I said goodbye to Discus fish and made my biggest planted aquarium yet! 

Hey guys! Just to address the filter humm noise, thank you all for your tips, but I’ve seen them all on social media too and nothing fixed my filter noise. It’s not air, not the prefilter, not that it’s new (ran it for 9 months, been like this from day 1), it’s not clogged or dirty, the valves are fully open, there’s nothing vibrating against the stand, the filter doesn’t vibrate I even placed it on a mat.. Only thing I did not do is change the impeller, but seeing others on forums having this issue and not fixing it with an impeller change puts me off on ordering one, I cannot find spare parts locally.. so I’m not sure what to do with it, probably going to sell it and use the money to buy a new one, silent canister suggestions appreciated! :) More about the somewhat DIY CO2 system ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hBjYgdpHuiY.html Purchase link amzn.to/48DjDEf More about the CO2 reactor ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hr8xU6z5ZPg.html Purchase link amzn.to/49E6EDI

Nothing nicer than a large planted tank with a big school of small fish. So calming. Also, Eheim canisters are very quiet.

Looks beautiful I think you did an amazing job love the selection of plants the colors stand out

Beautiful aquarium and I love your scape!

That aquarium is absolutely stunning.

The tank looks great. Love how the red stands out. I kept discus for years I got tired of 75% water changes every other day and really is should b everyday. So no need to reshape looks great

How beautiful is that tank! Love the planting, and love your fish choice... sometimes, less is more 😍

I absolutely love the look of it, the fish, the arrangement of the plant & with time the carpeting plant will fill the front. About the filter noise, I would suggest putting a car noise insulation on the inner side of the cabinet.

Good for you! ❤ I love it. This is de way to keep a tropical aquarium, with lots of plants...wonderful. 👍

One word my friend AWESOME work on that scape

I use 2x 300w heaters on a 415L tank 24⁰c stable here in the uk even in winter and I have the heating on about 10 - 15⁰c. Only one is ever on at one time. My cheap SunSun filter is very quiet! 🤣

I'm a planted-tank-guy myself. Mine are all about the scapes & plants - the livestock just enhance the setups. I've had success w/ heaters when I use two smaller ones. They don't have to work as hard then they last longer. Also, some heaters are designed to only regulate temp. based on the room temp. Great tank👍👍

I have built a housing for my Biomaster 250 in my base cabinet. I use 19mm MDF I covered the inside with foam. No noise at all! I sleep about 9 feet away

I've heard this about oase filters and I'm glad you mentioned this because I was going to get one. I think I will go with fluval

I feel your Discus pain. No matter what I did, including buying spring water with the perfect ph to do water changes, my Discus let me know that "I suck at Discus" by staying at the back of the aquarium. I gave them away and opted for a Rainbow fish community that liked my tap water! They were a joy to care for; colorful, interesting to watch and just satisfying pets. I really like your big beautifully planted and aqua-scaped tank full of small delightful fish!

Use Bath toweling to line your filter cabinet to help absorb the sound and stop it from resonating if you want to keep the filter you can start by experimenting by darping the filter with a few towels. I watched a video where a guy tried many different materials to sound isolate a loud pc and strangely enough terry (bath) towling was the most effective as it stopped sound bouncing around the same way carpet does versus a bare room. Also adding rubber feet to the filter to help reduce the filter conducting vibration to the cabinet.

You said you're not a scaper yet the placement of the rocks and wood look awesome. Great tank and scape. Subscribed ❤

You might need more water flow to push the water past the heater so the water further away from the heater will warm up too.

That noise is definitely the air trapped in the filter. If nothing helped to eliminate it, it's a warranty case. Oase filters were designed by German engineers with ease of use in mind. Those filters are quality products and are promoted by many scapers there. So I decided to replace mine with one of those BioMasters. Ease of use brings complexity to construction and potential points of failure. It started leaking and I came back to the filter that I used before. Easy to maintain, hard to break. The simplest canister filter which exists for ages. So, my current filtration now is Eheim Classic 600 filled with Sera Siporax and Sera Prefilter filled with sponges attached to it. But I don't know if it filter keeps nitrite undetectable or the substrate I use.

Wow! Your beautiful scape is what I have been trying to accomplish - I LOVE how you've mixed the broad leaves with the grass - looks just like a garden. SUbscribed!

The planted aquarium tank is awesome thanks for sharing.

That was wonderful to see, I always wanted to have a colorful planted setup like that, and I think I'll do so but on a smaller scale. Thanks for the video and greetings from Peru🙌!!!

Aside from your filter, plants always prefer ammonia and that could be the reason why you dont see ammonia too.

