater and it's been fantastic, I just cut my return hose and added it right in the middle, I did make sure to ensure it is completely vertical and not on an angle as I read that can lead to bubbles in the heater and cause it to be damaged.

u/orbsofmoonlight · 1 pointr/Aquariums

Can someone help clarify something for me? I feel like I'm completely missing something obvious...

I have a shiny, new Ehiem 250 canister filter. I would like to get an inline heater for it, but can't figure out if the line I have will fit. The Ehiem has a 12/16 hose--the hydor heater I want makes 1/2 or 5/8in options. Will one of those fit? I feel like thousands of people before me have figured this out, but those measurements just don't line up for me.
