Hi everyone, you can subscribe to my channel. I’m starting cycling, I’m doing cool videos.
ai pessoal se inscreva-se no meu canal estou começando no ciclismo, estou fazendo vídeos legais https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6IuzuZY1h3DiVWmrdoc0Ow?
DITTO – GREAT VID – I USE THE PYTHON -!!!! YOU’;’LL NEVER GO WITHOIT IT AGAIN !!!! NO MORE BUCKETS !!!! I HAVE A 135 GALLON – NO WAY I WOULD DO BUCKETS – COMPLETE WATER CHANGE IN 30 minutes or less….!!!!!
steve great video I use all the above except the lighting.
good tips
I can second the beamswork light. I have a 48″on a 75 gallon and my low light plants do well in it. Can’t beat it for that price and I have had mine for a year now.
Great video Steve. I’ve just finished my big bottle of Prime and bag am using Safe. 1kg should last me years. I’d add bulk foam to the list. Way cheaper than buying proprietary foams as replacements in HOBs, internal and canister filters. Just cut to the size and shape required.
I agree with all that was said. you really should also include the lack of UL rating on sunsun canisters for US buyers though. the fact that it has a uv light makes it more of a possible fire hazard AND with a lack of UL rating (in the unfortunate event) insurance companies will deny your claim. with that said, I have 3 of them in the US and like them very much. I just hope they don’t fail
I have 4 of the 5, ill take it! Great vid Steve.
How are those lights for plants?
thanks for sharing I’m buying led beams again thank you so much
do you have the beamswork led’s in your show tank?
awesome video Steve, I use 5 out of 5 of these products.
love Beamswork lights, I have 3.
SunSun canisters are def a sleeper. You wouldn’t expect them to be as good as they are for the prices all the differ models sell for.
I would have the same top five no kidding great job
Keep in mind that active biological media produces a lot of bacterial detritus. I have measured this and was amazed at the amount.
Out of the topic but something touched you on 2:40
great video Steve. I actually use all 5 of these products. I’m really surprised when someone has over 75 gallons of water and uses prime. I think people just start with prime and like it, and don’t care to look into switching
Great video Steve….all great values!
I strongly disagree with the uv light not doing much on the SunSun filter. I have a aquaponic system in the garden with 2000 litres (500 gallons) and the water was constantly green (3 inch/90 mm visibility) until I put this filter on it. The difference was amazing, crystal clear water to the bottom of the tanks. You can also turn the light on and off as needed. After 6 months running it I now turn it on for a week and off for about 2 weeks and have not had to service it yet. I also have 3 aquael unimax 700’s in the house for my display tanks and regret not just buying these. $550 vs $150 I wish I had bought all sun sun filters.
Seachem Safe is a pure God send! I “roughly” measure my necessary amount by shaking a bit in the cap and tossing it in my tanks as I fill them with water. I used to rely on precise measurements per gallon of water and such. Well, after losing my beloved red-tailed black shark (Epalzeorhynchos Bicolor) and jumbo Platy to Miami-Dade municipal water, I now only prefer MY WAY & haven’t suffered a loss since. Thanks for giving us more details in the description.
I like my sun sun better than my marine land c-series canister
Great Video and I agree with all the products you’ve shown. I have the SunSun 404B just a few minor changes then the 304B but both do the same job. Have three and there going on 3 years and still as quiet as the day I bought them. Getting my first Cichlid tank after my new flooring is put in this July. The Fish I’m researching all say subdued lighting. Since you use those lights on your tanks I’ll assume that they’re fine for Cichlids. Thanks Great stuff.
Lava rock as bio-media and pool filter sand as substrate are also good ways to save money in the hobby.
I have used all your suggestions except for the beamswork leds. For any future lighting needs I now use clip on utility light fixtures and GE Led Bright Stick bulbs. They may not look the best but if the bulbs ever go out I just have to replace them instead of the whole fixture. The main reason I use them now is cost and efficiency! Keep up the smooth videos!
man awesome light find I havent come across I use shop lights in my 30 tanks right now because of the cheapness but this is about the same after bulb purchased with shop lights. definitely going to be looking into ordering some of these. Thanks!
Can I replace the activated carbon for polyfil?
I agree all of these are great cost effective products.
I moved up in the world from canister filter’s to hang on filter’s I hate dealing with the canister’s.
Steve- any links to the quick disconnects on your python?
Nice job Steve, I agree and wish I had seen your Beamsworks recommendation before wasting money on an Aquaneat light that corroded and stopped working in under 90 days. I have two Beamsworks arriving by Tuesday.
On the poly fil, good stuff but it was falling apart on me during canister maintenance and getting all over the sponges which cut myself and like to reuse. So just recently I switched to Pinky Floss. We’ll see how that works out.
Thanks for the tips!
Great video Steve! I use all those products except for the light. After checking out the prices on the lights. I will buy those light for sure.
I have very soft water , could I use the python to do water changes on my Mbuna tank and just dose prime , Epsom and sodium bicarbonate? Cheers
the Beamswork LED light is very low lighting. I bought it and was very dim. So don’t buy
I have one of the filters and have had it for about 6 years and it is still going strong.
steve…I just subscribed to your channel, what model of sunsun filter can I use on my 30 gallon aquarium…..thanks
Thank you I bought all 5 :)… can’t beat this
That polyfil is NO JOKE! Legit stuff! I use a tiny strip on my Green Killing machine UV filter.
Another great video Steve. I recently changed my filter from sun sun 404B to 2 Quietflow 75. The sun sun is good but run at 55w with 525gph while the two Quietflow runs at 28w with 900 Gph. I don’t use the cartridge on the HOB just bagged lava rocks and poly-fil. BTW do you have a Facebook group?
Just received my light from Topdogsellers. It took 2 days came packed well and I have to say I love it. I love how the ends stay in place with the screws. Great light just what I was looking for. I also mentioned your name. I will be getting a few more.
Thanks