The oase filter may just be noisey, idk, I've never had one. But the air purging is probably because your hoses are too long. Every big bend in the tubing, both intake and output, is a place where air bubbles form/get trapped. Then they move on eventually, going into the filter where they get trapped and build up some more, or out into the water column. Shortening the tubes to just as long as they need to be to reach will help far more than you'd think. With the heater, you should consider an inline heater since you have a canister. The problem with heating bigger tanks is getting the heated water to fully circulate around the tank. An inline heated sits on the outflow tube, so freshly heated water gets pushed wherever the outflow goes and as fast as the outflow pushes. You can sort of achieve this by putting your in tank heater right next to the intake pipe of the canister(or any filter). Then the heated water around the heater gets sucked up into the filter and pushed back out with the outflow. It is just a little less efficient. With either method, and a tank this big, you also have to consider the dead spots in flow. Some areas will just be warmer than others. Perhaps your tank is generally warmer than you think, but you just have your thermometer in a dead spot. It is also possible that it is just not a good heater. Idk. But I hope these suggestions help! I'm sad to see the discus go, but your planted tank is beautiful! If you ever want to try a larger fish again, consider angelfish. They aren't as colorful as discus, but have some wonderful patterns. They are way hardier, don't require as high of temps, and get a long with many other fish. Depending on their individual personality. You can keep just one. I had one in a planted community tank for nearly 7 years. The only fish I tried with him that he never liked were swordtails. But he got along with mollies, and those are pretty similar. Idk. They just have very strong personalities.

Thank you for a very nice video and for showing us your beautiful, wonderfully planted tank! Nowadays I only keep killifish, hence I probably have many more aquariums than you - but they are all a LOT smaller. 🔎🙂

Beautiful, and i think it is just the right amt of plants. More plants may hide the wonderful wood structure. Good job

Great looking scape Danny!

Beautiful, I like the setup. Also small fish in a large tank do really well.

Tank looks good… try shaking and knocking the air out of the filter for about 10 minutes. Also, if you put biomedia around the heater, take that out.. these two things solved my Oasé issues but I had a different series.

Love your tank. Looks incredible. I also love nano fish. They're so impressive in good numbers in a planted tank. I've had Green Rasboras for many years.in fact I think I like Rasboras more than Tetras and Barbs. I do love a Danio too. They're almost indestructible and never stop moving.

Your tank is very beautiful 😍

Look into the Fluval canister filters, very quite.

Nice set up. Try inkbird heater. It will be almost invisible against your black background.

Nice setup, first time I came across your channel and I'm looking forward to watching more content. Regarding the heater probably there is not enough flow around it and the heat goes straight up and the thermostat switches off prematurely.

mj aquascaping made a comment in one of his videos about the dennerle soil not releasing much ammonia or nutrients, which is similar to fluval statrum.

Nice tank, beautyfull scape. Big thumps up. The Aquael tank is a beautyfull tank, and i can recomend the Aquael filters. I have the ultramax 2000, and this one is so quiet. And I clean the pre filter once every 2 weeks. The filter is running now for 6 months and i did not clean it till this time. 👌🏻

Amazing. You earned a new subscriber :)

I don’t use many canister filters, but for the living room I went with Eheim filters and they are dead quiet.

as far as i know that ramirezi likes it at atleast 25C. They will look pale too at lower temps. 27C they do fine, they still look a bit pale even at 25C. might consider a different dwarf cichlid species when you want lower temps, there are some beautiful Apistogramma that are alike. Your planted tank looks very nice!

In referrence to the heater, have you tried multiple thermometers? I've had so many and i can promise you if you put 3 thermometers in your tank you’ll have 3 different readings. Same with TDS meters. But once you've calibrated you're gear you know where your at. 1 degree or 20ppm difference doesnt change much but I'm wondering how far the heater is out on the oase?

Hi Dani, about the noisy filter, try a cascade brand one, is the one I have and is very quiet I have it on my living room/dinner area

2nd comment, I really enjoyed this video. I have 11 aquariums, and 9 are fully planted. I keep my room temperature at 22c. This helps with temperature fluctuations.❤❤

Great scape. The Oasis filter are usually with some noise, I change to Eheim and they are quite, so it is a thought for you.

You should get an FX2 or 407, they are quality and quiet

Stunning scape, love it! Maybe I missed it, but what species of Cryptocoryne is the blue/purple ish one in the middle?

Wonderful aquascape❤

looks very very nice.. congrats

I have the Sicce Eko Space 200 and its completely silent, running in the same tank but the 200l optiset. Hope this helps.

