Great tank! That's a crazy diffuser! What kind is it?

sadistic-otaku · 01-08-2009, 12:46 AM

It's a no-name diffuser from Hong Kong. It's kind of fun to watch the bubbles spiral up. I've had it for a couple months now, and there have been no problems.

You can find it on ebay too. They're called "Spio" diffusers.

More pictures!
Added: 3 otocinclus, 2 amano shrimp

I removed some of the blyxa cause it was looking kind of messy.

Nice tank, i like it.

just wondering, what regulator are you using on your pressurized co2?

Is that a paintball co2 tank?

mott · 01-11-2009, 04:35 AM

I just can't tell you how much I love that hardscape.... Just perfect!

How do you like the 501?

sadistic-otaku · 01-11-2009, 04:39 AM

I'm using a milwaukee regulator + paintball on/off valve + paintball co2 tank. The co2 tank has lasted me at least 3 months so far, and there's still a lot in it.

The 501 works well, and I've never had any troubles with it before. I also have a small bag of purigen in there for super-clear water.

For some reason your blyxa just doesn't look like blyxa to me. It has a spin to it. Maybe it's just your water current. Maybe it's just new to the tank and hasn't begun growing yet... .....hmmmm.....

sadistic-otaku · 01-11-2009, 05:08 AM

There's actually some gross algae on the dying blyxa leaves. Maybe that's why? (It looks pretty nasty up close)

monkeyruler90 · 01-11-2009, 05:59 AM

wow, i love this tank
i definitely second the idea of adding some dwarf puffers. they're amazing little creatures.
and i love your lily pipes, they look great.

btw, random question, what happened to your leg? in the first pic you can see the walking stick on the right? lol

sadistic-otaku · 01-11-2009, 06:05 AM

Oh, the crutch is my roommate's. Her knee hurt for a day, so she borrowed it from someone.. LOL

Dwarf puffers are really cute. Do you guys think I could squeeze in 2 of em, or just one? HMMMmm..

ddtran46 · 01-11-2009, 06:12 AM

what kind of lily pipes are those? Your tank looks nice

sadistic-otaku · 01-11-2009, 06:18 AM

They're actually knockoff pipes from Hong Kong. I got them as a set, however the inflow was way too long. They sold a lot of curved glass pipes there, so I bought one and taped up an intake pipe thing to it. The inflow is slightly smaller than the outflow.. so I actually had to burn the tube a bit and shove the pipe in.

OhNo123 · 01-11-2009, 03:44 PM

hey, can you show me or link me what a paintball on/off valve is? I want to use something like your co2 setup.

Thanks.

Po0gs · 01-11-2009, 04:38 PM

I am unfamiliar with how many gallons this tank is, so if I knew that I may be able to steer you in a direction with dwarf puffers. The problem is when you get 2 males that reach sexual maturity they are VERY aggressive.

How much did all of it cost and where'd you buy it?
