In my opinion, a heater is unnecessary if it's not very cold in the apartment, especially for spring and summer. As for the filter, it would be better to use a foam filter on the same Arowana; you can choose one based on your volume.
Ryan
Is it worth ordering one like this from the inexpensive options?
Alejandro
I have one like that, it works on a compressor, if that suits you, then it can be done.

At the dawn of my venture, this was my first penny. Pros: it's easy to work with and set up. It handled everything in a 250L aquarium. Cons: it spoils the appearance in the aquarium, needs a diffuser change once a month, and only a lime one. Now I use it in a frag tank.
Ross
I ordered a pen. Can you tell me where in Kyiv it's best to buy live rock and sand? What should I pay attention to? How much do I need? Can I combine live rock (L.R.) and dry rock (D.R.)?

Is technical distilled water suitable?

I work with food distillate, everything is great)

The skimmer didn't fit, I struggled with the overflow. In short, today I drilled a hole in the aquarium. The result: a 34-liter glass container at the bottom. The skimmer and heater are in it. What else can or should be placed there?
Katherine
I would recommend the following filtration system: and also the fact that it has a surface skimmer, with the following filling, as in this topic: but it is not worth using Seachem Denitrate as a filler, since it is the same as Seachem Matrix and is more effective.

On the topic - mini pen in wet foam mode + ser + more J.K. (live rocks) and S.R.K. (dry reef rocks)

I'm tired of carrying water. Please advise me on which reverse osmosis system to choose? So that the price-quality ratio is optimal. Where is the best place to buy in Kyiv?
Michael
It depends on what purposes you need osmosis for; if it's just for water preparation, three cartridges and an osmosis system will be enough. However, if you plan to use it for cooking and drinking, you will need one with a pre-filter and a mineralizer, and you might also consider getting one with a tank. Prices, accordingly, vary upwards.

So, my aquarium is almost six months old. I think it's time to redo the 200-liter planted tank. But before that, I need to solve three problems.
1. Aiptasia - whether I plant or not, it keeps appearing.
2. Algae in the form of transparent balls - I have no idea what to do with them.
3. Small particles, scattered. On the sand, on the rocks. I don't know what they are and how to deal with them.
You can see them in the photo.
I would like to resolve these issues before moving to the 200L tank.
Thank you.

These are planarians. The struggle involves wrasses and nudibranchs, which can be removed with a hose.

1. There are a lot of methods for dealing with Aiptasia, so there's no point in writing about it.
2. The round algae is Valonia, and there are fish that eat it. If you decide to remove it from the rocks, make sure not to let it burst in the aquarium; it should be taken out whole to prevent its spores from spreading further in the tank.
3. If these little things are moving around in a pile, as mentioned, they are planarians. He wrote about how to deal with them; you can also introduce a mandarin fish, as they eat them too.

I acquired all three of these wonders out of inexperience with the first stones in the center of aquaristics. No one said anything. They were visible, but I didn't pay attention.
I understand that it will be easier to boil these stones and use them as dry reef rocks as a base.
I liked the stones in the store on Minskaya. I hadn't seen anything like that on them, but now they are infected too.
It's a pity, they are not cheap.

Can I have a link to an effective method? If it's not too much trouble.
The little things are not moving.

No one is immune to them, whether you are experienced or not. Experienced ones look out and take measures before grounding on a reef, but even then there is no 100% guarantee to get rid of them. You are right, I clean with a hose before the replacement, as the wrasse seems to be a bit lazy or spoiled with me. They move quite quickly in the water column, swimming by bending, and they also crawl, but slowly.