That Oase sounds dreadful pull it out check all the seals check everything, contact Oase support. The excessive hum is probably caused by all that air and also why your heater isn’t working well, heating the water. For now where the pipe touch’s just wrap a bit of cloth around the pipe to reduce the hum and get some sanity back. Nice tank 👍

there is air in your filter, it shouldnt be there, press the blue button while the pump is running to purge it out, I have a 240 gallon tank running of 1 850 and a 600, both thermo, water temp stays great. There is far from enough water in your filter and you are probably running the heaters dry which breaks them. You should keep going with getting the air out until you no longer hear water running, it should be quiet as the pipes and filter are all full of water. Also, check to see where the air comes from, I thought I noticed a CO2 reactor in there, if you hook that up so it goes from the reactor to the filter you gonna have a bad time, the reactor should be the last stop before the tank. If the air comes down through your skimmer, the skimmer is not big enough for the filter, either use the oase valves to cut the flow or buy a bigger skimmer. My aquarium is standing in the middle of the living area of the house, if it would have sounded like that I would have switched brands a long time ago.

Tank is beautiful

"small lava rock in your area" is exactly the ad I want to see ngl

my bio master filter was noisey for about 8 weeks or so, now its silent. i think it just takes time to wear in. mines in my living room too and its completely silent

Seems you have a circulation problem , add a wavemaker in your tank to help your heater to adequately mix the heated water in the display tank . For that tank size , you will need multiple canister filter to help clean 5he water , 1 canister filter is not gonna cut it , low water movement . Hope this helps !

Problem with heaters is no matter how many you have them in tank unless they are electronicly connected it will always one start at a time and start heating up water so rest of them will never turn on most of times.Try to get 1 stronger from 150-200w but considering what you now have in tank temps. are not issue.I have Discus tank for 20 years and with 2 heaters 1 main and 1 backup.

Always use an internal filter . No noise and no mess .

The motor on my BioMaster 850 is whisper quiet. I do get air noise inside the canister, but less so than I used to.

Amazing Tank...

😍❤ the color of the plants 😍❤

The guppies should stay. They look like bursts of sunshine. Very nice.

The husband has to go so...lol. Impeller is vibrating, just remove it and clean it and replace. This works for me. Beautiful aquascape.

Love ❤️ it

Hi there, Beautiful tank. It’s a massive myth that washing sponges in tank water kills bacteria for tap water to kill it you’d need to soak it for hours even overnight. I also feel your plant load was a massive help to your levels. I look forward to watching it fill in. What was the bag of dirt/sand called I’d like to try some if it’s in Australia As for your filter is a hose vibrating on something? Is there grit in the empellar ? Try so high density foam underneath it. You could also line a box with sound proofing and use box as a cover. I know these things shouldn’t be necessary. Also have you checked if other with this filter have similar issues. Also the purging is normal and meant to occur It really is a beautiful tank. Regards Duzzy🇦🇺

But why no have both? i have a heavily planted aquarium with discus, the tank have been running for a couple of years now without any issues. Just need to select the right plants which can withstand high temperatures.And also having a planted increases water quality in tank, the plants filters the water and discus will be happier.

Hi. Regarding temperature: have you considered moving either the inlet or outflow from the filter to the other side of the tank (if at all possible)? I am under the impression that having both inlet and outflow on the same side creates a warm and a cold zone, because the heat never reaches the other end of the tank. Shame about the noise. I have a Biomaster 250 Thermo on a 125 litre tank, and it's dead silent.

I have always thought discus belonged in massive 8’ tanks or bigger. They are such a big fish that they look sad in smaller tanks.

So how do keep your tank so clean do you have to do water changes and clean your tank?

Give the filter a good shake, sounds like it's got air trapped in it. Lovely scape by the way 😊

Ist echt sehr schön geworden dein Aquarium! 👍Viel Glück weiterhin damit! 🍀 Wenn du einen leisen Außenfilter suchst, kann ich dir den Ultramax von Aquael empfehlen! 😉

Wha! You do gish aquariums, too?! 😮🤩

Maybe I missed it but what's the size of your tank?

Have you tried placing the fiter on some foam/rubber mat? I used to have an eheim, i had one of the pro ranges which had all the electronics. This from what i can remember was pretty quiet

is the filter having too much air in it?

I don’t know what is more gorgeous, the tank are you.

bonjour ,le filtre pas normal il a de l air regard au canne tu a un reglage mini et maxi on dirais que a l aspiration et au mini , le mien fait aucun bruit

My Biomaster is whisper quiet and the built in heater is more than adequate. There is something wrong with yours.

Wouldnt keep rams below 25c

how do you deal with algae??

What tank u got

Is there adequate water flow around your heater?

Could you put sound foam in the cabinet to dampen the sound?

What filter do you use please

more than half left on co2 thats great. how many bps are u currently at?

Why did you get rid of your discus?

Very nice. Check out my gigantic XXL 1300L Aquascape if you want 😊

what accent do you have? this is a beautiful tank

I cant hear my bio master even if i stick my ear up against it.

Your plants eat ammonia

"no Discus" in the thumbnail, "goodbye to Discus" in the title, I was expecting you to talk at least a little bit about the Discus. It's important to give the viewers what they came for. Otherwise it's a great looking aquarium, I like seeing many small fish in a big tank.
