I have a STL for dosing holders I've been dying to try out... maybe I make you my beta tester.

What's an stl?

 

[Nate Chalk]

That's an interesting footprint too. Can't speak to the durso drain.

Edit: the 1.5 would have about 200 gph at 30 inches up. That's many.

I use a Oxydator A with 3 catalyst and 12% to my 80 Gallon tank. However - this tank have been run with an oxidator for 6 years and I run it rather hard. Normal may be 12 % and 1 or 2 catalyst. In this case - I need to replace the solution every 10 - 15 day. With 3 catalyst and 12 % - every 5-8 day. In your case - 3 Oxydator A or one oxydator W would probably do the work

Lasse - I have a 350G DT with a really bad Dino problem. I’m told that an Oxydator helps significantly with dinos. Have you ever had a dino problem? Also, are you aware if there is an Oxydator for my size tank? Thanks.

What is the story on your tank parameters? Age, picture?

I just got rid of dinos twice in a row. So far I'm 3 weeks clean

Nope - not as I know

Oxydator W may fit your tank.

Try the shrimp tank or Aquarium Oxygenator Neither have it in the stock list but maybe can help you with information or fix it for you. I live in Sweden. There is one Canadian site too - but I can+t find it for the moment

Quick video of the current tank status.

Considering adding another power head somewhere. In a top or bottom corner.



The return varios 6/8 only has 2 speeds I think the controller is malfunctioning. New controller is $100. Meh

no video..I have to mp40s on the left side of my tank bottom, they push everything to the right. I have 15 pounds of sand in back far right corner for wrasse, sand snails ..and I guess good place for pods to grow and hide. Mandarin loves the area. 300 is bare bottom except for that area and where a few rock foundations touch the bottom to support my elevated rock ledges...

The video didnt work? I just clicked on desktop and it worked.. hmm maybe i need to upload to youtube?

Right im thinking at a bottom would only help flow some.

 

[1ocean]

yes barebottom you can push flow . I like the Ecotech mps cause you can set it to randomize flow. I have mine on this setting. They both work great and I love the fact that the alternate flow volume ...

 

[1ocean]

yes I tried the video again, It is black but shows .28 sec long...

 

[Nate Chalk]

NO YOUTUBE.
