i trashed the idea of low level water and sticks and other stuff lol.
some people have seen pics of it but here is how it looks now.

More plants. Might need some fluorite or soil substrate....I have been told macroalgae is great for brackish cause they will reduce nitrates. I never got a chance to try and support them cause my Green.Spotted.Puffer died. I know it is essential for saltwater tanks and most do a chamber with macroalgae underneath with a shop light. If you could get some macroalgae going on it would look cool and benefit the ecosystem.

But, I don't know too much about that. My brackish didn't last longer than 3 months, best of luck.

heres an update on my tank. lol i think my light is good enough, the shots here are taking with lights off in the room.

tank:


new stick setup:

(the water was being really annoying, this was the only way i could make it less noisy lol.)

more wood! or at least put the teepee formation in the middle maybe. cause it looks like all the focus is in the corner. and i was say definitely more powerful lighting. But fantastic start!

More light and filtration couldn't hurt. Nice start. Archer fish are cool.

you are correct.. City Pets will have the extensions as needed.

[muuunkeeyy]

the box contains only 1 for the aquaclear 20. i know the 110s and maybe others have an extra. i guess they didnt thining something made for a 10-20 needed to go that deep lol.

[Zulaab]

You can goto City Pets they have the extension tubes for the aquaclear 20's there in stock.. All you get is just another tube like the one you have and you add the second one to the end of it. This extents it. If you got the Aquaclear 20 new it should have come with two of them in the packaging. Just add the second one to the end of the first one.

You sure the filter didn't come with an extension tube for the intake? I know AquaClear makes them...

[muuunkeeyy]

hmms where can i find extension pipes for this filter. they dont sell a piece that can go in the middle lol. what other materials can i use for this? is the pump from an aquaclear20 strong enough to pull water from down there? o.o.

[aggrocichlidfan]

the pipe tht extendes the part tht sucks up everything im sure you could find on to extend it

[muuunkeeyy]

i would definiately do that, but the filter thing doesnt go down that low lol. i wonder if i get something to extend it, maybe i would be able to have the filter lower. hmms? input anyone?

[aggrocichlidfan]

really i think you cold drop the water level more and then put a big piece of slate and angle it just right to were the water slides downt the rock almost and add wood on left side

but hey thats just my .2 cents
