ah... there is the explanation... i'm using pressurized.

I just recieved some Purple Bamboo from a generous member that also included some Green Rotala "needle leaf" too! It prompted me to remove all of the Rotala Colorata and replace it with this new Rotala, as I still have some colorata at home if I want to throw it back in. Also the Erios have rooted themselves nicely and I now expect them to start growing like crazy (or as crazy as any Eriocaulion can that is.

)

I broke both my toms filters I hate those things. but luckily I was able to repair them using some larger tubing and a hose clamp. The same part broke on all 3 of them...

They also leak if you knock them over, and are hard to do maintanence on.

Never had a problem with my zoomeds though.

Im a fan. I just got it yesterday so I hope it will display even more of its glory when it is acclimated to my tank.

I never had any issues with mine that I didnt cause. It was quiet, diffused co2 well and kept the water cleat. I will say that after a few weeks of filtering it did slow down substantially though.

The little tubing attachment hold down post broke off all 3 of mine. And the stupid flow indicator would get crud in it and clog up the filter. Without the flow indicator and without the hold down post the filters both flow ALOT better now. I fixed them both the same way by putting some larger diameter tubing over the outside of the place where the hold down post goes. The are so fragile I had a 3rd one shipped to my house come already broken! I will never buy one again.

My zoomeds on the other hand has been running flawlessly for years and does not leak when I tip it over while running like my tom's canisters do. Also theres no real way to get inside the motor impeller of the toms for cleaning. IMO they are junk and the zoomeds is worth the extra cash. When operating however they are both about the same, and the toms has a little nicer hardware (plastic pipes).

I need to get a new 3 gallon tank because my magnafloat scratched my acrylic tank REALLY bad. I never found out the cause but something got inbetween the pads and I could not figure it out. I think I'm done with acrylic tanks.

I have an Eclipse System 12 that I keep my CRS in. I like it alot, its very simpe and easy to maintain. Something I feel is important when keping CRS.

I LOVE Purple Bamboo! How's the tank going?

**clwatkins10** · 09-28-2008, 03:24 AM

Nothing exciting really. I took out my erios and purple bamboo and put them in my larger home tank. Right now im thinking about turning the whole unoccupied space into a MM jungle, I like that look. Im also on the lookout for some nano sized color. There is too much green in the tank now and it needs to be livened up. Suggestions are appreciated.

**clwatkins10** · 10-16-2008, 12:19 AM

Hairgrass? Downoi?

**bsmith782** · 10-16-2008, 12:21 AM
